On-Chain Finance

Bridge Risk

German: Bridge-Risiko

The risk concentrated in cross-chain mechanisms, where locked collateral can be drained and the wrapped representation loses its backing; historically among the largest loss categories.

Why people look this up

Readers assessing whether a multi-chain deployment is worth the added attack surface.

Auf Deutsch

Bridge-Risiko Das in chain-übergreifenden Verfahren gebündelte Risiko, bei dem gesperrte Sicherheiten entwendet werden können und die Wrapped-Repräsentation ihre Deckung verliert; historisch eine der größten Verlustkategorien.

Looking for how this maps to its traditional-finance counterpart rather than a standalone definition? See the Term Bridge, which also flags where the obvious analogy is wrong.
