  • The attack began with a deposit of 330 satoshi (~25 cents)
  • 46.1 billion syBTC minted against prior issuance of 13.91 tokens
  • Real losses estimated at 9.97 BTC (~$770,000)

Why it matters: The exploit shows that small bridges concentrate disproportionate risk, while compensation and restart timelines remain unconfirmed.
