7-Day Wait for Vote to Fix Compound CETH Market Bricked By Update

A recent governance proposal to update the pricing feeds of Compound, a decentralized lending platform, was hampered by a programming error.

Although the Compound ETH (cETH) market has "temporarily halted" due to the coding fault, Compound Labs assured users that their money is not in danger right away despite the front end's malfunction.

On August 31, Compound Labs revealed that the code error originated from Proposal 117: Compound Oracle Upgrade v3, which had just been put into place to upgrade the oracle contracts on the Compound protocol to a new version that uses Uniswap V3 rather than V2 for price feeds.

Compound Labs stated that it intended to use Proposal 119: Oracle Update to return to the prior price feed in response to the cETH market briefly freezing.

Despite being created less than an hour after Proposal 117 was carried out, the new proposal must now go through a seven-day governance process before it can go into effect.

According to an update from OpenZeppelin Security Solutions Architect Michael Lewellen, the "getUnderlyingPrice" method contained a problem that resulted in empty bytes being returned and the call being reverted because it failed to update the price of cETH tokens.

Lewellen added that no money is in jeopardy:

Initial coin offerings (ICOs) would be permitted under the Digital Assets Framework Act, the South Korean central bank has said, according to a local news report.

The new governance approach will address the current main problem, which is a brief denial of service for the cETH market.

There are currently no funds at risk. All of V3 and the remaining cToken marketplaces on Compound V2 are still operational.

Lewellen did add, though, that "any users that deposited ETH and acquired cETH for starting borrow positions must be informed that they might get promptly liquidated whenever the fix proposal occurs if by that point the price of ETH has plummeted significantly."

However, Robert Leshner, the CEO of Compound Labs, also said that customers could still pay off any debt and provide security to prevent liquidation.

Compound Labs revealed that despite the Oracle contract having through three independent smart contract audits, including most recently by OpenZeppelin and ChainSecurity, the coding problem persisted.

With 696,665 votes cast for the price feed improvement across 245 different wallet addresses, proposal 117 itself didn't seem to be a contentious one.

The proposal received the highest votes (306,146) in support from the cryptocurrency investment company Polychain Capital.

With $2.67 billion in total value locked up, Compound is the third-largest decentralized lending network, according to DeFi Llama (TVL).

The price of the COMP token, which is presently trading at $48.27, has not yet changed as a result of the announcement.

Argentina's world cup coincides once more with a period of severe inflation.

As the Argentina team prepares for Sunday's World Cup final, Bloomberg reported that the country's annual inflation rate is expected to exceed 99.9% this month, and economists anticipate it will shortly surpass 100. Inflation averaged 116% in 1986, the year Diego Maradona led the Albiceleste to victory. According to central bank figures and surveys, the inflation rate in 1978, when Argentina won the tournament it hosted, was 176%. Lionel Messi, who was born a year after the 1986 triumph and is regarded by fans as the heir to Diego Maradona's legendary status, will make his final World Cup appearance against France on Sunday. Invigorated by their talisman, the team's run to the last match — from averting early elimination to racking up five consecutive victories — has thrilled a nation once again experiencing difficult economic times. However, this continuous economic characteristic of the country is not indicative of the country's World Cup performance. In 1990, hyp...

Explosions heard in the Ukrainian capital; deployment of emergency teams

Three explosions were heard in the center of Kiev as the Ukrainian government claimed to have shot down multiple Iranian-made Shahed drones. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that ten Shahed drones had been shot down by Ukraine's air defenses, and that emergency services had been deployed to the Shevchenkovskyi neighborhood in the city's center. "More information to come," he wrote on his Telegram channel. There was no way to independently confirm Klitschko's assertion. Ukrainian politician Oleksiy Goncharenko tweeted that he heard three explosions at 6:30 a.m. local time (04:30 GMT). The air-raid alert sounded at 5:55 a.m. (03:55 GMT), and inhabitants are advised to remain in shelters until further notice. "Ukrainians are not awakened by alarm clocks but by explosives," Goncharenko wrote. "Thanks to Russia, our neighbor! "Good morning, everyone!" Kyiv Oblast governor Oleksiy Kuleba stated that air defense systems were activated and "st...
