Harmony proposes to mint 4.97 billion tokens to reimburse victims

The team behind the Harmony blockchain project has proposed the minting of up to 4,970 million of its native ONE token. This, to compensate the victims of the $100 million Horizon Bridge hack in June.

The Harmony team noted that 65,000 wallets from 14 different assets were affected by the hack and that they have “worked tirelessly to brainstorm and develop ways to realize the reimbursement” of victims.
