SecondFi completed forensic investigations and took a final balance snapshot, signaling an imminent return of user assets.
Cardano-based lending protocol SecondFi is targeting a two-week window to restore user funds following a wallet exploit that drained assets from the platform, the company announced. The firm says it has wrapped up forensic investigations and captured a definitive balance snapshot as the first concrete steps toward restitution.
