ZetaChain has temporarily paused all cross-chain transactions following an attack on its GatewayEVM contract. According to the team, only internal wallets were affected — no user funds were lost, and the attack vector has been contained with no further losses expected.
The protocol is treating the pause as a precautionary measure while an active investigation runs. A detailed post-mortem is promised once the review is complete. The speed of containment is notable, but the incident underscores the persistent vulnerability of cross-chain bridge infrastructure to contract-level exploits.
