Maya Protocol suffered a hack that drained approximately $1.7 million by exploiting six chained bugs. The native CACAO token collapsed by 88%, falling from $0.115 to $0.013, before partially recovering to around $0.032. The attacker withdrew 48.87 million CACAO from a pool, representing nearly half of the token’s 100 million total supply, and transferred 20.83 BTC worth roughly $1.34 million to a single Bitcoin address. DefiLlama data shows 219 hacks totaling $1.26 billion in the first eight months of 2026, with 16 incidents recorded in August alone. Pseudonymous co-founder Aaluxx announced a global halt of the protocol and called on the attacker to return the stolen funds.
