The protocol suffered two separate critical exploits in 2025 — a ~$300,000 flash-loan collateral valuation attack in April and a ~$380,000 liquidation logic exploit in November — both on the Base chain, resulting in cumulative losses exceeding $680,000 and leaving lenders with unresolved bad debt. These incidents follow a 2022 private key compromise affecting the IMX token, representing a recurring pattern of security failures across the protocol's history.","timeline":[{"date":"2020-12","event":"Impermax Finance whitepaper published, outlining leveraged yield farming using LP tokens as collateral.","source":""},{"date":"2021-04-29","event":"IMX token launched via airdrop to approximately 35,000 Uniswap V2 liquidity providers. 14 million tokens distributed at token generation event.","source":""},{"date":"2022-07-16","event":"Private key compromise of several Impermax team wallets.

How verification works. The “Row integrity” check above is computed in your browser — your machine recomputes the SHA-256 of the canonical bytes and compares against the stored hash. No avoid.net server can fake that check. The “full verify” link goes one level deeper: your browser fetches the on-chain transaction from a Solana RPC node and confirms the same hash is in the memo. If you don’t want to trust either avoid.net or the public RPC, run the CLI verifier on your own machine — python -m src.verify_decision <event_id>.
