> Cronos halted block production after an exploit at decentralized lending protocol Tectonic, then restarted from a chain state before the attack. Onchain researcher Weilin Li estimated roughly $75 million in affected assets, but the figure and attack mechanism remain unconfirmed. Cronos and Tectonic are still assessing losses and next steps.
