ERC 20 on Ethereum: Growth Risks and Hidden Traps in 2025

Trends New ERC-20 token creation on Ethereum YTD has increased by ~15% vs. 2024 (same period). At the same time, ERC-20 transfers on Ethereum YTD are up ~36% vs. 2024 (same period), with over 660M transfers expected by end-2025. Bar chart comparing the number of ERC-20 tokens created on Ethereum between January 1 and September 3 over two years. In 2024, 160,807 tokens were created, shown as a purple bar. In 2025, 185,745 tokens were created, shown as a cyan bar.

The CPIMP Attack: an insanely far-reaching vulnerability, successfully mitigated

[by the Dedaub team] A major attack on several prominent DeFi protocols over many blockchains was (largely) successfully mitigated last week. The threat was potentially affecting (at a minimum) tens of millions of overall value, and yet the attacker was waiting for even more before making their move! The most technically-interesting aspects of the threat don’t have to do with the infection method, but with the attack’s clandestine nature: the attack contracts had been hiding in plain sight for weeks, infiltrating (in custom ways!) multiple protocols, while making sure that they remain entirely transparent to both regular protocol execution and to contract browsing on etherscan.

The $11M Cork Protocol Hack: A Critical Lesson in Uniswap V4 Hook Security

On 28th of May 2025, Cork Protocol suffered an $11M exploit due multiple security weaknesses, culminating in a critical access control vulnerability in their Uniswap V4 hook implementation. The attacker exploited missing validation in the hook’s callback functions fooling the protocol into thinking that valuable tokens (Redemption Assets) were deposited by the attacker, thus crediting the attacker with a number of derivative tokens that could be exchanged back to other valuable tokens. The attacker also exploited a risk premium calculation, which compounded the attack. Among other things, this incident highlights the importance of proper access control in Uniswap V4 hooks and the risks of highly flexible open designs, which are very hard to secure.
