I think I am the first one to comment and hopefully not the last. :slight_smile:

When will there be structured coordination of discussions in here?

It is starting to kick-start now. With the discussion here and in the AIP-1 thread. We will need to make the forum posts titles a bit more expressive with ‘Temperature Check’ etc.

Will there be a calendar of events of some sort?

Yeah, we are working on this now. Both for in-person events and online to meet community events. If you have any ideas on what events you’d like to have, I’d love to hear it! ^^

When will the DAO formally be constituted?

The on-chain contracts are already deployed and everything should be final when AIP-1 is ratified. So hopefully not long now.

Please clarify one point. Everyone’s situation is different. I will describe my example. And I’m waiting for a response from competent people. When clame tokens, I signed several transactions. (In the second step, when it was necessary to indicate the address of the delegation wallet, I chose a random one) After that, the tokens were credited to the account and immediately went to an address unknown to me. (looks like a hacker). Looked at the same address. It received about 56k+ arb tokens. What was it in my case? and then they went all the way to another wallet, nothing was sent to the contract addressTracked in Arbscan

Bro I accept the fact that my tokens were stolen.

I can’t do anything about it. But what you wrote is about creating a new wallet. What is the right thing to do so that the new wallet is not at risk. Information security lesson plz!

I think this is a fair and rational proposal! Thanks to the author for this suggestion, I fully support it, I also lost 1875 tokens

  1. Assume the device where you created that wallet is compromised as well, so restoring the device is not the worst idea imo.
  2. Re-install metamask, or alternatively switch wallet provider and make sure to create a new wallet, that’s how you get a new private key.
  1. For extra safety: get a hardware wallet (Ledger or Trazor, always purchase from official websites).
  2. For even more safety: use a hardware wallet as cold storage, meaning, that wallet won’t be connected to the internet, and will just act as vault.

Hopefully in the near future, when we get smart-contract wallets thanks to Account Abstraction, such things won’t be happening, or at least not as often, since we won’t have to think about private keys anymore.

in my case my arbs tokens did not appear in the wallet and even so they were transferred to the arbitrum contract address, but in arbscam it appears that the transaction occurred an error, is it possible to recover my tokens from the airdrop, since they did not arrive in mine wallet and were sent to the arbitration contract address?

303

Yes, just now I also transferred USDC to a contract address by mistake, I am not new to crypto and I also make such mistakes due to the frequency of operations, there are many factors that lead to this (network clogging issues, third party application issues, personal momentary oversight, etc.) Now Arbitrum is the leader in L2, with the end of the bear market and the development of crypto, there is a surge in online transactions and Many new users are coming in and there will be new users making this mistake, so I wonder if it is technically possible to solve this problem so that users can have a chance to redeem themselves and make decentralization more friendly to everyone in the world

304

Totally agree with you

306

Hope the team quickly approves this proposal. It helps those who have unfortunately made a mistake.

Also, I believe that such losses due to unintentional oversight should be avoided at the root. web3 is still in its very early days, and as the industry grows, more users will move from web2 to web3, and there will certainly be new users who keep making such errors, and the team will incur extra effort and various costs if they have to solve the issue one by one, so it is better to stop such things from the source, for example: If a user sends a token to an address that is a contract address for a particular token, it should be more than obvious that this transaction cannot be sent. If such issues are not addressed, this mechanism, which amounts to zero tolerance, will lose new users because of the possibility of losing all their funds if they commit a single oversight, which will hinder the development of a popular industry, where decentralisation is the first priority and fairness is what we all seek

I didn’t go anywhere, I found these tokens after hacking in the scanner
the last action is the branding of the tokens, after which the tokens lay there for 4 days and we learned about the loss 8 hours later, how is this possible? an attack from the arbiter network has begun, and the last interaction with your contract
