Binance and Polymarket Push for Polygon Fork to Recover $6.8M Stolen Crypto

Binance and Polymarket have jointly proposed a Polygon hard fork designed to recover roughly 70.49 million POL tokens—assets they say were stolen in two separate security incidents tied to the companies. The tokens are valued at about $6.8 million at the amounts cited in the governance proposal. According to the Wednesday proposal posted on the Polygon forum, the recovery plan targets five attacker-controlled addresses: 23.86 million POL (worth about $2.31 million) associated with the Polymarket hack across four addresses, and 46.63 million POL (about $4.51 million) held in a single address linked to the Binance incident.
