This term describes the phenomenon where value or assets are removed from a cryptocurrency network or protocol, often leading to a decrease in its total value. An asset drain can occur through various mechanisms, including protocol inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, or deliberate exploitation. Understanding these drains is crucial for assessing the financial health and operational integrity of digital asset ecosystems.
