Lendfme Review: dForce Lending and Its 2020 Exploit

Lendf.Me was a dForce money-market protocol for supplying and borrowing crypto. Its reported 2020 exploit and unclear current status make it difficult to assess as a live service.

Our verdict on Lendfme

Lendf.Me was a dForce money market intended to connect crypto suppliers and borrowers. That lending use case may interest readers researching DeFi history, but the reported $25.2 million exploit is a serious caveat. Its present operating status, fees, supported assets, and security arrangements are unclear, so there is not enough information to assess it as a live lending option. Verify any current endpoint and its terms before considering an interaction.
