Hello, this is XENT(before swap : ENTC)
In response to the hacking of this project, the foundation is taking urgent action with all its capabilities.
We will provide you with the nth emergency action notice until the prompt normalization is completed.
In addition, as we are still continuously checking the safety of all accounts, we would like to ask users not to respond to any requests or information until direct notice through the partner exchange. (Possibility of impersonation notice through account takeover)
Until all normalization, the Foundation will not issue any additional notice other than emergency measures and will not require any money or equivalent from users or investors.
In addition, sensitive content during the normalization process may be announced after the procedure.
Among the measures, the time is indicated in units of 1 hour.

*About token swaps
-New contract issuance for token swap was completed around 13:00 on May 2, 2024.
- Includes token name, rebranding where the ticker changes.
-As soon as the cooperation with major partner exchanges is completed, we will issue a notice.
- The foundation is sequentially updating the branding of all token-related information starting on May 5, 2024, in order to prevent further damage and to normalize quickly. (All existing ENTC-related logs and data will be succeeded and recorded.)
-In the case of the LBank exchange, we plan to pay the same amount of XENT as the ENTC in the exchange when swapping because LBank froze the hacker's inflow token and the entire asset until the end of the investigation and confirmed the support at the request of the investigative agency.
-We are currently in the process of sequentially rebranding swaps for listed exchanges, and we will add them to the emergency action notice after the official announcement of the supported approved exchanges. (In process discussion with date)
-XENT payment for existing ENTC-held wallets based on on-chain data began on 2024.5.13.
(Applied after verifying the contents of on-chain data transactions excluding blacklists and exchange hot wallets)
future measures
Continuing legal proceedings against attackers
Other sensitive measures are reported after execution in the form of reporting after the foreclosure in preparation for further attacks by the attacker
informations for users
-Please never purchase or sell tokens on DEX opened by the attacker for the monetization of the deodorizing token.
-The tokens of users stored in the exchange are believed to be stored safely, and we will request the resumption of the deposit and withdrawal after future measures.
-Please avoid using the contract until the action is completed because the attacker has seized and owned the contract ownership.
-Please do not respond to any request to impersonate the Foundation or Exchange. (Please do not respond even if the sender uses the same or similar address or account as the official account.)
-Emergency action notices will be operated by entc.world, twitter.com/entc_official . (Intensive operation for account security)
-MOD within the community, Head MOD is a communication facilitator. MOD's answer does not represent the foundation's official position and accurate information can only be found through this notice and email (cs@sdkbenter.com ).
-Please do not trust informal answers and information during the communication support process.
(Example)
Unidentified information not provided by the foundation's official website announcement, such as "Token is scheduled to be incinerated" and "The delisting has been decided."
-Individual inquiries via email will only be answered on urgent matters until action is completed.
-updates of token information in the homepage and aggregator, including the total distribution volume and the unlocking schedule, monthly supply and burn will be provided in batches after token swaps and normalization are completed.
-The reward payment event for users, which was underway before hacking, will resume in a way that complies with the existing period after normalization, and we will actively collect community opinions and issue a notice in the future considering equity by period from various angles.
- We ask for your understanding that swapping of rebranded tokens is subject to cooperation from partner exchanges, and the foundation cannot provide the exact schedule arbitrarily. We will share it with you without delay in case anything is confirmed.
-We are doing our best to prevent further damage with rapid swaps and to prevent the outflow of assets that should be used as compensation. As partner exchanges are also actively engaged in discussions, we will achieve normalization as soon as possible.
