Drift Opens DFX Recovery Claims with Initial Payouts at 1%

The Drift Foundation has opened DFX recovery claims for victims of its April 1 exploit. The initial payouts are near 1% of verified losses, with approximately 3.11 million USDT available.

The claim window closes on January 1, 2028, when unclaimed DFX tokens will be burned. Eligible wallets receive one DFX token for each USDT of verified losses from the exploit.

The recovery funding includes Velocity revenue, Tether support, partner capital, and any recovered stolen assets. The initial redemptions pay about $0.0104 per DFX token, with redeemed tokens permanently burned.
