Is WOOFi Safe?

|DEX
C

Risk Grade: C (50/100)

WOOFi is rated as elevated risk — multiple novel mechanisms and notable interaction risks.

High risk — already exploited for $8.75M via a known attack pattern that remains viable on other deployed chains

A multi-chain decentralized exchange that uses a custom pricing algorithm fed by centralized market makers instead of traditional liquidity pools. It manages $30M in deposits. Its D+ grade reflects a $8.75M hack in March 2024 where an attacker used flash loans to manipulate the pricing engine, and the same attack could be repeated on other chains.

Key Risks for WOOFi Users

1.

A hacker stole $8.75M in March 2024 by crashing the WOO token price through the custom pricing algorithm -- this exact attack can be replicated on other chains

2.

All prices come from one company's market-making operation -- if that system goes offline, the exchange quotes stale prices and bots drain your deposits

3.

The exchange runs on 5+ blockchains, and a coordinated attack could drain pools across all of them before anyone can hit the pause button

Top Risk Factors

  • sPMM pricing algorithm was exploited for $8.75M in March 2024 via flash loan manipulation of WOO token price on Arbitrum
  • Entire pricing model depends on WOO Network centralized market makers for oracle feeds; market maker failure causes stale or manipulable prices
  • Multi-chain deployment multiplies the attack surface; the March 2024 exploit pattern could be replicated on other chains with low WOO liquidity
