A Polygon Labs validator support team member has proposed a hard fork of the Polygon PoS mainnet to recover roughly 70.49 million POL tokens stolen from Polymarket and Binance. The proposal, filed as a Polygon Improvement Proposal, would use a protocol-level change to claw back the funds rather than relying on the affected parties or attackers to return them. The stolen POL ties to a disputed bridge or upgrade exploit that drained assets from the prediction market and the exchange. The move matters because hard forks are a rare, socially coordinated intervention that could set precedent for how Polygon handles future losses. Watch for validator and community signaling on the PIP, since a PoS hard fork requires broad node operator coordination to activate.
