According to The Block, MonkeDAO has launched an internal investigation in response to allegations that validator rewards have been misappropriated. The allegations claim that about half of the validator rewards (approximately 586 SOL, currently worth $89,200) have not been returned to the DAO treasury since December of last year. Ariel Givner, MonkeDAO's general counsel, stated that the DAO is aware of the situation and is ensuring operational transparency and accountability, promising to provide a detailed explanation and address any potential issues.
