MakerDAO Members Voting on a Safeguard Against BProtocol Flash Loan-Type Attack

Colin Harper

Updated October 30, 2020 at 3:22 p.m.·1 min read

The MakerDAO community is voting Friday on a proposal to change its governance system to harden it against flash loan attacks.
This proposal comes after the team from BProtocol flash borrowed $7 million worth of MKR tokens from derivatives platform dYdX to swing a vote on Maker in its own favor.
MakerDAO’s MKR token is required to vote on changes to the DeFi platform.
According to a MakerDAO forum post, the proposed fix extends the delay between a proposal’s passing and its implementation from 12 hours to 72 hours, which would give the community enough time to review and veto an unfair vote.
Additionally, the proposal would also deactivate two modules that allow users to freeze Maker’s liquidation engine and its oracle service.

Trump's three US Supreme Court appointees thrash out immunity claim
When the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately rules on Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity from prosecution, a third of those deciding the matter will be justices he appointed to their lifetime posts. Those three - Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch - posed questions from various angles as the nation's top judicial body heard arguments on Thursday in a case that provides a vital test of the power of the presidency. A key question, Gorsuch said, is "how to segregate private from official conduct that may or may not enjoy some immunity."
