🧯 Recovery Depends on More Than Reopening the Protocol
Drift reported that approximately $295 million in user losses remained outstanding following its exploit.
Its recovery framework included up to $127.5 million in support from Tether, approximately $20 million from partners and a $100 million revenue-linked credit facility. Drift also proposed a separate recovery token for affected users rather than using the existing DRIFT governance token for the same purpose.
That separation is important.
A recovery token represents a claim connected to recovery resources or future repayments. DRIFT represents governance and broader ecosystem exposure. Treating them as interchangeable could obscure the different risks held by each group.
The recovery plan should be judged through claim transparency, enforceable funding, repayment progress and demonstrated security improvements—not relaunch speed alone.
If repayment relies partly on future business revenue, affected users remain exposed to execution risk and the protocol’s operating performance.
The next evidence should include completed audits, funded recovery pools, repayment cadence and changes to the settlement architecture.
