After April 1, we put our heads down and committed to making this right for our users and partners. Today, we're announcing a collaboration with @tether and other partners, through which they are proposed to contribute up to $147.5 million combined to support user recovery and facilitate the Drift Protocol relaunch. The collaboration is structured around a clear, revenue-driven recovery mechanism designed to prioritize users from day one through a revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem grant, and loans to market-makers. During the initial phase of the collaboration, a substantial portion of exchange revenue, together with committed support capital, is intended to fund a dedicated user recovery pool.
