🔈 Stream Recovery Update: ~$1.49M USDC has been repaid to the xUSD/USDC Arbitrum market, which enabled many users to withdraw part of their funds, primarily through the Varlamore vault. We thank the borrower for making the repayment, and we remain committed to helping users recover as much as possible. Track progress 👇





We acknowledge the community’s concerns and share the frustration caused by the Stream and Stable Labs incidents. However, several points in your letter require clarification: 1️⃣ Protocol Design Silo’s lending markets are immutable and permissionless, much like Uniswap pools. The DAO cannot control, pause, or conduct economic reviews of collateral assets. Stream Finance and Stable Labs are independent issuers — they alone bear responsibility for their assets’ failure. Like all DeFi protocols, Silo depends on external oracles, issuer redemption mechanisms, and DEX liquidity. These are the known and disclosed sources of risk. 2️⃣ Root Cause Liquidations failed because Stream and Stable Labs unilaterally disabled redemptions of their tokens, freezing liquidity. Silo’s liquidations are open to all; the core team attempted to execute them immediately once the issue was identified. However, the issuers’ redemption lock made liquidation technically impossible. 3️⃣ Transparency & Legal Action Silo has published a verified registry of affected lenders to preserve on-chain evidence and support restitution: 🔗 Full announcement: silofinance.medium.com/19c6b1f13a5b The DAO has also initiated legal proceedings against Stream and Stable Labs — the first protocol to do so. (If this was missed, we encourage a review of our public updates.) 4️⃣ UI & Data Integrity Interest continues to accrue in immutable markets, which can distort total deposit metrics. To protect new users, affected markets were removed from the public UI, while all positions remain accessible via dashboard to existing lenders. This is a protective measure — not an attempt to conceal data. 5️⃣ Independence & Neutrality Silo DAO has no association with any vault manager, including Varlamore Capital. The protocol and its interface remain neutral, transparent, and data-driven, enabling users to make independent, informed decisions. 6️⃣ User Risk Acknowledgment Silo’s Terms of Use clearly outline risks and responsibilities. The lending application requires users to acknowledge the risks associated with using permissionless lending markets (summary below): a- Markets are immutable and beyond Silo Labs’ control. b- Users are solely responsible for evaluating and assuming risk. c- Managed Vaults and markets may involve multi-asset exposure, which users must understand before proceeding. 7️⃣ Restitution & Responsibility Under Silo DAO’s Terms of Use, the DAO does not and will not compensate lenders. Users interact directly with permissionless vaults and bear exposure to asset issuers, not the protocol. Restitution must therefore be sought from Stream Finance and Stable Labs, the direct counterparties responsible for their obligations.
