Timeline
AFX announced that its sovereign Layer 1 mainnet for decentralized derivatives was live and opened the trading venue at app.afx.xyz/trade.
AFX reported a targeted software-supply-chain intrusion that progressed through internal infrastructure to a subset of DEX validators. Compromised validators co-signed a bridge call that transferred assets from the AFX-operated custody bridge; independent reporting measured the drain at approximately 24.15 million USDC. AFX suspended bridge-related operations and isolated the affected validator cluster during containment.
