According to Blockaid, AFX, a decentralized perpetual exchange operating on Arbitrum, reportedly lost $24.15 million on Wednesday through a hack targeting one of its cross-chain bridges.
“We’re aware of a report of a bridge hack on Arbitrum and are investigating. We can confirm that the transaction in question originated from a third-party protocol, and the Arbitrum native bridge has not been hacked or exploited in any way,” Goldfeder said in a post on X.
SunSec, founder of the Web3 security community DeFiHackLabs and a contributor to SEAL, said the evidence suggested compromised keys, rather than a smart contract logic bug, were responsible for the exploit.

Real-world asset perpetuals are the biggest reason behind the growth in Hyperliquid. As of now, daily open interest stands at $3.61 billion under HIP-3, the framework live since October 13, 2025, that lets anyone stake 500,000 HYPE and deploy a perp market without approval from the core team.
