Protocol Information
Nomad is an interoperability protocol for generalized message passing. We leverage an optimistic mechanism. There are no validators, and there is no blockchain. We're deployed as smart contracts between two chains, and has a lightweight off-chain component. This allows us to have less overhead and be more cost-efficient than other interoperability protocols.

Amount: $190m
Classification: Bridge & Cross-Chain
Technique: Forged Proof
On August 1, 2022, Nomad bridge was exploited when the protocol initialization set trusted roots to 0x00, matching the untrusted root value. This caused the Replica contract to accept any messages as valid, enabling 300+ copycat attackers to drain $190M total.
