Across Protocol told users Tuesday to stay away from its app and avoid connecting wallets or signing transactions as it investigates a possible security incident involving its domain, after users described losses tied to the platform.

The protocol also warned against signing transaction approvals until further notice. It did not specify the nature of the incident or confirm whether its website had been compromised.

Users described several losses. One user claimed to have lost $9,000 in USD Coin (USDC), while another reported losing 7,053 USDT0 in seven transactions on the Plasma blockchain. A third user said their wallet was drained after using the bridge several times and alleged the website had been compromised. Across asked users for transaction details to investigate the claims.

Across is a crosschain bridge that lets users move digital assets between Ethereum and other blockchain networks; its app is the service users were told to avoid.
