pNetwork
pNetwork operated pTokens wrapped-asset bridges and later a broader cross-chain routing protocol. It is included because the pBTC-on-BSC bridge lost 277 BTC in September 2021, the pGALA bridge required an emergency whitehat response in November 2022, and the official pTokens application now states that pNetwork v2 has reached end of life.

Incident cases
pNetwork 2022 pGALA contract-control incident2022-11-03
A deployment misconfiguration allowed covert takeover of the pGALA token contract on BNB Chain. pNetwork stopped processing pGALA bridge operations and performed an emergency whitehat drain of the PancakeSwap pool; the GALA collateral on Ethereum was not stolen from the bridge.
pNetwork 2021 pBTC-on-BSC exploit2021-09-19
A bug in pNetwork's Rust event-log extraction caused malicious peg-out requests to be processed on the pBTC-on-BSC bridge. The attacker stole 277 BTC collateral; other pTokens bridges were stopped and were not successfully drained.
