Autofarmers!

We understand that it has been a difficult time for affected users. The time is finally here where we can move forward; Autofarm has been coordinating the new refund plan for the last few months.We wanted this problem solved with the best solution for all affected users and both communities.

The Venus Team has agreed to launch a Snapshot vote and let the community decide on the proposal. The team will be supporting us by rendering technical support and facilitating the Venus Improvement Proposal (VIP) on their platform if the snapshot vote is passed. Details of the new proposal can be found over here. You can show your support for the proposal by commenting on the Forum.

What rests now, is for all users of both communities to vote on the new proposal to return the funds to the affected users.

Stake Snapshot = 17:00 UTC 18 August 2022

Why is this deadline so important? We’ll explain below!
