Harmony lost $100 million in Ether due to the bridge exploit one month ago. However, the Harmony to reimburse 4.97 billion drives a backlash. The Harmony developers have begun considering compensating the community for its financial losses.

Harmony promised to reimburse the community in OP tokens created after a hard fork for the more than 14 asset classes lost, totaling around $100 million from 65,000 accounts. This inflationary proposal could be implemented by compensating users for the value of their stolen tokens over the next three years or compensating users for only half of the value stolen.
Harmony to Reimburse 4.97 Billion Tokens
