Across Reveals Sub-$4 Million Net Loss From Solana Relayer Exploit

An attacker exploited a missing eight-byte check in Across Protocol's offchain code to fabricate $41.7 million in Solana deposit events, draining approximately $4 million from a Risk Labs-operated relayer on July 17, 2026. The attack was part of a broader wave of cross-chain bridge exploits that drained over $35 million across multiple protocols within hours.

Top claims

  • ▪The Risk Labs relayer filled 581 of the fraudulent requests, advancing approximately $4.5 million of its own capital before Across suspended Solana operations.
  • ▪The vulnerability was caused by a missing verification of the 8-byte Anchor event discriminator in the SvmCpiEventsClient component of the Risk Labs off-chain relayer code.
  • ▪The Across Protocol exploit did not compromise the Solana network, the protocol's smart contracts, or user funds.
