Introduction

...

Lately there has been a lot of talk about the stalker attack. It’s a very high-risk attack for the person conducting it. The "victime" 1. Ends up losing 0.01*N ETH + gas, where K is the number of tokens you transfer, and the attacker transfers K + N tokens. 2. The attacker loses all reward tokens. 3. The attacker loses alot of time and gas.

...

The stalker attack, though sounds terrifying is a non-issue since it makes zero-sense for the attacker as we have shown above. That point aside, the very conversation around the topic proves that one of the first features a DAO 2.0 should have is a “solo split” option.
