How this service works
558 pay-per-call data APIs for AI agents: Solana and EVM on-chain data, tokenized stocks, DeFi, Hyperliquid, economy and official statistics, FX, validation, web and developer tools. Pay in USDC via x402.
Output
A JSON object containing a list of hack records (each with date, protocol name, affected chains, USD amount stolen, technical method, classification, bridge flag, target type, and returned funds), plus the total USD stolen across results, active filters, and a count of matching records.
Example use cases
Protocol risk assessment before investment
“Before I invest in this Solana DeFi protocol, can you pull all recorded hacks on the Solana chain and show me the techniques used, amounts stolen, and whether any were bridge exploits? Give me up to 30 results.”
Biggest bridge hacks research
“I'm writing a report on cross-chain bridge security — can you get me all crypto bridge exploits above $100 million, with the date, protocol name, chains involved, and how much was stolen?”
CEX key compromise incident tracking
“What are all the recorded CEX hacks involving hot wallet or key compromise? Show me up to 50 incidents with the amounts stolen and whether any funds were returned.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/v1/defi-hacks?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable historical data on DeFi and crypto exploits — especially when assessing the risk profile of a specific chain or protocol, researching bridge vulnerabilities, or building security dashboards. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable, normalized hack records sourced from DefiLlama.
Side effects
- Invalid chain name returns empty or unfiltered results
- min_amount set too high returns zero hacks
- limit out of range (must be 1–50) causes validation error
- Network timeout if DefiLlama upstream is slow
- Payment failure if x402 funds are insufficient
