Decentralized bridge that unlocks the power of interoperability
Gravity Bridge is a decentralized Cosmos blockchain whose primary purpose is to secure the operation of bridges between blockchains. Ethereum and EVM-compatible tokens can be transferred across the Gravity Bridge to a Cosmos wallet, and then to other Cosmos wallets or DEXs, such as Osmosis or Gravity DEX.
According to on-chain security firm CertiK (@CertiKAlert), the Gravity Bridge attacker recently deposited another 1,180 ETH (approximately $2.06 million) into Tornado Cash. Earlier, on May 30, the attacker exploited the permissionless deployERC20() function by forging the Osmosis token string, tampering with the token registry, and mapping fake balances to real custodial assets—thereby stealing approximately 2,600 ETH (around $5.4 million) from Gravity Bridge. To date, 2,020 ETH of the stolen funds have been transferred to Tornado Cash via two externally owned accounts (EOAs); the remainder has been dispersed across centralized exchanges, making fund recovery significantly challenging.
according to Specter, in collaboration with ChangeNOW, $91,000 of the funds stolen from Gravity Bridge have been frozen. The attacker still holds the majority of the funds, which have not yet been transferred.Previously, it was reported that the private key for Gravity Bridge's bridging contract was leaked, leading to the theft of $5.4 million in assets. The assets extracted by the attacker include: $4.3 million in USDC, 274 WETH (worth approximately $553,000), $434,000 in USDT, and $64,000 in PAYG. The involved addresses are 0x7B58...1F9 and 0x4d3c...A47.
The Cosmos ecosystem’s cross-chain bridge Gravity Bridge was reportedly attacked due to a leaked signature key, resulting in approximately $5.4 million in stolen assets. The official team has confirmed the security incident and has urgently suspended bridging services to conduct an investigation. Validators have also been instructed to halt their validator nodes and coordinators. It is reported that the bridge’s contract keys may have been compromised.
On-chain monitoring shows that the cross-chain bridge Gravity Bridge may have suffered a security incident due to a smart contract private key leak, affecting assets including USDC, WETH, and USDT, with total losses amounting to approximately $5.4 million.
