On April 2, Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated, “The Drift incident has far-reaching implications, affecting the entire ecosystem. The Drift team is working tirelessly to investigate and control the situation, and we are doing our best to provide support. The smart contract itself has withstood the test. The real target of the attack is ‘people’—more related to social engineering and operational security vulnerabilities rather than exploitation at the code level. Solana has repeatedly emerged from difficulties, continuously advancing through faster iterations, better construction, mutual support, and enhanced security. Please remain vigilant, check your security settings, and continue building. We will provide updates as new developments arise.”
