🚨 SYMBIOSIS BRIDGE HACK: 46 Billion Fake $BTC Minted, LPs Left Waiting! 🚨
Cross-chain liquidity protocol Symbiosis experienced a major security breach on its native Bitcoin Bridge. An attacker exploited a vulnerability in the protocol's BridgeV2 system to mint billions of synthetic $BTC (syBTC) on the BNB Chain.
Here is what you need to know about the incident:
> The Exploit: The attacker minted roughly 46.1 billion syBTC out of thin air and converted a fraction of it on-chain to pocket around $336,000 in $WBTC .
> Funds Recovered: The Symbiosis team managed to recover approximately 15 $BTC, which is currently secured in a team-controlled multi-sig wallet.
> Liquidity Providers Left in Limbo: Despite recovering 15 $BTC, affected Liquidity Providers (LPs) have not yet received clear compensation terms or payout timelines.
> Current Status: Symbiosis has paused its native Bitcoin Bridge while routing alternative swaps via partners like THORChain and Chainflip. EVM, TRON, and TON routes remain operational.
The community is closely watching the team's next operational update to see how loss accounting and LP compensation will be handled.
