Legal Shenanigans: The Mango Markets Case
The courtroom isn’t just for TV dramas; it also serves as the stage for financial mischief! The individual behind the eyebrow-raising $116 million theft from Mango Markets has successfully postponed their fraud trial to April 8, 2024. It seems like justice is moving slower than a tortoise on a leisurely stroll, as the lawyers muscled their way for some additional prep time. The judge’s response was a resounding, “Motion for continuance granted!” Let’s hope the judge doesn’t need a reminder next April!
Aave’s Technical Freeze: Better Safe Than Sorry
In the world of crypto, bugs are less of a creepy-crawly issue and more like a high-stakes game. Aave protocol pressed the pause button on multiple markets last week after getting wind of a ‘feature-related bug.’ This move affects numerous platforms including Aave v2 across networks like Ethereum and Avalanche. It’s like sending everyone home early because the ice cream machine broke down – disappointing yet necessary!
ShuttleFlow Takes a Bow: Time to Say Goodbye
After two years of bravely navigating the choppy waters of multichain services, the ShuttleFlow protocol has announced it will be closing its doors. But don’t fret; the technology is being passed on to the Web3 studio, Zero Gravity, which promises to continue the adventure under a new moniker. They assured users that all funds are safe and set to migrate. Just imagine a bunch of digital coins packing their suitcases for a move to a shiny new home!
Staking Standards Get a Refresh
In a positive twist, the Proof of Stake Alliance has published an updated set of guidelines for staking providers. With representatives from 15 crypto firms, including notable names like Coinbase and Blockdaemon, the revised recommendations aim to ensure behaviors in the staking industry stay reputable and secure as we continue to grow!
