Summary

Aquifer, a proprietary automated market maker operating on Solana, lost approximately $2.5 million on August 31, 2026 to an exploit that drained wallets on both Solana and Ethereum. Aquifer's team believes the incident stemmed from compromised wallet access rather than a smart-contract vulnerability, and offered the attacker a 20% white-hat bounty in exchange for returning at least 80% of the funds by September 3, 2026. As of the most recent reporting, no return of funds has been publicly confirmed, no technical postmortem establishing the root cause has been released, and it is unclear whether law enforcement has become formally involved.
