SecondFi Prepares Asset Recovery Tool After $2M Cardano Exploit

  • The exploit affected 374 Cardano wallets and cost $2 million
  • The cause was a deterministic nonce derivation error in the software signer
  • zkSecurity found 2 critical bugs in upstream code, both fixed
  • The tool uses ZK proofs without revealing the seed phrase
Why it matters: Recovering assets without revealing keys sets a standard for compensation after hacks in the Cardano ecosystem.
