The promised technical account remains unpublished, leaving the exploitation of the upstream dependency and the activity inside two project-managed wallets unexplained.<\/p>\n<p>The official incident timeline says mainnet resumed at approximately 05:30 UTC on Aug. 22. The chain said there was no rollback or state change between the halt and restart, user balances were not altered, and token holders did not need to take action.<\/p>\n<p>The team behind the chain <a href=\"https:\/\/statuspage.incident.io\/mantrachain\/incidents\/01M0GRZSN99Q68QTFZT2QH4MDV\">marked the incident resolved<\/a> on Aug. 24 but again said a postmortem would arrive in the coming days. Its current <a href=\"https:\/\/status.mantrachain.io\/\">status page<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/s\/mantrachainnews\">official announcement channel<\/a> contained no link to that report when checked on Aug. 27.<\/p>\n<p>MANTRA said its analysis found that the incident affected two <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/mantra-new\/\">MANTRA-managed wallets<\/a> and that no user, exchange, or partner funds were affected. The public account stops short of identifying the wallet addresses, transaction hashes, amounts, or technical exploit steps.<\/p>\n<p>When the halt was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/mantra-chain-stays-offline-after-exploit-as-aug-21-restart-hinges-on-patch-test\/\">reported on Aug. 21<\/a>, patch testing was still underway.
