- Polychain: 55%
- Hack VC: 46%
- The Spartan Group: 22%

On the contrary, the lowest % was:

According to Hacken, Q1 2025 saw $2.05B lost to hacks and scams, a 96% YoY jump

Access control exploits drove $1.6B of that, mainly from multisig failures (Bybit)

Is the industry moving too fast? To the point where vulnerabilities aren't in code, but in human processes?

There’s an 86% chance your token dumps 80%+


If you're planning to launch, here's your survival kit:

- Start with a sane market cap

- Keep the valuation under $10M

- Focus on users over followers

- Monetize early, it pays for MMs and marketing

Initial market cap is the reason tokens pump.

Fully diluted valuation is the reason tokens dump.
