Cosmos Hub Halts Chain for 25 Hours, Recovers 1.22M ATOM
- —Cosmos Hub halted at block 33,086,740 and restarted on Sept. 23 at 21:00 KST
- —The attacker gained chain-level control via the AIATO governance proposal on Neutron
- —About 1.7 million ATOM was bridged via IBC, with 1,227,121 ATOM recovered by the patch
- —A 4-of-6 multisig with Nansen, Keplr, Enigma, Silknodes, Kiln and Polkachu holds the recovered funds
Why it matters: The incident shows that decentralized networks can halt to protect safety, and recovering funds requires separate Cosmos Hub governance approval.
