Abracadabra
High risk — three exploits in two years and a stablecoin that repeatedly breaks its peg demonstrate systemic smart contract quality issues
Top Risks
1
Three major exploits in under two years ($6.5M Jan 2024, $13M Mar 2025, $1.8M Oct 2025) demonstrate a pattern of recurring smart contract vulnerabilities in the Cauldron architecture.
2
MIM stablecoin depegged to $0.76 during the January 2024 exploit, showing that the peg mechanism cannot withstand protocol-level shocks.
3
The cook() multi-action batch function has been exploited twice via action-sequencing vulnerabilities that bypass solvency checks, and the general pattern may have additional undiscovered variants.
Risk Breakdown
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Abracadabra safe to use?
Abracadabra receives a D+ risk grade (62/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. High risk — three exploits in two years and a stablecoin that repeatedly breaks its peg demonstrate systemic smart contract quality issues A lending platform where users deposit crypto to borrow the MIM stablecoin. It holds $11M in deposits, down significantly from peak levels after three separate hacks since January 2024 totaling over $21M in losses. Its D+ grade reflects the pattern of recurring smart contract vulnerabilities and a stablecoin that dropped to $0.76 during one incident.
What are the main risks of using Abracadabra?
The key risks identified for Abracadabra are: (1) Three separate hacks since January 2024 stole a combined $21M+ from the protocol. The same type of vulnerability in the batch transaction system (cook() function) was exploited twice. (2) The MIM stablecoin crashed to $0.76 during the January 2024 exploit. If another hack occurs, MIM holders could lose 20% or more overnight. (3) Collateral depends on external protocols like GMX and Yearn. If those protocols are exploited, Abracadabra's Cauldrons inherit the losses as bad debt.
What is Abracadabra's risk score breakdown?
Abracadabra scores 62/100 across eight risk dimensions: Mechanism Novelty: 3/15, Interaction Severity: 20/20, Oracle Surface: 5/10, Documentation Gaps: 5/10, Track Record: 15/15, Scale Exposure: 3/10, Regulatory Risk: 2/10, Vitality Risk: 9/10. The highest risk area is Interaction Severity at 20/20.
How does Abracadabra compare to other Lending protocols?
Among 90 rated Lending protocols on Hindenrank, Abracadabra ranks #88 by safety (lowest risk score = safest). Its 62/100 risk score and D+ grade place it among the riskier Lending protocols.
