Polygon Eyes Hard Fork to Recover Stolen POL
Polygon is proposing a hard fork to recover approximately 70.49 million POL tokens stolen from Polymarket and Binance by resetting balances of attacker-controlled addresses to zero and crediting recovery wallets. The incidents occurred on October 29 and 30, with 23.86 million POL linked to Polymarket and 46.63 million POL to Binance. The proposal requires both platforms to prove control of recovery addresses and undergoes governance, development, and testing before implementation.
