actually looked up Hacken's report on the @BeldexCoin bridge audit this time, mostly bc of the June exploit, and it's the first time in a while I've read one of these instead of just nodding at the badge https://x.com/shelleymaeph/status/2098396733352841488

## @LauraAKarim (Laura Karim) · 09-11 13:06 · ♥30 ↻5 💬4 OTD in 1297 - The Scottish freedom fighter Sir William Wallace won his greatest victory against the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. There are many inaccuracies in Mel Gibson’s film of Wallace’s life, Braveheart (not least the egregious blue war paint) but one of the most significant is the film’s depiction of the Battle of Stirling Bridge without the bridge!

Wallace’s shrewd use of the bridge was key to the victory he achieved. In an open field the Scots tended to be overcome by the numerical & technological superiority of the English (as demonstrated by Wallace’s own defeat against #EdwardI himself at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298) therefore they needed to exploit the terrain to change the odds. Robert the Bruce would later do the same at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.

Stirling Bridge was the best river crossing over the Firth of Forth at the time, but its narrowness only permitted two mounted men to cross abreast. According to the Chronicle of Hemingburgh Wallace & his main ally Andrew Murray waited until ‘as many of the enemy had come over as the they believed they could overcome,’ likely around 2,000 & then they attacked with devastating results.

Most of the outnumbered English who were caught on the soft ground on the other side were killed. Some escaped by swimming in the river. The bulk of the English army remained in tact, but the English commander Surrey panicked in the face of the carnage. He ordered the bridge to be destroyed, retreated towards Berwick, isolating the garrison at Stirling Castle & abandoning the Lowlands to Wallace.

Wallace’s success at Stirling Bridge resulted in the death of the hated English treasurer Hugh de Cressingham, who had ordered the crossing despite receiving contrary advice from the main English commanders. It established Wallace’s reputation as a a serious military leader. He became Guardian of Scotland & led the Scots on a raid of England as far south as Durham. It also inspired Edward’s next invasion of Scotland & established the King’s long running hatred of Wallace, which would persist until Wallace’s capture & execution in 1305. https://x.com/LauraAKarim/status/2098397871397634053

The bridge is back up and running, the postmortem is published, and work continues across the full stack, with a primary focus on launching Powfi.

Here's the latest dev update:

<SDK>

⚙️ Updated the Go SDK to support the full node v4.7.0 API by regenerating the OpenAPI client. 🐛 Fixed a batch of issues in the generated code, including cleaning up multiple model files and adding missing dependencies. 📝 Updated the update.md documentation.

📄 Published the full postmortem, "Alephium Bridge Exploit: Postmortem", covering the root cause, timeline, remediation, and the external audit by Inference AG. 🔍 Updated the On-Chain Report with details on the attacker's fund movements. 🔧 Fixed navigation menu links pointing to the Bridge.

🛡️ Updated the Bug Bounty policy. 🛡️ Due to a surge in AI-assisted attacks and analysis, bounty rewards are temporarily suspended, though voluntary vulnerability reports remain welcome. 🔒 Improved Discord security measures following a recent incident to help prevent future attacks.

✅ Resolved PRs and updated project listings. 🔧 Fixed broken dApp links.

More to come as we build on the momentum of the bridge relaunch and march towards Powfi mainnet. https://x.com/alephium/status/2098396150617252294
