Hackers have sent DeFi under threat as they have already stolen 2.5billion dollars on bridges that are cross- chain, and these attacks will continue defying DeFi in 2023 as per experts.

Security of their services has been a huge challenge for almost all the cross-chain bridges all over the year and hackers breaking into them have produced severe threats on DeFi and the evolutionary process of it as well.

The data from the token terminal has shown that over the last couple of years since 2020, hackers have stolen, a subsequent amount from different bridges. This amount rounds up to 2.5 billion dollars approximately. So, you can guess how severe of a problem is in front of DeFi evolution.

DeFi Under Threat Because Of Hackers Targeting Cross-Chain Bridges:

As per our research, the issues with bridges causing the threat to decentralized finance have a main reason for all these happening. These bridges apparently has some vulnerability that is inherent. Toposware’s founder CEO, Gautiher has spoken with Cointelegraph where he has addressed the problem saying that no matter how hard they try to secure the decentralized finance accounts, it always rely on a security of different chains that connects with it. That clearly means that a bug or a single breach within a couplr of bridge chains can expose the complete system to vulnerability.

In short, the purpose of the bridges is to connect a range of blockchains and it aims to admit the lack of different standards between the protocols. The interoperability between DeFi blockchains are taken as an important goal for increasing the user experience and promoting an enhanced the crypto adaptation.

To build a strong defense against it we suggests you to use a flag that finds some potentially suspicious types in the activity with some advanced monitoring of security. This might help the DeFi bridges to detect any attacks before the occurance of that.
