anchored·58FDgB…S3g8Summary
Typus Perp is a GMX-style perpetuals DEX operating on the Sui blockchain, developed by Typus Finance (founded by Tommy Chen). On October 15, 2025, the protocol suffered a $3.44 million oracle manipulation exploit that drained its TLP liquidity pool entirely — caused by an unaudited smart contract module that was excluded from the project's May 2025 MoveBit security audit. As of May 2026, the protocol has minimal TVL ($126K) and the stolen funds have not been recovered.
