This relates to the post highlighting Drift's $280m and AFX's $24.1m figures, with the screenshot capturing a recent AFX-related withdrawal transaction worth approximately $24.13m. > > "Drift $280m AFX $24.1m Ostium $18m Cascade $1.3m Aftermath $1.1m Dango $0.4m Dear perp DEXes, maybe it's time to spend some of the trading fees you collect from users on decent audits. You're cutting corners on audits by relying on Claude's recommendations, yet you expect users" ### Post #2 by @Nazo_ku > **Author:** Nazoku ([@Nazo_ku](https://x.com/Nazo_ku)) > **Metrics:** 9 likes · 0 retweets · 0 comments · 1.2K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-23T16:47:58+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/Nazo_ku/status/2080334116340543813](https://x.com/Nazo_ku/status/2080334116340543813) > **Visual Note:** The image shows a transaction history for wallet "8S9oMuXnZ4DvMSHD26y..." displaying several transfers, with two highlighted rows (in red boxes) showing DRIFT token movements: a 12-hour-ago "Bybit Deposit" of 12M DRIFT ($157.6K) and a 1-month-ago "KSHA on Pump.fun" transfer of 12M DRIFT ($204.24K). These highlighted transactions illustrate the ~$50K loss described in the caption, as the trader KSHA received 12M DRIFT (worth ~$204K) from Bybit a month ago and has now deposited the same amount back (now worth only ~$157.6K), effectively closing the position at a loss after the protocol's North Korean-related exploit. > > "Retail trader "KSHA" on Pump(.)fun has accepted a loss of nearly $50k after fully exiting the $DRIFT position they accumulated from Bybit about a month ago. It seems "KSHA" finally lost patience after placing blind faith in a protocol that had been exploited by North Korean" ### Post #3 by @DriftSolana > **Author:** Drift ([@DriftSolana](https://x.com/DriftSolana)) > **Metrics:** 67 likes · 1 retweets · 78 comments · 1.1K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-23T15:22:32+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/DriftSolana/status/2080312613418705287](https://x.com/DriftSolana/status/2080312613418705287) > **Visual Note:** An anime-style illustration of a muscular young man in a yellow 'DRIFT' tank top eating oatmeal with berries while wearing earphones, with a scenic ocean view behind him. > > "Good morning" ### Post #4 by @MixedPixelGames > **Author:** DRIFT DERBY ([@MixedPixelGames](https://x.com/MixedPixelGames)) > **Metrics:** 42 likes · 3 retweets · 1 comments · 524 views > **Posted:** 2026-07-23T14:00:00+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/MixedPixelGames/status/2080291845469270163](https://x.com/MixedPixelGames/status/2080291845469270163) > **Visual Note:** A promotional banner for 'DRIFT DERBY NIXED PIXEL' announcing '24 HOURS TO MINT' and 'GENESIS GARAGE OPENS TOMORROW' at 2 PM UTC, featuring colorful racing cars. > > "24 hours until the Drift Derby Genesis mint.
