Dear users, our team has discovered that on June 22, 2024, our platform was subjected to a cyber attack… Only one balance of the 22 types of cryptocurrencies in our hot wallet was affected…
Our cold wallet is secure… User assets are not affected…
As a precautionary measure, cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals have been suspended, and our operations will be restored as soon as possible.
