Cetus Protocol Transfers $160M to Multisig Wallet Post Hack

Cetus Secures $160M in Funds After Hack

Cetus Protocol, a major platform on Sui, recently transferred $160 million in recovered funds to a multisig wallet post-hack. The hack led to over $220 million in losses, prompting emergency recovery measures.

The Cetus Protocol, the Sui Foundation, and OtterSec are jointly managing the multisig wallet. This move enhances asset security while engaging the community in transparent recovery discussions.

Mixed Market Reaction to Cetus’ Recovery Efforts

Cetus Protocol’s asset recovery through a multisig wallet has triggered discussions about decentralized security measures. Market reactions have been mixed, with some questioning the balance between security and decentralization.

“With the funds now secure, the hacked platform has entered the next phase of its asset recovery,” noted the Cetus Protocol Team, Core Developers, Cetus Protocol.

The recovery efforts aim to stabilize Cetus Protocol’s market position. Historical data shows that coordinated responses often mitigate long-term damage, as seen in other DeFi incidents.

Cetus Recovery Mirrors 71% of Past DeFi Hacks

The Cetus hack mirrors past DeFi breaches, with a 71% recovery rate seen as relatively successful. Such incidents highlight potential vulnerabilities in decentralized systems.

Experts suggest that while multisig wallets enhance security, the debate around decentralization persists. Historical trends indicate that crises may prompt shifts in industry practices.
