Bridgers is a no-KYC, non-custodial cross-chain swap and liquidity aggregation service operated by SWFT Blockchain, a company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Silicon Valley. On August 9, 2026, blockchain intelligence firm BlockWatchdog identified Bridgers as the cross-chain linking mechanism in the $8.07 million Coinsbuy exchange hack, with Bridgers' Ethereum payout contract forwarding stolen funds directly into the attacker's designated swap wallet. Whether Bridgers was complicit, negligent, or an unwitting relay has not been determined; no regulatory action or legal finding has been made against the platform.

ChangeHero / SWFT Blockchain official site9 August 2026
Attackers drained approximately $8.07 million from Coinsbuy across TRON (eight wallets, ~$6.04M USDT) and Ethereum (three wallets, ~$1.89M USDT and 77 ETH) in under one hour. BlockWatchdog identified Bridgers' Ethereum payout contract as the on-chain link connecting the two attack legs to a single attacker.

Approximately $6.34 million (79% of stolen funds) routed through FixedFloat via roughly 50 single-use addresses. Additional 150 ETH moved through ChangeNOW, which froze a six-figure sum after being contacted by Specter Investigations.

BlockWatchdog's analysis published. CoinDesk and other outlets report Bridgers' role as cross-chain relay in the Coinsbuy hack.

Coinsbuy replenished drained wallets to within 0.05% of pre-attack balances; BlockWatchdog interpreted this as evidence the attack exploited a withdrawal system weakness rather than compromised private keys.
