Key Takeaways
According to CryptoSlate, aelf restored public nodes and core services after a week-long outage, while exchange access varies and a final review is pending.
According to CryptoSlate, the aelf blockchain network has restored public node access and several core services following an emergency shutdown prompted by malicious smart-contract activity. The approximately one-week block-production halt generated no network staking rewards, meaning no rewards from that period are available to claim via the TMRW DAO interface.
CryptoSlate reported that services including aelfscan, FairyVault, Awaken, Forest, and TMRW DAO frontends are reachable again. However, exchange deposits and withdrawals are resuming gradually and depend on individual venues. Bithumb scheduled ELF deposits and withdrawals to restart on Sept. 14, MEXC scheduled its resumption for Sept. 5 with instructions to generate new deposit addresses, and INDODAX previously listed wallet services as closed.
Investigators identified 155 transactions associated with the malicious activity, along with five unique .NET assemblies. As of Aug. 26, the project found no unauthorized transfers of ordinary users' assets or exposed wallet keys, though unresolved node and infrastructure credential exposure was excluded. CryptoSlate noted that a final root-cause assessment and independent review remain pending.
