RUNEDecentralized Liquidity Network
News Heat Trend
Project Overview
THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain AMM trading protocol, created by a group of anonymous cryptocurrency developers at Binance's Hackathon in 2018. Its aim is to decentralize cryptocurrency liquidity via a network of public THORNodes and ecosystem products. Access to its native and cross-chain liquidity is open to any person, product, or institution.
Hacker Deposits 229.72 ETH, Valued at $445,000, from Coldcard Attack Involving Approximately 30 BTC into Duel.comcasino
Odaily News: According to monitoring by Galaxy's Head of Research, a victim's Coldcard wallet was compromised in a hacker attack involving nearly 30 BTC, of which 17 BTC were swapped for ETH via THORChain and subsequently deposited into Duel.comcasino. The victim and a researcher have sent emails to all known addresses associated with Duel.comcasino, requesting that the relevant funds be frozen, and provided all transaction and deposit information. The hacker deposited 229.72497255 ETH, valued at $445,000, into Duel.comcasino—funds originating from the Coldcard attack involving approximately 30 BTC. The victim stated that Duel.comcasino responded by saying that the police would need to contact their team. Duel.comcasino's anti-money laundering policy claims it enforces Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and complies with all applicable laws. Duel.comcasino was notified within minutes of the deposit being completed. To date, Duel.comcasino has not frozen the relevant funds. Since most of the Western world had already passed midnight at the time of the incident, police reports cannot be filed until at least Monday. If Duel.comcasino fails to freeze the funds, the victim will pursue legal action against them. Duel.comcasino's X account has been suspended, and Galaxy's Head of Research has also flagged individuals on X suspected of being associated with the platform, including team members and dealers: @korraflow, @atrois7, @MiaMalkova.
THORChain Resumes Trading After $10.7 Million Attack
Odaily, the decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain has resumed trading after being down for over five weeks following a May attack. Signing, swapping, liquidity provider operations, and redemptions have all been restored.On May 15, blockchain investigator ZachXBT and security firm PeckShield identified that the protocol had likely been exploited, prompting THORChain to halt trading. The vulnerability resulted in a loss of approximately $10.7 million from one of its six Asgard vaults, while the other five vaults were unaffected.THORChain stated that each vault has now been verified, and every key share has been cross-checked. Native Monero swaps are currently undergoing end-to-end testing and will be launched subsequently. (The Block)
THORChain Releases Security Incident Update: Losses to Be Absorbed Through Protocol-Owned Liquidity, Attacker Node Fully Slashed
THORChain has released its fourth update regarding the Asgard vault intrusion incident, publishing the ADR028 proposal and opening voting for node operators. The proposal indicates that the protocol will first absorb losses through its Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL), with the remaining portion to be borne by synthetic asset holders. The exact proportion is still under evaluation. The POL will be reduced to zero as a result, and the proposal suggests allocating a portion of system revenue over time to gradually replenish it. This plan does not involve minting new RUNE, selling RUNE, or diluting holder equity.On the technical side, the GG20 version will be temporarily retained with a patch upgrade. Trading will resume after the vulnerability is fixed and a successful node rotation is completed. A slower, more security-focused release cadence is planned for the future.Regarding the slashing mechanism, unrelated nodes sharing the same vault as the attacker will be protected, while the attacker's node will be fully slashed. The recovered RUNE will be paired with recoverable assets from the affected vault, and any excess RUNE will be burned.Additionally, THORChain has offered a white-hat bounty to the attacker to recover funds. If a portion of the funds is recovered, the recovery plan will be adjusted proportionally. THORChain emphasizes its commitment to remaining neutral and permissionless, stating it will not censor the attacker's swap transactions after trading resumes.Currently, node operators are voting on the overall direction and principles of the proposal. The specific figures in the ADR are indicative and will be adjusted later via the Mimir mechanism. The goal is to restart the network as soon as possible. A "yes" vote means developers can proceed further along this path.
THORChain: No Refund, Airdrop, or Compensation Plan Has Been Initiated; Community Warned to Beware of Scams
Odaily News: THORChain officially stated that a large number of fake accounts and false information have been spotted on the market, involving activities such as "refunds," "airdrops," and "compensation." Preliminary investigations indicate that user funds were not compromised in the previous security incident. No refund, airdrop, or compensation plan has been initiated. Any accounts claiming otherwise are imposters or are disseminating false information. Further investigation progress and additional details will be announced subsequently.
THORChain: Network Paused Due to Security Incident, Suspected Single Malicious Node Exploiting GG20 TSS Vulnerability to Steal Funds
Odaily Odaily, THORChain posted on platform X that its developers have released an incident update on Discord. Current evidence points to a node thor16uc...cn84q, which recently joined the network, as being associated with the attack. This node is operated by a single malicious actor. The primary hypothesis is that the attacker exploited a vulnerability in the GG20 TSS implementation, causing sensitive key material of vault participants to leak over time. This ultimately enabled the reconstruction of the vault's private key and the execution of unauthorized outgoing transactions.Regarding network status, the network has been paused after multiple node operators executed `make pause`. RUNE transfers and on-chain observation may resume within approximately 12 hours, but transactions, LP operations, signing, and other sensitive operations remain paused.Discussed recovery plans include slashing the affected node's bond, covering losses with protocol-owned liquidity (POL), or other community-driven solutions. THORSec and Outrider Analytics are continuing their investigation. The Treasury is gathering forensic data and coordinating with relevant law enforcement agencies. Full functional recovery is expected to take several days or longer.
THORChain: Asgard Vault Breach Results in Approximately $10.7 Million Loss; User Cross-Chain Transactions Unaffected for Now
According to Odaily, THORChain has issued an emergency announcement stating that after discovering a suspected breach of an Asgard vault, the network has suspended trading operations to respond to the security incident. Preliminary information indicates that user funds remain unaffected, with losses primarily concentrated on the protocol's own capital.The official statement noted that the system automatically detected anomalous behavior and halted signing operations, thereby alerting the community and preventing further asset outflow. The investigation is currently ongoing to determine the root cause of the vulnerability and the full scope of the impact.Known information indicates that this incident involves one of the six Asgard vaults, with estimated losses of approximately $10.7 million. Meanwhile, staked RUNE on the affected nodes has been slashed due to a penalty mechanism triggered by unauthorized outgoing transactions. The network has paused churn operations and delayed the launch of new chains and related features until system stability is restored.THORChain stated that no user cross-chain transactions have been affected so far and has requested node operators to thoroughly inspect their infrastructure, secure key management, and anomalous behavior, and to submit relevant logs to assist the investigation.
CertiK：与 Coldcard Wallet 攻击相关资金经 THORChain 跨链后转入 Tornado Cash
CertiK 表示，其监测系统发现两笔各 200 ETH 的交易转入 Tornado Cash，相关资金与正在进行的 Coldcard Wallet 攻击事件有关。上述资金此前通过 THORChain 由 BTC 跨链转入以太坊地址，随后再被转入 Tornado Cash。
hinkal will fully compensate user funds, confirming approximately 797,000 USDC was extracted by an attacker and swapped for 454 ETH
decentralized privacy protocol hinkal has released an update on a security incident, confirming that an attacker extracted approximately 797,000 USDC from its Ethereum contract through a series of transactions and exchanged it for about 454 ETH. Of this, roughly 410 ETH was subsequently transferred to Tornado Cash, while the remaining approximately 44.67 ETH was bridged to the Bitcoin network via THORChain. hinkal is currently collaborating with an external security team to trace the flow of funds.hinkal stated that the impact of this security incident is limited to the relevant fund pools on the Ethereum chain, and contracts on other chains remain unaffected. However, all contracts have been temporarily suspended for fixes and security verification. All affected users will be fully compensated at a 1:1 ratio, with specific compensation procedures and timelines to be announced in a subsequent update.
Specter：THORChain shutdown over a month raises questions, with almost no transactions on the entire chain
on-chain security researcher Specter posted on X, stating that THORChain has not resumed normal operations for over a month after suspending all transactions due to a security vulnerability incident. The protocol previously did not choose to suspend transactions during other security incidents or suspicious fund flows; it even continued operating simple ETH-BTC paths. However, after becoming the affected party this time, it completely halted cross-chain transactions, sparking community discussion about the consistency of its risk management. Currently, THORChain on-chain trading remains completely stagnant, with almost no transactions on the entire chain. The recovery timeline remains unclear, and Specter reminds community users to "stay alert."
Chainalysis Tracks THORChain Attack Source: Proficient Money Laundering Skills, Cross-Chain Fund Transfer Weeks Before Attack
Odaily Chainalysis posted on X platform, stating that prior to the THORChain theft, wallets suspected to be linked to the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several consecutive weeks. As early as late April, the attacker-associated wallets deposited funds into Hyperliquid positions via Hyperliquid and the Monero privacy bridge. These funds were subsequently converted to USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, then bridged to Ethereum. Some of the ETH was then moved to THORChain to stake as RUNE for a newly joined node, which is believed to be the source of the attack.Subsequently, the attacker bridged a portion of the RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four chains. One chain went directly to the attacker, passing through intermediate wallets before transferring 8 ETH to the wallet that would ultimately receive the stolen funds, just 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three chains flowed in reverse. Between May 14 and 15, these wallets bridged the ETH back to Arbitrum again, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero via the same privacy bridge, with the final transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack commenced. As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds remain untouched, but the attacker has demonstrated sophisticated cross-chain money laundering capabilities. The Hyperliquid to Monero path may be the next move.

$282 Million in Bitcoin and Litecoin Stolen in Trezor Impersonation Support Scam
Odaily News, January 10 - A Bitcoin and Litecoin holder provided a 12-word recovery phrase to attackers impersonating Trezor support personnel, resulting in the theft of approximately $282 million in assets, including about $139 million in Bitcoin and $153 million in Litecoin. Blockchain forensics firm ZeroShadow stated that the incident stemmed from a social engineering attack, not a compromise of wallet software or private key infrastructure. The stolen funds were split via the THORChain cross-chain bridge within minutes and converted into Monero through instant exchange services. ZeroShadow's monitoring team flagged and froze approximately $700,000 in funds within 20 minutes. Under the BIP39 standard, a 12-word recovery phrase contains approximately 128 bits of entropy, while a 24-word phrase contains 256 bits of entropy. Chainalysis estimates that up to 23% of all mined Bitcoin is permanently inaccessible due to lost keys, involving millions of BTC, with causes including forgotten recovery phrases, damaged backups, and a lack of inheritance planning.
