Adshares Bridge Bridge Verification Bypass: $628.00K Reported Loss
Adshares Bridge was exploited on Ethereum around May 15, 2026.
- Reported loss
- $ 628,000
- Attack category
- Bridge Verification Bypass
Incident Overview
The attacker used the bridge-minter EOA to sign three wrapTo() calls with non-existent native-chain transaction IDs on the Adshares canonical chain. This allowed minting large amounts of fake wrapped ADS (wADS: 99,999.93 ×2 + 999,999.94). The fake tokens were then dumped via Uniswap V4 UniversalRouter, draining roughly $628K in ETH and USDC from liquidity pools. Security researchers flagged it quickly, and the project posted an on-chain whitehat message offering a 10% bounty for return of 90% of funds.
