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

Proposals
62

As I have read from Discord/support there are a few people who are thinking that our situation is a user mistake and we should not be refunded. Maybe, we should explain our situation to the delegates with a metaphor.

For example, if someone has forgotten his wallet on the table in a restaurant, which is a similar “user mistake”, probably everyone would expect the restaurant to return the wallet to its owner. Opposite is a kind of robbery in most of the cultures. If you know the owner of the wallet, you cannot keep it. Our situation is the same here.

I hope, the delegates will hear and understand us.

Hey everyone, got a few DMs about this and would love to help out.

The recovery isn’t so straightforward as there’s no built-in contract functionality for performing this action, but because of the proxy pattern, the tokens accidentally sent to the $ARB contract should be able to be recovered if an upgrade can be decided on.

I personally understand how one might have the $ARB contract address in their clipboard, and accidentally paste it into a send address when moving it to an exchange or another wallet. Therefore, I think it’s a good idea to move forward and get other delegates aware.

Thank you for your reply. This was not by accident, it was sent back to contract address without even attempting to send it or even opening the wallet or signing any transactions.

That is not true for him and i , it’s an error or sweeper bot in the claiming website or link.
It’s the Arbitrum foundation problem.

For those pasting wallet addresses and transaction hashes

At this time I do not think pasting makes sense. Once the Foundation decides to respond, some form should be open. Pictures of transactions, etc. tend to be erased by authors, and it is not a good idea to add to the burden on authors.

It’s 100,000 arb locked in the contract. That’s like 0.001% voting power so in terms of decentralization that’s nothing and I am pretty sure these users will sell those tokens as soon they get it. Your aim isn’t Arbitrum ecosystem by any means.

How is it the foundation problem when his wallet is obviously compromised? Thousands of people claimed on the website without any problems.

Many of us lost without having a compromised wallet if it’s compromised all your funds get send out, in our cases it’s just the arb that was send back to contract.
