Axelar exploit raises questions about bridge security
The recent $4.67M exploit on Axelar's private bridge highlights ongoing risks in cross-chain infrastructure. Makes me wonder how many other hidden vulnerabilities are out there.
Another bridge exploit, another reminder
Just saw that Axelar's private bridge to Secret Network was exploited for $4.67M — an attacker minted unbacked tokens and redeemed them for real assets in minutes. The exploit went unnoticed for 9 days because of Secret Network's encrypted transactions. That's pretty alarming, isn't it? 🤔
What does this mean for $AXL and other bridge tokens? Trust is everything in cross-chain infrastructure, and incidents like this tend to weigh on sentiment. Could we see more scrutiny on bridge security — and maybe a rotation to more resilient designs? Curious how the market prices this risk going forward.
