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

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
