Q1 2022
CRYPTO LOSSES IN Q1 2022
Prepared by Immune

The team at Immune , the leading bug bounty and security services platform
for web3 which protects over $100 billion in users’ funds, has assessed the
volume of crypto funds lost by the community due to hacks and scams in Q1
2022.

Overview
The global web3 space was valued at $3 trillion in 2021, and there is more than
$214 billion locked across di erent smart contracts according to DeFi Pulse.
That capital represents an unparalleled and attractive opportunity for blackhat
hackers.

We have reviewed all instances where blackhat hackers have exploited various
crypto protocols, as well as cases of alleged fraudulent protocols and founders
who have performed a rug pull in Q1 2022. We have located 25 such instances,
including both successful and semi-successful hacking attempts, as well as
fraud.

In total, we have seen a loss of $1,229,500,867 across the web3 ecosystem in


Q1 2022. Most of that sum was lost by 2 speci c projects, Ronin Network,
known for the Axie In nity game, and the Wormhole bridge. Unlike in previous
quarters, fraud was the cause of loss only for two projects: Arbix Finance and
Frosties, with the total gure amounting to $11,000,000.

These numbers represent almost a 7.9x growth compared to Q1 2021, when


hackers and fraudsters stole $154,609,199, and 1.6x growth compared to Q4
2021, when $753,386,793 was lost.
