The Drift Foundation opened claims for its DFX recovery token on October 1, 2026, allowing victims of the April 1, 2026 exploit to claim one DFX per dollar of verified loss, with a deadline of January 1, 2028. The exploit drained approximately $295.4 million from the Solana-based protocol, while the recovery pool started with only $3.8 million in protocol assets. The foundation is counting on several sources to close the gap, including anticipated support from Tether of up to $127.5 million, $20 million from partners, and $9.2 million in frozen assets. Users who miss the January 1, 2028 deadline will forfeit their claims entirely, as any unclaimed DFX will be burned. The attack has been attributed to a North Korean-affiliated group that used social engineering combined with a nonce attack on the protocol’s multi-signature setup.
