The project has not cleared users to return; that remains contingent on a separate security confirmation.

The site’s address is resolving to Kintsu’s normal infrastructure again, the project said. Although the domain has been returned to Kintsu’s regular infrastructure, the project said DNS information is not refreshed across every network. Some visitors may still reach a malicious page for up to an hour while those records update. Kintsu told users to stay off the website and avoid wallet connections until it issues a separate security confirmation. The project made that later notice, rather than restored routing, the condition for resuming use.

Kintsu’s earlier response followed a DNS hijack at its domain registrar that redirected the site to a malicious page. Its guidance covered users who connected a wallet or signed a transaction at or after 8 p.m. ET Friday, Oct. 30 (00:00 UTC Oct. 31). It told those users to cancel related approvals through Revoke and move their assets, as described in EconoTimes’ earlier wallet guidance.
