We will never DM you and we will not ask you to dm us. Just block and report any account claiming to be from IoTeX that dms you (offering support or airdrop etc). That's an imposter.

Whether or not the Korea Exchange will resume trading will be decided immediately by how the IOTEX Foundation clarifies the situation.

IoTeX Official Group

If IOTEX is restored to normal, will it allow the Korea Exchange to trade as well?

Not really. This was published close to 24 hours ago

IoTeX L1 Chain: We are starting to distribute patch to chain delegates now; once we have enough patched delegates online, consensus and normal operations will be resumed automatically.

Exchange Activity: We anticipate withdrawals will resume within 24–48 hours, with deposit functionality following shortly thereafter.

24 February 2026 04:50

I don't have the specific info yet. Will ask the team. Currently the mainnet update is still being distributed I think. The last update from the official account stated that it will be restored within 24-48 hours

We take full responsibility for our users’ funds.

We were the victim of a sophisticated exploit, but this does not change our commitment. We are actively working with exchanges, partners, and security teams to trace the attacker and pursue recovery to the fullest extent possible.

We will not walk away. We will not deflect blame. We will not let this define @iotex_io. Instead, we will:
• Continue upgrading the network and strengthening infrastructure
• Cooperate fully with investigations
• Pursue recovery relentlessly
• Protect our community

This is a difficult moment, but it is also a defining one. We stand with our users. We will rebuild stronger.

Here is the latest:

Random info:

For every io address, there is an 0x equivalent and vice versa.

So you can convert the 0x address to io format first, using this https://iotexscan.io/address-convert

(Paste » Convert to io » And copy the converted address that you can use when withdrawing from CEX that support native IOTX. Can try a small amount first if you aren't convinced)

Important: if you want the native IOTX, make sure that the option to withdraw via IoTeX Network is available. If you can't find IoTeX Network in the menu, then you will not get native IOTX should you proceed with any other network

IoTeX L1 is Back Online & Stable! 🟢

Following the recent security incident, we acted fast to secure the network. Thanks to our core devs & delegates tireless work, L1 resumed operations and upgraded on Feb 23, 2026.

Security Hardening:
✅ v2.3.4 Update: New default blacklist auto-filters malicious EOA addresses to boost network security.

Next Steps: A comprehensive compensation plan for affected bridge users will be published within 24 hours. Thank you for your patience and continued support. 🛠️

Thanks to the swift collaboration of our delegates and community, we've resumed full operations (https://iotexscan.io/blocks?p=1). The hacker's addresses on the IoTeX chain have been permanently frozen — 45M IOTX locked and going nowhere.

We're not stopping here. Recovery efforts are in full force across 20+ exchanges, law enforcement, and on-chain security teams worldwide.

We will hunt this down to the end.

First, we are not in control, so it is not right. to use the word immediately.

However the team has laid out all the events that should take place in the very near future (within 1-2 days)

Once the network is up, that is up to the exchange I think.

Once they are satisfied that it's safe for their clients, they will probably lift any precautions that they placed earlier.

I'll bring to the team's attention too

IoTeX Official Group

24 February 2026 04:54

Just based on this, it could be earlier or later. I've pinged the team for info
