PANews reported on January 13 that Flow released an update on the attack incident on the X platform: its community governance committee has completed the final recovery of counterfeit FLOW tokens that were not liquidated in centralized exchanges including Binance and HTX. To date, all counterfeit tokens tracked by forensic firms have been successfully recovered and are locked on-chain for destruction, marking the completion of the fourth phase of the Segregated Recovery Program.
The Foundation plans to revoke the temporary elevated permissions used by the Community Governance Committee during the restoration operation on January 13, 2026. This emergency measure is the first of its kind in Flow's five-year history, and all its operations are transparent and auditable on-chain. The permanent destruction of counterfeit tokens is scheduled for January 30, 2026. During this period, external legal counsel and forensic partners are coordinating with exchanges to assess the impact on users. The Foundation is committed to fully cooperating with exchange partners to restore full functionality on all trading platforms as soon as possible. Coinbase, Kraken, and Gate have already restarted deposit and withdrawal services.
