The top 100 decentralised finance (DeFi) tokens had a bullish last week of May, with most of the tokens recovering from two weeks of bearish pressure.
Exit scams cost the DeFi community roughly $45 million in May 2023, whereas vulnerabilities of the DeFi protocols netted less than half that amount during the same period.

Incidentally, Jimbos Protocol has also announced an $800,000 bounty to the general public as negotiations with the hacker came to a halt. The protocol’s team made the bounty offer public and invited anybody to take advantage of it if they could assist in finding the exploiter or recovering the money. The Fantom network has begun paying programmers to produce gas.
