Magic Eden hack victim posts onchain plea for return of 1.34 WETH with 30% white hat bounty offer.
Security & Exploits ·
A victim of a recent Magic Eden hack posted an onchain message offering a 30% white hat bounty for the return of 1.34 WETH stolen in the exploit. The plea, transmitted on Ethereum mainnet, was directed toward the address believed to hold the stolen funds.
The message represents one approach some victims take following exchange or protocol compromises—attempting direct negotiation with attackers through public blockchain transactions. By offering a financial incentive below the full loss, the victim seeks recovery while accepting a partial cost as an alternative to total loss. The Etherscan transaction record preserves the on-chain appeal.
It remains unclear whether the Magic Eden hack was subsequently addressed through official recovery channels, whether other victims made similar bounty offers, or if any funds were returned following such appeals.
