Qubic recovery rules demand ownership proof even for unstolen funds in vulnerable wallets

  • —The freeze targets wallets with weakly generated secrets an attacker could reproduce
  • —Claims need a source identity, a new destination, a signed message and ownership evidence
  • —Approved claims are listed for seven days; unresolved competing claims stay in escrow
  • —The claim window runs through May 1, 2027
Why it matters: The design shields listed balances from a compromised key, but release now depends on evidence and collective authorization rather than the holder's signature alone.
