- Babylon said it will distribute the remaining treasury among BABL and hBABL holders starting from September 6 and reimburse investors with holdings at the time of the hack.
- Babylon is also “extracting all the liquidity from the Uniswap pool” to stop people from raiding the remaining liquidity.
- The DeFi protocol intends to pull the plug on its services on November 15.
