Decentralized finance trading protocol SushiSwap is preparing to launch a claims website for whitehat funds for the protocol's April exploit, pending an audit, SushiSwap Head Chef Jared Grey said Wednesday on Discord.

“Once auditors provide the all clear, we'll make the claim site available to affected users with funds held in our whitehat address,” Grey wrote.

The announcement of the claims website’s launch comes shortly after the SushiSwap experienced a $3.3 million exploit last Sunday and promised to make its users whole.

Claims will expire on April 23 at 13:00 UTC (9 a.m. ET), according to SushiSwap. Unclaimed tokens will go to SushiSwap’s treasury.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article conflated the protocol's Merkle contract for vested tokens for early liquidity providers with its Merkle contract for whitehat funds following the protocol's April exploit.

An Incentives Committee would direct programmatic token emissions, focusing allocations on participants that secure AVSs and contribute to the EigenCloud ecosystem.

What to know:

  • The Eigen Foundation has unveiled a governance proposal aimed at ushering in new incentives for its EIGEN token, shifting the protocol’s reward strategy to prioritize productive network activity and fee generation.
  • Under the plan, a newly formed Incentives Committee would manage token emissions, prioritizing participants who secure Actively Validated Services and expand the EigenCloud ecosystem.
  • The proposal includes a fee model that channels revenue from AVS rewards and EigenCloud services back to EIGEN holders, potentially creating deflationary pressure as the ecosystem grows.
