Bifrost Exploited: Hackers Drain ~$720K From Liquidity Pools, Funds Moved to Binance
On August 8, 2026, at 19:47 Beijing time, a hacker exploited a liquidity pool vulnerability in Bifrost and stole approximately $720,000 in assets. The affected pools were the vDOT single-asset pool, the vASTR/ASTR pool, and the vMANTA/MANTA pool. According to Bifrost's monitoring, the stolen assets were initially deposited into HitBTC and later transferred to Binance. Bifrost has contacted Binance's security department to request a freeze on the involved funds. Additionally, Bifrost has submitted a report to law enforcement, along with an on-chain evidence package that includes transaction tracing, wallet addresses, and timestamps. In the wake of the incident, Bifrost has paused all liquidity mining rewards and is conducting a comprehensive security review. The total value of the stolen assets was estimated at roughly $720,000, which is based on Bifrost's monitoring data.
