DAO raises $38 million

 


Numerous donations have been received in recent days in support of the fight for the freedom of Julian Assange.


The DAO, established to help free WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, is proving a resounding success. At the time of writing, 12,569 ETH have already been raised with a current value of $38.8 million. According to JuiceBox, the community funding platform that runs the campaign, the first donations came in on February 4th. Last weekend, the campaign really picked up speed again and then reached the current status.


According to the DAO's Twitter feed , it is now the largest JuiceBox Ethereum fundraiser in the history of the platform. It surpasses that of ConstitutionDAO, which raised funds to purchase an original copy of the United States Constitution in November.


However, this comparison is only correct if you take the ETH number as a reference value. Since the price of the second largest cryptocurrency was significantly higher then than it is now, ConsitutionDAO brought in the equivalent of around 49 million US dollars. 


The AssangeDAO is bidding on an NFT artwork by Pak called “Censored”. This was created in direct cooperation with Assange. The indictment against Assange is seen worldwide as symptomatic of the state's handling of press freedom. If extradited to the US, the WikiLeaks founder could face up to 175 years in prison. The legal tug-of-war over the native Australian has now lasted for more than a decade. 


Assange can appeal US verdict


The AssangeDAO emerged from a Telegram group. The trigger was a court decision in December. The US government had been able to enforce its appeal against a British court ruling prohibiting the extradition of Assange. A British court initially prohibited Assange's extradition to the United States, citing his unstable psyche and the associated risk of suicide. However, as things currently stand, Assange has the right to have this decision reviewed by the local Supreme Court. The AssangeDAO concept was inspired by the FreeRossDAO organization . She managed to raise $12 million to free Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Dark Web marketplace Silk Road.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used.

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
