The proposed network change would unlock tokens tied to funds stolen in separate hacks, valued near $6.5 million. Polygon is reportedly weighing a hard fork that would unfreeze 70.49 million POL tokens and return them to Binance and Polymarket. The tokens, valued at roughly $6.5 million, have reportedly been locked on the network since being tied to separate hacking incidents affecting both platforms. A hard fork is a protocol-level change that alters a blockchain's rules going forward. Unlike a simple software patch, it typically requires validators and node operators to adopt new consensus code.
