The $292 million theft from Kelp DAO has highlighted critical structural flaws in cryptocurrency bridge systems. These bridges, designed to facilitate asset transfers between blockchains, rely on intermediaries or third-party validators for data verification rather than independent validation, creating a centralized vulnerability exploited by attackers.
