Because of my carelessness, I sent the arb to the contract address. Before, I thought that there was no hope at all. Now I believe that the foundation will properly improve this method THANKS!!!
I decided to hodl them so i left them in the wallet with other token and no connections except for the official Arbitrum foundation website and the only transferred tokens was the ARB ones. The problem is not in the wallet, I’m telling you there is a bug in the link or claiming website to reverse the transaction in some way, it’s not our issue.

Would you please edit the Abstract and add that the tokens were transferred to Arbitrum foundation through a bug or sweeper bot as many did not even attempt to send the tokens so it’s not accidental transfer.
Thank you

Most of those thousands transferred there tokens to exchanges to sell or to other wallets, while this happened to other thousands who preferred to hodl them, where they are mistaken that the wallet is hacked but it is not.
Read in every transaction hash this part ( Interacted with (to) Arbitrum foundation) without even attempting to open the wallet or send the tokens anywhere.

First, i sent 4000 token to my address on kucoin exchange to make sure that it was true. The first trans was okay. Then i sent the rest of token (2250 token) but this time i very was careless. When i sent it, I immediately realized it was wrong. Everything happened too fast. I couldn’t do anymore …
I agree.
Good idea.
Thanks Arbitrum

I totaly agree with this proposal and i don’t think it’s a mistake
As my problem, i didn’t do anything, i haven’t made a claim or signed this transaction, the token has automatically been transferred to Arbitrum Foundation wallet.
There needs to be a solution to the problem immediately to increase community trust.
It can easily be made into a form to be filled in with related evidence and given a maximum time for filling it out
Thank you

I too encountered the exact same problem and I really think this is a really good approach to our problem. Totally agree with @Welly.

@MidasWhale I told you there was a big thread about this!
I agree with the idea, and think that the
And I agree with this approach for a solution. I may be wrong, but I think there are actually not THAT many people with this issue, so it wouldn’t take all that long to go through the submissions manually. This would alleviate the Arbitrum team from excessive dev work.

@Sohanur240 this is actually not the place for this exactly. We are merely trying to make a proposal in order to get your tokens back, this is not a space where anyone will see your individual transaction and get just your individual tokens back
Please support the DAO proposal if you are interested in a solution. Also, please give any feedback you may have about any proposed solutions.

I’m not sure if this is something that would be possible or not, but I don’t think there is any reason anyone would send tokens to the contract address other than by accident. Do you guys think it would be possible to create a proposal to alter the contract to automatically send tokens back to anyone who sends to the address?

I like the idea of this in theory, but who would pay all the gas fees? Also, I think this could potentially be exploited by someone setting up a bot to send tons and tons of transactions to the contract to drain whatever funds were allocated for gas.
If there was a way to implement something like this in some sort of gasless way that would be incredible. I’m not tech savvy enough to be able to say if it is possible, but would it potentially be possible to force send transactions of tokens to contract to always fail?

It’s actually quite easy to do. Imagine the following scenario:
-You copy the contract address for one reason or another and have it saved on your clipboard
-You then go to copy another address you want to send some tokens to, but don’t fully press the ‘Ctrl’ or ‘C’ button.
-You then go to send tokens to the address you think you just copied, but instead paste the contract address without noticing
-Then you hit send and don’t realize until it is already too late that you actually just sent tokens to the contract
There are probably other scenarios that could happen as well, but this is just one that popped into my head as I was reading your comment.

fortunately I didn’t lose my tokens, but I hope this proposal gets a vote and friends who lost their tokens can recover them
