Core Fork Recovers 68.15 Million CORE After b14g Hack
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Core Chain's b14g liquid staking protocol suffered a hack, resulting in the theft of approximately 97.36 million CORE tokens, of which 68.15 million CORE (roughly 70% of affected funds) have been recovered following a chain fork executed by the Core team. The exploit targeted b14g, a liquid staking protocol built on Core Chain, allowing the attacker to drain a large share of staked assets. While the majority of stolen tokens are back in the team's control, users have not yet been repaid, and no claims process has been opened. The incident underscores persistent security risks in liquid staking infrastructure on emerging layer-1 chains. Watch for the Core team to announce a repayment or claims mechanism for the remaining ~29.21 million CORE still outstanding, as well as any post-incident security upgrades to b14g.
