The losses spanned Arbitrum, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Cardano and Bitcoin-adjacent infrastructure. The peak was a July 22-23 cluster that Blockaid called 'Hackers Day', when AFX Trade, Verus and B² Network lost about $35.6 million within roughly six hours. Most attacks used non-code vectors such as compromised signing keys, abuse of upgrade authority, off-chain relayer or solver flaws and unpatched validation bugs. No common threat actor has been identified.","sections":[{"content":"July 2026 saw a cluster of cross-chain bridge exploits that analysts called a 'bridge hacking boom': at least seven separate bridge attacks across several ecosystems in one month. Estimates of the bridge-specific losses range from about $47 million to $57 million. The PANews July security report identified bridge attacks as the dominant loss category, with concentrated bridge attacks exceeding $35 million within 24 hours on July 22-23. Decripto's analysis alleged that AI-assisted tooling was speeding up attackers' work. Two further incidents are closely related: the Taiko bridge exploit on June 22, 2026, whose recovery ran into July, and the Garden Finance solver breach on July 26-27. Reported year-to-date bridge losses reached about $328.6 million across eight or more major incidents, though pages differ on when that figure was reached (see Broader context).","heading":"Overview of the wave","sources":[{"url":"https://panews.io/articles/019fc67f-accb-77ca-93b2-4e7507f44f2d","name":"July Security Monthly Report: Total Losses Approximately $97 Million, Concentrated Cross-Chain Bridge Attacks Surge Over $35 Million — PANews","type":"research","credibility":2},{"url":"https://decripto.org/en/bridge-hacking-boom-in-2026-seven-attacks-in-a-month-artificial-intelligence-is-to-blame/","name":"Bridge hacking boom in 2026, seven attacks in a month: artificial intelligence is to blame — Decripto","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://bitcoinfoundation.org/news/crimes-and-fraud-news/bridge-hacks-july/","name":"Two Cross-Chain Bridges Hacked in One Day — $31.5M Lost — Bitcoin Foundation","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/07/26/crypto-loses-over-47m-in-a-week-as-afx-trade-wanchain-verus-get-hacked/","name":"Crypto Loses Over $47M in a Week as AFX Trade, Wanchain, Verus Get Hacked — CryptoTimes","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"TeleSwap, which describes itself as a Bitcoin-native bridge hub, began showing suspicious outflows from its Bitcoin hot wallet around July 15, 2026.

At about 21:30 UTC on July 22, 2026, Blockaid detected an attack on AFX's custodial cross-chain bridge. The attacker held the private signing keys of five of the bridge's seven hot validators, giving 7,142 of the 10,000 voting units, above the 6,667 needed for the roughly two-thirds quorum. With these keys the attacker authorized a withdrawal of about $24.15 million in USDC, which the contract released after its 200-second challenge window passed unchallenged. The USDC was bridged to Ethereum, converted to about 12,467.5 ETH at around $1,937 per ETH and consolidated in a single wallet tracked by PeckShield, leaving the protocol's TVL nearly empty. Analysts noted that neither cryptography nor contract logic was broken: the bridge worked as designed, and the failure lay in custody of the off-chain validator keys. Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder said the Arbitrum native bridge was not compromised and that the exploit was specific to AFX's third-party bridge. AFX halted bridge operations and brought in SlowMist and Zellic, which had previously audited the bridge contracts. Halborn published a technical post-mortem. AFX head of growth Ken C. offered the attacker, on-chain, a deal to keep 30% (about $7.2 million) as a bounty and return the other 70%; commentators called this unusually generous.

The flaw sat in the bridge's import path, in VerusProof.checkExportAndTransfers: proof verification confirmed transfer hashes without checking that the amount released on Ethereum was backed by matching assets on the Verus chain. A 0.01 VRSC transaction triggered unbacked payouts of about 1,137 ETH, 71.5 tBTC and other tokens to one attacker wallet, which Blockaid identified as 0xCFd0...2D54. Independent researcher exvulsec confirmed the exploit signature within minutes. Blockaid placed the flaw in the same vulnerability family as the 2022 Wormhole and Nomad hacks. According to Blockaid and CertiK, the attack used 'the same bridge contract, the same entry path, and the same bug class' as the May 18, 2026 exploit, but from a different transaction and wallet, which points to a different, possibly copycat, attacker. Pages put the May loss at about $11.5 million, $11.58 million or $11.6 million. The May attacker forged a Merkle proof, converted the proceeds to about 5,402 ETH, and later returned most of the funds after accepting a white-hat bounty of about 25%. On July 8 the Verus team redeposited about $11.58 million of recovered funds into the bridge without patching the flaw, and those funds were drained again on July 23. The July proceeds were consolidated into about 3,916 ETH and partly routed through Tornado Cash.

No security firm, regulator or law enforcement body has attributed the three to a common actor, shared tooling or shared wallet infrastructure. The 'Hackers Day' label describes timing, not a confirmed attribution. Analysts note that bridges share an architecture of concentrated locked liquidity controlled by validator sets or admin keys, which makes them attractive targets whether or not attacks are coordinated.

CoinDesk and Blockaid grouped the July 22-23 cluster into three failure modes: logic flaws, where code ran as written but the rules allowed unauthorized releases; compromised keys or permissions, where admin access was seized without breaking any cryptography; and validation failures, where the bridge did not check source-chain collateral before releasing funds. CoinDesk said 'none broke the underlying cryptography — each was either a logic flaw or a compromised key.' Blockaid urged audits of off-chain components such as private-key management, not only contract code. Decripto alleged that attackers were using AI-assisted tooling to find and exploit these surfaces faster. The 1inch blog wrote that bridges produced most of 2026's largest DeFi exploits, with failure modes unchanged since 2022.","heading":"Systemic attack-vector analysis","sources":[{"url":"https://panews.io/articles/019fc67f-accb-77ca-93b2-4e7507f44f2d","name":"July Security Monthly Report — PANews","type":"research","credibility":2},{"url":"https://decripto.org/en/bridge-hacking-boom-in-2026-seven-attacks-in-a-month-artificial-intelligence-is-to-blame/","name":"Bridge hacking boom in 2026, seven attacks in a month: artificial intelligence is to blame — Decripto","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://1inch.com/blog/post/the-biggest-bridge-hacks-in-2026","name":"The biggest bridge hacks in 2026 — 1inch Blog","type":"research","credibility":2},{"url":"https://coin98.com/blog/why-cross-chain-bridges-keep-getting-hacked/","name":"Why Cross-Chain Bridges Keep Getting Hacked — Coin98","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/07/23/bitcoin-ethereum-linked-protocols-lose-usd35-million-in-multiple-attacks-hours-apart","name":"Bitcoin, Ethereum-linked protocols lose $35 million in multiple attacks hours apart — CoinDesk","type":"news_article","credibility":1},{"url":"https://en.spaziocrypto.com/defi/35-million-drained-three-protocols-six-hours-cryptography-held/","name":"$35M Drained from Three Bridges: Cryptography Held Firm — Spaziocrypto","type":"news_article","credibility":3},{"url":"https://blockonomi.com/dual-crypto-bridge-exploits-drain-31-6m-within-seven-hours","name":"Dual Crypto Bridge Exploits Drain $31.6M Within Seven Hours — Blockonomi","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"Stolen funds were quickly converted and moved across chains.

PANews put July 2026 security-incident losses at about $97 million, about $94 million from hacks and contract vulnerabilities and about $3 million from phishing. By PANews' method, bridges accounted for more than $35 million (the survivor page also cites a share of about 21%). FX Daily Report gave about $110 million. CryptoAdventure and NullTX gave $210 million, including a Coldcard hardware-wallet bug worth about $110 million on its own; Cryip gave nearly $200 million; and Medium/Coinmonks gave $242 million. CryptoRank described July losses as 'near $100 million' after the AFX exploit, and before it DefiLlama had counted 13 July hacks totalling about $72.6 million. Other notable July incidents in the PANews report were an Ostium oracle breach ($23.75 million), a BonkDAO governance exploit ($20 million), a Bonzo Lend oracle attack ($9.05 million) and a Summer.fi vault misconfiguration ($6.04 million). Pages differ on how the $97 million figure should be read (see merge notes). PANews reported an 18.7% increase over June, while another page put June at $75.32 million. For H1 2026, Blockaid reported on July 29 a record of more than $1.1 billion lost across 212 verified incidents, led by Ethereum and Solana. The four largest incidents, KelpDAO ($292 million), Drift Protocol ($285 million), Resolv and CowSwap, made up about $707 million, or 64%. The KelpDAO, Drift and Humanity Protocol exploits (about $609 million) were attributed to the Lazarus Group. Immunefi and TRM Labs, using different methods, put H1 2026 losses below $1 billion while agreeing that incident volume was a record. Cumulative 2026 bridge losses of $328.6 million are cited as of mid-May (PeckShield, via one page) and as of the end of July across at least eight major incidents (survivor). Some DeFi analysts projected that full-year 2026 bridge losses could exceed $1 billion.","heading":"Broader context: July and H1 2026 losses","sources":[{"url":"https://panews.io/articles/019fc67f-accb-77ca-93b2-4e7507f44f2d","name":"July Security Monthly Report: Total Losses Approximately $97 Million — PANews","type":"research","credibility":2},{"url":"https://medium.com/coinmonks/july-2026-crypto-hacks-242m-lost-as-a-hardware-wallet-bug-outweighed-every-defi-exploit-56ef16f82dc5","name":"July 2026 Crypto Hacks: $242M+ Lost as a Hardware Wallet Bug Outweighed Every DeFi Exploit — Medium/Coinmonks","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://cryptoadventure.com/crypto-hack-losses-jump-177-to-210m-in-july-as-coldcard-drain-leads/","name":"Crypto Hack Losses Jump 177% To $210M In July As Coldcard Drain Leads — CryptoAdventure","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://cryip.co/july-2026-crypto-hacks-nearly-200m-lost-wallets-defi-bridges/","name":"July 2026 Crypto Hacks: Nearly $200M Lost Across Wallets, DeFi and Bridges — Cryip","type":"news_article","credibility":3},{"url":"https://nulltx.com/how-julys-210m-in-hacks-could-have-been-prevented","name":"How July's $210M In Hacks Could Have Been Prevented — NullTX","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://cryptorank.io/news/feed/e911c-afx-bridge-exploit-drains-24-million-as-july-crypto-hack-losses-near-100-million","name":"AFX Bridge Exploit Drains $24 Million as July Crypto Hack Losses Near $100 Million — CryptoRank","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/07/29/crypto-hacks-cross-1-1b-in-record-h1-2026-losses-blockaid/","name":"Crypto Hacks Cross $1.1B in Record H1 2026 Losses: Blockaid — CryptoTimes","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/409944/crypto-hacks-hit-record-high-in-h1-2026-as-losses-top-1-billion-blockaid-says","name":"Crypto hacks hit record high in H1 2026 as losses top $1 billion, Blockaid says — The Block","type":"news_article","credibility":1},{"url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/407707/crypto-hack-losses-fall-below-1-billion-in-h1-2026-even-as-attack-volume-hits-record-immunefi","name":"Crypto hack losses fall below $1 billion in H1 2026 despite record attack volume: Immunefi — The Block","type":"news_article","credibility":1},{"url":"https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/h1-2026-crypto-hacks-reach-record-high-as-losses-fall-below-usd-1-billion","name":"H1 2026 Crypto Hacks Reach Record High as Losses Fall Below USD 1 Billion — TRM Labs","type":"research","credibility":1},{"url":"https://bitcoinfoundation.org/news/crimes-and-fraud-news/crypto-hacks-june-2026/","name":"PeckShield: Hackers Drained from Crypto $750M in H1 of 2026 — Bitcoin Foundation","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://bitcoinfoundation.org/news/crimes-and-fraud-news/bridge-hacks-july/","name":"Two Cross-Chain Bridges Hacked in One Day — $31.5M Lost — Bitcoin Foundation","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/07/26/crypto-loses-over-47m-in-a-week-as-afx-trade-wanchain-verus-get-hacked/","name":"Crypto Loses Over $47M in a Week as AFX Trade, Wanchain, Verus Get Hacked — CryptoTimes","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"high"}],"timeline":[{"date":"2026-05","event":"Verus-Ethereum bridge first exploited (reported as May 18) for about $11.5-11.6 million via a forged Merkle proof; proceeds converted to ~5,402 ETH.
