[Injective: No On-Chain Attack, INJ and User Funds Remained Safe During Upgrade]
Injective's official statement clarified that yesterday's coordinated accelerated network upgrade took longer than expected. However, throughout the process, the Injective blockchain and INJ assets remained secure, with the protocol and consensus uncompromised, and user and staked funds unaffected. Some validators were briefly 'jailed' for failing to complete the upgrade within the designated window, causing a temporary drop in the network's displayed staking volume. Additionally, some exchanges temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals to update their nodes, but no staked INJ was lost. The upgrade was prompted by the exploitation of binary options markets within a small number of ecosystem applications. However, the attack was limited to those specific applications and did not impact the Injective chain itself. The team has since patched the relevant attack vectors and will introduce stronger constraints, real-time monitoring, and enhanced security mechanisms.
