How scoring works →Summary
Evoq Finance is a peer-to-peer lending optimizer built on BNB Chain that routes deposits through Venus Protocol to match suppliers and borrowers directly, aiming for improved capital efficiency. On September 10, 2025, the protocol suffered a critical security incident in which an attacker compromised the owner's private key, used the transferOwnership function to seize contract control, and upgraded the proxy contract to a malicious version, draining approximately $420,000 from both the protocol and user-approved accounts. Following the exploit, the protocol's total value locked collapsed to near zero and no verified public post-mortem or recovery plan has been identified. ZachXBT has flagged this entity.
