The liquid staking token bOSMO issued by Backbone Labs nearly exhausted its contract support after a large redemption in the Osmosis community pool. A disclosure on the Osmosis forum on October 15 revealed that approximately 40,508 OSMO were designated for compensation to 1,037 accounts. The disclosure author Johnny Wyles stated that the staking contract has overpaid for each redemption since at least April 2026, settling at approximately 1.676 OSMO per bOSMO, while the declared exchange rate of the contract was about 1.117 OSMO.The vulnerability repeatedly counted the OSMO staked on Backbone's own validators, allowing redeemers to receive about 50% more assets, at the cost of diluting the support for remaining holders. The defect was exposed when preparing to liquidate the community pool position, and the passed governance proposal 1049 authorized the withdrawal of the Margined managed treasury position and the destruction of the reclaimed OSMO when it ceased managing liquidity operations. The pool's bOSMO treasury holds approximately 1.137 million bOSMO, accounting for about 97% of the total supply of the token; the redemption transaction executed on October 9 at 21:59 ET destroyed 776,000 bOSMO and began unbinding approximately 1.3 million OSMO.Compensation is based on the qualified balance at block 72,237,940, calculated at 1.1174 OSMO per bOSMO. bOSMO purchased after the snapshot is not included in the compensation, and underlying holders in the liquidity pool and other contracts are also included;

ChainCatcher news, according to on-chain data, approximately 16.88 billion WLFI have been transferred to the Lockbox contract, accounting for 16.88% of the total token supply. Based on the pre-market contract price of $0.324, this is estimated to be worth about $5.47 billion.It is reported that the WLFI token will officially begin unlocking at 8 AM Eastern Time on September 1. The related functionality page (Lockbox) is now live. Users need to activate it between August 25 and August 31 in order to receive 20% of the unlocked tokens starting from September 1.

ChainCatcher news, according to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa monitoring, currently out of the total supply of 100 billion WLFI tokens, only 20% is clearly unlocked at TGE from the public sale rounds one and two, with a total of 25 billion tokens sold in the public sale.Assuming all participants have transferred their tokens to Lockbox and activated them, the TGE circulation will be 5 billion tokens (5% of the total supply), which, based on the current Binance contract price of $0.3858, would result in a sell-off of $1.93 billion.However, Tokenomist found that the corresponding share of early presale users in the WLFI smart contract is only 1.843 million tokens (with 6.57 billion tokens not accounted for). If this is true, the TGE circulation under the same conditions will decrease to 3.68 billion tokens, resulting in approximately $1.42 billion in sell-off.As of 8 PM tonight, the WLFI Lockbox contract has received a total of 16.395 billion tokens, meaning only 65.5% of the presale tokens have been activated. Therefore, the actual TGE circulation will ultimately depend on the total number of tokens deposited by investors.Based on the current Binance contract price of $0.3858, the FDV of WLFI is $38.58 billion, which is 1.62 times that of LINK's FDV. DWF Labs previously invested $25 million to acquire 250 million tokens at a cost of $0.1, and is also a market maker at USD1, thus DWF Labs will become the market maker for WLFI tokens.

ChainCatcher news, according to on-chain data, approximately 16.27 billion WLFI have been transferred to the Lockbox contract, accounting for 16.27% of the total token supply, with an estimated value of about 4.83 billion dollars based on the current contract price.The WLFI token will officially begin unlocking at 8 AM Eastern Time on September 1. The related functionality page (Lockbox) is now online. Users need to activate between August 25 and September 1 in order to receive 20% of the unlocked tokens starting from September 1.

ChainCatcher news, according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), there are already 13.35 billion tokens in the WLFI Lockbox contract, worth 3.5 billion dollars.Based on the current price of the WLFI contract at $0.2615, the paper return rate for Phase 1 investors in the public offering is still 16.43 times, while Phase 2 has 4.23 times. Additionally, perhaps influenced by the XPL hedging incident, Hyperliquid WLFI OI (open interest) has decreased by 49% in the last 24 hours, and Binance has also dropped by 5.75%.
