Proposal: Return funds to arb users who sent their airdrop tokens to the contract address

Yeah i know that too, it was in Announcement channel.

same, I checked the address too before sending the funds to binance but they got sent to the foundation.

I personally like that approach. However, in this case, do we take into account how much work it would require? Don’t get me wrong; I think this case is special, and I will probably vote in favor, but not if it requires 120 man hours. If you get what I mean.

I agree with Wellyngton’s AIP. Thanks for this proposal. This can encourage more people to participate in DAO governance. WAGMI

Guys, we should make sure how to make a real proposal to vote, it seems like foundations not review this page actually!

We can see AIP-1 has been created on snapshot, so who has the permissions to create one for AIP-2?

Same for me I increased the gas and my tokens where gone.

Gauntlet favors proposals of this nature, and there is precedent from previous ecosystem/protocol airdrops. Prior to voting yes, we’d like to review a specific plan for the first step under implementation to ensure proper execution.

Agreed, this would help many people

I agree with this AIP thank you so much Wellyngton.

Team why y’all are banning me from the discord, I literally told people to not trust scammers when they get dms, after this a scammer got mad and said I scam people few messages before he messages guys in the scam report channel and says to them check dm. What is wrong with your mods? Pitty76 is the worst he is unprofessional and emotional. Whenever somebody states theres problem they just keep saying if you send them it’s your fault, no it’s not. Not one soul send them out willingly, most people lost them while increasing the gas fees for a swap, token transfer to a cold wallet, exchanger or while trying to swap. The whole proposal idea is sadly just a way to buy time y’all can allready see how man people got scammed with the same method. The way the mods and the team act is suspicious, there shouldn’t even be a proposal.
The worst even after y’all posted a scam link in dc y’all don’t want to reimburse user who fall for the trap. I’m really disappointed how thinks been handled right now, it’s simply unfair to blame the users, when we didn’t send the tokens to the foundation wallet y’all should help the community and not keep accusing so many people that they send token to a address they never seen before why would anyone do that, what would we gain from it ?
At least check my messages in the dc and add me back to the discord so I can see if something changes in the positive direction. And please check the mod which banned me, he clearly didn’t does his job right, protects a scammer which was pinned by multiple people for scam attempts and instead of kicking him, he kicked me.
Thanks
Sincerely

There’s no need to get personal. Pitty76 does a great job, answering the same questions every day must be exhausting. And in general, this proposal is not about the events taking place in discord, please write here only on the subject.

Can’t talk for the devs of course, but since my idea would only be a fork of the original contract, just changing the allowlist and start and end of claim times, I don’t believe it would take more than a couple days to implement, so I believe 10% of recoverable tokens is a good amount to pay everyone involved and have a bit of revenue for the DAO for the troubles.

(If any dev has a different opinion on this, please consider yourself welcome to reply!)

I would recommend we put a bounty into the Open Data Community upcoming data hackathon. They focus on finding fraud in public goods funding and have the experience of understanding onchain actions in relation to fraud from Gitcoin over the past years.

I would recommend making 2 bounties. Perhaps the foundation can fund them.

  1. Understand the sybil situation. How many sybils got through the airdrop. Did they all sell? What effect will that have on Governance?

  2. This situation. Was there a bug? Who was affected? Where did those funds go?

Am also lost my 102 arb token but to do for this

Actually, it’s got to happen to you to understand. No matter how ridiculous this might sound, people got hacked or I’d rather say people got their tokens stolen by a sweeper bot that diverted their $ARBs into another wallet despite using the right and official Arbitrum site. It’s called Sybil attack. The system temporarily got compromised during this sybil attack and it’ll be very unfair to think that all these people complaining about their lost tokens are all wrong at the same time.

Doesn’t change the fact that these people’s tokens are unrecoverable, so I believe that @Myst’s point is fair. Also, a sybil attack is a different thing and not what happened in these cases. If someone lost their tokens via a transaction to a 3rd-party wallet they did not initiate or sign, it means that wallet’s private key is compromised.
