Alex Protocol’s Action Plan
In an attempt to restore the user’s confidence and reduce the fall -out, the Alex Lab Foundation, which supports the protocol, has promised to fully repay affected users by pulling out of his treasury reserves.

“With the help of the Alex Lab Foundation Treasury we will cover 100 % of the loss of each affected user, paid in USDC. To calculate each refund, we will use the average of exchange chains on the chain that were taken between 10:00 UTC and 14:00 UTC on June 6, 2025.”
After the recent exploit, Alex Lab outlined a detailed reimbursement plan and strived to compensate for affected users in USDC.

Not the first time!
However, this is not the first exploit of Alex Protocol. In May 2024, the project lost $ 4.3 million after a cross-chain bridge trap-coupled at the Lazarus group in North Korea.
The team collaborated with on-chain analyst Zachxbt to trace stolen funds over three portfolios, although the full recovery still remains unclear.
