Ankr to Airdrop $ankrBNB to $aBNBc and $aBNBb Holders Before Exploit Happened

Ankr released an update regarding the $aBNBc exploit, saying it will conduct an airdrop to compensate affected users who held $aBNBc and $aBNBb before the exploit happened.

Ankr said that Helio will cover $15m estimated bad debt resulting from the exploit. Ankr will acquire $HAY overtime on the market using the $15m recovery fund while collaborating with Helio to participate in the repayment of the bad debt. It will work closely with Helio Protocol to re-build its ecosystem.

Ankr will mint $ankrBNB in line with the $aBNBc and $aBNBb holders snapshot as of December 2nd at 12:43:18 am UTC (block height 23545403). $ankrBNB will be airdropped to all $aBNBc and $aBNBb holders, and to all liquid staking users who held either token through smart contracts at the time of the snapshot.

Ankr is deploying a $15m fund to compensate $BNB liquidity providers, $BNB lenders, and $HAY users affected by the $aBNBc exploit.

Users that redeemed $aBNBc or $aBNBb before the exploit will receive $BNB. Users that requested to redeem $aBNBc or $aBNBb after the exploit have been blocked and canceled. $ankrBNB redemption requests will be required after receiving the airdrop.
