On Oct. 12, at some point after $117 million was drained from Solana DeFi platform Mango Markets through a worth feed exploit, the hacker answerable for the assault demanded a settlement. The proposal was filed on the Mango Markets decentralized autonomous group (DAO) governance discussion board.
If handed, the process would contain the hacker sending stolen MNGO, SOL (SOL) and Marinade Staked SOL tokens to an handle supplied by the Mango DAO staff. Customers with out unhealthy debt will probably be remade entire. Nevertheless, the hacker calls for that any unhealthy debt be seen as a bug bounty and insurance coverage, to be paid out through the group treasury value 70 million USD Coin (USDC), or $70 million.
Including insult to harm, the hacker has voted for this proposal utilizing hundreds of thousands of tokens stolen from the exploit.
