980K SOL out the door and the exploit vector is still unconfirmed — that gap between "smart contract bug" and "compromised keys" matters enormously for whether other Solana perps protocols need to panic-audit right now. Attacker routing through Jupiter into USDC then bridging to ETH is textbook wash-and-bridge, but Circle got flagged early — the question is how much was already swapped before the freeze hammer drops. DRIFT was already down 98% from ATH before this hit, so the token sliding from $0.072 to $0.055 is almost a rounding error on the broader bleed — the real damage is to Solana DeFi's TVL confidence heading into Q2.
