🚨 X-Bridge Returning to Limited Operations 🚨 We are now bringing X-Bridge back online in a restricted capacity as we continue working to ensure security and stability. The platform is currently being manually monitored and aims to process transactions on a daily basis. These transactions will therefore take significantly longer than usual to process, so please expect delays. Note that zETH and zBNB will not be available for bridging until the related mitigation measures have been put in place. For full details on our corrective actions following an issue with X-Bridge, read our previous blog post:

blog.zilliqa.com

Thank you for your patience and support! Stay tuned for further updates.

On Feb 6, an attacker exploited a vulnerability on X-Bridge that allowed the unauthorised minting of zETH & zBNB. To mitigate the effect of this exploit, we are implementing a number of corrective actions together with stricter security measures as X-Bridge returns to operation. We acknowledge this update has taken some time - however, it was important for our team to fully understand the issue and confirm a resolution before sharing details publicly. We appreciate the Zilliqa community's patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue. Read the full update:

blog.zilliqa.com

🚨Security Incident Update: We have identified a security incident affecting X-Bridge, and our team is actively investigating the situation. As a precaution, we have temporarily suspended all bridge operations to prevent further impact. We strongly advise users to refrain from interacting with the bridge until further notice. Our investigation is underway, and we are diligently assessing the exploit while working to recover any affected funds. We remain committed to providing timely updates as more information becomes available. User safety and fund security are our highest priorities. In response, we are implementing enhanced security measures to mitigate future incidents. A comprehensive post-mortem report will be shared once our investigation is complete. Preliminary findings indicate that approximately 120 ETH has been compromised in this exploit. Note - As a precaution, please DO NOT swap any zETH on ZilSwap at this time and remove any liquidity you have in a zETH pool.

#Zilam! Zilliqa is taking a significant step towards a more decentralized and secure future. We're proposing a halving of mining rewards to incentivize the transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Benefits of this move include: 1️⃣ Faster PoS adoption: Creates urgency for stakeholders to prioritize the transition. 2️⃣ Reduced PoW reliance: Minimizes disruption and facilitates smoother PoS integration. 3️⃣ Ecosystem growth: The reallocated resources will fund Innovation, Community engagement, and potentially stabilize the ZIL token price.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane and revisit the biggest milestones from each year! Zilliqa is Born - 2017 Zilliqa was founded by a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore, the first protocol to use sharding for scalability. 2018 In 2018, the Zilliqa testnet launched, bringing the sharding scaling architecture to a public network for the first time. 2019 2019 saw the official public launch of the Zilliqa mainnet as well as Scilla, the secure-by-design smart contract language used for building decentralised applications. 2020 In its third year, Zilliqa made important improvements, including the introduction of staking. We also saw the launch of ZilSwap as the first Zilliqa-based DEX! 2021 With DeFi adoption growing and our tech stack being steadily improved, Zilliqa saw an impressive number of new applications enter the ecosystem in 2021, including several new projects that would continue to grow in the years ahead. 2022 Testnet launch of EVM compatibility, signalling exciting things to come. 2023 Zilliqa's sixth year was among its most formative, with a major focus on interoperability that brought EVM compatibility to the mainnet. We also saw Google Cloud join the network as an SSN operator and more details were teased about Zilliqa 2.0. 2024 As we celebrate our seventh birthday, we are currently witnessing one of the most exciting years in Zilliqa's history. The whitepaper for Zilliqa 2.0 is now live and reveals an upgraded blockchain that will unlock an exciting new chapter for our community! We'd like to give a heartfelt thanks to our community for your unwavering support over these 7 years. Here's to more innovation and milestones in the years to come!
