How scoring works →Summary
DIMO (Decentralized Infrastructure for Mobility Operations) is a Web3 vehicle data protocol built on Polygon and later migrating to Base, developed by Digital Infrastructure Inc. The protocol allows drivers to connect their vehicles, stream data, and earn $DIMO tokens in exchange. In November 2025, a sophisticated attacker compromised a developer key and withdrew approximately 30 million DIMO tokens (3% of total supply) from a Wormhole bridge contract, causing a price drop of over 57% in 30 days and triggering a CertiK security alert. The project has legitimate venture backing and a publicly identified founding team, but the security incident, centralized key management failure, and ongoing token unlock pressure are material risk factors.
