Furucombo, a prominent DeFi transaction combination tool, will repay the victims of a current “evil contract” exploit that cost the protocol $15 million in stolen funds. Furucombo has announced that they will circulate “iouCOMBO” tokens to the victims. After an internal call with the concerned users last week, Furucombo issued a compensation plan on Tuesday, advocating that they will give 5 million iouCOMBO tokens to the attack victims. These iouCOMBO tokens will be in the form of ERC-20 tokens and express the right to claim COMBO tokens.
Furucombo will issue five million tokens to the recovery pool out of the 100 million COMBO tokens. These iouCOMBO tokens will possess a 360-day linear-vesting period, commencing from March 1. As per the blog, Furucombo expects to develop and distribute the recovery pool in April after the audits. Furthermore, the team has listed the hacking incident to legal authorities. The firm is cooperating with Certora to receive a full audit and seek a different firm to have audits from two distinct companies.
