Dear Community,

I'm presenting a proposal that will define a critical aspect of our community's identity and approach to collective responsibility.

Before delving into the specifics, I wish to take a moment to extend my sincere gratitude to each community member who dedicated their time and effort to unravel the intricacies of this unfortunate hack. Your diligence ensures that all claims are verifiable and that we can proceed with a clear understanding of the facts. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to transparency and justice within our community.

Proposal:

Summary:

On August 30th, 2023, our community faced a dire challenge when Lior Rutherberg, SSV's Core Team CTO, became the target of a cyberattack, leading to his Discord account's compromise. For over seven-plus hours, our Discord server unintentionally spread fraudulent links for token claims and airdrops, deceiving community members and causing significant financial loss.

This proposal is presented to ensure that SSV DAO takes a stance on the consequences stemming from the Discord hack—namely, whether to compensate the victims of this incident. The choice before us is not merely practical but a profound reflection of our values and the future we envision for our community, much like the precedent set by the Galxe community (which continued to grew) following their own security breach.

Mechanics of Vote:

For: Refund the Victims
    SSV DAO to transfer 14.9 ETH to 0xD50D5C19aD6d57b9f3a5490b5d9769e90B521E3b
    SSV DAO to transfer 5.204 ETH to 0x644cebcb9e7ee0f753369caebdcde2b12eaff476

Against / Abstain : Do Not Refund the Victims
    No further action will be pursued.

Detailed Mechanics:

• These transactions occurred during the period when the SSV Core Team's control over the Discord was compromised.
• A thorough verification has ascertained the authenticity of the affected accounts and designated them as victims.
• Compensation amounts are based on the liquidation values of not just ETH but other tokens as well, translated into ETH at the Date Of Trade prices.
• The extensive discourse and verification process have been meticulously documented in our forum threads, open for community scrutiny.

Conclusion:

This decision extends beyond monetary implications; it's a declaration of our community's image. The path we choose now will set a standard for how SSV DAO manages its accountability, safeguards its community, and upholds the trust our community places in it. Today’s decision will certainly resonate far beyond this moment, setting a precedent for our collective ethos and actions.

I encourage every member to actively participate in this pivotal vote. Your voice will define the course of our community.

Many thanks, tx_reverted
