Flow advances recovery plan, raises exchange concerns after $3.9M exploit

The plan to address a multimillion-dollar exploit continued with "phase two progress" on EVM after it scrapped a plan to roll back the blockchain.

In a Thursday X post, Flow said it had made “significant progress” in its recovery plan, now entering phase two and expected to take several days.

Cadence and EVM remediation will now proceed simultaneously.”
