Cross-Chain Bridges: The Overlooked Risk in DeFi
Cross-chain bridges make it easier to move assets across blockchains—but they’re also prime targets for hackers.
🔍 Real Case:
The Nomad Bridge was hacked for $190 million due to a validation bug in 2022. The attack exploited a simple logic flaw that affected hundreds of users in minutes.
📌 3 Questions Before Using Any Bridge:
1. Has it been audited? Always check for security reports.
2. Is the liquidity pool trusted and active?
3. Any past exploits? Search platforms like CVE or security bulletins.
🛡️ Cross-chain activity is powerful but comes with risks. Make sure you do your homework before transferring assets across chains.
