Aethir prevents cross-chain bridge exploit attacks, losses controlled at $90k, and commits to compensate

ATH-5,29%
ETH4,37%
BNB1,71%
TRX0,91%

Gate News message. On April 10, decentralized GPU cloud computing infrastructure platform Aethir confirmed that its Ethereum-related bridging contracts were attacked. The team promptly disconnected the affected contracts and, together with major exchanges, placed the hacker’s wallet on a blacklist, keeping losses within $90k. Previously, blockchain security company PeckShield estimated the losses at $400k. The attacker used Aethir’s cross-chain smart contract AethirOFTAdapter to move the stolen funds from BNB Chain to Tron. Aethir said that its Ethereum mainnet ATH token supply was not affected. It plans to publish a detailed compensation plan and incident analysis next week, and to work with some exchanges and others to freeze funds. Web3 security platform ZeroShadow is involved in the investigation. It is reported that in 2025, Aethir achieved revenue of $127.8 million and deployed more than 440k GPU containers worldwide.
