After the Yearn Hack, Yearn immediately allocated unused OP rewards of the campaign to the hack victims.

The DeFi Singularity campaign delivered only 336,593 vDOT in incentives during the first 6 months ( [Polkadot DeFi Singularity Report](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-defi-singularity-report/17388) ).

The original campaign allocation was 795,000 DOT, meaning approximately 40% of the allocation (~$600-800K at current prices) remains unspent.

Since the pools these incentives were intended for are now compromised, this unused allocation is a natural candidate for redirection toward LP recovery through governance action
