> MANTRA says affected users must redelegate before an existing eight-day unstaking period ends to prevent attackers from claiming the tokens.

MANTRA said attackers had stolen users’ unstaked MANTRA (MANTRA) tokens and begun unstaking staked tokens without authorization, prompting it to pause all new unstaking transactions for seven days.

The pause will not stop requests already underway. Those requests have an eight-day unstaking period. MANTRA told affected users to redelegate before the period ends, saying this would prevent attackers from claiming the tokens and moving them to addresses outside users’ control. After redelegation, any further unstaking will be paused while the freeze is in effect.

The incident involved a Web3Auth infrastructure vulnerability that exposed private keys for some Keplr wallet users in the Cosmos ecosystem who signed in through Google or Apple. MANTRA will reassess the pause after seven days and reserves the right to continue it.
