Control of the attacker accounts is back with the network and proton.swaps is running patched code. 16 block producers signed within minutes, at midnight, on a Saturday.

That is what a chain with real operators looks like. Thank you all."

> **Visual Note:** A Twitter/X post from verified user "Iso Ledger" (@JamesDula82) lists five questions directed at a project owner after Iso Ledger followed them, including inquiries about reimbursement plans ("Revert"), rough timelines, outreach to KuCoin/MEXC to freeze landed deposits, the status of proton.swaps, and whether Metallicus/Marshall will issue an official statement. The tweet relates to the XPR Network exploit where 1.56B $XPR and other tokens were drained from proton.swaps in 11 minutes due to a double-call bug in the withdraw function.

> **Visual Note:** The image displays a series of recent multi-sig proposals submitted by user "paul123" on the Proton blockchain, including proposals for "recnobown," "recunion," "recsal," and "recnobreed," all marked as "Propose Proposal" actions dated around September 12-13, 2026. These proposals relate directly to the $XPR hack update, as they represent the on-chain governance steps required to reclaim control of the attacker's accounts and recover the remaining ~$9M in stolen funds, with their approval dependent on Block Producer (BP) votes.  

> 
> "$XPR
 hack update:

Approximately $1M of the stolen funds have been sold on exchanges.

The remaining ~$9M would need to be recovered by taking control of the attacker’s accounts.

Proposals to do so are being pushed now, requiring BP approval.

 $LOAN
