Lanlege previously worked at Parity Technologies contributing to Parity-Ethereum, Substrate, and Polkadot. Salami, serving as CTO, previously worked at Composable Finance and Commonwealth Lab on Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol research. The project launched on Polkadot mainnet in 2024 and operates as a parachain within the Polkadot ecosystem, using cryptographic proof verification to facilitate asset and data transfers across heterogeneous blockchains without relying on multisig validators. Polytope Labs raised a $2.5 million seed round in September 2024, led by the Polkadot Ecosystem Fund — a joint venture between the Web3 Foundation and Scytale Digital — and an additional $2.8 million via public sale. A subsequent $5.3 million round was reported in April 2025. The team operates with approximately 10 members split between engineering and business functions.","heading":"Background and Project Overview","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Polytope Labs Raises Over $5 Million to Scale Hyperbridge, backed by the Polkadot Ecosystem Fund","type":"news_article","url":"https://techcabal.com/2025/04/17/polytope-labs-raises-over-5-million-to-scale-hyperbridge-backed-by-the-polkadot-ecosystem-fund/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Web3 Foundation and Scytale Lead $2.5 Million Seed Investment in Hyperbridge","type":"news_article","url":"https://coinpaper.com/5356/web3-foundation-and-scytale-lead-2-5-million-seed-investment-in-hyperbridge-to-build-the-end-game-for-blockchain-interoperability-on-polkadot"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Nigeria's Polytope Labs Builds Hyperbridge to End Crypto's Multi-Billion-Dollar Bridge Hack Crisis","type":"news_article","url":"https://techparley.com/nigerias-polytope-labs-builds-hyperbridge-to-end-cryptos-multi-billion-dollar-bridge-hack-crisis/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge - Wikipedia","type":"other","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbridge"}]},{"content":"On April 13, 2026, an attacker exploited a critical vulnerability in the Merkle Mountain Range (MMR) verifier logic embedded in Hyperbridge's Ethereum gateway contract (Token Gateway). According to the protocol's post-mortem, the MMR leaf validation logic failed to check whether submitted leaves fell within valid tree bounds. An attacker submitted two leaves simultaneously: one legitimate leaf and one forged leaf with an out-of-bounds index. The verifier reconstructed the correct Merkle root from the authentic leaf while silently skipping the invalid entry, then returned a success state without detecting the unverified forged input. This flaw allowed the attacker to submit a forged cross-chain message via the dispatchIncoming function, routed to TokenGateway.onAccept. The forged message executed a changeAdmin function, transferring admin rights of the bridged DOT token contract to the attacker's controlled address. With admin control established, the attacker minted approximately 1 billion bridged DOT tokens, nominally valued at approximately $1.19 billion, and routed them through Odos Router V3 into a Uniswap V4 DOT-ETH liquidity pool. Due to shallow liquidity in the bridged DOT pool on Ethereum, the attacker extracted approximately 108.2 ETH, initially valued at roughly $237,000. The attack unfolded in two documented phases: an initial smaller extraction of approximately 245 ETH from Token Gateway preceded the main minting event by approximately one hour.","heading":"April 2026 Exploit: MMR Proof Verification Flaw","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Post-Mortem: Hyperbridge MMR Verifier Exploit, April 13, 2026 (Hyperbridge official blog)","type":"official","url":"https://blog.hyperbridge.network/april-13-post-mortem/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Attacker mints $1 billion Polkadot tokens on Ethereum, steals just $250,000 (CoinDesk)","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/04/13/attacker-mints-usd1-billion-polkadot-tokens-on-ethereum-ends-up-stealing-just-usd250-000"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Polkadot Confirms Exploit on Hyperbridge's Ethereum Gateway Contract (The Defiant)","type":"news_article","url":"https://thedefiant.io/news/hacks/polkadot-hyperbridge-ethereum-gateway-exploit-sjb0ql"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Flaw Hits Polkadot's DOT on Ethereum (Etherworld)","type":"news_article","url":"https://etherworld.co/hyperbridge-flaw-hits-polkadots-dot-on-ethereum/"}]},{"content":"Initial reporting on April 13, 2026 placed total losses at approximately $237,000, reflecting only the ETH extracted via the Ethereum liquidity pool dump. On April 16, 2026, Hyperbridge revised its total realized losses to approximately $2.5 million — roughly ten times the original estimate. The revised figure incorporated broader losses from DeFi incentive pools associated with the protocol, deployed across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB Chain. This revision resulted from a multi-chain forensic audit conducted in the three days following the incident. The core Polkadot network, native DOT holdings, and DOT bridged through other bridge protocols were explicitly stated to be unaffected. Hyperbridge confirmed that the exploit was contained to the Token Gateway contract and its associated incentive infrastructure on EVM chains.","heading":"Revised Loss Assessment: $2.5 Million Across Four EVM Chains","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Hyperbridge Confirms Bridged Polkadot Exploit Was 10x Worse Than First Reported (Yahoo Finance / CoinDesk)","type":"news_article","url":"https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/hyperbridge-confirms-bridged-polkadot-exploit-053634639.html"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Polkadot Based Hyperbridge Revises Exploit Losses to $2.5M (BeInCrypto)","type":"news_article","url":"https://beincrypto.com/hyperbridge-exploit-losses-revised-25m/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Raises Exploit Loss Estimate to $2.5M From $237K (Crypto Times)","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/04/16/hyperbridge-raises-exploit-loss-estimate-to-2-5m-from-237k/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Polkadot-Ethereum Bridge Hack Losses Were 10x Worse Than Reported, Team Admits (Yahoo Finance)","type":"news_article","url":"https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/polkadot-ethereum-bridge-hack-losses-152822623.html"}]},{"content":"Following detection of the exploit on April 13, 2026, Hyperbridge paused all gateway infrastructure within hours. An emergency fix adding bounds validation to the MMR leaf verification logic was deployed within 72 hours, by approximately April 16, 2026. On April 21, 2026, Hyperbridge disclosed its findings to Parity Technologies regarding identical upstream library vulnerabilities identified during internal audit. By May 11, 2026, an audited version of the patched code was released and redeployment began. An independent security audit conducted by Security Research Labs (SRLabs) identified 14 total vulnerabilities: 1 critical, 3 high, 5 medium, 4 low, and 1 informational. Hyperbridge additionally launched a bug bounty program on HackenProof in May 2026 offering up to $50,000 for critical vulnerability disclosures, with rewards ranging from $200 for low-severity to $50,000 for critical findings. The team reported distributing over $150,000 to more than 20 security researchers via HackenProof within the first week of the program. Regarding stolen funds, Hyperbridge confirmed that a significant portion of the exploited assets were traced on-chain to a Binance deposit address. The team disclosed active coordination with Binance's compliance department and relevant law enforcement agencies to support asset freezing and potential recovery. The team committed to a compensation mechanism: if on-chain recovery efforts prove insufficient by April 13, 2027 (one year post-exploit), affected users will receive BRIDGE token allocations to cover residual losses.","heading":"Incident Response and Recovery Efforts","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Update on Recovery Efforts and Next Steps (Hyperbridge official blog)","type":"official","url":"https://blog.hyperbridge.network/recovery-and-next-steps/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge revises exploit losses to $2.5M, traces funds to Binance (AMBCrypto)","type":"news_article","url":"https://ambcrypto.com/hyperbridge-revises-exploit-losses-to-2-5m-traces-funds-to-binance/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Offers $50,000 for Critical Vulnerabilities (Crypto Times)","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/05/15/hyperbridge-offers-50000-for-critical-vulnerabilities/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge launches $50K bug bounty after bridge exploit (Crypto.news)","type":"news_article","url":"https://crypto.news/hyperbridge-launches-50k-bug-bounty-after-bridge-exploit/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Revises Hack Losses to $2.5 Million, Plans Compensation (Phemex)","type":"news_article","url":"https://phemex.com/news/article/hyperbridge-revises-hack-losses-to-25-million-plans-compensation-73722"}]},{"content":"Rather than applying incremental patches to the exploited components, Polytope Labs elected to rebuild the protocol's core architecture. The relaunch, announced in June 2026, introduced several structural changes. The shared Token Gateway model was replaced with a Hyperfungible Token standard, under which each bridged asset operates as an independent application controlled by its own issuer, with individual contracts, pause keys, and rate-limiting logic. This eliminates the single-point-of-failure risk present in the shared gateway model exploited in April. Proof generation was decentralized: previously, only the Polytope Labs team generated and submitted zero-knowledge proofs for Polkadot consensus verification on EVM chains. The rebuilt system allows any operator to run the SP1 prover tool and submit proofs, earning rewards distributed by timing and accuracy. Governance was restructured by eliminating the sudo governance pallet that previously allowed the core team to make emergency unilateral network changes. Protocol upgrades now require token-holder voting, and treasury disbursements require public governance authorization. Block production was shifted from team-assigned validators to a permissionless election system based on reputation earned by provers and relayers. The two-part relayer system was consolidated into a single HandlerV2 component that processes messages and proof verification simultaneously. A LayerZero-compatible adapter (HyperbridgeLzEndpoint) was introduced, allowing applications to migrate from multisig-based verification to cryptographic proof security by modifying a single configuration parameter. The commercial model shifted from pay-as-you-go to prepaid monthly bandwidth subscriptions ranging from $50 to $1,000 payable in stablecoins.","heading":"June 2026 Relaunch: Full Architectural Rebuild","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Didn't Patch Its $2.5M Hack — It Rebuilt Everything (Crypto Times)","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/06/16/hyperbridge-didnt-patch-its-2-5m-hack-it-rebuilt-everything/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Relaunches With Decentralized Upgrades Following April Hack (Crypto Economy)","type":"news_article","url":"https://crypto-economy.com/hyperbridge-relaunches-with-decentralized-upgrades-following-april-hack/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge relaunches as 'Interoperability Hyperstructure' with new OFT adapter after $2.5M exploit (Technext)","type":"news_article","url":"https://technext24.com/2026/06/16/hyperbridge-relaunches-as-hyperstructure/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Relaunches After $2.5M Exploit (Innovation Village)","type":"news_article","url":"https://innovation-village.com/hyperbridge-relaunches-after-2-5m-exploit/"}]},{"content":"The April 2026 exploit represents the only major security incident in Hyperbridge's operational history. The vulnerability resided specifically in the Solidity-based MMR verifier used by the Ethereum gateway, not in the Polkadot parachain itself or the zero-knowledge proof generation pipeline. The post-mortem identified the root cause as missing bounds validation on MMR leaf indices — a logic flaw in proof verification rather than a cryptographic break. The independent SRLabs audit, commissioned after the exploit, identified 14 vulnerabilities of varying severity across the codebase, suggesting that the April 2026 incident may reflect broader pre-existing code quality concerns beyond the single disclosed flaw. Identical bugs were identified in two upstream ecosystem libraries, for which Hyperbridge filed disclosure with Parity Technologies. Prior to the April 2026 incident, Hyperbridge had not experienced a reported exploit since launching on Polkadot mainnet in 2024. The protocol's security model — relying on verifiable cryptographic proofs rather than multisig trust — was positioned as an improvement over prior bridge architectures that suffered major exploits (e.g., Ronin, Wormhole). The April 2026 incident demonstrated that implementation-level bugs in proof verification code can undermine architecturally sound designs.","heading":"Smart Contract Security Track Record","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Post-Mortem: Hyperbridge MMR Verifier Exploit, April 13, 2026 (Hyperbridge official blog)","type":"official","url":"https://blog.hyperbridge.network/april-13-post-mortem/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Bridge Security After the Hyperbridge Exploit: Mint Controls, Liquidity Limits, and Incident Response (Autheo Blog)","type":"research","url":"https://www.autheo.com/blog/bridge-security-lessons-hyperbridge-exploit-2026"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Protocol: Program Info (HackenProof)","type":"official","url":"https://hackenproof.com/programs/hyperbridge-protocol"}]},{"content":"The Hyperbridge exploit occurred against a backdrop of continued vulnerability in cross-chain bridge infrastructure. Industry data cited in June 2026 reporting placed total bridge exploit losses at approximately $328 million for 2026 alone, consistent with patterns from prior years in which bridges have represented a disproportionate share of total crypto losses. Polkadot's Hyperbridge was specifically positioned as a more secure alternative to multisig-based bridges, making the incident notable given the protocol's claimed security model. The exploit did not affect Polkadot's core network or the DOT token itself, but the incident contributed to broader scrutiny of Polkadot's ecosystem health. A May 2026 report from The Defiant titled 'Polkadot Is Kind of Done' cited falling usage and controversy within the ecosystem, providing context for the environment in which Hyperbridge is attempting its relaunch.","heading":"Broader Ecosystem Context","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Hyperbridge Relaunches After $2.5M Exploit (Innovation Village)","type":"news_article","url":"https://innovation-village.com/hyperbridge-relaunches-after-2-5m-exploit/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"'Polkadot Is Kind of Done.'
