aelf blockchain outage halts staking rewards for one week

aelf has restored public node access and several core services following a week-long halt in block production due to malicious smart-contract activity. As of Sept. 14, public nodes, aelfscan explorer, FairyVault transfers, Awaken trading, Forest NFT browsing, and TMRW DAO staking interface are operational, though full reopening is still pending. On Sept. 15, MainChain and tDVV status endpoints were accessible, but transaction submissions were not tested. Exchange deposits and withdrawals are gradually resuming, with Bithumb restarting on Sept. 14 and MEXC on Sept. 5, while INDODAX still lists ELF wallet transactions as closed. No staking rewards were generated during the outage, meaning there are no rewards to claim from that period. Investigators identified 155 transactions linked to the malicious activity, with no evidence of unauthorized transfers or exposure of ordinary users' assets as of Aug. 26. aelf has not yet published a full post-incident review or final root-cause assessment.
