Top 7 important DAO proposals and discussions this week. 🧠 - Arbitrum's new Security Council - Aave's new project - Hyperliquid HIP-5 - zkSync new $ZK tokenomics - Balancer's hack recap - Jupiter's $JUP burn - Orderly Network $ORDER buybacks

@arbitrumdao_gov introduced the September 2025 Security Council election.

@aave DAO renewed its agreement with @bgdlabs to remain its core development and security partner until April 1, 2026, and introduced Project E, a new BGD initiative using Aave’s licensed tech under a revenue-sharing model.

@HyperliquidX community proposed HIP-5 to create Assistance Fund 2 (AF-2) ,a staker-governed buyback pool using 1-5% of Hyperliquid fees to purchase Strict List tokens (PURR, HFUN). Funds accrue in USDC, with HYPE stakers voting in real time on which tokens to support. A 5% allocation equals about $55M/year in buybacks, while AF-1 retains 94% of fees.

@zksync proposed a new $ZK tokenomics adding economic utility through interoperability fees and enterprise licensing, with revenues cycling into staking, burns, and ecosystem funding.

@Balancer’s V2 liquidity vaults were exploited on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum, with over $100M stolen. The issue affected only Composable Stable Pools. Balancer V3 and other pools were safe. The cause is suspected to be either a faulty access control in the 'manageUserBalance' function or price invariant manipulation. Over 27 Balancer V2 forks were also impacted. Losses included $3.4M from Sonic’s Beets, $283k from Optimism’s Beethoven. @berachain validator intentionally halted the network and executed a successful emergency hard fork to recover ~$12M in user funds from their BEX. @stakewise_io DAO’s emergency multisig recovered about 5,041 osETH (~$19M) and 13,495 osGNO (~$1.7M) from the exploiter.

@OrderlyNetwork started using 60% of its fees to buy back $ORDER.
