DeFi Exploit: Balancer - Rekt II Date: 11/3/2025 Loss: $128,000,000 USD Tags: Balancer, Rate Manipulation, Rekt Summary: A rounding function with one direction – down - became a $128 million exploit across several chains. Attackers manipulated rates in Balancer's pools, then some forks of Balancer realized they'd copy-pasted the same bug. Open source means everyone copies the code - including the bugs.
