Read this thread if you’re interested in #DAOs

Zombie DAO exploit; the fact that there are no security measures covering this scenario shows just how „we are so early“ lol

[Neodyme @Neodyme]

@synthetify got hacked in a DAO attack.

The attacker passed a proposal to upgrade the program and stole $230k from the protocol.

In case youre looking for objective independent research on treasury mgmt in crypto, explore opportunities with @lab_blockchain

[Fred Steinmetz @karoshi08]

Is this the state of Treasury management in crypto?

Indeed every DAO should preserve capital to ensure longterm ecosystem support i.e. more stables and majors

In this case however it comes at the cost of community governance. And token lock is only 2 years. Room for improvement

[Optimism @Optimism]

Starting today, there will be several transactions totaling approximately 116M OP tokens. We’re sharing as a heads up to our community that these are planned transactions.

Their losses now reportedly fund North Korea's nuclear weapon program. What a world
