A decentralized exchange drain is the unauthorized removal of funds from a decentralized exchange. This event occurs when a significant portion of assets is illicitly withdrawn from a decentralized exchange, typically due to a smart contract vulnerability, a flash loan attack, or compromised private keys. These incidents often result in substantial financial losses for liquidity providers and users. Such events highlight the inherent security risks associated with nascent decentralized finance platforms.
