Wasabi Protocol says it suffered a cross-chain hack worth more than $5M. The incident targeted multiple networks, including Ethereum, Base, Berachain, and Blast, according to the CoinDesk feed (as mirrored at en.coinotag.com).
The reported attacker drained Wasabi Protocol’s LongPool and ShortPool using an admin key. That key access is the core allegation in the source text, and it explains how funds could move without a typical user-triggered bridge flow.
The breach also involved bridged assets. The source specifically mentions WETH and PEPE being bridged during the attack, linking the pool drainage to movement of token balances across chains.
CoinDesk’s snippet further mentions “600M$ loss” but the provided text does not clarify how that figure relates to the $5M+ figure, what it covers, or whether it is total impact versus another metric. With the current source excerpt, the safest reading is that $5M+ loss is the concrete amount stated for the cross-chain hack, while the larger number is unexplained in the text we received.
If you hold assets tied to Wasabi Protocol deployments, treat this as a risk signal, not a certainty of recovery. The source text focuses on the breach mechanism, key compromise, and affected networks rather than on remediation timelines or outcomes.
