Nomad, the recently hacked Ethereum (ETH) Bridge, has announced that it is offering a 10% bounty to Nomad Bridge hackers, who absconded with up to $190 million worth of crypto assets a couple of days ago.
In the announcement, Nomad pointed out that it’s ready to receive 90% of the stolen funds and recognize the hackers as white hats, without putting their initial intention into account.
