Test message:
Addressed to the party controlling 0xd86cbc1892bfda05f3d7e6c17c71709b6ae957a5 and the funds associated with the ChainConnect.com bridge incident of 26 July 2026.
We are writing to you directly because we would prefer to resolve this matter without further escalation.
Our proposal is as follows: you may retain 15% of the recovered funds as a whitehat bounty. Please return the remaining 85% to 0x840B3De19e3FAB72fa9A168bD8Dd71B678c57989 on Ethereum.
Upon receipt of the returned funds, ChainConnect will acknowledge you publicly and in writing as a whitehat, recognise the retained 15% as a bounty for the vulnerability you identified, and will not pursue civil claims or undertake independent identity-attribution efforts in connection with this incident, subject to applicable law and the rights of third parties.
If the funds are not returned, ChainConnect will pursue all lawful recovery options available to it, including notifying law-enforcement authorities and engaging specialist blockchain-investigation firms. The relevant addresses have been identified and circulated to exchanges and analytics providers, and tracing efforts are ongoing.
We would prefer the first outcome and believe it is the reasonable one for both sides. The decision is yours.
Please reply on-chain from 0xd86cbc1892bfda05f3d7e6c17c71709b6ae957a5. We will correspond only with a party that demonstrates control of that address by signing a message. Any offer sent from an address other than 0x68d447e2a4c6e7c1945725939a0cbcb4a67f9b30 is not authorised by ChainConnect.
ChainConnect, 28 July 2026
