Ankr calls upon a $15 million recovery fund to purchase newly issued HAY to compensate victims of the attack event.

Web3 infrastructure protocol Ankr tweeted that Helio will take full responsibility for the approximately $15 million bad debt caused by the Ankr aBNBc attack. Ankr will also assist in handling and accessing funds from the $15 million recovery fund to purchase newly issued HAY to compensate for the losses of BNB liquidity providers, BNB borrowers, and HAY users in this attack. Ankr stated that on December 2, 2022, at 08:43:18, a snapshot will be taken of user addresses holding aBNBc and aBNBb (block height: 23545403), and ankrBNB will be airdropped. For users who attempted to redeem aBNBc and aBNBb before the attack, Ankr will airdrop BNB as compensation. Requests for redemption of aBNBc and aBNBb after the attack will be rejected and canceled, with ankrBNB airdropped as compensation.
