The exchange will publish monthly, independently verified reserve reports, giving users third-party confirmation that assets are fully backed. MEXC has expanded its partnership with blockchain security platform Hacken to introduce monthly, independently verified Proof-of-Reserves (PoR) audits, marking a shift toward a more formalized transparency framework for the exchange. The monthly audits will add independent verification to MEXC’s existing PoR system, creating an external record of reserves that cannot be altered internally.

WLFI said the compromised wallets were targeted through “third-party security lapses,” not issues with the platform or its smart contracts. “This was not a WLFI platform or smart contract issue. Attackers gained access to user wallets through third-party security lapses,” wrote WLFI in the X post. Read more
