We detected an attack targeting the Kite (KITE) token. It was identified and contained immediately, and no tokens were lost.
In the interest of transparency, here is what happened:
• Our security monitoring flagged unusual KITE token transfer activity on Ethereum mainnet.
• The team immediately activated incident response and paused all KITE token transfers on Ethereum mainnet, including cross-chain bridging. The affected tokens are frozen in place: they cannot be moved and will not reach the secondary market.
• The incident is fully contained to Ethereum mainnet, and the affected tokens have not moved since.
Our investigation is ongoing. We will be taking further measures to strengthen on-chain and asset security, and will share details with the community once they are finalized.
Thank you for your support and understanding. We will keep you updated.
