🌉 In Bridges

I’m sure you all saw what happened last week with the large $325 million hack of the Solana Wormhole bridge and how Jump Capital plugged the whole with their own ETH. I’m not going to rehash what happened here, but I did want to point you to a piece I wrote which dives deeper into this if you want to learn more - find that here.

Also don’t forget to check out my interview with MaxInvests where we discussed all things Ethereum and layer 2’s!

Have a great week everyone!
