忘记了你的加密货币？数百万人被困在废弃的桥梁合同中

区块链情报公司 Arkham 透露，数百万美元被困在或被遗忘在过桥合约中，而著名的钱包（例如与 Vitalik Buterin 和 Coinbase 相关的钱包）则有大量资金无人认领。尽管这些桥在以太坊等模块化区块链网络中很重要，但由于它们在智能合约和集中式验证器集中存在漏洞，它们已成为黑客的目标，正如价值 6.5 亿美元的 Ronin 桥黑客事件中所见。

Millions of Dollars Trapped in Crypto Bridges: A Forgotten Fortune

数百万美元被困在加密桥中：一笔被遗忘的财富

Blockchain intelligence firm Arkham has uncovered a startling revelation: millions of dollars in cryptocurrency are languishing in two major bridge contracts, abandoned and forgotten.

区块链情报公司 Arkham 发现了一个令人震惊的消息：价值数百万美元的加密货币正在两份主要的桥梁合同中被遗弃和遗忘。

"Numerous accounts with substantial funds, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, remain stuck in bridge contracts, seemingly neglected," declared Arkham in an April 22 report. The affected accounts include wallets linked to prominent figures in the crypto space, such as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, and several renowned DeFi investors.

阿卡姆在 4 月 22 日的一份报告中宣称：“许多拥有大量资金（从数十万美元到数百万美元）的账户仍然被困在过桥合约中，似乎被忽视了。”受影响的账户包括与加密领域知名人物相关的钱包，例如以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin、加密货币交易所 Coinbase 以及几位著名的 DeFi 投资者。

Arkham's claims are supported by compelling evidence. The firm has released screenshots documenting fund transfers to and from the Arbitrum and Optimism bridges, highlighting the stranded assets.

阿卡姆的说法有令人信服的证据支持。该公司发布了记录 Arbitrum 和 Optimism 桥之间的资金转账的屏幕截图，突出显示了搁浅的资产。

One wallet, allegedly connected to Buterin, has been holding 50 Ether (ETH) in the Optimism bridge for the past seven months, amounting to a staggering $1.05 million. While this sum represents a relatively small fraction of Buterin's vast cryptocurrency portfolio, estimated at $789 million, it nevertheless raises questions about the fate of these forgotten funds.

据称与 Buterin 连接的一个钱包在过去 7 个月里一直在 Optimism 桥上持有 50 个以太币 (ETH)，金额达到惊人的 105 万美元。尽管这笔金额仅占 Buterin 庞大的加密货币投资组合（估计为 7.89 亿美元）的一小部分，但它仍然引发了人们对这些被遗忘的资金的命运的疑问。

Another wallet tied to Bofur Capital, which shares its name with a Celsius creditor, contains $1.8 million worth of wrapped-Bitcoin (WBTC) trapped in the Arbitrum bridge for an extended period of 27 months. Similarly, Thomasg.eth, the anonymous founder of the decentralized air transportation solution Arrow, has $800,000 in Ether stuck in the same bridge.

另一个与 Bofur Capital 相关的钱包（该公司与一家摄氏度债权人同名）包含价值 180 万美元的包装比特币 (WBTC)，这些比特币被困在 Arbitrum 桥中长达 27 个月。同样，去中心化航空运输解决方案 Arrow 的匿名创始人 Thomasg.eth 在同一座桥上滞留了 80 万美元的以太币。

Moreover, Coinbase attempted to transfer $75,000 in USD Coin (USDC) to Ethereum via the Optimism bridge six months ago, but the funds remain unclaimed on Ethereum's base layer.

此外，六个月前，Coinbase 试图通过 Optimism 桥将 75,000 美元的美元硬币 (USDC) 转移到以太坊，但这些资金在以太坊基础层仍然无人认领。

While it remains possible that the owners of these wallets still retain control of their funds and have deliberately left them there, the reasons for their inaction are unclear.

尽管这些钱包的所有者仍然有可能保留对其资金的控制权并故意将其留在那里，但他们不采取行动的原因尚不清楚。

Cross-chain bridges serve a critical function in modular blockchain networks like Ethereum. They enhance data availability and security on the base layer by offloading transaction processing to layer 2 solutions. However, bridges have emerged as a tempting target for malicious actors. Their reliance on automated smart contracts or centralized validator sets can create potential security vulnerabilities.

跨链桥在以太坊等模块化区块链网络中发挥着关键作用。它们通过将事务处理卸载到第 2 层解决方案来增强基础层的数据可用性和安全性。然而，桥梁已成为恶意行为者的诱人目标。他们对自动化智能合约或集中式验证器集的依赖可能会产生潜在的安全漏洞。

A prime example of this vulnerability is the notorious $650 million Ronin bridge hack perpetrated by North Korea's state-backed Lazarus Group. The attackers exploited access to five of the nine private keys held by transaction validators, compromising the bridge's security.

此漏洞的一个典型例子是朝鲜国家支持的 Lazarus 集团实施的臭名昭著的价值 6.5 亿美元的 Ronin 桥黑客攻击。攻击者利用了对交易验证器持有的九个私钥中的五个的访问权限，从而损害了桥的安全性。

The abandonment of millions of dollars in bridge contracts highlights the importance of responsible crypto management. Users should exercise due diligence when interacting with bridges, ensuring that transactions are completed successfully and their funds are safeguarded. The incident also underscores the need for robust security measures and continuous monitoring to mitigate the risk of hacks and protect the integrity of blockchain ecosystems.

放弃数百万美元的过桥合约凸显了负责任的加密货币管理的重要性。用户在与网桥交互时应进行尽职调查，确保交易成功完成并保护其资金安全。该事件还强调需要采取强有力的安全措施和持续监控，以降低黑客攻击的风险并保护区块链生态系统的完整性。
