Core Executes Network Fork to Retrieve 68.15 Million CORE After b14g Exploit

Core executed a network fork to recover 68.15 million $CORE following an exploit targeting b14g ¹. The state rollback or intervention managed to retrieve approximately 70% of the tokens compromised during the security breach ¹.

Despite the retrieval of the assets, affected users have not received repayments ¹. Furthermore, protocol administrators have not established a claims procedure or distribution timeline for victims seeking restitution ¹.

Outstanding Repayment Process

The intervention directly addresses tokens impacted by the b14g incident, yet the remaining balance of roughly 30% of the affected funds remains unrecovered ¹. Network operators have not detailed how the retrieved 68.15 million CORE will be managed or whether individual balances will be restored through future governance or technical measures ¹. Similar network interventions to freeze or recover assets have occurred following wallet and protocol breaches, such as when Qubic paused its network after an exploit.

At the time of writing, broader digital asset markets reflect subdued sentiment, with Bitcoin trading around $77,769, Ether at $2,284, and the crypto Fear & Greed Index registering 37. Core has not published further operational updates regarding token distribution criteria or security adjustments following the fork ¹.
