Qubic restarts blockchain, opens recovery claims after $1.4M hack

A validator-approved restart with a long claims window is a governance-driven recovery, not a market-driven one — the network's continuity now depends on how credibly that process handles affected users. The nearly two-year filing period signals the team expects a slow, evidence-based reconciliation, which may keep uncertainty alive for holders longer than a quick snapshot-and-refund would. The open question is whether the recovery plan's credibility holds as claims are processed, and whether validator coordination of this kind becomes a template or a cautionary tale for other networks facing similar exploits.
