Binance and Polymarket Propose Polygon Hard Fork to Recover $6.8M in Stolen Crypto

As reported by Cointelegraph, Binance and Polymarket are pushing for a hard fork of the Polygon network that would allow roughly $6.8 million in previously stolen cryptocurrency to be returned. According to the outlet, Polygon block producers have already frozen the stolen tokens, but these measures alone do not return the funds to their owners. The proposed hard fork is intended to provide the technical capability to restore the assets.

It is only known that the initiative comes from Binance and Polymarket and concerns the recovery of stolen funds at the network level.
