WazirX

Indian cryptocurrency exchange WazirX has launched a comprehensive recovery strategy in response to a severe cyberattack that resulted in the theft of approximately $230 million, affecting 45% of user funds.&nbsp; 
In a blog post, WazirX detailed its “55/45” strategy, which allows users immediate access to 55% of their assets. The remaining 45% will be held in Tether (USDT)-equivalent tokens.&nbsp;

This approach aims to evenly distribute the impact of the loss among all users, reducing the burden on any single group and facilitating a quicker resolution compared to traditional methods. 
In addition to this, WazirX will offer users two distinct options for managing their remaining assets. Detailed instructions will be sent to registered users via email, and they must respond by August 3, 2024, at 7:00 am IST.&nbsp; 
Although the results of this poll are non-binding, they will help shape the final recovery plan, taking into account ongoing investigations and the platform’s liquidity. 
To ensure fair distribution, WazirX will create a diversified portfolio with a mix of crypto assets for the unlocked 55% of users’ funds. If the portfolio contains affected tokens, these will be replaced with unaffected assets to maintain balance. The value of this portfolio will be based on average prices from CoinMarketCap and other global exchanges as of July 21, 2024.
