The decision was a response to the Swiss Swissborg Swiss crypto -tanks, where hackers, according to sources, used the vulnerability in the Kiln API, kidnapping about 193,000 SOL ($ 41.5 million). As explained in Kiln, the procedure for the release of validators is not related to the loss of funds in the Ethereum network, and customer assets remain safe.
“After our statement regarding the incident with SOLANA with the participation of SWISSBORG, KILN takes additional precautions to protect customer assets in all networks,” – declared CEO of Kiln Laslo Sabo.
Kiln Finance noted that the process of output in the stake of validators began on September 9, and its duration will depend on the actions of each particular validator.
At the same time, during the release, the validators will continue to receive rewards for the staying, which should minimize their potential losses. The company also temporarily suspended access to some services, including the Kiln Dashboard, Widget and API control panel.
According to data service Validatorqueue, the line of exit from the validators of the Ethereum reached 1,628,074 ETH, which is about 29.36% of the total number of ether in stakeing.
Earlier, Security Alliance analysts have announced a potential threat to theft of cryptocurrency assets of users due to the hacking of the main libraries of the JavaScript ecosystem.
