Re: Axie Hack
Like you've heard me say multiple times, bridging is no joke. I've been saying it's very risky since before the major hacks started. We won't rush into anything with too much risk to the native token. We're only ~1.6m market cap, but we take security as seriously, apparently more seriously, than multi-billion dollar orgs. And that resolve will pay off some day.
However in regards to how the hacker executed it specifically, I already foresaw that exploit and we're already protected against it. Our validators are not on the same servers as our API or our game servers. They can look for a backdoor all they want and they won't find signatures.
This is what took the extra time setting up and it's the reason our game servers experienced a lot of hiccups in the early days, and still do sometimes.
But this is proof it's worth the effort.
