The total value locked (TVL) across all decentralised finance protocols has surpassed $84 billion for the first time in history. As the space reaches new heights, cyber criminals are becoming increasingly interested. DeFi-related attacks have become so common that one protocol has created a "DeFi REKT database." According to the CipherTrace database, more than 2,500 projects have been ‘REKT,' with a total loss of about $474 million to Ghostface murderers in 2021.
