“# Rari Capital allocates $26M from developer fund to compensate hack victims <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Following a $10 million exploit over the weekend, decentralized finance protocol Rari Capital is formulating a plan to compensate victims.<\/p>\n

According to an official postmortem of the attack published May 9, the platform lost 2,600 ETH equal to 60% of all users\u2019 funds in its Rari Capital Ethereum Pool. Rari automates yield farming by rebalancing users’ funds and pools.<\/p>\n

On May 10, Rari founder Jai Bhavnani posted an update<\/a> revealing that all of the protocol\u2019s contributors had voted to return the 2 million RGT tokens initially slated for developer incentives back to the project\u2019s decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, to reimburse users impacted by the hack.<\/p>\n

While an exact distribution plan is still being discussed<\/a> by Rari Capital\u2019s developers and community, Bhavnani noted that tRGT token holders will be eligible to claim a share of the DAO\u2019s stablecoin reserves during a May 10 community call.<\/p>\n

The DAO currently holds 8.7 million tokens RGT worth $121.8 million, equating to roughly 1% of RGT’s supply,<\/p>\n

With the Rari Governance Token currently trading for $13.36 according to Coingecko, the total funds allocated to reimbursement are worth roughly $26.7 million at the time of writing. RGT prices dumped 44% following the hack, falling from $18 to $10 in less than an hour.<\/p>\n

Bhavani noted the protocol was started as a fair launch project that did not sell tokens or raise money from venture capital. He added that the concept of a Rari Team has been disbanded and there are now only contributors and token holders.<\/p>\n

The Rari Capital Ethereum Pool deposits ETH into Alpha Finance\u2019s ibETH token as one of its yield-generating strategies. The attacker manipulated the contract to and withdraw more funds than they had deposited. A flash loan was taken out from the dYdX exchange in order to deposit ETH and make repeated withdrawals, draining the pool in the process.<\/p>\n

The Rari Capital exploit follows several recent high-profile hacks in the DeFi sector, such as ForceDAO losing $367,000 in early April, and EasyFi losing as much as $60 million on April 20.<\/p>\n

Rari is not the only protocol seeking to compensate its users, with cross-chain DeFi protocol EasyFi announcing that 25% of lost funds would be distributed to users immedia<\/a>tely in the form of stablecoins, while the remaining 75% will be distributed as \u201cIOU\u201d tokens redeemable for EZ v2 tokens. <\/p>\n
