Injective completes accelerated network upgrade on August 31 after binary options app exploit
AI Market Summary
Injective completed an accelerated network upgrade after an exploit impacted a limited set of ecosystem binary-options apps; the core chain, consensus, INJ, and user/staked funds were not compromised. Temporary validator jailing and exchange deposit/withdrawal pauses created short-term operational friction, but the attack vector was patched and additional monitoring/invariants are being added. Separately, an affiliated entity's SEC transfer-agent registration supports regulated tokenization infrastructure.

Injective said it completed an accelerated network upgrade on August 31, though the rollout took longer than expected. The move followed an exploit that affected a limited number of ecosystem applications running binary options markets, while the Injective blockchain and INJ remained secure. On the same date, an Injective Institutional Services affiliate said it had been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a transfer agent on August 19. The upgrade was aimed at strengthening network security and stability.
