- Harmony ONE price has been in a strong bearish trend.
- Hackers stole $100 million from Harmony’s Horizon Bridge.
Harmony ONE price continued its bearish trend after a major hack in the ecosystem. The ONE token is trading at $0.024, which is the lowest it has been since March 2021. It has dropped by 95% from its all-time high. As a result, its market cap has crashed to more than $243 million.
Harmony Bridge hacked
Harmony is a leading blockchain project that helps developers build super-fast and cheap applications. The average transaction per second (tps) in Harmony is 2 seconds while the average cost per transaction is $0.0001.
It is a Zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup platform that has been used to build hundreds of applications. According to its website, it has over $1.09 billion in total value locked (TVL). Some of the top applications in Harmony are SushiSwap, DeFi Kingdoms, AAVE, and Curve Finance.
The Harmony price is tumbling after the developers announced a major hack of its bridge network. In a statement, they said that they had identified a theft that happened in Horizon Bridge. In total, the criminals stole about $100 million in form of coins like Wrapped Ether, Frax, Aave, and Sushi.
Horizon is a bridge that facilitates the transfer of tokens between Harmony and other blockchains lik Ethereum, Binance Chain, and Bitcoin. The current announcement came a few days after Harmony reported of an attempted hack in its Bitcoin ecosystem.

This is not the first time that hackers have targeted a bridge. In September last year, criminals stole $130 million from an Avalanche cross-chain bridge. The affected chains were Zebu Finance and Vee Finance. In another hack on a bridge, hackers stole over $320 million from Wormhole, a Solana bridge.
So, will Harmony price survive this? While Solana and Avalanche did well after the two hacks, the challenge is that these hacks came in a time when trust in blockchain is sliding. Investors have lost over $2 trillion in assets and respected companies like Celsius and Three Arrows are on life support.
