CIP-86 Update: Next Steps & KYC Process
Following the approval of CIP-86 via Snapshot, we wanted to share the next steps regarding the discretionary grants process for users affected by the DNS hijacking incident.
As outlined in the proposal timeline, all claims must be submitted to help@cow.fi by May 14, after which the verification process will begin.
To support this process, CoW DAO has engaged an external firm to handle KYC verification for eligible users. Users whose claims move forward in the review process will receive a secure KYC link directly via the email address they provided when submitting their claim.
Before those emails are sent, we will also share an additional communication with more details about the sender information users should expect, in order to help avoid confusion or phishing attempts.
Current timeline:
- May 14 — Claim submission deadline (help@cow.fi)
- May 14 – May 21 — Claim review and KYC verification process
- May 21 — KYC process expected to be completed; CoW DAO treasury begins issuing discretionary grants
- May 31 — Discretionary grants program concluded
We appreciate everyone’s patience throughout this process. Further updates will be shared in this forum thread as needed.
