anchored·5F6wiE…Mhk7Summary
Aquifer is a proprietary automated market maker (AMM) on Solana focused on stablecoin swaps, which had accumulated approximately $2.8 million in total value locked prior to a security incident on August 31, 2026. Attacker-controlled wallets on both Solana and Ethereum drained approximately $2.5 million from the protocol in what Aquifer attributed to a wallet compromise rather than a smart contract vulnerability. A 20% white-hat bounty offer with a September 3, 2026 deadline passed without any publicly confirmed return of funds, and no technical post-mortem has been released.
