community member ugurmersin has proposed an alternative to Proposal 613, suggesting that custody of the Ecosystem Protection and Continuity Fund (EPCF) and mainnet Chainlink SVR revenue be transferred from the Safe controlled by the Compound Foundation to a Community Multisig, adopting a 9-party 5/9 multisig mechanism. The proposal does not advocate shutting down the EPCF, but rather preserving its purpose, size, 48-month term, and emergency fund deployment capability.As of October 8, the EPCF held 500,000 USDC and 4.5834 million USDC deposited in cUSDCv3, while mainnet Chainlink SVR revenue held 355.95 ETH. The proposal states that the original Proposal 613 had planned to shut down the EPCF and transfer the funds to the Governor Timelock, and was canceled by the Proposal Guardian on October 7.

Odaily News: Analysis by security firm CertiK shows that a legacy MakerDAO auction keeper contract was exploited, with the attacker draining 200 ETH worth over $500,000. According to CertiK, the root cause is a lack of access control in the 0x8804d1de function within the keeper implementation contract. This contract was involved in the March 2020 "Black Thursday" liquidation crisis, where it won ETH at zero bids. Four lots of 50 ETH each were never settled, and the attacker used this to drain the funds, transferring them out via Tornado Cash in batches of 10 ETH each. This contract is not part of the current Sky ecosystem core, but old contracts still holding funds may remain potential attack targets.
