The Bridge Burns: Void Architecture in Cross-Chain Infrastructure

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.
