Summary

WOOFi Swap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built by WOO Network, operating on 12+ blockchain networks including Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Optimism, and using a proprietary synthetic Proactive Market Maker (sPMM) algorithm. On March 5, 2024, the protocol suffered a critical oracle manipulation exploit on Arbitrum in which an attacker used flash loans to manipulate WOO token pricing to near zero, stealing approximately $8.75 million; funds were not recovered. The parent platform WOO X also suffered a separate $14 million phishing-linked breach in July 2025 attributed to North Korean state-sponsored threat actors, compounding the ecosystem's security record.
