🚨 A smart contract issue was reported to the Moonbeam Foundation that enabled a user to withdraw an improper amount of USDC from Moonbeam. We are happy to report that the improperly moved funds have been returned thanks to the work of Moonbeam community members.

The vulnerable contracts have been paused to prevent exploits. S/O to the Multichain & Equilibrium teams for identifying the incident and working together to resolve it. Extreme thanks to Ron Brown for his assistance in helping to remedy the issue. The owners of the affected smart contracts are working on upgrades to unpause and resume normal operation. The issue did not affect Moonriver.

It’s collaborations like this, where folks from across the community come together to find successful resolutions, that make the Moonbeam community so incredible. 🙌

Referendum 3️⃣ for creation of the Technical Committee, as part of OpenGov on Moonriver, is up to vote! Committee consists of members with technical knowledge of Moonriver/Moonbeam & has power to whitelist proposals on the WL track.

🗳️ Vote: https://moonriver.polkassembly.network/referenda/3

The Technical Committee serves to help make well-informed decisions on a technical basis. It also helps safeguard the network in the case a proposal moves to referendum that is not technically sound, or there is an immediate need for a network upgrade that must be fast-tracked. Members of the committee are subject to governance and can be added or removed from through governance in the Root Track.

📖 Learn more about the TC’s role in governance: https://moonbeam.network/announcements/opengov-moonriver/
