<p>WazirX intends to initiate by securing a portion of each individual's crypto portfolio value in locked tokens and then seeking ways to release those tokens. The Indian government has implemented prudent restrictions and taxation policies on crypto.</p>  
<p>In response, the community has proposed the practice of burning tokens using exchange proceeds gradually, exploring novel applications for the token, and distributing tokens through airdrops from new initiatives.<br><br>The attack took place when the custody provider Liminal was in operation; however, the product platform and infrastructure remained secure and were not compromised.</p>  
<p>WazirX has made significant progress in its recovery efforts, having received a total of 195 submissions. According to PeckShield, the hacker transferred $57 million worth of ETH to two newly created crypto wallets, with the majority of the funds sent to the address "0x58d."</p>  
<p>WazirX has introduced two bounty programs: the "track and freeze" bounty, which provides a reward of $10,000 in Tether (USDT) for retrieving information that leads to the freezing of stolen assets, and the "white hat recovery" bounty, which offers a payment of up to 10% of the amount recovered for assisting in the recovery process.</p>  
<p>Users on X, formerly Twitter are disappointed and seeking answers from the exchange.</p>
