SlowMist researchers reported that the Nomad cross-chain protocol suffered a hacker attack, which resulted in the attackers withdrawing nearly $90 million worth of crypto assets.
Using the MistTrack platform, analysts tracked the movement of funds to up to three Ethereum addresses. Most stolen assets are WBTC and stablecoin USDC.
Nomad representatives confirmed information about the incident and reassured users that they understood what had happened.
The Nomad protocol uses “evidence of fraud” such as Optimistic Aggregation. The technology eliminates the need for multiple signatures, validators, and oracles.
In April, Nomad cross-chain bridge developers raised $22 million in a seed round led by Polychain Capital.
