  1. Ronin Network Bridge Exploit: Over $600M Stolen: In March 2022, the Ronin Network, an Ethereum sidechain for the Axie Infinity game, suffered a private key compromise resulting in the theft of approximately $624 million in ETH and USDC, making it one of the largest crypto heists ever.
  2. Poly Network Hack: $610M Stolen, Mostly Returned: In August 2021, the cross-chain DeFi platform Poly Network suffered an exploit where approximately $610 million in various digital assets were stolen across multiple blockchains, though the attacker later returned most of the funds.
