User protection is a core promise of CoW Swap. We are therefore proposing a discretionary grants program so that victims of the April 14 DNS hijacking incident can be made whole as quickly as possible. Proposal details can be found on the CoW DAO forum, here: https://forum.cow.fi/t/cip-draft-discret… Note that because of the high sums involved in the incident, this proposal will need to pass governance to go into effect. Please signal your support or give feedback directly in the forum.
