# DeFi Hacks & Exploits Recent Feed

> DeFi Hacks & Exploits Recent Feed is a paid API for AI agents from x402-data-api.sigrunner.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Returns the most recent DeFi and crypto security incidents including date, protocol name, USD amount lost, affected chain(s), attack technique, and whether it was a bridge hack.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability defi-hacks-exploits-recent-feed-abfa20c9
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the 20 most recent DeFi hacks and exploits — I want to see which protocols were hit, how much was lost, what chain they were on, and whether any were bridge hacks?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs live, structured DeFi security-incident data including attack technique and bridge-hack classification — specifically sourced from DefiLlama. Prefer this over generic news APIs when the agent needs machine-readable risk signals with USD loss amounts and chain attribution for DeFi-specific decision-making.

## Known failure modes

- limit parameter exceeds 50 — may return an error or be capped at 50
- upstream DefiLlama data unavailable — service may return empty or stale results
- no recent hacks recorded — returns an empty hacks array
- invalid query parameter type — string expected for limit

## How this service works

Most recent DeFi/crypto hacks and exploits (DefiLlama): date, name, amount lost USD, chain, technique, bridge-hack flag; ?limit= up to 50. No required params. Use when an agent needs live security-incident risk signals.

## Output

A JSON object with a 'hacks' array where each entry contains the protocol name, USD amount lost, affected chain(s), date of the incident, attack technique used, and a flag indicating whether it was a bridge hack. Returns up to 50 incidents sorted by recency.
