Compound ‘Governance Attack' Initiators Agree to Withdraw Proposal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The individuals responsible for a recent “governance attack” on the lending and borrowing protocol, Compound Finance, have consented to withdraw their controversial proposal in favor of an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the opposition of the community, the proposal from the Compound governance voting faction “Golden Boys” narrowly passed on July 28, resulting in accusations of a governance attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of Proposal 289 was to establish a sealed “goldCOMP” token and treasury using 499,000 COMP tokens, valued at approximately $25 million. This token was intended to generate passive income for COMP holders but could be invested at the Golden Boys' discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, it seems that a member of the “Golden Boys,” who goes by the pseudonym “Humpy,” has consented to rescind the controversial proposal in favor of a new one as of July 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryan Colligan, the CEO of AlphaGrowth's Compound growth team, posted a proposition on July 30. The two have reached an agreement at the request of Humpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colligan stated that the new proposal is for a new staking product that addresses the Golden Boys' interests without compromising the Compound DAO<\/a>‘s governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new proposal recommends distributing 30% of existing and upcoming market reserves to COMP stakers \u2014 based on the amount they stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It stated, \u201cThe Compound Growth Program, with backing from major delegates in the Compound community, will execute on the commitments, given the immediate cancellation of Proposal 289.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHumpy\u201d replied to the proposal in the comments section, saying, \u201cI fully approve this message.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other large Compound stakeholders, such as blockchain service<\/a> provider Gauntlet and WintermuteGovernance, also responded that it \u201csupports exploring a Compound staking product.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are pleased to see this issue nearing a reasonable closure and greatly appreciate the participation of all delegates in resolving this matter,\u201d added Consensys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CoinGecko, the native token of the DeFi protocol, COMP, has surged by 6% in the past 12 hours and is currently trading at $51.55, following the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, it has been severely impacted in recent years, and it is currently down 94% from its all-time high of $910 in May 2021, as is the case with the majority of DeFi tokens\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
