Layering
Typical severity: MEDIUM
Cross-Chain Bridge Exposure
A direct, first-hop transfer to or from a cross-chain bridge protocol.
Why it matters
Moving value across chains complicates tracing and can be used deliberately to break a forensic trail, similar to chain-hopping techniques.
How we detect it
Check first-hop counterparties directly against curated bridge-protocol entity labels.
Example evidence
A direct transfer to or from a labeled bridge-protocol address.
