Key Points

This research applies the Void Framework to analyze cross-chain bridge infrastructure and associated risks.
Utilized the Void Framework for evaluation of cross-chain infrastructures.
Developed a bridge exploit database including Ronin, Wormhole, and BNB.
Created a taxonomy based on trust models from trusted multisigs to ZK light-client bridges.
Calculated Void scoring to predict exploit probability.
Identified vulnerabilities in cross-chain infrastructure via the Void Framework.
Compiled a bridge exploit database listing significant breaches and amounts.
Established a trust model taxonomy that categorizes different bridge security approaches.

Implication

Void scoring predicts exploit risks in cross-chain infrastructure, suggesting improvement in bridge security.

Abstract

Applies the Void Framework to cross-chain bridge infrastructure. Bridge exploit database: Ronin ($625M), Wormhole ($320M), BNB ($570M). Trust model taxonomy from trusted multisigs to ZK light-client bridges. Void scoring predicts exploit probability.
