Code Flaws and White-Hat Fixes: A Kivqoro Take on the $2.2M Exploit

A recent multi-million dollar exploit just put the digital asset space on high alert again. Over $2 million vanished rapidly due to a logic flaw in a decentralized protocol. Looking at the on-chain data through Kivqoro, the speed at which this vulnerability was manipulated shows exactly why deploying smart contracts remains a high-wire act. Code dictates everything, and even a minor oversight can drain a liquidity pool in minutes.

But the really interesting part of this news isn't the hack itself; it is the aftermath. Because public ledgers are completely transparent, ethical developers—often called white-hat hackers—could trace the stolen assets in real-time. In this specific case, they managed to intercept and recover the vast majority of the $2.26 million before the attacker could successfully wash the funds through external mixers.
