DxSale
Summary
DxSale is a decentralized token launchpad and liquidity-locking platform launched in August 2020, originally on Ethereum and later expanded to BNB Chain and other EVM networks. On May 28, 2026, a hidden backdoor in legacy BNB Chain liquidity locker contracts was exploited to drain approximately $7.3 million from more than 1,400 LP positions locked as far back as 2021. On-chain analysis identified a 269-day pre-exploit ownership transfer chain passing through approximately 80 wallets, with indicators strongly suggesting insider involvement by a current or former team member.
