Sep 8, 2026By ClusterWire.news· AI-assisted news brief

Cronos said $9.19 million remains unrecovered after an attacker borrowed $120.4 million from the Tectonic lending protocol, and validators later approved a rollback that reversed about $111.2 million of affected value [1].

Cronos’s post-mortem cited by Cointelegraph put the amount of affected borrowing at $120.4 million and said about 7.6% of the funds was transferred off-network before validators intervened [2].

Another report said the rollback reversed approximately $111.2 million, leaving $9.19 million unrecovered, and that Cronos removed 10,961 blocks from history while reconciling affected transactions [3].

One additional outlet reiterated that Cronos confirmed $9.19 million remains missing and described the validator-approved rollback as restoring roughly $111.2 million of affected activity [4].
