Quantstamp is pleased to sponsor the current cohort of DeFi Talents, a program for empowering talent for leadership in the decentralized finance space. Divided into three phases—basics, multi-disciplinary, and concentration—it is aimed towards ambitious, engaged innovators interested in a career path in DeFi, crypto assets and distributed ledger technology.

Over 18 weeks, participants will meet leading experts and industry professionals. In bi-weekly Zoom sessions, participants have a space to exchange knowledge and network with peers. The program admits 200 participants each cohort, with two cohorts each year, ultimately preparing 400 people each year for a career in the DeFi space.

“We are very excited to have gained Quantstamp as a partner for the DeFi Talents program,” says Jong-Chan Chung. “This is a great match between a security leader within DeFi space and a program preparing people to enter the industry.”

Other partners of the DeFi Talents program include Ledger Enterprise Solutions, Blocksize Capital, Bankhaus Scheich (Tradias), Algorand Foundation, and Capgemini Invent.

Quantstamp is pleased to be involved in this mentoring program and facilitating the entry of more talent into DeFi careers.

July Security Beat: Keys Over Code (Again?)

Crypto lost more than $240 million across 29 incidents in July 2026, up roughly 216% from June's $75.87M, even as the number of attacks fell from 40 to 29. For the second month running, the damage didn't come from clever contract exploits. The same failure class ran through Web2, from a $12.3M rail-industry ransom to a 1TB bank breach that started with one employee's email. Here's the month in security 👇

June Security Beat: Keys Over Code

$75.32M was lost across 32 crypto incidents in June, up from May's $59.52M. No coordinated campaign carried the month, but one targeted operation did. A targeted social-engineering attack against Humanity Protocol reached the keys behind the $H token and drained $32M, roughly 42% of every dollar lost in June. Quantstamp led the independent investigation and traced the tooling to a phishing campaign previously seen targeting macOS users. Offchain, a fresh npm supply chain wave hit Red Hat's packages on the first day of the month, and a PeopleSoft zero-day was exploited for two weeks before Oracle said a word.

May 2026 Security Beat

$59.52M was lost across 29 crypto incidents, down sharply from April's ~$635M. No single hack carried the month. The bigger story happened off-chain, where a self-propagating npm worm called Mini Shai-Hulud kept resurfacing in new waves through the month, ultimately spanning more than 1,000 malicious package versions across the npm ecosystem.
