FAQ

Common Questions

Am I eligible for compensation?▼
Any user who held assets in Drift Protocol's lending pools, perp vaults, or spot margin positions before block 312,847,201 (April 1, 2026 03:47 UTC) is eligible. Connect your wallet to check eligibility instantly.
How is my compensation amount calculated?▼
We use on-chain data from the snapshot block to calculate your exact balance at the time of the exploit. This includes deposited collateral, accrued interest, and open positions marked at pre-exploit oracle prices. Fully transparent and verifiable on-chain.
Is this the official Drift recovery portal?▼
Yes. This is the only official Drift Protocol recovery portal. Always verify the URL (drift.trade/recovery). The Drift team will NEVER DM you asking for your seed phrase or private keys. Report phishing in our official Discord.
When will I receive my funds?▼
Once your claim is verified (within 24 hours), compensation is queued and sent within 48–72 hours. Large claims over $500K may require up to 5 business days for additional verification. You'll receive an on-chain confirmation.
What happened to my DRIFT tokens?▼
DRIFT tokens held in your personal wallet were not affected. Only assets deposited into Drift Protocol smart contracts were at risk. Staked DRIFT in the staking module is covered at pre-exploit market value.
When will Drift Protocol relaunch?▼
Full security audits by Trail of Bits and Neodyme are underway. We expect to relaunch on Solana mainnet in Q3 2026 with enhanced security — formal verification, multi-sig admin controls, and real-time monitoring. Updates on all official channels.
