PeckShield detected unusual activity on the Syndicate Bridge, a service that connects the project to other networks. Experts pointed to a possible exploit worth $300,000. The market reacted immediately: SYND fell from about $0.045 to $0.029, while its market cap dropped significantly.

How the situation unfolded

Monitoring data showed large volumes of SYND being withdrawn from the bridge contract. Shortly after, PeckShield issued a warning on X, citing signs of an attack. As the news spread, investors rushed to sell, accelerating the decline. In some cases, trading platforms temporarily halted SYND trading to limit user risk.

Cross-chain bridges are frequent targets for attackers because they hold large amounts of locked liquidity. Syndicate Bridge is a critical part of the project’s infrastructure, so any disruption directly impacts the token’s price. The exact attack vector remains unknown, but such incidents are typically linked to smart contract vulnerabilities or compromised private keys.
