However, the amount of funds raised by the team is not yet 100% enough to recover all of the crypto that were siphoned on March 29. According to the announcement, up to 56,000 Wrapped ether (WETH) has still to be recovered from the hackers for up to 2 years.
Sky Mavis explained:
The 56,000 of missing ETH from the Axie DAO treasury will remain undercollateralized as Sky Mavis works with law enforcement to recover the funds. If the funds are not fully recovered within two years, the Axie DAO will vote on next steps for the treasury.
This leaves 117,600 WETH and 25.5 million USDC, all of which have been reimbursed to Ronin Bridge users.
