Ostium has released a design update on the second phase of the compensation plan for liquidity providers (OLP). This plan offers two compensation mechanisms for users who have losses exceeding 1,000 USDC and have not opted for Convenience Allocation:Default Plan A (USDC Installment Payment): Funding sources include recovered and future recovered funds (distributed proportionally after deducting the first phase portion), a specific share of revenue from the Ostium protocol and Gateway (initially 50% of Ostium opening fees), and potential partner incentives or revenue sharing.Optional Plan B (Ostium Labs Equity Conversion): Users who meet securities regulation requirements can convert part of their unrecovered losses into Ostium Labs equity at the valuation of the next round of financing, with the same class of shares as the team, and a total holding percentage for participating users subject to a fully diluted cap.The second phase portal is scheduled to launch on October 30, and eligible users can proportionally claim the allocated funds from Plan A; if they choose equity conversion, the portion of losses converted to equity will no longer be eligible for subsequent installment payments under Plan A, thereby helping to accelerate the repayment process for the remaining unconverted funds.Ostium emphasizes that this compensation plan is voluntarily initiated by the official and does not guarantee the full recovery of lost funds; specific implementation details and parameter scales are still being refined.

The Drift Foundation stated that the compensation pool will continue to be funded with protocol revenue, and Tether has committed to providing up to 127.5 million USDT to support the restart and user compensation, with the claim deadline set for January 1, 2028.

The perpetual contract protocol Drift (now Velocity) Foundation has opened claims and redemptions for the security incident on April 1. Affected users can claim newly issued compensation tokens DFX at a rate of 1 DFX for every $1 of verified loss. DFX is a Solana standard SPL asset, with a fixed total supply of approximately 299.5 million tokens, corresponding to about $295.4 million in verified losses, and no further issuance will occur.Users can destroy DFX on the official portal and redeem it for USDT at the redemption price, or trade it on secondary markets like Raydium. The redemption price is determined by the balance of the recovery pool divided by the number of DFX tokens that have not yet been destroyed. Currently, there are about 3.11 million USDT in the pool, with a redemption price of approximately $0.0104, allowing for about $1 back for every $100 lost, covering about 1% of the losses, which has caused dissatisfaction in the community, believing there is a significant gap from the expected full compensation.The plan also includes a maximum support commitment of $127.5 million from Tether, up to $20 million from partners, as well as subsequent sources such as transaction fee sharing from the new trading platform Velocity and the recovery of stolen funds, most of which are upper limits or installment arrangements, and were not included in the pool on the opening day. After the DFX launch, the redemption price remains around $0.0104, while the secondary market trading price has risen from about $0.01 to approximately $0.03, with a 24-hour increase of about 210%, and liquidity at that time was around $200,000. The tokens can be freely transferred, and the trading price does not have to equal the redemption price; buyers are mainly concerned with subsequent funding, protocol revenue, recovered funds, as well as the impact of early redemptions and the destruction of unclaimed portions after the window closes on January 1, 2028.

The CEO of the cryptocurrency trading platform MEXC, Vugar Usi, issued a statement regarding a recent user account security incident. Usi stated that the platform's customer service previously identified abnormalities in the account and implemented a freeze, subsequently assisting the user in recovering their original email and two-factor authenticator to mitigate risks.Due to the residual API keys in the account not being completely cleared, the attacker transferred funds before the situation was fully controlled. The platform is still investigating the detailed causes. Usi stated that the platform does not believe the affected users should bear the losses alone, and the team has formed a special task force to handle the incident, providing full compensation to the user.

Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of the cross-chain trading platform Relay, Jason Maier, stated that the team discovered an issue with the Relay API over the weekend, which exposed pending transaction information before trade execution. MEV seekers exploited the pending routing status to infer on-chain paths and front-run trades before order execution, resulting in worse execution prices for users trading through Relay.This activity occurred from September 12 to September 26, primarily concentrated from September 23 to 26. Seekers profited approximately $136,000 from this, affecting around 5,600 users, with a median impact of $11.88. Relay will pay a $50,000 bounty to Outputlayer for reporting the issue and will automatically compensate affected users without the need for applications; funds will be directly sent to wallets, with a total compensation amount of approximately $312,000.Jason Maier stated that MEV can arise through public mempool exposure, order detail inference, malicious participation in auctions, or data gaps between service providers, and protecting a single link in the transaction path is not sufficient. He mentioned that the team will continue to enhance the execution quality and privacy of the entire transaction path and called on security researchers to report vulnerabilities when discovered.
