AUTHEO COMMUNITY UPDATE

AUTHEO COMMUNITY UPDATE

We want to address the security incident affecting Autheo directly and transparently. On October 12, 2026, we became aware of an exploit involving the unauthorized minting of THEO tokens by an unauthorized actor, followed by transfers to Base. We are investigating the circumstances of the incident, including the number of tokens affected and any associated transfers or sales. We are also assessing the impact on trading liquidity and the broader ecosystem. The full scope and financial impact of the incident have not yet been confirmed.

Our team is treating this with the utmost urgency. As an immediate precautionary measure, we coordinated with our infrastructure partners to halt block production on the Autheo Mainnet, take validator nodes offline, and stop the affected cross-chain relayer to prevent further unauthorized activity. These measures are intended to remain in place until the identified vulnerabilities have been addressed and the network can be safely restored. We are actively investigating the incident and determining the appropriate remediation and recovery steps.

We understand the concern this creates for our community, and we take this situation extremely seriously. Our priority is to establish the facts, address identified security risks, and determine the appropriate next steps, including potential remediation and recovery measures.

We will share further updates as we verify material information and have meaningful developments to report. Please rely on our official website and social channels for updates and be alert to impersonation accounts and unsolicited “recovery” offers. Never disclose your seed phrase or private keys, or connect your wallet to an unverified site claiming to provide incident-related support.

We know the community needs clear information. We will distinguish confirmed findings from matters still under investigation and correct any earlier information if our findings change.
