World Mobile Token (WMTx) — SingularityNET Bridge Key Compromise
Auto-generated score, not yet verified against the scoring model. Under review — treat as indicative, not a verdict.
anchored·5s5Jaf…D6tWSummary
World Mobile Token (WMTx) was among several projects victimized by a signing-key compromise of the SingularityNET Ethereum-Cardano bridge in September 2026, which enabled an attacker to mint approximately 53.8 million unauthorized WMTx tokens on Ethereum. World Mobile Chain is a victim of the exploit, not its perpetrator; the project responded by deprecating the old Ethereum contract and migrating eligible holders to a new Base chain deployment. The score reflects the material harm to token holders, the severity of the infrastructure failure, and unresolved questions about the full recovery timeline, while recognizing that the root cause lay in SingularityNET's bridge operations rather than in World Mobile Chain's own systems.
