As of August 6, 2025, the hacker who stole $4.5 million from the decentralized protocol CrediX Finance has agreed to return the funds in exchange for a reward. The attack occurred less than a month after the platform, which operates on the Sonic network, was launched. The perpetrator exploited a vulnerability in multi-signature wallets, gaining control over the bridge and withdrawing assets through a series of loan manipulations. The CrediX team stated that they reached an agreement with the hacker, and the funds will be returned within 24-48 hours, without further legal action.
Developers have promised to compensate users for their losses, highlighting efforts to restore trust. Experts believe that the incident reflects a rise in vulnerabilities in DeFi, where thefts of $3.1 billion were recorded in the first half of 2025. Discussions continue on X: some support such a deal as a practical solution, while others criticize it as a concession to criminals.
This case underscores the need to strengthen security in the crypto industry. Stay tuned for updates!
