Fake GIWA Bridge Fake Chain / Fake Bridge Scam: $2.00M Reported Loss

·Source-attributed incident record

Incident Overview

Scammers deployed a fake GIWA L2 network using the legitimate Chain ID 9134, complete with a functional bridge and batcher. Approximately 1,335 addresses bridged ~767.65 ETH believing it was the official mainnet launch. The attackers drained ~766.25 ETH (~$2M). The real GIWA mainnet had not launched. DYORSWAP initially listed the fake network due to the matching Chain ID and later compensated affected users from its treasury.
