dYdX Proposes $462K Compensation for Users Affected by October Outage
The DYDX community is reviewing a compensation proposal totaling $462,097.79 for traders impacted by a chain halt on October 10. The incident, triggered by a rare technical edge case during extreme market volatility, resulted in 27 verified claims.
Funds will be drawn from the protocol's $16.2 million insurance pool. While no on-chain losses occurred, users faced liquidations and erroneous trades during the outage. The Cosmos-based exchange has completed its post-mortem, attributing the disruption to an isolated market configuration bug.
