On May 2023, SNK was exploited in a other, resulting in approximately $197K in losses. That makes the SNK exploit the 166th largest DeFi incident out of 690 documented in our archive.
Attack Mechanics: How the SNK Other Played Out
Exploit Class Applied to SNK
The SNK incident on May 10, 2023 is classified as a Other. A specific exploit class outside the most common buckets. In the full archive, SNK is 1 of 188 documented other incidents.
SNK in Context
At $197K, the SNK exploit is a minor (<$1M) event compared to the largest same-class incident in our archive — MIMSpell (2024) at $65M.
Prior Other Before SNK
The nearest other incident before SNK was HODL, 1 day earlier on May 9, 2023. The same exploit class surfaced again within the other attack surface.
SNK Vulnerability Signature
The primary source categorises the SNK exploit specifically as “Reward Calculation Error”. This narrower label is entity-specific: it reflects how the SNK contract failed, rather than the broad other pattern alone.
Impact & Recovery for SNK
SNK Loss Figure
