KyberSwap Offers a 10% Reward for the Retrieval of $50 Million in Stolen Assets

Taking a courageous step towards reclaiming stolen assets, KyberSwap, a well-known decentralized exchange (DEX), has extended a 10% reward to the individual behind a recent $50 million heist. This endeavor signifies a notable stride in the platform's commitment to negotiating and protecting user funds.

Following the incident on November 22, the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) overseeing KyberSwap initiated contact with the hacker, suggesting the possibility of negotiations. The hacker, having indicated the need for some rest before engaging in talks, has remained unresponsive ever since. The attack was specifically directed at the platform's liquidity pools, resulting in a significant decrease in its total value locked (TVL), plummeting from $80 million to just $7.78 million.

KyberSwap's proposition involves offering a reward amounting to 10% of the stolen user funds. The DAO's communication, dispatched from a contract deployer wallet, recognized the sophistication of the hack and underscored the significance of returning the pilfered assets to the platform's users. The DEX has set a deadline of November 25, 06:00 UTC, for the return of the funds.

The trend of hackers taunting their targets by using signed transactions containing text messages is on the rise within the realm of decentralized finance (DeFi) breaches. This approach also offers a means for protocol teams to initiate discussions with the individuals responsible for the attacks.
