$INJ Injective Confirms Safety During Upgrade, User Assets Unaffected
Injective has officially confirmed that the blockchain and $INJ assets remained secure throughout the network upgrade, which took longer than anticipated.
🔸 Some validator nodes were temporarily "jailed" for failing to complete the upgrade on time, causing a temporary drop in displayed staked amounts. Certain exchanges paused deposits and withdrawals to update their nodes.
🔸 Reason for the upgrade: Certain ecosystem applications were misusing binary options markets. The attack was limited to the specific applications involved and did not impact the Injective chain itself.
🔸 The team has remediated the attack vector and will implement stricter constraints.
👉 The good news is that Injective responded promptly, and user assets remain safe. However, this incident highlights the risks where on-chain applications can indirectly create security vulnerabilities. The "jailing" of nodes and the suspension of deposits/withdrawals by exchanges demonstrate the incident's ripple effects, even though the main chain remained unaffected. Investors should continue to monitor the team's subsequent remediation steps.
💬 Do you hold INJ? Has this incident affected your confidence in the project?
