THORChain has released a recovery plan for the attack incident, and voting for node operators has begun
THORChain has released its fourth update regarding the attack incident on May 15, and the proposal ADR028 has been announced, with voting for node operators now open.
According to the recovery plan, the protocol will first absorb losses through its own liquidity, with the remaining portion to be shared by synthetic asset holders; the specific distribution ratio of the two is still under evaluation. The protocol's own liquidity will be reduced to zero, and will be gradually replenished through system revenue. This plan will not issue or sell RUNE, nor will it dilute any holders.
On the technical side, GG20 will be temporarily retained and has completed patch upgrades. Trading will resume after the vulnerabilities are fixed and node rotation is successfully conducted, with a future release pace that is slower and more security-conscious. Innocent nodes located in the same vault as the attacker will be protected, while the attacker nodes will be fully confiscated. The recovered RUNE will be paired with the recovered assets, and any excess will be destroyed.
The protocol also offers a white hat bounty to the attacker to recover funds; if some are returned, the recovery plan will be adjusted proportionally. THORChain remains neutral and permissionless, and there will be no review of the attacker's Swap transactions after trading resumes. Node operators are currently voting on the proposal direction, and the numbers in the ADR are only indicative, with adjustments to be made through Mimir later.
