TeleSwap
Summary
TeleSwap (formerly TeleportDAO) is a cross-chain bridge protocol that lets users move Bitcoin and Runes to EVM chains, TON, and Solana using light-client and "Locker"/"Teleporter" custodian architecture, funded by a $2.5M 2023 seed round and a 2024 public token sale. On July 15, 2026, on-chain investigator ZachXBT and the SlowMist Hacked incident database reported suspicious outflows of roughly $735,000 from TeleSwap's Bitcoin hot wallet followed by laundering through Tornado Cash; as of this writing TeleSwap has not issued a public confirmation, technical postmortem, or the underlying transaction details, which is itself a notable transparency concern. Overall reporting quality on the incident is thin — it traces back mainly to one investigator's claim and aggregator write-ups rather than a project statement, a named security-firm root-cause report, or Tier-1 news coverage, so key facts (attack vector, exact amount, affected users) remain unverified.
