Dear WTK Community,
On December 5, BitMart exchange suffered a hack: the person responsible was able to withdraw almost $200 million of tokens from the exchange to their personal account.
It was our immediate decision to do anything and everything possible to make sure that all WTK holders would not lose a single WTK asset. We knew this would be a very challenging outcome to achieve in the blockchain world and have worked tirelessly to make this a reality.
Today, we are happy to confirm that we have reissued the assets of those impacted. The steps that we took to solve this challenge include:
- Deployed a new smart contract: with the same supply, utility and fundamentals as the previous one.
- Airdropped 1:1 WTK to all WTK holders with positive balances.
