**Introduction** In response to the Horizon bridge incident, a group of community members formed to discuss creative solutions. During this process, the discussion expanded to additional community members, validator stakeholders, ecosystem developers, ecosystem partners, outside counsel, and financial industry advisors to constitute the Recovery One Foundation. Recovery One continued to expand the discussion to the entire ecosystem and sought new suggestions, ideas, solutions, and proposals for the bridge incident. That greater ecosystem collaboration and public review further strengthened Recovery One’s community proposal and made the solution more dynamic. Recovery One is ready to take **action**. ![R1 logo](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/harmony1/original/2X/c/c20c88b65af05c3c9351d3498c6b0ba405d51c20.jpeg) **Governance** An official vote coming September 2022. **Mission** The recovery of depegged assets, and the strengthening of the Harmony ecosystem through a community-governed action. **Purpose** The structure promotes collaborative action. Committee members 1) create proposals with community input and facilitate discussions and initiate the voting process with its members 2) provide grants to take on problems and build solutions. **Membership** A smart contract enables users to stake their depegged tokens for governance tokens (rONE) and unstake to receive depegged tokens by burning governance tokens. **Structure** 1. Steering Committee (5 members) - responsible for taking ideas and turn to proposals, and approving grants. 2. Grantees - contract to build, market, and engage with the community. 3. Active members - actively engage by providing proposal feedback, and ideas, disseminating to the community, and voting. 4. Non-active members - own governance token but do not vote. **Steering committee** - Quoc Le (Chair) / Harmony contributor, ex-founder DeFI, and 20 yrs experience in tech. - Matthew Barrett (Co-chair) / Harmony community member, Web2 founder, business development, finance. - Logan / Harmony Villains validator, experienced in OSInt, Business, and Reporting. - Michael Otis / [Fuzz.fi](http://Fuzz.fi) - [open] / Defi partner **Members Voting** Every proposal starts with an idea, which is vetted with a committee member who can be a sponsor. The job of the sponsor is to help you present the plan in a well-formed language, validate the data & assumptions, in order to move it toward the proposal. The proposal is discussed with the community and further developed with the committee guidance. Then the proposal is made public for discussion and if no major issues arise, the date of the voting is announced. The proposal is posted on a snapshot for voting. **Contract Specifications** Staking is similar to Defi staking for LP. In this case, your LP is your governance token. Voting is done via snapshot. > **[Recovery-One](https://github.com/Recovery-One)** > > Recovery-One has one repository available. Follow their code on GitHub. **Funding** Future funding will be derived from the management fee for the recovery. **What’s next?** 1. Release sections of the proposal. 2. Release the full proposal. 3. Make the contract available. 4. Convert depegged assets. (Stake rONE to vote). 5. Move for a vote. **How to get involved?** We need your help in sharing our effort and inspiring new members, and collaborators to join… **Reach out to any of our committee members below:** Mathew Telegram: Telegram: @mattbarrett Logan/Pioneer Telegram: @HarmonyPioneer/ Twitter @HarmonyVillains Quoc Telegram: @cryptoQuoc Jack Telegram: @jacksteroo **Socials** Join our Twitter: [https://twitter.com/recoveryonefdn](https://twitter.com/recoveryonefdn) Join our Telegram: [Telegram: Contact @recoveryone](https://t.me/recoveryone) ---

[_UPDATE: I no longer support R1 as currently proposed. But will again support the plan if the linked concern below is properly addressed._ _[Recovery One Foundation - #55 by TrickLuhDaKidz](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-foundation/21455/55)_] * * * I support R1. * * * Unfortunately there is no “_perfect_” solution. That’s impossible. But R1 is a good solution; our best solution. * * * I know people dislike the notion of minting additional ONE, but all of the “leftover” ONE will be burned at the end of this. And additional components like using a portion of validator staking fees, transaction fees, the nft auction house, etc., will all increase the amount of ONE that will be burned in the end. I think when the recovery play is over, the final amount of newly minted ONE in the ecosystem will be substantially smaller than what R1 is proposing. I also know many are upset at @stse and @lij for their abdication of responsibility of this entire ordeal and for failing to proffer a reasonable recovery plan. **I’m right there with you.** But blocking R1 as a statement/retaliation against those two would only further hurt ourselves imo: the community cutting off its nose to spite its face. I’m voting **for** my chance to recoup the financial losses I’ve endured - that we’ve all endured. * * * If R1 isn’t approved by the community, I believe there will be **no** reimbursement at all. This is it. I think this is our best and last chance. We need to be practical and start making tangible progress towards a recovery. Enough _talking_ and indecision. Without a plan to improve unpegged assets and defi on Harmony, there is no Harmony. ---

I don’t support R1. Harmony team (i.e., @stse and @lij) should own and lead the recovery plan. Under its original reimbursement proposal, Harmony team owns and leads the recovery plan. For continuity, as long as Harmony team exists, the Harmony-owned-and-lead recovery plan will keep continuing. The current governance team members for R1 proposal were not selected and/or voted to represent Harmony ONE holders and/or the affected wallets. In the future, they (i.e., the current or future governance team members) can possibly join or leave, request more money, etc. There could possibly be risks that the governance team under R1 proposal could hold the recovery plan hostage if the demand from the governance team is not met. Or, worst, the R1 recovery plan could eventually be abandoned. IMHO, the recovery plan should include sharing risks equally between Harmony team and ONE investors, at such, the Harmony team’s original reimbursement proposal be modified to include using treasury fund. The reimbursement to affected wallets is to be replenished over 3 years so, similarly, the treasury fund will be replenished over 3 years. Unlike R1 recovery plan, Harmony team’s original reimbursement proposals do not waste treasury fund. No fees are incurred and no grants are given out under Harmony team’s original reimbursement proposals. New token and its associated processes in R1 recovery plan make it more complex to ONE holders and are subject to unforeseen risks and/or circumstances. Thank you. ---

The Core teams first plan was so bad. It was massive inflation with a touch of take it or leave it. So bad. It lacked innovation and vision. The plan felt like the chain die and lost any sense of innovation. IMO Recovery One’s work and plan breaths life and the idea of community back into the chain. We want innovation. Not a lack of creativity. Print billions of ONE. If Harmony ever released another plan it would be the opposite. I can see it, the next plan will magically make ONE disappear. ---

**Community Proposal** **by Recovery One** **Introduction** In response to the Horizon bridge incident, a group of community members formed to discuss creative solutions. During this process, the discussion expanded to additional community members, validator stakeholders, ecosystem developers, ecosystem partners, outside counsel, and financial industry advisors to constitute the Recovery One Foundation. Recovery One continued to expand the discussion to the entire ecosystem and sought new suggestions, ideas, solutions, and proposals for the bridge incident. That greater ecosystem collaboration and public review further strengthened Recovery One’s community proposal and made the solution more dynamic. Recovery One. The governance foundation represents depegged token holders and the Harmony community. Our mission is the recovery of depegged assets and strengthening of the Harmony ecosystem through community-governed action. The Recovery One community proposal is made up of Commitments to the Community and the Recovery Token. **Commitments to the Community** Below is the list of commitments to the community that validators, developers, ecosystem partners, and the 16 community proposals are seeking from Harmony. We ask that the Harmony foundation accept; - Commitment to a long-term working relationship with Recovery One Fdn. - Commitment to gather roadmap feedback from Recovery One Fdn. - Commitment to release a State of Treasury summary and to maintain a transparent and secure treasury. - Commitment that bridges be non-custodial. - Commitment to BAYC and use those resources for ecosystem growth. **The Recovery Token** The proposed solution offers depegged tokens in exchange for rONE tokens, which the user can redeem on a smart contract for the full value in $ONE at the end of three years, and earn 15% returns as staking rewards in $ONE for the same period. The impact to the total supply is 2.5Bil tokens including the 700M paid for staking rewards. The solution is the best tradeoff in returning the user full value while preserving the Harmony treasury for future growth. In the first 30 days, the solution proposes a $3M exit liquidity (at market price) for those who choose to exit early. We commit to burning any unused $ONE tokens during/ after the recovery process. **rONE’s Mechanics** A smart contract has been created to accept depegged tokens in exchange for a Recovery token, rONE. Anyone can deposit bridged assets and mint (rONE) tokens. The rONE mint contract will close in 1 year, and the staking period will last 3 years from the initial mint date. - rONE will set bridged assets at 66% (parity). Horizon Bridge incident date of 06/23/2022, ONE at .0264. - The contract is injected with 114M ONE tokens ($3M). rONE holders can initially redeem (50% parity) within 30 days of mint. Limit $1000 per wallet (at 50%). The original wallet address must have an equal amount being redeemed to prevent market manipulation, (eg creating multiple wallets to drain). Must have held depegged assets on, snapshot date of 06/23/2022 and currently hold depeg token. - rONE can trade freely on exchanges. - rONE can be staked for rewards (15% APR) for the next 3 years to receive blockchain emission and gas fees. Minted rONE (not staked) can be traded on exchanges and used in DeFi. - rONE can be redeemed early. Early redemption of rONE will reduce ONE debt to rONE - At the Year 3 Redemption date, users can redeem rONE: ONE at 1:1. Priced at: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vDjI\_rPA28YxjWztVZmNAPaf-ueuj7VlcOJq3pmCE4Q/edit#heading=h.mde21uf2e5av](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vDjI_rPA28YxjWztVZmNAPaf-ueuj7VlcOJq3pmCE4Q/edit#heading=h.mde21uf2e5av) **How To Redeem rONE** A smart contract that accepts bridged assets and mints rONE has the following redemption options: - Initial Exit Redemption rONE can redeem (50% parity) within 30 days of the initial mint date. Capped $1000 (pre-incident valuation) in bridged assets per wallet. Provides holders with small sums to exit early, with a snapshot date of 06/23/2022. - Early Redemption Redemption of rONE to ONE before the Year 3 Redemption date will result in partial redemption. Partial redemption from rONE to ONE starts at 33% after 3 months from the initial mint date. This Partial redemption rate increases linearly to 1:1 (rONE to ONE) swap in 3 years. - Year 3 Redemption At the Year 3 Redemption date, users can redeem at 1:1, (rONE: ONE). **rONE Wallet Example** Assume Wallet A has 1000 USDC, and anticipation of rONE has pushed the market price for USDC to 0.20 cents (20% of parity). ONE on 6/23/2022 was .0264. The parity is selected as (66%). Wallet A receives 25,000 rONE (~$660, with rights to receive 25,000 ONE at the end of 3 years while receiving 15% APR rewards). - Primary Exit: At the end of 3 years, Wallet A receives 25,000 (par value) + 11,250 ONE (interests). Depending on market conditions, ONE may be valued more or less. - Secondary Exit: Wallet A exchanges rONE via the HInitial Exit Redemption for 50% within the first 30 days of the initial mint date. - Tertiary Exit: Wallet A sells rONE on the market to another wallet. **rONE Tokenomics & Impact** Blockchain emissions and gas fees will continuously fund the rONE token. - Up front $3M (114M ONE). - 5% are retained for governance. - We can assume participation is around 60% (taking into account some users have exited), and parity at 66%, we will have to mint: $60M x 66% = $39.6M in ONE ( 1.65Bil ONE ) to be released in 3 years. Annual mint and deposit into the rONE contract to smooth out circulating supply and to give rONE value. Mint annually 247M ONE token to pay rONE interest rate. Totaling 741M ONE token. - Total Mint 2,491M ONE **rONE Governance Contracts** Our goal is to implement the full end to end solution as contracts, compound governance, and 100% non-custodial (no owner, no upgrade keys, no dev or admin keys — no keys period!). We have implemented **Phase 1** : Stake/Unstake depegged tokens contract to exchange for rONE — this will be used for voting on the proposal on behalf of the depegged token holders. This has been peer-reviewed by 0xGoten (Tranquil) and others. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/harmony1/original/2X/3/354f45e10821fd75440cdf66d4c7d0340d492c7f.png) **Phase 2** : Focused on Stake/Unstake rONE for 15% annual rewards. **Phase 3** : Focused on Redemption of rONE for ONE which enables it to exit anytime up to the 3 year period. (w/ penalty linear proportion to the time remains on the 3yr term). We will deploy this contract Friday, Sept 16, 2022 9AM EST and provide instructions on how to use it. > **[GitHub - Recovery-One/governance-contracts: Governance token contracts for rONE](https://github.com/Recovery-One/governance-contracts)** > > Governance token contracts for rONE.

First, holders of rONE choose how to use the token in the market and have a choice of when to redeem rONE to ONE. Redemption choices engage the deflationary burn mechanics depreciating the supply of the rONE token (as rONE is redeemed it is burned) and sets in action the burning of ONE token at year 3. The second deflationary aspect of rONE is the deflationary nature of the $100M in unpegged bridged assets. Holders of rONE can choose to wait and recover value with time, or holders can choose to redeem rONE to ONE before year 3 (making the decision to reduce an overall $100M in depegged assets to a lower amount) burning depegged assets at this redemption. rONE’s Redemption Choices - Initial Exit - burns depegged assets, burns rONE. - Early Redemption - burns depegged assets, burns rONE. - Year 3 Redemption - burns depegged assets, burns rONE, burns unallocated ONE staking rewards, and burns ONE allotted from early redemption. - Additional burning utility in future DeFi projects (Defira, R1 LaunchPad)- future rONE and ONE feature. _Why only 66% initial parity?_ At 66% parity, 15% interest rate over 3 years (at set price of bridged incident, that remains constant) brings full 100%. _Why rONE?_ - rONE provides a resolution to depeg by swapping depegged assets and minting rONE tokens. - rONE provides DeFi protocols and exchanges the method to swap depegged assets to rONE. - rONE mechanics and utility provide holders choices on when to redeem for ONE. - The rONE token has deflationary characteristics to offset emissions. - rONE allows DeFi partners to restart DeFi on Harmony using rONE, ONE, native tokens, and new bridged assets. - rONE can be staked to yield 15%. - rONE is liquid and can be traded. - rONE holders gain governance utility and a voting process for future actions by the Recovery One Fdn. - rONE provides the ecosystem with an opportunity to create new dynamic liquidity tokens for the Harmony ecosystem. - rONE can act as a catalyst for DeFi innovation. - rONE is a smart contract-based Protocol Token. - rONE has multi-phase utility. _What is the rONE Use Cases & Utility?_ Phase 1 - The Recovery of Depegged Assets - Traded/speculated on (no staking emission). - Collateralized (no staking emission) via Tranquil and DeFi. - Staking/Potential liquid staking similar to stONE via Tranquil. - Liquidity pools (no staking emission from R1) via DeFi. - Voting (with staking emission). - Delegated voting. Phase 2 - Strengthening of the Harmony Ecosystem - In-game Defira utility for rONE. - rONE Grants - Recovery One community governed action. - R1 LaunchPad (Commitment from Tranquil to build). - Sell tokens in exchange for rONE/ONE LP. - 100% burn rONE and distribute LP fees to staked rONE holders. _Could the SEC consider the rONE token a security?_ Compliance is our foundation priority. Early on, our team spoke with the Harmony Counsel (Fenwick & West LLP), who guided us toward establishing a Recovery One foundation representing a voice, the community of the depegged assets holder. The first step is to build the community of depegged assets by establishing community governance. Then we hold a community vote via a governance token to decide how the community prefers to move forward with the recovery process. Our proposal asks Harmony to donate 2.491 billion ONE tokens to repay back the depegged token holders to the governance contracts. So long, the foundation is acting on the community’s behalf, the governance token is considered as a utility token serving on the behalf of its community. _Why is only 60% participation expected?_ We calculate the emission based on an expected participation. The participation drops off mainly due to the mechanics of the rONE in these ways: 1. Early exit of rONE at $3M / 50% peg (expected $6M debt reduction) 2. Redemption of rONE before the 3 year are penalized (reduce debt/ participation) 3. Many depegged tokens have already exited Harmony ecosystem 4. Some users are unable (lost wallet/hacked) or unwilling to participate with rONE If participation is higher than expected, then redemption will be provided on first come first serve basis. ---

Although I was initially skeptical, I fully support this and think the group have done a great job putting it together. I’m hoping it passes the validator vote and I’m interested to see what rONE trades at. ---

I am against the proposal. Stephen’s was 2.5B in inflation, victims got it all. This is 2.5B in inflation, victims get 5% less, don’t get the bulk of it until the end after it unlocks in 3 years and take all the risk of the chain surviving and rONE working or they will end up with less if the experiment fails. As you can see before, **I was and am against the same exact 2.5B inflation with a 5% cut going to this.** As to where exactly these funds are going, the transparency has gotten worse. Now the 5% is not described in anyway where those funds will go. 125M ONE unaccounted for that could pay people back. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/162): > > Harmony originally proposed printing billions of tokens to reimburse over 3 years. The community absolutely rejected it overwhelmingly because they didn’t want ONE holders to bear responsibility for the hack. It included nothing from the Treasury and the entire hack was reimbursed through printing ONE. No one supported it. > > In comes the Recovery One team. And where are we now? Printing billions again, but this time paying 5% of the entire inflation supply to Recovery One of course. Only to find out later that their own proposal, the R1 “official” proposal is THE SAME EXACT inflation proposal regurgitated only this time, 5% is siphoned to this thereafter for liquidity, launchpads and grants and whatever else they plan to do which SHOULD go to the victim. There’s nothing worthwhile that’s new here other than undisclosed partners receiving massive funds to fund their own development. **The process has been hijacked** and it only resulted in a worse deal for those hacked. The inflation hasn’t changed, just how much is spent on this when it could pay people back. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/167): > > So what’s new here? Other than them getting 5% of the printed inflation? How is it different than harmony’s original proposal? Why give them 5% to regurgitate the same thing? Why not use that to reimburse the victims? What’s the point of Recovery One if all they ultimately did was put forward the proposal Harmony already suggested (sans the 5% fee they are attempting to siphon off) I disagree they should make a whole new grant system and mooncoin launchpad when the first grant system wasted a significant amount of Treasury funds and this isn’t some degen trading fund. Now this is an **unaccountable new grant process** and _waste of money_ which should not be used to divert funds further from victims. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/177): > > The maximum should go directly to the wallets Harmony already identified as impacted by the hack as soon as possible. Not millions of dollars in ONE for liquidity pools and staking and grants and everything else that’s getting added into this by the Recovery One team. Harmony gave out enough failed grants. Its time to pay back the users and move on from this. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/266): > > Sounds like you are claiming this to be some kind of ancillary grant process? Hasn’t Harmony given out enough grants and the process was rife with fraud and mismanagement whereby millions of the treasury were given away to DAOs, failed projects and generally anyone that asked for it? Are you proposing that this is becoming some kind of new grant program in addition to Harmony’s ecosystem grants? Why do we need a new grant program and why are you using a percentage of the victim’s compensation and inflation that no one wanted to fund this grant program? How much will you allocate to the new grant fund? Will this not lower the amount of exit liquidity and make the peg even harder to defend? > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/303): > > There’s a huge difference in how the ONE is allocated. Because each ONE allocated to million dollar grants for Tranquil or others to support its own development or extra liquidity **doesn’t go to the victims** unless they effectively go “all in” on rONE which it seems they pretty much would do under these terms. If there was no rONE and no Tranquil grant, there’s an additional few million dollars to go towards those who were impacted. It _should go to those who lost money_ directly and not to more grants. Tranquil should just apply for its own partnership grant. Why go about it this way to dilute what’s available to reimburse people? That’s significantly expensive utility but if they are going to restructure the entire lending platform around it, I guess its potentially viable but still a pretty serious gamble that it works and many other platforms are going to need grants at the expense of total reimbursement amounts available. I don’t think they should receive a 5% of the victims funds to try this defi experiment and **add more risk** to the victims. No projects should be funding their own development out of this when people are not getting paid back in full. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/199): > > Furthermore, it adds in the additional risk that rONE itself fails even if ONE does reasonably well and it appears the users are being forced to accept redemption in rONE or **receive nothing.** > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/218): > > There’s not a single Defi primitive on earth that was successful in recent times including billions behind them defending “utility.” How much of the suggested funds will be used for liquidity as opposed to going to partnerships, grants and to defend your DeFi utility idea? You’ve said “dynamic utility” a few times without elaborating on any specifics other than a broad list of common DeFi primitives that have already failed. I think we are beyond the point of buzz words. Many assumptions made in the proposal have included APRs that assume price stability of the rONE token itself and how will this be ensured. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/251): > > Its also based on the success of the investments and allocation of the 5% (125M ONE) and if that does not work, this could completely fail and it will not solve the problem. I fail to understand why you assume your grand golden goose utility is going to work. There is simply no reason to take that kind of risk right now at the expense of those still waiting for answers. Not only does crypto and Harmony need to survive, but whatever “integration” you spent the millions on better work or its lights out for us until the end of the 3 year period, correct? If rONE doesn’t work, **victims may have to wait 3 years to get the lionshare of their compensation** (66% of compensation in locked ONE) at the end of an unlock **where a massive amount of tokens could simultaneously come unlocked towards the end of Harmony’s runway.** > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/241): > > But it doesn’t much matter because its a fairy tale to think it will maintain peg or any long-term value at all because some random forum guy had an idea about DeFi one day that he can’t even articulate. The victims take on all the risk of this pipe dream and hopefully make it to the end where they get 1:1 ONE in three years. To add insult to injury, the victims will be holding the bag again. Wen rONE recovery plan? I hope this back of the napkin DeFi utility works guys. Otherwise, see you in 3 years. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/337): > > That’s another massive assumption here is that ONE will even maintain $0.0264 by the time that event hits. Its not fair to consider the R1 proposal is a guaranteed 66% parity value in 3 years. That’s actually a significant risk as well that it even maintains $0.026 with only 3 years of runway. That could very easily result in sub-$0.01 ONE when the victims finally get it which could reduce the parity received under the R1 plan **below 50%** after all is said and done with the same inflation. Its shifting all the risk onto them to wait. And everyone else knows the billions of ONE are coming unlocked. We all know what happens in that situation with Jewel, Viper, you name it. You really think people won’t sell before they know billions will come unlocked? People track unlock day like clockwork obviously. So now the affected users wait until that day and they better hope ONE is anywhere near $0.026. Under Stephen’s proposal, they get that ONE starting now and can already go stake it for 10+% which only secures the network. Everybody needs to rally behind ONE because it will increase 1) victim’s compensation, 2) validator rewards, 3) treasury cash impact, 4) grant funds available, 5) happy hodlers making money, and on and on and on. Incentivize ONE with everything. This is off target. Yes, they can rage quit and take whatever that amounts to but again, I think that will result in a death spiral. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/342): > > The ONE for 66% compensation, its locked. And the 66% is based on maintaining a $0.0264 price by that unlock date in 3 years. Harmony only has 3 years of runway and everyone will know of this unlock so there’s legtimate headwinds. Stephens Proposal will pay ONE monthly starting now so while users still have exposure to ONE’s price, its not at the end of the 3 year runway with potentially billions unlocking on the same day for a rush to the exit to maintain this 66% parity. Its a misleading figure. **The rONE Plan has Significant Leakage to Unaffected Wallets** > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/344): > > Even though there is a smart barrier to redemption, **users can buy depegged assets and mint rONE to sell at a profit which were not affected by the hack, correct?** This is stated as one of your goals, attempting to repeg these assets. By trying to “repeg” its simply providing this limited exit liquidity to traders and subjecting the pool to even more selling pressure than real hack victims, right? So its a worse use of $5M than sweetening the pot of Stephen’s. Anyone can mint rONE and sell it at $0.30 on the dollar and the algorithm will print more rONE to maintain this so long as depegged assets trade under that amount in DeFi even though they cannot redeem it under a penalty withdrawal? > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/350): > > The Tranquil Proposal had this in there so at least $1M of this was proposed for that. Giving any smart speculator who never even got hacked but buys under $0.30 on the dollar a triple up in ONE selling rONE minted. The liquidity pool proposal here was from Harmony’s Treasury to pay for those profitable trades? Not even going to help the victims at all who have held all the way down to $0.10 on the dollar waiting. **rONE Adds Risk of Loss to Victims Based on Unexplained Price of rONE in Liquidity Pools v. Minting Price** > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/364): > > What are they supposed to do if they mint early before the liquidity is balanced out? Assuming the rONE minting contract will base each users token amount when minting on the rONE price in the liquidity pool. If a user who lost $1,000 mints rONE before the arbitrage and receives “$300” in rONE at $0.01 they would receive 30,000 rONE and it subsequently drops in this liquidity pool to $0.005 **they only actually now have $150 in USD purchase power**. And they can’t get out other than realizing this loss furthering the downward price spiral by swapping out of it or redeem (death spiral). Add rage quitters into this and it could get ugly. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/362): > > If 30% of the parity value only is redeemed for approximately 10% of the parity value under the early unlock through the 33% redemption window and the ONE price is something like $0.02 at unlock, it would not amount to a 50% reimbursement. It would be 10% parity value from the early redemption and the locked one is forfeited, right? So the only way it would be better is if the following assumptions hold 1) the rONE price is maintained so that when a user mints 30% parity value, they do not lose value by holding, and hold the entire 3 years and 2) ONE price is higher than $0.0264 when unlock happens. Of course if they mint and rONE price goes parabolic, they could be totally reimbursed from this alone by selling it or redeeming it. It just depends almost entirely on prices. > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/362): > > Without these pools, rONE will only be exitable through the redemption process at a 50% haircut for the first month or additional 67% hair cut for most people after the first month (unless they wait for the linear penalty model to increase) through redemption. So they can’t really get out without a huge haircut and this forfeits their locked ONE. So a person taking early redemption is only going to get close to 15% parity (50% redemption in the first month if they met the snapshot) value or even 10% parity value (33% redemption after the first month until it increases towards the 3 years). So in that scenario, how is it you are so certain it is better? **Alternative Proposal** > [@Recovery One - Community governance for depegged tokens](https://talk.harmony.one/t/recovery-one-community-governance-for-depegged-tokens/21104/276): > > We need to come to terms with Stephen Tse 1.0 and if they could just absolutely maximize the treasury utilization with 100% of all funds (the inflation, treasury allocation, and anything else that can be included such as a BAYC auction) will go to improve Stephen’s proposal.

I found Harmony through cheeky crypto. They mentioned how great the harmony community is. Recover ONE group has done a good job. I went back & read ur comments. You are against community proposals & show support for the core idea. Last week in discord i read Core anons are against the community ideas & want to stop their input. I think this plan is good & comprehensive. In the end if harmony fails to grow & lead all plans fail. ---

As this proposal stands, **we are still AGAINST it**. **Why?** 1. instead of quickly reimbursing the victims, it makes them take a risky gamble with what were initially their stable and blue chip coins 2. on a duration totally disconnected from the reality of the crypto sphere 3. that the victims are the only ones to bear 4. while having to pay the authors of this risky arrangement 5% of their own money 5. **a proposal that does not improve S.Tse’s initial proposal** and that only substitutes a volatile shell for a stable coin, betting on a hypothetical rise, itself based on mechanisms that have already proven their inefficiency in the DeFi Therefore, we are willing to accept this proposal **only if the following variables are applied** , in order to **minimize the risk and accelerate the recovery of depegged assets and of the whole Harmony eco-system**. 1.
