“It’s no secret that the Ethereum blockchain is a highly adversarial environment. If a smart contract can be exploited for profit, it eventually will be. Some very smart people spend a lot of time examining contracts for vulnerabilities. But this unforgiving environment pales in comparison to the mempool. If the chain itself is a battleground, the mempool is something worse: a dark forest. In the Ethereum mempool live the apex predators. You call them “arbitrage bots.”

If you’re just waking up, you might be forgiven for wanting to go straight back to sleep to hibernate till, let’s say 2024. Bitcoin below 25k and Eth testing the previous cycle’s all-time high. Misery loves company and following the unexpectedly painful rise in inflation to 8.6% year-over-year the S&P500, the Dow and the Nasdaq all dropped sharply.

It’s only been a couple weeks since we put out a video covering the hack of Binance’s BNB cross chain bridge and we’re already back with another video on cross-chain bridges. This time though, we’re zeroing in Multichain, the bridging platform with nearly $1.5 billion in total locked. That’s the second-largest bridge after Polygon PoS.
No, Multichain hasn’t just been hacked, but what we ARE seeing is dubious activity on the network that is only fueling more doubt about the vulnerabilities of cross-chain bridges. Defiant reporter Aleks Gilbert broke the news just yesterday so let’s have a little deep dive into Multichain.
