Port3 Network
Summary
Port3 Network is a Web3 social data protocol and AI data layer founded in 2022, backed by KuCoin Ventures and Jump Crypto, with products including SoQuest, SoSignal, and SoPush targeting Web3 community engagement and data aggregation. In November 2025 the project suffered a critical exploit in which an attacker leveraged a boundary-condition vulnerability in the third-party CATERC20 cross-chain standard to mint approximately 1 billion unauthorized PORT3 tokens valued at roughly $13 million, triggering an 80% token price collapse and full contract migration. ZachXBT has flagged the entity, and the token has been delisted from at least one major exchange (Coinone) following the incident.
