MAPO Token Price Collapses 96% After Cross-Chain Bridge Breach

A security breach on the Butter Network cross-chain bridge has left the MAPO token reeling after a malicious actor created one quadrillion fake tokens. The attack, which was carried out using a standard Solidity coding flaw related to handling multiple dynamic parameters, resulted in a 96% price collapse within hours.

The attacker deployed an externally-owned account to execute the sophisticated attack, initially transmitting an authentic oracle-signed transaction before resubmitting an altered variant that maintained an identical hash signature while containing fraudulent data. The bridge's validation mechanisms accepted it as legitimate and processed the enormous token generation.

According to blockchain security specialist Blockaid, the vulnerability was related to handling multiple dynamic parameters in the Solidity contract infrastructure. The development team at Map Protocol immediately suspended mainnet operations and initiated migration procedures to a new contract architecture.
