In the cryptocurrency industry, projects rarely speak openly about their mistakes. Most choose to highlight only their successes while remaining silent about the difficult chapters of their history. When serious problems arise, many projects simply disappear, leaving their users without answers.

We chose a different path.

This is the most transparent article we have ever published. We intentionally want to share not only SuperEarn's achievements but also the most difficult moments in our journey—our mistakes, the loss of user assets, the difficult decisions we faced, and everything we learned along the way.

Publishing something like this is not easy. Most companies would probably never choose to openly discuss their failures. However, we believe trust is built not on a perfect history, but on honesty, transparency, and the willingness to take responsibility for every decision we make.

Over the past few years, we have made mistakes that came at a very high cost. But instead of shutting the project down or hiding what happened, we chose the much harder path: rebuilding the platform, honoring our commitments to users, and doing everything possible to ensure these events never happen again.

We want everyone considering SuperEarn today to understand not only what the platform has become, but also what it took to get here.

That is why we decided to tell our story openly, honestly, and without hiding the uncomfortable parts of our past.

The Beginning

On October 28, 2022, XBANKING officially launched.

The platform was created as a transparent and secure DeFi liquidity aggregation service, allowing users to deposit their digital assets while automatically allocating them across multiple DeFi protocols in search of competitive yields.

The project was founded by Alexey Salashny, who has been working in the financial industry since 2009. His experience in traditional finance inspired the vision of making decentralized finance significantly easier and more accessible for everyday users.

From the very beginning, XBANKING was never intended to become another standalone DeFi protocol. Instead, its goal was to aggregate the best earning opportunities available across the DeFi ecosystem within a single interface.

Rather than spending hours researching protocols, comparing yields, and constantly monitoring market conditions, users could rely on the platform to manage this complexity on their behalf.

The mission was simple: make decentralized finance accessible, transparent, and convenient for everyone.

The First Major Challenge

In 2023, the project faced the first major crisis in its history.

Due to internal mistakes within the development team, a critical vulnerability existed in the infrastructure responsible for managing aggregation wallets. An attacker was able to gain access to wallet keys, resulting in the loss of a significant portion of users' assets.

At that moment, it became the most difficult challenge the company had ever faced.

We acknowledged our mistakes and recognized that our security practices, development processes, and internal controls were not yet mature enough for a platform managing substantial amounts of digital assets.

Despite the scale of the incident, shutting down the platform was never considered the right solution.

Instead, we chose to focus on strengthening security, rebuilding the platform, and gradually reimbursing every user affected by the attack.

Over time, all assets lost as a result of this first incident were fully reimbursed.

Rebuilding the Platform

The first incident made one thing absolutely clear: fixing the consequences alone would not be enough.

We made the decision to completely redesign the project's technical foundation.

The platform's infrastructure was rebuilt from the ground up. The architecture for key management was redesigned, multiple new security layers were introduced, development standards were significantly improved, internal quality assurance procedures were strengthened, and much of the engineering team was replaced with more experienced professionals.

In many ways, this marked the birth of a new platform.

The lessons learned during this period fundamentally changed how we approach software development, security, infrastructure management, and operational risk.

Many of the security principles implemented during that rebuild continue to define SuperEarn today.

The Second Mistake Was Even More Costly

After successfully rebuilding the platform, it seemed that the most difficult chapter of our history was finally behind us.

Unfortunately, we later made another mistake—this time not in technology, but in risk management.

In an effort to provide users with higher returns, a significant portion of aggregated assets was allocated to a newly launched third-party DeFi protocol that appeared promising and offered highly attractive yield opportunities.

Only later did it become clear that the project was fraudulent.

After liquidity was withdrawn, access to the allocated assets was permanently lost, resulting in another major loss of user funds.

Unlike the first incident, this was not caused by weaknesses in SuperEarn's infrastructure.

Instead, it was the result of an incorrect assessment of the risks associated with a third-party protocol, combined with excessive concentration of capital in a single investment strategy.

This became the most expensive mistake in the history of the project.

The scale of the losses was so significant that reimbursing affected users required the launch of a long-term recovery program that continues today.

Although this chapter has been one of the most difficult in our company's history, it also completely transformed the way we evaluate investment opportunities.

Today, every protocol undergoes a comprehensive due diligence process before any user assets can be allocated. Risk management standards have become significantly stricter, and our diversification policies have been fundamentally redesigned to ensure that no substantial concentration of user assets can occur within a single protocol.

This experience permanently changed our philosophy.

Today, preserving users' capital always takes priority over maximizing potential returns.

Why We Didn't Shut Down

After the second major incident, we faced the most difficult decision in the company's history.

We could have shut the project down, declared it impossible to recover, and walked away.

Instead, we chose responsibility.

Behind every wallet is a real person. For many of our users, those assets represented years of hard work, savings, and trust placed in our platform.

We understood that simply closing the company would have been the easiest decision for us—but the worst possible outcome for our community.

That is why we committed ourselves to a much more difficult path.

We decided to continue building the platform while using its growth and operating revenue to gradually reimburse affected users.

Today, the majority of the lost assets have already been returned.

The reimbursement process is carried out in several phases as part of a structured recovery program.

Our goal is to fulfill every eligible reimbursement commitment by December 31, 2026.

This remains the company's highest priority.

Throughout this process, we have maintained constant communication with affected users, providing updates, answering questions, and continuing to fulfill our commitments step by step.

We firmly believe that trust cannot be restored through marketing or promises.

Trust is restored only through actions.

Lessons Learned

Everything that happened over the past several years fundamentally changed how we think about security and risk management.

Today, SuperEarn operates under an entirely different philosophy.

Every DeFi protocol is now subjected to a multi-layer evaluation process before any user assets can be allocated. Security architecture, smart contract quality, liquidity, protocol maturity, governance structure, operational history, technical risks, and numerous additional factors are carefully analyzed.

At the same time, our diversification strategy has been completely redesigned.

No significant concentration of user assets is permitted within a single protocol or investment strategy.

Even if a protocol offers exceptionally high returns, yield alone is never sufficient to justify excessive risk.

This principle now guides every investment decision made by the platform.

The challenges we experienced forced us to build a much stronger foundation than we might otherwise have created.

Looking back, those difficult years became the turning point that transformed SuperEarn into a significantly more mature company.

We are convinced that security must always come before profitability.

This philosophy now serves as one of the core principles behind every product we build and every decision we make.

Why XBANKING Became SuperEarn

Over time, it became clear that the project had outgrown the original XBANKING concept.

At first, the platform was designed solely as a DeFi yield aggregation service. However, as the ecosystem evolved, our vision became much broader.

We began building a complete financial ecosystem rather than a single DeFi product.

Over the following years, we introduced our own Web3 Wallet, Swap, Bridge, card services, and additional financial products. Many more services are currently in development, all aimed at creating a unified ecosystem where users can access both decentralized and traditional financial services from a single platform.

Eventually, it became obvious that the name XBANKING no longer reflected either the scale of the project or our long-term vision.

Our ambition had grown far beyond becoming another DeFi platform.

Our goal became building a next-generation crypto neobank—an ecosystem where users can manage their digital assets, earn passive income, exchange cryptocurrencies, move assets across blockchains, make payments, and access a growing suite of financial services through one application and one account.

For this reason, in 2025 we made the decision to undertake a complete rebranding.

XBANKING officially became SuperEarn.

The change involved much more than a new name. It included a new visual identity, a new brand strategy, and a clearer vision for the future.

The rebranding was never an attempt to distance ourselves from our past.

On the contrary, we believe our history should remain transparent.

We continue honoring every commitment we have made while simultaneously building the next generation of products on top of everything we have learned.

SuperEarn represents the next chapter of our journey.

SuperEarn Today

Today, SuperEarn is a fundamentally different company from the one that launched in 2022.

Over the past several years, we have rebuilt our infrastructure from the ground up, strengthened every aspect of platform security, introduced comprehensive risk management procedures, and assembled an experienced team capable of building products for the long term.

The platform continues to expand while funding the reimbursement program through its ongoing business operations.

Every major decision we make today is shaped by the lessons we learned during our most difficult years.

Security is no longer just one priority among many.

It is the foundation upon which everything else is built.

Our platform now employs multiple layers of protocol verification, rigorous risk assessment procedures, strict diversification rules, and significantly higher security standards than ever before.

Every new product we launch is developed with one primary objective:

To provide users with a platform they can rely on for years to come.

We Chose Responsibility

The cryptocurrency industry has seen countless projects disappear after encountering serious problems.

Some quietly shut down.

Others stopped communicating with their communities.

Many simply abandoned their users altogether.

We chose a different path.

We openly acknowledge our mistakes.

We explain what happened.

We accept responsibility for our decisions.

And every single day we continue working to build a platform that is stronger, safer, and more reliable than it was yesterday.

Every challenge we faced became a lesson that shaped the company SuperEarn has become today.

We do not ask anyone to trust us simply because we say so.

Instead, we encourage people to judge SuperEarn by our actions.

Judge us by the infrastructure we rebuilt.

Judge us by the reimbursement program we continue to execute.

Judge us by the products we continue to launch.

Judge us by the transparency with which we speak about our past.

Over the years, we have become significantly more experienced, disciplined, and resilient.

Today, SuperEarn continues to grow every day.

We are no longer building only a DeFi platform.

We are building a next-generation crypto neobank designed to unite decentralized finance and modern financial services into a single ecosystem.

Our story is far from perfect.

But it is precisely those imperfections that made us who we are today.

We believe trust cannot be earned through marketing campaigns or bold promises.

It is earned through transparency.

Through accountability.

Through consistency.

And through honoring every commitment we make.

That is the path SuperEarn has chosen.

And it is the path we will continue to follow.
