Cronos says about $9.2 million connected to the Tectonic exploit is still unrecovered, even after a chain rollback that reverses most affected activity. The company reports that roughly $111.2 million is reversed by the rollback, while $9.19 million had already moved off-chain before validators intervened.
Cronos’s post-mortem describes the scale of the affected borrowing as $120.4 million. It says that about 7.6% of that amount—roughly $9.2 million—was transferred off-network prior to the rollback, which is intended to restore the blockchain state to before the exploit’s impact. The outlets focus on different parts of the timeline: one emphasizes the remaining unrecovered figure after the rollback, while the other highlights how much was able to leave off-network before validators took action.
Both accounts attribute the outcome to timing between the exploit, transfers off-network, and the network response, resulting in only partial reversal through the rollback process.
