On February 2022, TecraSpace was exploited in a other on Ethereum, resulting in approximately $63K in losses. That makes the TecraSpace exploit the 250th largest DeFi incident out of 690 documented in our archive.
Attack Mechanics: How the TecraSpace Other Played Out
Exploit Class Applied to TecraSpace
The TecraSpace incident on February 4, 2022 is classified as a Other. A specific exploit class outside the most common buckets. In the full archive, TecraSpace is 1 of 188 documented other incidents.
TecraSpace in Context
At $63K, the TecraSpace exploit is a minor (<$1M) event compared to the largest same-class incident in our archive — MIMSpell (2024) at $65M.
Prior Other Before TecraSpace
The nearest other incident before TecraSpace was Multichain (Anyswap), 17 days earlier on January 18, 2022 ($1 lost). The same exploit class surfaced again within the other attack surface.
TecraSpace Vulnerability Signature
The primary source categorises the TecraSpace exploit specifically as “Any token is destroyed”. This narrower label is entity-specific: it reflects how the TecraSpace contract failed, rather than the broad other pattern alone.
Target Chain: Ethereum
The vulnerable TecraSpace contract was deployed on Ethereum — one of 9 documented incidents on Ethereum. This determines the block cadence, mempool, and forensic tooling available to investigators.
