Taiko confirmed a compromise of its chain state verification mechanism and strongly advise all users to withdraw funds from all bridges deployed on Taiko immediately.

L2BEAT has Taiko at ~$9.9M TVS, with ~$9.7M canonical and TAIKO making up 80.3%, so the dollar blast radius is small but the trust damage is concentrated right where a rollup least wants it: settlement. A state-verifier compromise turns every dependent bridge into shared collateral for the same bug, closer to Nomad’s validation failure class than an app exploit. Based sequencing and Ethereum DA do not save you if the proof/TEE verifier path is the weak link.
