Ketju research: Homora V2 (Alpha Finance)

RejectedPublished by Ketju Research

Research summary

This registry rejects Homora V2 because it is a dead protocol, not a candidate for allocation. Homora V2 is a leveraged yield-farming and lending protocol built by Alpha Finance Lab, now Alpha Venture DAO. DefiLlama's own protocol record has a `deadFrom` flag dated 2025-10-11. Its last-active chain shows on-chain TVL in the tens of thousands of dollars, not the roughly $110M figure that this registry's worklist first carried. That larger figure is a stale or cached snapshot, not the current state. The live front end now shows a banner stating "Alpha Homora is currently experiencing issues." Apart from its current operating status, the protocol suffered a confirmed $37.5M exploit in February 2021 through an accounting-rounding bug in an unreleased lending pool. The incident was serious enough that the post-mortem strongly implied the attacker needed insider knowledge to carry it out.

Observable review triggers

  • DefiLlama's dead-protocol flag is removed and current, meaningful on-chain TVL is confirmed
  • The live application's operational-issue banner is resolved and the underlying cause disclosed
  • A public accounting of the February 2021 exploit's attribution and any recovered funds is published
  • A named multisig with disclosed signers and a timelock governs any surviving admin authority
