How scoring works →Summary
OcelotDex is a decentralized exchange (DEX) operating as an automated market maker (AMM) on ZetaChain, a cross-chain interoperability blockchain. The protocol has an extremely low total value locked of approximately $4.57 as of mid-2026, indicating near-total user abandonment. A security incident reportedly resulting in approximately $4.9 million in losses via an infinite mint and dump vulnerability was attributed to the protocol in September 2024, though independent Tier 1 or Tier 2 confirmation of this specific event remains limited.
