This is why zero trust protocols are needed. Don't even trust your own developers and administrators!

So, the top hundred that still have admin keys are : HYPE - ARB admin key for USDC MNT - L2 admin key ASTER - SC admin key ONDO - SC admin key POL - L2 admin key ENA - SC admin key ARB - L2 admin key PUMP - SC admin key AERO - BASE admin key LIT - L2 admin key SYRUP - SC admin key Drift just showed the world why admin keys are so bad; it not only defeats the entire purpose of crypto, but it is also outright dangerous!
