Injective: An on-chain security incident only affected a small number of prediction market applications; the mainnet remains online.

The official X account of Injective (@injective) issued a statement confirming that Injective recently completed an accelerated network upgrade. The upgrade process exceeded the expected timeline, resulting in some validators being temporarily jailed for failing to complete the update within the required window. Consequently, the network's staked amount experienced a brief decline, and several exchanges temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals. This accelerated upgrade was initiated in response to a vulnerability exploit targeting a minority of ecosystem applications within the binary options market. The attack was confined to the respective application layers, leaving the Injective mainnet, underlying protocol, native assets, and consensus mechanism unaffected. The associated attack vectors have been successfully contained and remediated. Injective stressed that all user funds on-chain and staked INJ tokens remained fully secure, noting that external reports characterizing the event as the "blockchain being attacked or shut down" were inaccurate. Moving forward, Injective will implement enhanced invariant detection, real-time monitoring systems, and additional security safeguards, while maintaining continuous collaboration with ecosystem developers to raise overall security standards.
