Summary

On or around July 10, 2026, a Solana wallet reportedly linked to the network's original genesis-block token distribution — dormant for years — began unstaking large SOL positions and moved approximately 180,900 SOL (about $14.2 million at the time) off-chain via a bridge to Ethereum, in a pattern that on-chain investigator ZachXBT and firm Specter Investigation characterized as consistent with theft. As of this writing (September 22, 2026), the exact attack vector, the identity of the perpetrator, and the final destination of the funds on Ethereum remain unconfirmed in public reporting, and no follow-up disclosures, recoveries, or exchange freezes tied to this specific incident have been found.
