So it is not in the interest of COMP holders (early investors) for Compound protocol users to be paid in the COMP token?
Some users who were damaged in that event were liquidated positions in Ethereum, which are currently very large losses. Stablecoin compensation covers about 5% of the actual losses for these users. and represents only the good intentions of the community and the fact remains that the affected users were simply unlucky.
Now the question is what can users expect if a similar situation occurs in the future?
To me this looks like a traditional casino and a protocol like Compound does not need such a reputation.
If community members think 8% is fair compensation I will respect that but if the liquidations happened with a DAI price of $ 1.3 do you really think that’s fair compensation?
These are protocol users who are also the owners of part of the protocol (probably according to the ideology used as promotional material) and such decisions will best show what kind of relationship as users we can expect.
