Allbridge Core Pauses Protocol After $1.65M Flash Loan Exploit on Sunday

SOL2.52%
KMNO3.06%
ETH2.25%

According to Onchain Lens, Allbridge Core paused its cross-chain bridge protocol on Sunday (July 20) following a $1.65 million flash loan exploit. The attacker used a $1.12 million flash loan from Solana-based Kamino protocol to manipulate the bridge's stablecoin liquidity pool ratios by rapidly swapping USDC for USDT, then withdrew funds at favorable rates.

Security firms PeckShield and CertiK confirmed the stolen assets were bridged from Solana to Ethereum. Allbridge urged users to withdraw liquidity from affected pools and called on arbitrage traders who profited from the temporary pool imbalance to return funds for LP compensation.
