Promote with Leviathan NewsAxelar says roughly $4.67M in tokens was taken from assets bridged over IBC from Axelar to Secret Network. The issue is isolated to the Secret-side ICS-20 contract for the Cosmos IBC connection, and Axelar’s emergency committee disabled the Secret and Secret-SNIP connections while contacting exchanges and law enforcement. Axelar says its core protocol, other IBC connections, Secret tokens, and other integrations are not affected, with a post-mortem still coming.
