Cyrus Finance
Summary
Cyrus Finance is a decentralized yield-optimizer protocol operating on the BNB Smart Chain that markets itself as a high-yield DeFi platform utilizing PancakeSwap liquidity pairs and single-sided vaults. On March 22, 2026, the protocol suffered a $5 million flash loan exploit attributed to flawed pool-share accounting in its smart contracts, with no reported fund recovery. Multiple secondary domains (cyrusfinance.xyz) associated with the Cyrus Finance brand have been independently flagged as potentially malicious fake-broker sites that simulate trading activity and block user withdrawals.
