Eleven days after a hack on the Liquid Network, hackers returned 3,400 BTC but still hold 598.50 BTC valued over $45 million, keeping L-BTC peg-outs frozen. Blockstream, the network's maintainer, refuses to pay for the remaining coins and insists the 1:1 L-BTC to BTC peg will be covered, but users cannot redeem L-BTC for BTC yet. This incident, along with recent exploits on similar BTC-backed projects, raises concerns about the security and trustworthiness of BTC-backed tokens and layer two platforms. The situation remains unresolved, leaving holders unable to access their funds until a solution is found.
