SyFu confirmed unauthorized access to the EVT reward pool contract and completely halted app functions for emergency maintenance. The amount leaked is approximately 110,573 EVT, and they have completed containment of the operational wallet and other assets, stating that they will share the investigation results and policy within 48 hours.
SyFu conducted an investigation and verification of the conditions in the urban environment related to EVT as a preventive measure. As an emergency response plan for SyFu, it implemented a non-standard access (hacking) to the EVT reporting tool, confirming an outflow of 110,573 EVT.
SyFu was reported on February 21, 2026, at 20:54 (Japan time) that it is analyzing the situation of the market environment related to EVT and is proceeding with an overall situation assessment and confirmation. It has been announced that as a preventive measure for the analysis, SyFu will implement an emergency maintenance. During the maintenance period, the use of SyFu will be suspended, and all functions will be temporarily unavailable.
In the urgent maintenance notice, it is indicated that the suspension period is "SyFu application usage (all functions)". There is a possibility that the time zone in which the target user cannot operate may arise, and it may affect the retrieval calculation and the operation flow of the next day.
On the one hand, SyFu notes that the impact on the user’s alert and retrieval is not confirmed at the notification time.
There were also comments regarding the inconsistency of the display surface. It is confirmed that there is an inconsistency in the "EVT display in the output waiting function", but it is explained that it is not an issue with the spontaneous alert.
The EVT in question is under investigation and confirmation, and it is expected to be reflected after maintenance.
SyFu reported on February 22, 2026, at 1:42 PM (Japan time), regarding the update on the maintenance status and confirmed the incorrect access (hacking) related to SyFu's EVT reporting tool. The number of EVT reported was '41,573 EVT'. Measures such as stopping the necessary tools to prevent damage have been implemented, and confirmations regarding operational alerts have been completed.
SyFu has confirmed not only the operational alerts but also the reporting tools outside of EVT. It has been confirmed that there are no additional outgoing risks arising from the current situation. It is noted that the relevant framework is being explained as 'EVT reporting tool' and that there is a tendency to strengthen the limits of impact.
In the explanation regarding the Komyunitī, SyFu notes that the increase in the user's EVT this time will not be lost. On the other hand, the points of discussion such as the utilization of the EVT that has flowed out, the original resources for replenishment, and the potential for recycling are in a state of information accumulation.

A pattern where a hack was present for contracts.
Compared to this, an EVT of 1500 million yen was flowing into the hacker.
While there is no direct damage to users, the tokens have dropped from $1.1 → currently $0.8. … pic.twitter.com/yll8moPeaU

However, it has recovered to 0.9ドル now!
Still, the April is a critical maintenance.
Web3 game, no matter what title it is, a major update will occur.
Even if it succeeds, something may arise...
Will the output be hit!? 👀... https://t.co/VuXLezzjw3 pic.twitter.com/PPrqPepte0
On social media, there are discussions regarding countermeasures and safety concerning incidents, and posts requesting responses to future measures are being confirmed.
User posts are being analyzed for frequency from operators, trends in EVT's profit changes, and the impact of daily operations on application suspensions.
The explanation provided by SyFu that 'the addition of flow-out risk is not present' is reassuring, but there is a possibility that the technical explanation regarding fundamentals is insufficient, which could lead to concerns.
Early adopters want to confirm the points that can be managed in three major ways. First, it is the restoration of the stopped EVT report usage policy and the continuity of the report calculation after restoration. Second, the impact of the 410,573 EVT that flowed out is a wave that can be added to the tokenomics or distribution calculation, and it is necessary to provide an explanation of the supply side that is required. Third, in terms of the specifics of the re-prevention strategy, public discussions will become points of contention such as monitoring frameworks, authority management, emergency stop procedures, and minting controls.
SyFu is 'trying to take a little time' and has been sharing confirmed information. In the upcoming 48 hours, if the reasons for the cut and the implementation status of the strategy are shown, the speed of trust recovery will become a point of contention. The continuous halt of the SyFu application will also be a matter of concern for the control of erroneous information, and the degree of updates and precision will likely become important.
