Sonne Finance Hack: When Forking Code Costs $20 Million
On May 14, 2024, an attacker drained $20 million from the Sonne Finance protocol using a vulnerability that wasn’t new, wasn’t sophisticated, and wasn’t even a secret.

From DeFi User to Smart Contract Reader: What I Discovered About “Trustless” Crypto
“Decentralized” is often marketing. Real security analysis means checking WHO controls upgrades, IF there are safeguards, and WHAT trust assumptions you’re making.
Tools & Applications
Live dashboards and interactive tools for cross-chain analysis, portfolio tracking, and security monitoring.
The Mission
Hi, my name is Alex. I started Web3Fuel after one too many "How did that bridge get hacked?" moments. As a DeFi user, I was also tired of crossing my fingers every time I bridged assets, so I decided to actually understand the infrastructure.
Turns out, most bridge hacks follow predictable patterns. Most security issues are preventable. And most documentation assumes you already know what you're trying to learn.
Web3Fuel exists to change that by analyzing protocols, documenting vulnerabilities, and creating resources that help developers and users navigate cross-chain infrastructure with confidence, not hope.
