In brief
- A DAO proposal is seeking to reimburse $768,026 in USDC to affected users.
- But victims must submit KYC and law enforcement reports.
- The vote currently stands at 53.47% in favor, 46.53% against.
The 1inch Foundation has submitted a new proposal to its decentralized autonomous organization to compensate users affected by an October 2024 exploit.
The proposal, dubbed 1IP-80, outlines a reimbursement plan of $768,026 in USDC—the estimated value of the stolen tokens at the time of the attack—to be sourced from the DAO’s treasury.
The DeFi DEX aggregatir Foundation would oversee the verification and distribution process, requiring victims to complete Know Your Customer identity verification, provide evidence of losses, file a report with law enforcement, and sign a compensation agreement.
It did not specify precisely what KYC would be required. 1inch does not require users to complete a KYC process to trade on its platform, making it a popular choice for those who prefer not to use centralized exchanges that have this requirement.
Animation Tool Lottie Player Hit by Supply Chain Attack, Causes $723K Bitcoin Theft
A major security breach has impacted multiple decentralized applications (dApps), with the attack stemming from malicious code injected into Lottie Player, a widely-used JavaScript animation library. The attack exploited recent updates to Lottie Player’s npm package, specifically in versions 2.0.5 through 2.0.7, where hackers embedded malicious code within JSON files that display animations on websites. At least one individual has lost 10 BTC (US$723,000) after unknowingly signing a phishing t...
A case is currently under investigation in the Canary Islands, whereby victims would also need to waive their right to any funds recovered in the future.
An exploit occurred on October 30 last year, when attackers compromised the 1inch decentralized application via a supply chain vulnerability in the Lottie Player library, a plugin used for animations on websites.
Unlike the more recent $5 million breach of 1inch in March 2025, which saw the return of most funds through negotiations with the hacker, no restitution was previously made in the October case.
Under the proposal, the DAO would transfer the funds to the Foundation, which would process claims and disburse compensation. Victims would be required to forfeit any rights to recovered assets, which would instead be returned to the DAO treasury.
