The $9 million that ethical hackers sent back to Nomad on Wednesday has more than doubled in value thanks to the recovered funds. After Nomad announced a 10% bounty on Thursday, more money was found.

More than 300 addresses used Nomad’s cross-chain bridge, a feature that enables users to transfer ERC-20 tokens across Ethereum, Moonbeam, Evmos, and Avalanche, to take $190 million in total on August 1.

The bridge had a significant weakness that was made public and allowed money to be siphoned off. During a smart-contract update, Nomad developers exposed the vulnerability.

The company promised that no legal action would be taken against individuals who returned the tokens to a designated return address, and it made the announcement on Thursday that it would pay the 10% reward to everyone who did so.

Nomad claimed that it is working with law enforcement organizations to look into the event. It has also teamed up with the on-chain analytics company TRM Labs to monitor the transfer of money among the addresses used in the hack.
