**[Full release notes](https://github.com/galacticcouncil/HydraDX-node/releases/tag/v15.1.2)** 

-----

This release fixes a misconfiguration in which the HubAssetImbalance *becomes more negative* from non-LRNA trades instead of *becoming less negative* (moving towards 0). It will also reset the HubAssetImbalance to 0.

0.05% of every trade is paid in LRNA as a **Protocol Fee** - in the design, when the HubAssetImbalance is <0, this fee is burned in order to slowly bring the HubAssetImbalance back to 0.

In the current implementation, the Protocol Fee is actually moving the HubAssetImbalance further from 0 - as a result, the HubAssetImbalance would never move towards 0 and the protocol would eventually burn too much LRNA.

**As with [Referendum #20](https://hydradx.subsquare.io/democracy/referendum/20); please note that adjusting the parameters of the LRNA imbalance mechanism and resetting the HubAssetImbalance will not have any negative impact on past trades or provided liquidity.**

We found this issue thanks to the help of community member **amphibiousParakeet**, whose relentless pursuit to understand the mechanisms behind the Omnipool first brought this to light. I will be proposing to the rest of the HydraDX Council that we pay a bug bounty under the previously agreed spending framework and would encourage all other curious developers (whether professional or hobbyist) to join us on a bug hunt!

- There was a problem with the way trades were being counted, and this update fixes it.
- A small fee is paid for each trade, but it was making the problem worse instead of better.
- The fee will be reset to zero to fix the problem.
- This won't affect past trades or the money people have put in.
- A community member found the problem and will be rewarded for it.
