How scoring works →Summary
Midas Capital is a multichain DeFi isolated lending protocol that forked its codebase from Rari Capital's Fuse implementation. The protocol suffered two separate security exploits in 2023 totaling approximately $1.26 million in losses, with both incidents attributed to known smart contract vulnerabilities that had previously affected other Compound V2 forks. ZachXBT flagged the protocol, and the second exploit resulted in laundered funds routed through Tornado Cash.
