CoW DAO don approve compensation for cow.fi hijack victims thru discretionary grants

CoW DAO don approve governance-backed discretionary grants programme (CIP-86) for people wey suffer when dem hijack cow.fi domain for April. People wey qualify fit collect up to 100% of verified losses, dem suppose submit claims by May 14 and dem wan try pay by May 31. The cow.fi matter na off-chain supply-chain attack: attackers use social engineering for registrar Gandi SAS make dem briefly control cow.fi DNS for about 4.5 hours. People de redirect go phishing UI wey mimic CoW Swap and make wallets sign bad approvals. Project estimate say losses near $1.2m, mostly USDC and other tokens. CoW DAO talk say CoW Protocol smart contracts and backend no get breach — e happen "entirely at the domain registrar layer." The grants na voluntary "goodwill" wey come from Legal Defense Reserve, no mean dem admit legal liability, and DAO fit still choose to pursue third-party action. For traders, the cow.fi update reduce immediate worry about CoW Swap smart-contract risk, but e still show registrar/DNS phishing fit cause wallet-level damage. Expect short-term FUD relief, but people go still focus to verify front-ends and transaction approvals.
