Decentralized Exchange KiloEX Freezes Platform Following $7.5M Exploit

Decentralized exchange KiloEX suspended its platform Tuesday after hackers drained $7.5m, marking the latest security breach in the area of decentralized finance . In an announcement on April 14 via X, KiloEX confirmed it had halted operations immediately after detecting the exploit. The team said it contained the breach and launched an investigation alongside leading blockchain security companies. “The exploit has been contained. The team has immediately suspended platform usage and is working with security partners to trace the flow of funds,” the statement read. The exchange added it would soon launch a bounty program, offering rewards for assistance in recovering stolen assets.

The @KiloEx_perp protocol was hacked today with a loss of ~7.5m ($3.3m in base, $3.1m in opBNB, $1m in BSC). The protocol is now paused!

(@peckshield) April 14, 2025 Collaborative Efforts Underway to Minimize Damage from Exploit KiloEX said it has enlisted the support of blockchain networks and security experts. These include BNB Chain, Manta Network, Seal-911, SlowMist and Sherlock. Together, they are tracing and recovering stolen funds to minimize impact on users. In the aftermath of this incident, investor confidence sharply declined. The price of KiloEX’s native token, Kilo, fell more than 31% to $0.0353, according to data from CoinGecko. The token has lost over 78 per cent of its value since reaching its record high of $0.1648 on March 27. This hack comes shortly after last month’s breach at prominent crypto exchange Bybit, which saw attackers steal $1.5b in user funds , showing the vulnerabilities within decentralized finance platforms.
