Midnight token rebounds 19% after Wanchain bridge hack, Hoskinson calls for ZK revamp
COINDESK ·
Bridge hacks have been one of crypto's most persistent and costly attack vectors for years. Billions of dollars have been drained through cross-chain bridge exploits, including the Ronin, Wormhole and Nomad attacks, which collectively lost over $1.5 billion. The attacks typically target the smart contracts or multisig setups that facilitate token transfers between chains. Hoskinson said zero-knowledge systems like Midnight are designed to eliminate that trust dependency entirely, replacing bridge operators and multisigs with cryptographic proofs.
