On Sept. 15, the MainChain and tDVV status endpoints were reachable with advancing block heights, though those checks did not test whether users could submit transactions.<\/p>\n<p>The aelfscan, FairyVault, Awaken, Forest and TMRW DAO frontends were also reachable.

Bithumb&#8217;s updated notice scheduled ELF deposits and withdrawals to restart on Sept. 14 at 14:00 KST. MEXC scheduled its resumption for Sept. 5 and told users to generate new deposit addresses because previous ones were invalid. These announcements set venue schedules but do not prove live account-level availability.<\/p>\n<p>INDODAX&#8217;s Sept. 2 notice, meanwhile, still described ELF wallet deposits and withdrawals as closed. Because that notice is dated, it may not reflect a later change in account access, reinforcing the need for users to check each venue before moving funds.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter\" data-inline-newsletter=\"\" data-newsletter-placement=\"article-midpoint\" data-newsletter-pending-label=\"Joining\u2026\" data-newsletter-pending-status=\"Joining The Catalyst\u2026\" data-newsletter-email-required-message=\"Before sending, please provide your email address.\" aria-labelledby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" aria-describedby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-copy\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__inner\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__content\"> <span class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__eyebrow\"> <i class=\"fa-regular fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> The Catalyst <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__title\">What\u2019s moving crypto.

It also described five unique .NET assemblies capable of interacting with host systems and node-related keys and configuration, raising risks beyond the smart contracts themselves.<\/p>\n<p>aelf cautioned that those capabilities did not prove every payload executed, every targeted credential was obtained or data was successfully transmitted. Its evidence review had found no unauthorized transfers of ordinary users&#8217; assets or exposure of ordinary-user wallet keys as of Aug. 26, but that conclusion explicitly excluded unresolved node and infrastructure credential exposure.<\/p>\n<p>The full post-incident review, technical appendix and final root-cause assessment remain unpublished. aelf said those materials would follow after the remaining work, including an independent review, is complete.
