ME News reports that on July 31 (UTC+8), cross-chain infrastructure Wanchain tweeted that it has proposed a white-hat settlement to the attacker responsible for the July 20 attack on the Wanchain-Cardano bridge, which resulted in the theft of NIGHT tokens. The proposal requires the attacker to return 90% of the stolen NIGHT tokens by 8:00 PM Beijing Time on August 6, retaining 10% as a white-hat bounty. If returned on time, Wanchain will recognize the action as white-hat behavior and refrain from filing a civil lawsuit.
