A token bridge exploit is a security breach targeting a token bridge, which is a protocol enabling the transfer of digital assets between different blockchain networks. This exploit typically involves manipulating the bridge’s smart contracts or validation mechanisms to mint unauthorized tokens or steal locked assets. Such attacks compromise cross-chain interoperability and can result in substantial financial losses. They pose a significant threat to the interconnected digital asset ecosystem.
