News linked to both this project and an event.
According to Upbit's official announcement, Upbit has designated Zilliqa (ZIL) as an asset subject to trading caution citing "security incidents such as hacks with unknown causes or unaddressed vulnerabilities" (pursuant to Article 17, Paragraph 1, Item 5 of the Enforcement Decree of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act), with the designated period from 19:00 KST on July 22, 2026, to the third week of August (August 17–21). Deposit and withdrawal services for ZIL have been suspended since 19:00 KST on July 20. Upon reopening, only withdrawal services will be restored, while deposit services will be announced separately depending on the progress of subsequent reviews. Upbit will conduct a detailed review of ZIL during the designated period and decide depending on the situation whether to extend the caution period, lift the caution, or terminate trading support.
according to Zilliqa's monitoring, it has learned of a security incident involving a CEX partner, where some ZIL has been stolen from a cold wallet. The incident is currently under investigation, and the team is working with relevant parties to determine the root cause and the scope of the impact. As a precautionary measure, Zilliqa has notified all CEX partners to temporarily suspend ZIL deposits and withdrawals to prevent the stolen funds from being transferred or sold through centralized platforms. The official stated that further updates will be released after verifying the information and reminded the community to only follow information published through official channels.
