- Ronin ($625M), Wormhole ($320M), Nomad ($190M) — the three largest crypto hacks all targeted bridges - Root cause: most bridges rely on a small validator set or multisig that becomes the single point of failure - Light client verification (ZK proofs of consensus) is the technically sound solution — expensive and slow to build ### The Architecture That Actually Works The node breaks down trusted vs. trustless bridge designs, explains why native bridges (e.g., Arbitrum's canonical bridge) are safer than third-party options, and evaluates where LayerZero and Chainlink CCIP sit on the security spectrum. Not all bridge risk is equal.
