The zksync Association has reclaimed nearly $5.7 million in digital assets after a hacker accepted a bounty offer, returning 90% of the stolen tokens. The resolution followed a 72-hour "safe harbor" window announced on April 21, allowing the attacker to keep 10% as a reward for compliance.
Three transactions on the ZKsync Era blockchain finalized the recovery on April 23. The swift resolution underscores the growing trend of negotiated recoveries in crypto exploits—a pragmatic alternative to protracted legal battles.
