Kame recovers over 185 ETH from hacker after negotiating security breach.
-
Compensation plan pending completion of ongoing investigations for affected users.

Fund recovery is aligned with Ethereum’s recovery, which has gained 11% in the last week.
Kame Aggregator confirmed that it recovered a portion of the funds that were stolen in an earlier security breach. The platform claimed to have negotiated with the attacker and secured 185 ETH through an Ethereum transaction.
Breach contained as users acted quickly
Kame first spotted the exploit when he spotted suspicious activity. He urged users to revoke their token approvals. The alert was able to limit damage because many users were able to cut off wallet permissions before the attack.

The team acknowledged the breach later and began working with Sei partners across the network to track stolen funds and identify affected accounts.
Attacker Returns Funds After Talks
Kame established direct contact with the attacker shortly after the breach. By late afternoon, the project had reported 185 ETH refunded into a recovery wallet. The exact size of the attack has not been revealed, but the platform said that a full review will be conducted to determine the total loss.
The team confirmed that it is working on a compensation plan to compensate users who have been affected. The framework will be released after investigators have finished auditing wallet data. Users are advised to disable token approvals until then and wait for updated security protocol.
The team also noted the compensation plan was designed to mitigate losses, and that the return funds were achieved with the assistance of partners from across the Sei Community.
Ethereum’s trading activity showed a positive result, allowing the funds to be recovered. The token went from $4,500 up to $4,719 in a single day, a 5% gain despite a slight decline on a monthly basis.
Ethereum has gained 11% in the last week, a reflection of wider market activity that coincided the timing of the exploit, and subsequent recovery.
