Notes and record state

Record note
June 1 is used as a month-level launch marker because KiloEx's official roadmap establishes a June 2023 mainnet launch but not one definitive public launch day. Existing April 2025 exploit, pause, recovery, and compensation events are not duplicated. Current first-party pages confirm active perpetual, spot, earn, and staking services.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
