Cryptocurrency exchange Poloniex has announced its plans to gradually resume deposits and withdrawals following a $100 million hack on November 10. In a recent update on X (formerly Twitter), Poloniex revealed that the phased resumption of services will commence on November 30 at 2:00 am UTC. Emphasizing the prioritization of user fund safety, Poloniex will initiate the restoration process with Tron (TRX) deposits and withdrawals, followed by Bitcoin, Ether, Tether, and other cryptocurrencies within the next two weeks.
The exchange urged users to utilize the newly updated deposit addresses, emphasizing that failure to do so might result in funds not being credited. Poloniex is actively working on introducing new listings, which will be available shortly.
Additionally, the exchange announced an airdrop for users maintaining assets on Poloniex. Developed in collaboration with HTX DAO, the airdrop campaign is scheduled to launch in December, with asset balance calculations beginning on December 1. Tron founder Justin Sun had previously disclosed the airdrop plan on November 24, stating that the tokens for the airdrop would be sourced from a premium project set to be listed, with specific details to be unveiled in December.
Despite the recent challenges, Poloniex continues to prioritize Tron for withdrawals, specifically mentioning Justin Sun in the announcement on X. It’s noteworthy that Sun-associated crypto platforms, including HTX and Poloniex, have experienced four hacks in the past two months, resulting in a combined loss of nearly $240 million.
