A quick update on where we stand.
IoTeX mainnet was back online within 24 hours. We deployed a protocol-level upgrade that permanently froze ~40.5M IOTX in attacker wallets on-chain. Exchange services are progressively resuming.
On the investigation side โ we built an internal tracing tool called ioTrace to map every movement of stolen funds in real time. What you see in the screenshot is a small slice of what we've uncovered. We have traced critical evidence across multiple chains, multiple exchanges, and multiple years of transaction history linked to the attacker. We know more than we are sharing publicly.
We plan to open-source ioTrace so that any project hit by an exploit can immediately spin up its own investigation โ no vendor lock-in, no waiting for third parties. The crypto industry deserves better tools to fight back.
Meanwhile: law enforcement agencies, leading blockchain analytics firms, and professional asset recovery specialists are all actively working this case. 66.78 BTC in stolen funds remains flagged across 1,000+ compliance teams worldwide. KYC records exist at multiple points in the laundering chain. The attacker's exit paths are narrowing by the hour.
To the attacker: our on-chain message offered a path to resolution. That window won't stay open forever. Every hour, the net tightens.
To our community: we are building IoTeX to last. We will pursue every legal, technical, and on-chain avenue to recover funds and hold the attacker accountable. Full compensation for affected bridge users remains our commitment.
More updates to follow. Thank you to every exchange partner, security researcher, and community member standing with us. This is far from over.
