The Cetus Protocol indicates that it has not yet received a response from the hacker and urges them to seriously consider the negotiation conditions previously proposed. Meanwhile, with the support of Inca Digital and the Sui Foundation, Cetus has announced a reward of $5 million for information that can successfully identify and assist in the arrest of the hacker, including their name, location, and solid evidence. Information can be sent via email to [email protected], with the subject marked 'Cetus lead.'

Cetus added that if the hacker chooses to cooperate and accepts the proposal, no legal liability or reward actions will be pursued, and the reward amount will be paid at the discretion of the Sui Foundation.
