Pirates (malicious actors) have already exploited some weaknesses, not only stealing assets but undermining the bridges' credibility. DefiLlama reports over $2.83 billion lost to cross-chain bridge hacks. Understanding vulnerabilities is your first line of defense. DefiLlama states cross-chain bridge hacks have resulted in over
