📢 We deployed a new version of our Ankr token staking UI to fix issues on the list of staking details. ✅ All the staking details should now be correct and visible to most of the users. ⚠️ Although, some users will see a “pending” sign, which means we can’t automatically calculate the amount of days left. 🆕 We hope to during the next week plan release the final update and remove these “pending” cases. Please note that this issue on the UI level of the dashboard shall not be conflictive with unstaking once your lock period is over.

📣 Last night we detected an issue causing intermittent failures on our token explorer, resulting in errors being generated when trying to fetch the data on the ankr staking platform. 🤝 Our devs quickly detected the issue, and promptly fixed the bugs, meaning the platform is now operational again. 🔍 There is, however, one bug remaining on the user interface that means displayed stakes may not match the real amounts staked. 🛠 Our devs are currently working on this and a fix is imminent. Until then, rest assured this is purely a visual glitch and all stakes are correct and secure.

⚠️ Due to a sudden unusually high traffic of ankrBNB unstakes, part of the validators that process our transactions couldn't handle the requested liquidity in due time, resulting in withdrawals taking more than the usual 10 days ETA. 📆 All these requests will be processed tonight (December 30, 2022 early morning). After tomorrow, withdrawal times shall once again stick to our basic unstake ETA of 7-10 days. 🤝 Thank you for your support and patience

🛠 After Action Report: Our Findings From the aBNBc Token Exploit 🔗 We just released a new blog post that goes in-depth about this:

www.ankr.com

📣 First wave of Wombat BNB LP for wallets that held BNB LP directly or indirectly through smart contracts (Magpie, Wombex, Quoll, etc.) is complete. ⚠️ If you did not receive a BNB airdrop yet please wait till we complete the compensation plan and future waves, on the meanwhile, please go through the previous announcements where you’ll find if you gather the specification to be held eligible for a corner case resolution. Link to the Announcement

www.ankr.com

🛠 BNBx LP airdrop is expected on Wednesday if there are no blockers. 📝 More details about the distribution mechanism will be revealed tomorrow. 🔗 As previously mentioned, more information about Ankr's rationale related to the Recovery Plan will be revealed after BNBx LP's airdrop

📣 More info in regards to Wombat BNB LP tokens compensation plan 🪂 Wallets that directly or indirectly held Wombat BNB LP tokens will receive a BNB airdrop compensating 100% of the tokens they held today and tomorrow. 🪂 Wallets that directly or indirectly held Wombat BNBx LP will receive an airdrop later this week compensating 50% of the tokens they held. 🤝 Over the last couple of weeks, Ankr has consulted diverse opinions from key stakeholders impacted by aBNBc exploit in the BNBCHAIN ecosystem. ‼️ More information about the latest update of our recovery plan results, as well as a more detailed description of Ankr's rationale related to the plan will be revealed a few days after executing the final steps of Ankr's recovery plan.

✅ We have completed the airdrop to stkBNB LP wallets. The wallets received ankrBNB and stkBNB.

📢 Ankr Makes Progress With Recovery Program Targets and Milestones ❓ It’s been a week since Ankr detected a hack that resulted in excessive minting of our BNB liquid staking token (aBNBc) and its rapid exchange for other tokens on decentralized exchanges ✅ The team was able to briskly patch the exploit within hours and deploy an initial $15m Recovery Fund that has now been exceeded to compensate DeFi BNB liquidity providers, BNB lenders, and DeFi protocol users affected by the aBNBc exploit. 🔗 Read more

www.ankr.com

📢 BNB staking and unstaking have been enabled 📲 You can now stake and unstake BNB through the Ankr liquid staking dashboard 🔍 Token address:

bscscan.com

⚠️ Remember that the above address is the only official one

⚠️ Important notice: The BNB airdrop for LPs is in progress now (PancakeSwap, Ellipsis, Apeswap, izumi, ACryptoS & protocols that built on top of these DEXes) ❗️ You can find the BNB airdrop listed in the internal transactions tab ✅ The ankrBNB transaction is listed in the bep-20 tokens transactions tab 🔍 Token address:

bscscan.com

🚨 We have just enabled ankrBNB transfers ⏩ You’re now able to transfer your ankrBNB freely across wallets ‼️ As a reminder, don’t forget to add the token contract to your wallet, so it becomes visible or enable token auto-detection (if using Metamask) 🔍 Token address:

bscscan.com

⚠️ Important notice: The airdrop for LPs will be processed in two batches 👉 The first batch will be an ankrBNB drop 👉 The rest, BNB, has been calculated but will proceed later 🔜 Please bear with us and the whole amount will be dropped soon! 🤝 Apologies for any confusion caused by this not being communicated sooner. 🙌 Thank you for your continued understanding and patience!

📣 Today Ankr started air-dropping ankrBNB to all aBNBc and aBNBb token holders (wallet only, not including smart contracts holding these tokens). 🚨 For now, we have locked transferability for ankrBNB to ensure a fair launch. ⏱️ You can expect this to be unlocked by Friday evening (PST) ‼️ Users that redeemed aBNBc or aBNBb (unstake) before the exploit, will receive BNB at the end of the unbonding period. ‼️ Users that redeemed aBNBc or aBNBb after the exploit, will not receive BNB at the end of the unbonding period and will get ankrBNB airdrop. 🔗 Here is the token address for ankrBNB:

bscscan.com

‼️ Users that held aBNBc and aBNBb through smart contracts can expect to receive an airdrop tomorrow. ‼️ We will announce it via our social channels when it happens.

📣 Our new token, ankrBNB, is going to replace aBNBc and aBNBb, to become the sole BNB-based liquid asset available from Ankr. ➕ The new token will be reward bearing and the reward earning concept will be retired for BNB as a result. 🤓 Our new token model ensures users can start using Ankr Staking easily and efficiently by removing reward-earning tokens that are still not supported across many DeFi platforms. 🔗 Read all about it here:

www.ankr.com

📣 Report on halted trading: reasons and in-depth technical explanation: DEX’s themselves very often do not have the ability to stop tradability, which is why Ankr recommended liquidity providers remove liquidity from the liquidity pools. We are absolutely not following a LUNA approach. aBNBc and aBNBb will be worthless with 100% certainty after the airdrop of the new ankrBNB token. ankrBNB will be the only token redeemable against staked BNB (which have been unaffected by the exploit). We recommended anyone providing liquidity removed it, in order to avoid speculative trading, since DEX’s cannot generally block the ability to trade. Ankr also cannot block speculative trading as we cannot control other defi protocols. ‼️ Why did selling stop but buying continued? Because there was no more BNB in LPs to sell aBNBb and aBNBc. It was drained out by the exploiter, who had an unlimited amount of aBNBc that he sold on DEX’s vs BNB until drying out completely the liquidity pools (=0% BNB/100% aBNBc in the LPs) The only exit then available to the exploiter was to sell aBNBc vs BNB on DEX’s since we blocked unstaking. DEX’s cannot be blocked and even if it was possible, it would have been too late to block it manually by the DEX team due to how DeFi protocols are run. 🛠 Why didn’t we simply change the contract to prevent buying and selling? Because the contract was already compromised and any changes we made could be undone or altered by the malicious actor. To take a more secure approach to prevent any further damage that could cover several leakage points we did a one shot replace with the original contract and took preventive measures so it wouldn't be reverted again.

Ankr Official Announcements: ⚠️ We understand diluted aBNBc was speculatively traded after the exploit occurred, but we are only able to compensate LP’s caught off guard by the event. 👤 Regarding individual users, we will only compensate users that were holding aBNBc/aBNBb before the exploit took place as this is the correct time to take the snapshot. 🤝 We remain at your disposal for any further questions or/and doubts. 🗞️ Read our latest explanatory article for an in-depth explanation on compensations and security updates:

www.ankr.com

Further instructions from the Ankr team: 1. Do not trade 2. Remove liquidity from DEXes if you are a liquidity provider (and keep the aBNBc) 3. Snapshot will be done and wait for additional news 4. Will do a reissuance of aBNBc
