DeFi sector hit by another security incident. On-chain detective ZachXBT reported that cross-chain liquidity protocol Thorchain was attacked earlier today (15th), with $10.8 million stolen. To prevent further outflow of funds, the Thorchain team has urgently paused all trading and signing operations. RUNE Price Plunges in Response According to Arkham Intelligence tracking data, the hacker's wallet currently holds 3,443 ETH (approximately $7.77 million), 36.85 BTC (approximately $2.97 million), and 96.6 BNB (approximately $66,000). Upon the news, panic quickly spread through the market. Thorchain's native token RUNE plummeted in response, with losses reaching as deep as 12% at one point, trading at $0.5146 at the time of writing. Emergency Stop! Network-Wide Nodes Halted for Nearly 13 Hours To contain the damage, Thorchain decisively activated trading-pause and signing-pause protective mechanisms through its governance module called "Mimir." Starting from block height 26190429, the entire network's nodes were forced into a shutdown lasting 12 hours and 42 minutes, buying time to thoroughly investigate the vulnerability and patch the system. Thorchain is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol that allows users to directly trade native assets (such as exchanging Bitcoin directly for Ethereum) between different blockchains, without needing to "Wrap" assets at any point during the process, and without relying on centralized cross-chain bridges or intermediary institutions. Cross-Chain Bridges Become ATMs? DeFi's Biggest Achilles Heel However, this kind of technology pursuing ultimate interoperability has always been accompanied by extremely high security risks. According to statistics from on-chain data company Chainalysis, within the DeFi sector, "cross-chain protocols" and "liquidity pools" have always been the fattest sheep that hackers love to target. Since 2021, the cumulative amount stolen related to cross-chain bridges has reached as high as $2.8 billion. As of now, Thorchain officials have not yet released a formal "Post-mortem" report, and exactly what attack method the hacker used to breach the defenses still remains to be further clarified.
