Through this decision, Hacker completed his promise, which he said earlier.
A spokesperson from Wintermute stated that the team received better & positive news regarding the recent incident because it will help the team to focus on research & development more perfectly.
“We see today’s news as a very positive development: the Optimism foundation has been made whole and can focus on building and growing the ecosystem.”
Wintermute also appreciated the ability of the hacker to find out the bug associated with the platform and also appreciated the decision of the hacker to show that he turned to a white hat with the return of funds.
“The person who discovered the exploit chose to wear a white hat, setting a good precedent for the whole crypto community.”
Earlier in the crypto industry, many crypto platforms faced hacking incidents and the majority of them faced 100% loss but there were very few cases where hackers returned the stolen funds.
In August 2021, a hacker stole $600 million worth of crypto assets from Polygon network’s cross-chain platform. But later returned the majority of the stolen amounts.
