Incident Details

Hector DAO, the governing body behind the Hector Network, voted to liquidate the project’s $16 million treasury and distribute it to tokenholders, effectively putting an end to the project.On July 14, a community manager wrote on Discord that “Hector Network ha[d] suffered significant damage to its ability to operate” after the Multichain collapse, and that the project faced a choice between liquidating the treasury and winding down or migrating to a new blockchain and trying to rebuild. The community chose the former.According to a post on Discord, the winding-down process will likely take 6 to 12 months as the project appoints a liquidator, legal counsel, and auditor.
