Axelar Disables Secret Network Bridge Routes Amid $4.7 Million Security Breach

Axelar says a $4.7 million incident stemmed from the Secret Network’s ICS-20 smart contract, prompting the protocol to close affected bridge routes while investigations continue.

  • Axelar has disabled bridge routes to the Secret Network following a $4.7 million security breach attributed to a vulnerability in the Secret-side ICS-20 smart contract.
  • The exploit primarily affected assets being transferred from Axelar to Secret Network, with Axelar's core infrastructure and other integrations remaining unaffected.
  • This incident highlights ongoing security challenges in the cross-chain interoperability space and follows a series of recent exploits in the DeFi sector.
