<h2>Victims of Axie Infinity Hack to Get Refunded</h2>
According to a <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/axie-infinity-developer-to-reimburse-hack-victims-restart-ronin-1.1783141" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">report</a> from Bloomberg on Thursday, Sky Mavis, the parent company of Axie Infinity said, that it will refund users who lost their funds during its recent hack of a whopping $620 million.

The firm has already raised $150 million in a funding round led by crypto exchange Binance in April. At the time, the firm said it planned to use the money and Sky Mavis’s and Axie Infinity’s own resources to reimburse Ronin bridge users.

Ronin Network, the Ethereum-linked sidechain made specifically for the Axie Infinity has also made plans to restart the bridge on June 28. However, to restart the bridge, a hard fork of the network will have to be executed. As such, all network validators have been notified to update their nodes accordingly.
<blockquote><em>"We plan on re-opening the Ronin Bridge on June 28th, with all user funds returned. Re-opening will require on a Ronin hard-fork which requires all validators to update their software. Validators have been informed regarding next steps to upgrade their validating node," </em>the firm wrote in its tweet.<em>
