Blockchain firm Harmony claims to have had $100 million worth of crypto stolen from its network, called “Horizon”.

Harmony provides what is known as a “blockchain bridge”, which helps to connect blockchain networks that operate via different cryptocurrencies tokens together, for example Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Harmony’s incident response team said it “has found no evidence in any breaches of our smart contract codes nor vulnerabilities on the Horizon platform” and that the “consensus layer of the Harmony blockchain remains secure”.

Harmony said on Twitter that it has committed a $1 million bounty for the return of the Harmony bridge funds and for sharing exploit information.

In addition, the company claims it will advocate for no criminal charges when the funds are returned.

The attack follows a year dogged with high profile cyber-attacks involving decentralised platforms.

“We want to remind our community that we are in the midst of an ongoing investigation and will continue to keep each and everyone one of you up-to-date as we can,” said Harmony founder and chief executive Stephen Tse. “Thank you for your support as the investigation continues”.

In April, Decentralised credit-based stablecoin business Beanstalk was hacked, resulting in $182 million being drained from the its reserves.
