Following a recent DeFi smart contract compromise, Charlie Lee has attacked the sector for being centralised. The Litecoin founder called the decentralised finance industry, growing fastest on Ethereum, “decentralization theatre”.
The most recent application to succumb to a smart contract security breach is the non-custodial crypto margin trading service Fulcrum. Following the compromise, developers at Fulcrum have frozen the affected contract.
