As a seasoned crypto investor who has witnessed the volatile nature of the digital asset market and the occasional security breaches that come with it, I am closely monitoring the situation at WazirX following their recent cyberattack. Having experienced similar situations in the past, I understand the importance of transparency and effective communication from exchanges during such challenging times.
Indian cryptocurrency platform WazirX has unveiled an extensive plan to recover from a major cyberattack causing a loss of around $230 million, impacting nearly half (45%) of the users’ funds.
In a recent blog entry, WazirX explained their “55-45” approach: Users can easily reach and utilize 55% of their funds. The balance, amounting to 45%, is secured in USDT-represented tokens.
In reaction to the recent cyber attack resulting in the loss of $230 million, or 45% of user funds, we remain dedicated to addressing this issue with integrity and openness. We are pursuing a shared responsibility approach to distribute the financial consequences evenly among all affected users.

“This method intends to share the effects of the loss equally among all users, lessening the strain on any particular segment and expediting the solution process more than conventional techniques.”
Beyond the current arrangements, WazirX will provide users with two separate methods for handling their leftover funds. A comprehensive guide will be emailed to all registered members, requiring confirmation by August 3, 2024, at 7:00 am IST.
The outcomes of this survey may not be legally binding, but they will significantly influence the creation of the final recovery strategy, considering any ongoing probes and the platform’s current financial situation.
WazirX aims to provide a fair distribution of funds for its users by creating a diverse investment portfolio with a blend of different cryptocurrencies. Should any tokens within this portfolio be impacted, they will be swapped out for unimpacted alternatives to preserve equilibrium. The worth of this collection will be determined using the average prices from reliable sources such as CoinMarketCap and other major exchanges, as of July 21, 2024.
