ChainCatcher message, Ankr officially announced that starting today, it will airdrop ankrBNB to all aBNBc and aBNBb holders (wallets only, excluding smart contracts holding these tokens). Users holding aBNBc and aBNBb through smart contracts are expected to receive the airdrop tomorrow. Ankr has currently locked the transferability of ankrBNB to ensure a fair launch, which is expected to be unlocked by Friday evening (PST).The announcement states that users who redeem aBNBc or aBNBb (unstake) before the exploit will receive BNB at the end of the unbinding period.

ChainCatcher message, Ankr posted an explanation for the halt of aBNB trading: "The DEX itself does not have the ability to stop trading, so Ankr advises liquidity providers to remove liquidity from the liquidity pool. Ankr will absolutely not follow the solution of LUNA. After the new ankrBNB Token airdrop, aBNBc and aBNBb will be worthless. ankrBNB will be the only token that can be exchanged for staked BNB (not affected by the exploit).Therefore, Ankr advises all liquidity providers to remove aBNB to avoid speculative trading, as DEXs typically cannot stop trading capabilities, and Ankr cannot prevent speculative trading or control other DeFi protocols." Ankr also stated that its team is working around the clock to compensate users affected by the previous hacking incident.In previous news, on December 2, Ankr announced that it would take a snapshot and reissue ankrBNB to users who held aBNBc before the attack, and purchase $5 million worth of BNB to compensate LPs. Ankr also stated that the project will use reserves to compensate aBNBc liquidity providers and has begun collecting a list of affected individuals. (source link)

ChainCatcher news, Ankr tweeted that the team has assessed the losses, with the value of BNB in the liquidity pool being up to $5 million. Ankr will take a snapshot and reissue ankrBNB to all valid aBNBc holders before the exploit. The ankrBNB token will continue to be redeemable, while aBNBc and aBNBb will no longer be redeemable.In addition, Ankr will purchase $5 million worth of BNB and use it to fully compensate liquidity providers affected by the exploit due to the depletion of the liquidity pool.
