👋 Tribe! We want to keep you informed about the measures we're taking to safeguard crypto assets on the exchange.
We are in the process of migrating the remaining assets held with Liminal to new multisig wallets. This step is essential to ensure maximum security of the assets in light of recent events. While we believe our interface and systems remain uncompromised, the same cannot be said for the custodian's interface post the July 18th incident, prompting this precaution.
We are exercising extreme caution in how and when we move these assets, considering the complexity involved. Although we can't provide an exact timeline, rest assured that safety of crypto assets on our exchange is our top priority.
For transparency, we'll publish the list of all new wallets once the migration is complete. Additionally, we acknowledge your concerns about the stolen assets. The list of affected assets is available on-chain, and you can view all related transactions performed by the attacker after 18th July, 11:45 AM here 👉 https://wrx.gg/raa
Thank you for your continued patience and support 🙏
