DRIFTDrift Protocol Preço

Victims of the Drift hacker incident on the Solana chain's perpetual contract exchange have initiated claims, with nearly $295.4 million in verified losses corresponding to an initial recovery pool of approximately $3.11 million. Victims can exchange DFX tokens for USDT, with each dollar of loss redeemable for about 1.04 cents at the time of initiation, meaning a loss of $1,000 corresponds to about $10.4. The total supply of DFX is fixed at 299,500,810.998 tokens, with each token corresponding to one verified loss of USDT from the April incident, and no additional tokens will be issued. Holders can choose to burn DFX for USDT, sell on secondary markets like Raydium, or continue holding for claims; completed exchanges are irreversible, and unclaimed tokens will expire after the claims window closes on January 1, 2028. Subsequent funding for the recovery pool includes daily net protocol income from the rebranded exchange Velocity, a commitment of up to 127.5 million USDT from Tether, 20 million USDT pledged by strategic partners, and recovered stolen assets. On the first Friday after claims opened, approximately 216,480 DFX were exchanged for about 2,250 USDT, with the first income transfer from Velocity amounting to 31 USDT; about 13,025.9 ETH is distributed across four Ethereum wallets, with approximately 2,309.4 ETH having passed through Tornado Cash, and around $9.2 million in assets frozen at other addresses.

On July 2, the stablecoin protocol Reflect, supported by a16z, announced the launch of an independent voluntary recovery plan for USDC+ holders affected by the Drift (now Velocity) hacking incident in April. Starting today, a 180-day window is open for holders to voluntarily sell their positions to Palindrome Engineering at a price of 0.20 USDC + 80 Reflect Credits (RC) per unit, with complete on-chain settlement. The plan is funded in advance by Palindrome and is entirely independent of the Drift recovery process. Participants will waive their claims against Drift in exchange for immediate certainty of liquidity; those who do not participate can still support Drift's DFX recovery channel.

On July 1, according to official news, the perpetual contract trading platform Drift announced its official rebranding to Velocity. This brand upgrade aims to reflect the new generation of trading platform architecture that the team is building. They emphasized that in the perpetual contract market, execution speed and directional judgment are crucial. The name 'Velocity' is intended to embody trading speed and market momentum, while also marking the platform's entry into a restart phase. The official statement noted that this renaming also represents a clear demarcation in the product roadmap: the new platform will adopt a clearer system architecture, stronger security infrastructure, and more defined product positioning. Currently, Velocity is advancing its reconstruction efforts and plans to open a private testing version to select partners and traders in the coming days to validate the stability and performance of the new generation of Solana-based perpetual contract trading system.
