KiloExMicro-cap
High risk — already exploited once, and the same multi-chain architecture that enabled the hack remains in place
Top Risks
1
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
2
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
3
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 Breakdown
Frequently Asked Questions
Is KiloEx safe to use?
KiloEx receives a D+ risk grade (59/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. 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.
What are the main risks of using KiloEx?
The key risks identified for KiloEx are: (1) 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. (2) Deploying the same code on 4 blockchains means one bug gets exploited 4 times before anyone can fix it. Your losses multiply across chains. (3) 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.
What is KiloEx's risk score breakdown?
KiloEx scores 59/100 across eight risk dimensions: Mechanism Novelty: 2/15, Interaction Severity: 16/20, Oracle Surface: 10/10, Documentation Gaps: 6/10, Track Record: 15/15, Scale Exposure: 0/10, Regulatory Risk: 4/10, Vitality Risk: 6/10. The highest risk area is Oracle Surface at 10/10.
