Astroport ended tokenholder governance on Neutron and Terra and moved protocol operation to DAO DAO organizations. The change also leaves vxASTRO holders on the normal unlock path and sends ASTRO emissions to zero. One piece links the governance change to a Neutron incident that handed control of 11 Astroport- and Drop-related contracts to an attacker.

Key claims & sources

✓
Astroport ended tokenholder governance on Neutron and Terra and shifted protocol operation to DAO DAO organizations.
✓
vxASTRO holders keep the normal unlock process, while ASTRO emissions go to zero.
✓
A Neutron incident transferred control of 11 contracts tied to Astroport and Drop to an attacker before the governance change was announced.
✓
The governance shift centralizes control under contributors running the protocol through DAO DAO organizations.

What it means

Users and tokenholders on Neutron and Terra will notice that governance is no longer run through tokenholder voting and is now handled by contributors using DAO DAO organizations. vxASTRO holders still follow the normal unlock process, and ASTRO emissions are set to zero, so the day-to-day framework around the token has changed for them.

Before this change, tokenholder governance was the mechanism in place; now the protocol is being run through DAO DAO organizations instead. What stays the same is that vxASTRO holders still have the normal unlock process, even as ASTRO emissions move to zero. (per cryptobriefing.com)
