Summary

ApeRocket is a DeFi yield farming aggregator and optimizer originally deployed on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Polygon in 2021. The protocol suffered two simultaneous flash loan exploits on July 14, 2021, resulting in combined losses of approximately $1.26 million and a 63% collapse in its native SPACE token price. The project attempted a V2 relaunch with improved security, but the SPACE token currently shows zero trading volume and effectively zero market capitalization, indicating the protocol is inactive.
