Solana Governance Vulnerability Fixed, Did Not Affect Passage of SGP-0002 Proposal
Odaily reports: Blockchain security research firm Asymmetric Research has disclosed that Solana's on-chain governance program svmgov previously had a vulnerability: when validators did not participate in voting, independent votes submitted in advance by their delegators might not be counted in the final results. The vulnerability was reported to the Solana Foundation on July 10 and was fixed on mainnet on August 3, earlier than the governance vote on August 24. Based on on-chain data calculations, Asymmetric Research estimates that if the vulnerability had not been fixed, the approval rate of the SGP-0002 proposal, which aims to accelerate the decline in SOL inflation, could have dropped from the actual 67.00% to 66.65%, below the 66.67% passage threshold. The vulnerability was fixed before the vote and did not actually change the proposal's outcome.

Drift: Receives Support from Tether and Others to Establish a $147.5 Million Recovery Pool for User Compensation
Odaily News Drift announced on its official website that Drift Protocol has received support from Tether and other partners. Tether intends to contribute $127.5 million, while other partners plan to contribute $20 million, collectively supporting user recovery efforts following the April 1st attack. This support package includes a $100 million revenue-linked credit line, ecosystem grants, and loans provided to market makers. Drift will establish a dedicated user recovery pool, aiming to gradually address the $295 million in outstanding user losses as trading revenue grows. Additionally, Drift will issue independent recovery tokens to affected users, which represent a claim on the recovery pool and are transferable. Drift is currently in the process of restarting the protocol, having engaged Ottersec and Asymmetric for audits, and is migrating its settlement layer from USDC to USDT. The previous attack resulted in the theft of assets worth approximately $295 million, while the insurance fund assets remained unaffected.
