Don't Burn your Bridges: Protecting Bridges from Most Recent Hacks with Alex Murashkin

ETHDenver 2023 · February 2023 · 18:36

Alex Murashkin examines how cross-chain bridges keep getting exploited and what protocol teams can do to protect against the next hack. At ETHDenver 2023, the security researcher and co-author of academic work reviewing major bridge exploits walks through recurring failure patterns in bridge design. The talk looks at where validation, custody, and message-passing assumptions break down across different bridge architectures. Murashkin argues that learning from past cross-chain hacks is essential to building safer interoperability infrastructure going forward.
