Cosmos Hub validators restarted the chain on Wednesday morning after a halt that lasted nearly 25 hours. In the first post-restart block, 1,227,121 ATOM moved out of the wallet tied to the Neutron governance attacker, and one report said the wallet owner signed nothing for that transfer. Later, a governance proposal to return the seized ATOM drew a near-unanimous veto by Friday afternoon.
