## 🔄 **Update: Recovery Plan for Neemo Chunk 2 (177M ASTR)**

Following the successful execution of last weekend’s emergency proposal to secure the first batch of unlocked ASTR (Chunk 1) from Neemo Finance, we are now moving forward with the **final step to secure Chunk 2 (~177M ASTR)** based on Neemo’s formal request.

This plan has been coordinated with the Neemo team and will follow a similar structure to the previous operation.

* * *

### ✅ **Recap: Chunk 1 Successfully Secured**

We’re pleased to confirm that **Referendum #27** , covering the withdrawal and safeguarding of Chunk 1 (~26.78M ASTR), was **approved by ASTR token holders and successfully executed on-chain** on Tuesday, July 8.

- 🗳 Referendum: [Subsquare – Referendum #27](https://astar.subsquare.io/democracy/referenda/27)
- ✅ Execution: [Subscan Block 9261678 – Referendum Executed](https://astar.subscan.io/block/9261678?tab=event&event=9261678-11)
- 🔐 Funds Received: [Subscan Treasury Event](https://astar.subscan.io/event/9261678-6)
- 📦 Treasury Address: [On-Chain Treasury Wallet](https://astar.subscan.io/account/YQnbw3oWxBnCUarnbePrjFcrSgVPP2jqTZYzWcccmN8fXhd)

The funds are now held securely in the **on-chain Treasury wallet** for safekeeping.

* * *

### 📅 **Next Step: Chunk 2 Recovery (177M ASTR)**

To recover the remaining ASTR still unlocking in Neemo’s staking position (Chunk 2), we will **replicate the same governance process** , adjusted for timing and scale.

#### 🔧 Maintenance Mode – **Scheduled for Thursday, July 10 at 7:00 AM UTC**

Maintenance mode will be **re-enabled through governance referendum** to execute the fund recovery process securely.  
**Estimated maintenance window:** 7:00–11:00 AM UTC

* * *

### 🗳 **Step 1: Referendum #1 – Maintenance Mode (Today, July 9)**

The first referendum to **enable maintenance mode** ahead of the Chunk 2 fund recovery is now live and open for voting.

🗳 **Vote here** : [Subsquare – Referendum #29](https://astar.subsquare.io/democracy/referenda/29)

- **Purpose** : Temporarily activate maintenance mode for dApp Staking
- **Execution Time** : Scheduled for **Thursday, July 10 at 7:00 AM UTC**
- **Voting Period** : Fast-tracked referendum, **closes in ~12 hours**

This short maintenance window will allow the safe execution of the fund recovery and the reactivation of dApp Staking once complete.

* * *

### 🗳 **Step 2: Referendum #2 – Chunk 2 Recovery (Thursday, July 10)**

Once maintenance mode is active, a second referendum will be submitted containing a batch call to:

1. **Disable maintenance mode**
2. **Claim the unlocked funds**
3. **Force transfer ~177M ASTR to the on-chain Treasury wallet**

- The referendum will be **fast-tracked** , with a **2-hour voting period starting at 9:00 AM UTC** and **execution by 11:00 AM UTC**.

* * *

### 🎯 **Expected Outcome (Thursday by 11:00 AM UTC)**

- ~177M ASTR (Chunk 2) will be securely transferred to the **on-chain Treasury wallet**
- **dApp Staking will resume normal operations**
- No further access to compromised Neemo addresses will be required

This process ensures a **clean, secure, and final resolution** to the Neemo recovery effort using on-chain governance and minimizing risks.

* * *

### 🙌 **Next Steps & Community Support**

We’ll provide real-time updates when:

- **Referendum #1** is already launched, please vote 👉 [Urgent Proposal: Enable Maintenance Mode to Recover Neemo Chunk 2](https://astar.subsquare.io/democracy/referenda/29)
- **Maintenance mode is activated**
- **Referendum #2** is launched
- **Execution is completed** and **dApp Staking is re-enabled**

We thank the community for their rapid coordination and continued support in resolving this matter through governance.
