Incident Overview
On April 30, 2026 (UTC), Wasabi Protocol experienced a security incident. Attackers exploited an analytics surface (Spring Boot Actuator heap dump) on the project’s AWS infrastructure, which leaked credentials and ultimately allowed them to obtain the private keys controlling the EVM smart contracts. The attackers then launched a withdrawal attack, draining $4.8 million in user funds from the listed EVM vaults and an additional $900,000 from Wasabi’s treasury. The breach was limited to EVM deployments on Ethereum Mainnet, Base, Blast, and Berachain. The Solana deployment and Prop AMM were completely unaffected. The team contained the attack within the first 48 hours, rotated keys, locked down contracts, reopened withdrawals for unaffected vaults on May 2, and engaged external security firm zeroShadow for on-chain tracing, recovery efforts, and law enforcement coordination.
