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.
