Other notable exploits included attacks on Orange Finance, IPC, and The Idols protocols. NFT , UniLend Finance, Odos, Laura Ai, Pika Infinity and Sorra.

Interestingly, there were no cases of fraud registered this month.

In January, the most vulnerable network was BNB Chain . It accounted for 10 attacks and 50% of the total losses on the blockchain. Ethereum - 25%. Arbitum and Base survived two exploits each, Optimism - one.

Blockchain security platform Immunefi has paid out more than $112 million in bounties to white hat hackers and developers who have identified nearly 3000 vulnerabilities.
