Despite marketing itself as non-custodial, DEXX stored user private keys in plaintext on its own servers — a centralization risk that CertiK had flagged as unresolved prior to the breach. A partial compensation initiative led by LBank was announced in early 2025, but full recovery of stolen funds remains unlikely as the attacker laundered substantial ETH through Tornado Cash.","timeline":[{"date":"2024-11-16","event":"DEXX private key breach begins; user assets across 8,600+ Solana wallets start draining in early morning hours","source":""},{"date":"2024-11-16","event":"CertiK confirms breach on Solana blockchain, attributes cause to improper private key management by DEXX platform","source":""},{"date":"2024-11-16","event":"DEXX founder Roy publicly acknowledges incident, asks for time to address the issue","source":""},{"date":"2024-11-16","event":"GoPlus Security warns DEXX victims of secondary phishing scams soliciting private key uploads","source":""},{"date":"2024-11-17","event":"DEXX applies for judicial wallet marking and requests Solana Foundation assistance to freeze hacker addresses","source":""},{"date":"2024-11-28","event":"SlowMist publishes investigation linking 8,612 Solana wallet addresses to attacker; total losses revised to $30 million","source":""},{"date":"2024-12-02","event":"SlowMist reveals EVM chain victim and attacker addresses, expanding scope to 7,205 EVM wallets","source":""},{"date":"2024-12-09","event":"Attacker begins depositing stolen ETH into Tornado Cash; initial transfers of approximately 1,000 ETH reported","source":""},{"date":"2024-12-09","event":"DEXX hacker transfers 4,700 ETH to Tornado Cash in a single batch","source":""},{"date":"2024-12-10","event":"Additional 300 ETH batch transferred to Tornado Cash by DEXX attacker; SlowMist founder Cosine confirms","source":""},{"date":"2024-12-14","event":"DEXX launches formal compensation portal for affected users","source":""},{"date":"2025-02-05","event":"DEXX opens compensation NFT staking portal, allowing affected users to participate in repayment scheme","source":""},{"date":"2025-02-08","event":"LBank announces $15 million seven-party coalition donation initiative for DEXX user compensation","source":""},{"date":"2025-02-18","event":"LBank reports more than 3,000 addresses have received compensation payments; compensation process at approximately 30% completion","source":""}]},"v":1}
