Important News! 💡

The period of emergency measures to maintain the token price has ended — we have restored the validator reward emission to its previous level!

We thank you for your support and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We respect the community’s choices and DAO principles, so any future changes to token emission rates will be made based on the results of the scheduled vote at the end of December.

Additionally, we will develop functionality in the future that allows the team to implement emergency measures in case of unforeseen situations. Details will follow, so please stay tuned for updates.

Thank you for your trust and support! ♥️

🧠 The Quantum-Safe Hackathon by Cellframe is now live!

The first post-quantum hackathon is now open for participants!
Got a project idea? Now’s the perfect time to bring it to life with us.

We’ve prepared a special lecture series for participants on how to work with Cellframe tools — the first session is starting very soon.

🍁 September recap from Cellframe — the new worklog is now live!

September was a busy month: we updated key services, enhanced security, and launched new initiatives for the Cellframe community!

Main updates of the month:
• Cellframe Auction: implementation of the event registration system, CLI commands, and adaptation of Python wrappers.
• Bridge: website redesign and backend optimization.
• DEX and Infrastructure: overhaul of the order book and introduction of a minimum trade execution amount.
• Cellframe Wallet: interface update and improvements to the shared account management system.
• Cellframe Node and SDK: adaptation of tools for shared wallet, code audit, and implementation of parallel transaction processing.
• Other activities: listing on BingX, launch of the Quantum-Safe Hackathon, preparations for Blockchain Life 2025, and a new ambassador program — all aimed at strengthening and expanding the network!

All key achievements of the month are detailed in the full worklog! 💜

Official Statement from the Cellframe Network Team 🔺
The Cellframe Network team reports the identification and suppression of a large-scale scheme involving the issuance and circulation of illegal mCELL tokens. We have implemented initial measures to protect the interests of legitimate verifiers.

1. Vulnerability Description and Consequences
A technical vulnerability previously existed in the Cellframe network related to the mCELL token and the LP-staking functionality, which was discontinued in January of this year. This vulnerability did not affect the main CELL token but allowed for the creation of m-tokens bypassing the rules, or failing to burn them upon unstaking.

As a result, illegal m-tokens appeared in the network. These tokens were not backed by real CELL but could be used to launch masternodes.

This led to 12 validators collectively holding a significant volume of illegal mCELL (1,295 m-tokens in total). The fact that these same validators also held a reserve of legal m-CELL further complicated the audit and obscured the abuse.

The illegal tokens were sold via OTC deals and through the Cellframe DEX at a significant discount to their nominal value. Chain analysis data indicates that these purchases were primarily made in small volumes, after which the illegal m-tokens were "mixed" with legal ones, blending them and impeding traceability.

2. Team's Response and Justification for Actions
Upon discovering these facts, the project team referred to the internal technical documentation and the Cellframe White Paper. These documents provide for the use of "black/white lists" and transaction arbitration in emergency cases.

Specifically, the White Paper describes a mechanism that allows transactions to be marked as invalid and rolled back in case malicious activity is detected, as a temporary network protection measure.

Although the public version of the document does not contain a direct, detailed instruction for managing mCELL ban lists or individual outputs, the very concept of a flexible structure and the possibility of centralization in cases of critical failures is provided for by the architecture. We proceeded from the understanding that abuse attempts are inevitable in a project's early stages, which is why the CF-20 token standard was designed with the capability for managing ban lists within the protocol.

As part of the investigation and abuse diagnostics, this capability was activated: all holders of suspicious mCELL outputs were blocked, and the verifier keys associated with these outputs were revoked.

3. Current Limitations and Planned Measures
The team currently has a limited set of tools for registry arbitration. Immediate technical work is underway to patch the Cellframe protocol, which will allow for more selective arbitration of specific illegal mCELL outputs, rather than applying a comprehensive ban. We aim to complete this work within approximately one week.

Once the patch is implemented, the current address ban will be replaced with a ban specifically on unspent illegal outputs. Additionally, a penalty for participation in illegal operations will be introduced in the form of a settlement agreement, with the funds directed to compensate damages to legitimate verifiers who lost income due to the malicious mixing.
