Title: What happened to Parity wallet?
Post by: SiverSurfer on February 03, 2019, 01:35:58 AM
Hi,

I know the Parity is still alive and well as they received some money from Ethereum foundation. What about the wallet that they were building? They got screwed when alot of money >200M IIRC got locked in the wallet because of code issues and it was never released because they went through a vote for a fork and the Ethereum community voted no. So what happens to the Parity wallet now? Is it still usable, or are it's basically pretty much abandoned?

Maybe this article will answer your question and this article has explained it a lot regarding the problem that faced by parity in the past due to the user that activated the vulnerability
