Summary

Wasabi Protocol is a decentralized perpetual futures and leverage trading protocol founded in 2022, enabling users to trade memecoins, NFTs, and other long-tail assets with leverage on Ethereum, Base, Blast, and Berachain. On April 30, 2026, the protocol suffered a critical exploit in which an attacker compromised the deployer EOA private key (wasabideployer.eth), granted ADMIN_ROLE to a malicious orchestrator contract with zero timelock delay, and executed UUPS proxy upgrades across all four chains to drain approximately $5.9 million in user funds. The stolen assets were subsequently consolidated into ETH and routed through Tornado Cash across five attacker wallets.
