Nomad links the Ethereum, Avalanche, Evmos, Moonbeam, and Milkomeda blockchains.<\/p>\n<h2>Cross-chain bridges have multiple points of vulnerability<\/h2>\n<p>Cross-chain bridges connect different blockchains, enabling the transfer of data or tokens between otherwise incompatible chains. The technology is part of a drive to make the entire crypto ecosystem interoperable.<\/p>\n<p>Bridges make it possible to use assets on a different blockchain without going off-chain to trade for the required token on an exchange. Typically, they operate by an asset conversion process using a lock-mint-burn mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>However, bridges are susceptible to several <a href=\"https:\/\/hackernoon.com\/cross-chain-bridges-are-they-worth-the-risk\">vulnerabilities<\/a>, including a single point of failure\/centralization, low liquidity as the centralized entity must keep a pool of assets, technical vulnerabilities as the lock-mint-burn mechanism is governed by smart contracts, and censorship.<\/p>\n<h2>Chainalysis recommendations<\/h2>\n<p>The Chainalysis report said 13 separate bridge hacks have occurred to date this year, representing 69% of all stolen funds.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers charted a breakdown of other hacks versus bridge hacks showing no discernable pattern. Before Q3 2021, bridge hacks were non-existent. But Q1 2022 saw a peak in funds stolen from bridges; this coincided with a peak in total funds stolen.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_252271\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-252271\" style=\"width: 725px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-252271 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2022-08-03-134112.png\" alt=\"Chainalysis analysis of hacks\" width=\"725\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2022-08-03-134112.png 725w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2022-08-03-134112-300x125.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-252271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.chainalysis.com\/reports\/cross-chain-bridge-hacks-2022\/\">blog.chainalysis.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Chainalysis said in the report that, previously, exchanges were the primary target for hackers.
