Cetus is willing to offer a $6 million bounty for the return of the stolen funds from the Hacker.

According to Gate News bot, Cointelegraph reported that the Sui ecosystem DEX project Cetus proposed a bounty of 2,324 ETH (approximately $6 million) to the attacker through an on-chain white hat protocol, requesting the return of the stolen funds and promising not to pursue further liability.

The Cetus team has collaborated with law enforcement and anti-cybercrime organizations to trace the funds, while also proposing potential emergency mechanisms on GitHub to restrict the attackers’ transactions. The day before, Cetus suffered an attack with losses exceeding $220 million, but subsequently successfully froze approximately $162 million in funds.
