So here we are again. Not a smart contract exploit in the classic sense, but a rules-as-written treasury drain that sailed through governance because nobody showed up. If you hold meme tokens with DAOs attached to them, this is the wake-up call. The BONK saga isn’t just a one-off. It shows how cheap it can be to buy enough votes, meet quorum, and walk out with a treasury haul if a community is disengaged. The fix isn’t magical. It’s mostly better parameters, better process, and people actually voting.
