Polygon plans a hard fork to recover $7M in stolen POL tokens from attackers.

Polygon developers propose a hard fork to reverse stolen tokens worth about $7 million from five attacker-controlled addresses linked to Binance and Polymarket breaches. The fork would zero out these addresses and return the tokens to verified recovery accounts without changing the total POL supply. This exceptional move aims to recover frozen assets already blocked by denylist but does not set a precedent for future incidents. The community will discuss the proposal on November 5, 2026, with potential deployment following testing.

Polygon's POL token is currently priced at Rp1.766 on Pluang, showing a 4.99% increase in the last day as of November 5, 2026, 13:31 WIB. The market cap stands at Rp18,61 trillion, indicating strong investor interest despite the recent security incident. Trading volume remains robust at Rp1,96 trillion over 24 hours, with a typical holding period of 79 days among Pluang users.
