🕳️ The Wormhole Hack: $320 Million Exploit on Solana Bridge
In February 2022, one of the largest cross-chain bridges, Wormhole, which connected Ethereum and Solana, was exploited for over 120,000 wrapped ETH (wETH) — worth approximately $320 million at the time.
💥 The hacker found a vulnerability in the bridge’s smart contract that allowed them to mint wETH on Solana without depositing any ETH on Ethereum.
🌐 The exploit exposed how cross-chain bridges — essential for interoperability — were also becoming some of the biggest security risks in crypto.
💸 Jump Crypto, a key backer of Wormhole, stepped in and replenished all stolen funds to protect the ecosystem and user trust.
🔐 This incident triggered a wave of audits and security upgrades across the multichain world and served as a major warning for DeFi developers.
