The DAO fork was in response to the [2016 DAO attack](https://www.coindesk.com/learn/understanding-the-dao-attack/) where an insecure [DAO](/glossary/#dao) contract was drained of over 3.6 million ETH in a hack. The fork moved the funds from the faulty contract to a [new contract](https://etherscan.io/address/0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754) with a single function: withdraw. Anyone who lost funds could withdraw 1 ETH for every 100 DAO tokens in their wallets.
