According to CoinMeta, the Cardano ecosystem project Empowa disclosed that two related incidents of unauthorized asset transfers occurred in three of its project wallets. Between November 2025 and June 2026, approximately 143,710 ADA were transferred out from one project treasury wallet in 18 transactions. The airdrops corresponding to this wallet were also claimed by unknown individuals using their private keys, with about 36,000 NIGHT already being transferred away. From June to August 2026, an additional 4.24 million EMP were transferred out from two other project wallets, some of which were subsequently sold through Minswap, Vyfi, etc. Empowa indicated that the funds from both incidents ultimately flowed into the same intermediate wallet, suggesting that they were controlled by the same party. However, it is currently not possible to confirm the identity of the person or persons responsible for operating these private keys. The project team has hired a professional blockchain investigation firm and plans to seek KYC information through the centralized exchanges that the funds eventually entered.
