The post Secret Network SCRT Migration to Arbitrum Highlights Risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Secret Network is pushing for one of the more dramatic moves in the Cosmos ecosystem: a full Secret Network SCRT migration from its current Cosmos-based chain to Arbitrum, the Ethereum layer-2 network. The proposal, published in a July 7 governance post, frames the shift as a response to real and growing threats — a fresh bridge exploit, a deteriorating liquidity environment, and code that is aging in an era when AI tools are making old vulnerabilities cheaper to exploit. Key takeaways Secret Network proposes migrating SCRT to Arbitrum as a new ERC-20 token via a one-time snapshot on September 1. A recent $4.7 million Axelar-Secret bridge exploit is a central driver of the security case for migration.

Tether’s treasury burned $2.5B worth of USDT tokens on July 7, the largest supply contraction since February.
