Peckshield tracked 8 major bridge hacks in 2026 totaling $328.6M. From KelpDAO's $300M Layerzero breach to the Verus bridge drain, cross-chain security is in crisis.

The shift comes after the Kelp DAO exploit drained $292 million from its LayerZero-powered bridge, increasing concerns over cross-chain infrastructure.

Security firms have flagged a live exploit targeting the Verus-Ethereum bridge, with losses already reaching approximately $11.6 million.
