Following the recent exploit, Alex Labs, a layer 2 (L2) developer platform for Bitcoin, has announced a comprehensive recovery plan and enhanced security measures to restore community trust and resume its operations.
The Alex Labs Foundation has detailed its roadmap to rebuild confidence and resume operations on its platform after the recent attack. This includes two ongoing governance votes, one focused on the Treasury Grant Program (TGP) and another related to reopening unaffected pools. These votes will determine how recovered assets will be used and whether certain pools will be reopened on the platform.
Dear ALEX Community,
We are committed to restoring trust and resuming operations with enhanced security measures. Below is the roadmap for our re-opening:Governance Votes are ongoing for:

One of the main concerns is the management of recovered assets and the mitigation of associated risks. For example, potential risks of certain options in the TGP have been highlighted, where the value of a synthetic asset could depreciate, affecting the platform’s stability.
To strengthen its security, Alex Labs has implemented additional measures, including a smart-contract-based multisig security audit and collaboration with Kaamel Technology to investigate the security incident. They aim to identify vulnerabilities in the platform and prevent future attacks.
Alex Labs Seeks Support from its Community in its Recovery
Communication with the community has been a priority during this recovery process. They have organized a question and answer (AMA) session to provide detailed updates on the incident and progress towards recovery. Community members are encouraged to participate actively and share their concerns.
The deadline for governance votes is set for June 2nd at 3:30 pm UTC. Once the votes are concluded, the future management of located, frozen, and recovered user funds will be determined. This process will be crucial to restoring stability and trust in the platform.
Alex Labs is committed to addressing the exploit transparently and effectively. With enhanced security measures, open communication with the community, and a focus on participatory governance. The platform aims to move towards recovery and restore trust among its users.
