Weekly Commentary
ProWeek of May 26, 2026
Resolv published its Path Forward recovery plan on May 26, 2026: pre-incident USR holders receive 1:1 USDC, post-incident USR holders receive 0.5:1 USDC, and RLP holders receive 0.71 USDC plus 2.71 RESOLV tokens (targeting >60% total recovery). The 3-month claim window runs May 26 through August 26, 2026. The protocol remains paused for new deposits, USR trades at ~$0.44 (up from $0.12 following the announcement), and the ~$25M extracted by the exploiter has not been returned. Security fixes disclosed in the April postmortem — on-chain mint caps, oracle-based validation, and OIDC-based CI/CD — address the root cause, but no independent audit of the fixes has been published. New institutional product line Vault Street (primeUSD) launched alongside the recovery plan; core USR/RLP protocol remains in wind-down mode.
