Quick answer

This address is flagged in public scam/exploit label data as Exploit — linked to a smart-contract exploit — an address used to drain funds from a vulnerable DeFi protocol. Its Hopchain label comes from the source list's own name for it: “SperaxUSD Exploiter MultiSig” on arbitrum-mainnet. If it shows up as a connection on a wallet you're checking, don't interact with it, sign anything it prompts, or visit any site linked to it.

Frequently asked

Is it dangerous just to receive tokens from a flagged address?
Receiving alone doesn't put your wallet at risk. The danger comes from interacting back — don't visit any site linked in the token's name or metadata, and don't sign anything it prompts, including a "claim" or "approve" transaction.

Why does Hopchain flag this specific address?
It's cross-referenced against verified public phishing/exploit/heist/scam label data (see how it works). Coverage isn't complete for every chain — Ethereum mainnet and Base aren't covered by this particular source yet, a known, disclosed gap.

What if I already approved this address to spend a token?
Open your wallet's connected-apps or approvals view (or a revocation tool) and revoke it. An approval only lets a contract move funds you granted it access to — revoking it removes that permission.
