Paying Claims for the CREAM V1 Exploit

A total of 59 ETH and 80,000 DAI ($352,543.42) was paid out to cover holders including the Claim 102 payout from the Community Fund.

Snapshot Vote for Claim 102: Approved by Members

After the CREAM v1 exploit, there was one member who filed a claim for 500 ETH that did not meet the 20% or greater loss requirement. Claim 102 was submitted with proof of loss, but with the loss of only 10 ETH, which is only 2% of the covered amount.

Since the mutual does not have the ability to pay partial claims, members put a payout to a Snapshot vote, where assets from the Community Fund would be used to compensate the member who filed Claim 102.

This vote showcased the power of the mutual’s discretionary cover. When members suffer genuine losses, members protect members. You can read the Snapshot proposal for more information:
