Is KiloEx Safe?
Risk Grade: D+ (59/100)
KiloEx is rated as high risk — extreme novelty, critical interactions, unproven at scale.
High risk — already exploited once, and the same multi-chain architecture that enabled the hack remains in place
A perpetual futures exchange deployed on 4 blockchains where you can bet on crypto prices with up to 100x leverage. It holds $50M in liquidity vaults. Its D grade reflects a confirmed $7M hack in April 2025 where attackers manipulated price feeds on multiple chains simultaneously, exposing fundamental security failures.

Key Risks for KiloEx Users
Already hacked for $7M in April 2025 through a price feed exploit. The same vulnerability existed on all 4 chains, meaning attackers drained money from each one.
Deploying the same code on 4 blockchains means one bug gets exploited 4 times before anyone can fix it. Your losses multiply across chains.
Vault depositors are the counterparty to all trades. If prices are manipulated, vaults pay out real money for fake profits, and depositors absorb the loss.
Top Risk Factors
- •Exploited for $7M in April 2025 via oracle access control vulnerability allowing price manipulation; attack succeeded across BNB Chain, Base, and opBNB simultaneously, indicating systematic security failures
- •Oracle dependency: KiloEx's perpetual pricing mechanism relies entirely on external price feeds with insufficient access controls, creating single point of failure for protocol solvency
- •Cross-chain attack surface: deploying identical contracts on 4+ chains (BNB, Base, opBNB, Taiko) amplifies risk, as single vulnerability can be exploited multiple times before patches deploy
Risk Score Breakdown
KiloEx's highest risk area is Oracle Surface (10/10). Here's how each dimension contributes to the overall 59/100 score:
