Reimbursement Proposal for Affected Partners from Liquidation Incident

Proposal Summary

This proposal seeks DAO approval to reimburse affected partners who incurred losses during the recent liquidation event caused by network fee updates. The incident, which occurred on November 19th, 2024, highlights the need for improved communication, transparency, and operational measures. A reimbursement of the full liquidation amount per eligible cluster is proposed to offset losses and restore partner confidence.

Motivation

The recent liquidation incident exposed deficiencies in the network fee update process, resulting in unforeseen losses for certain partners. While the protocol parameters were followed as intended, insufficient communication and notification of the fee deviation led to liquidations. Addressing these losses through reimbursement reflects the DAO’s commitment to fairness, trust, and collaboration.

By implementing this proposal, the DAO can:

  • Restore the confidence of affected partners.

  • Demonstrate accountability and commitment to improvement.

  • Strengthen relationships within the SSV community and ecosystem.

Proposal Particulars

Objective

To reimburse affected partners for their losses during the liquidation incident and implement safeguards to prevent similar issues in the future.

Scope

Reimburse partners who were liquidated due to the fee deviation on November 19th, 2024, according to this list of transactions as filtered on Etherscan.

Reimbursement Mechanism

Identification of Affected Clusters

On-chain data was captured for the 19th of November after block 21220583, when the network fee was updated, to identify the clusters directly and immediately impacted by the increased network fee. Those entities were filtered using Etherscan and compiled into the list below. As of the posting of this proposal to the ssv.network forum, the ssv.network users can submit their claim if they believe they have been affected. This claim has to contain on-chain blockchain explorer proof that they were affected. If the claim is valid, such user’s addresses will be added to the list of eligible clusters for the final version of the proposal that will move to snapshot. Only the affected clusters reactivated within 7 days of liquidation are considered. Only clusters that meet the established criteria for reimbursement will be approved.

Distribution of SSV Tokens

The Master of Coin will propose a batched transaction to the DAO multi-sig to release the approved reimbursement amount in SSV tokens directly to the cluster owner’s address, ensuring a direct and efficient transfer process. The cluster owner’s address is taken directly from the liquidate() call of the corresponding TX, as recorded in the eligibility list provided.

Hello @sili,
Hello @arjun,

Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. Your clusters have indeed not been listed since the TX that led to liquidations was a bit more convoluted in a bundle and did not show up in simple filtering. We have updated the filter and included your transactions at the end. Please verify.

Thank you!
