Curve exploit shows DeFi still far from decentralized in 2023

DeFi 2023 was supposed to solve the problem of centralized crypto collapses in 2022 like FTX, Celsius, Voyager, and Terra LUNA.

Arcadia Finance has said that it’s in contact with the exploiter who drained $455,000 in a hack made possible through code vulnerabilities.
