noun | dih·zahyn flaw uh·tak
A design flaw attack is like when you're playing Mario Kart and someone finds a shortcut that lets them skip half the track - it's an exploit in a smart contract or blockchain that allows hackers to steal funds or break the system. It's like finding out that your favorite DeFi protocol has a backdoor that leads straight to the developer's wallet.
Example
"I lost all my ETH in a design flaw attack on a yield farming platform that promised 10,000% APY. Turns out, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is (unless you're the one exploiting the flaw, in which case, good for you, you magnificent bastard)."
"Flash loan attacks are the new hotness in DeFi exploits - it's like taking out a payday loan to rob a bank, except instead of going to jail, you get to keep all the money and laugh at the poor suckers who got rekt. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, fam."
