Save yourself if you can - Legal Department of Terra (LUNA) abandons the sinking ship

 


The drama surrounding the cryptocurrency Terra ( LUNA ) and its operator Terraform Labs is entering the next round, as the senior heads of the blockchain company's legal department have now parted ways.


As indicated by the respective attorneys' profiles on the LinkedIn careers network, General Counsel Marc Goldich, Noah Axler , Senior Legal Counsel, and Lawrence Florio , Senior Legal Counsel, all retired from Terraform Labs as of May 2022. Goldich has been working on the blockchain project since August 2021, while Axler and Florio only joined in January 2022.


The departures of the three chief executives from Terra's legal department comes only briefly after the proprietary cryptocurrency LUNA crashed to near $0.00 with much publicity over the past two weeks. The trigger for this was the associated stablecoin TerraUSD (UST), which had started the stumbling block with its decoupling from the US dollar.


Managing Director Do Kwon has meanwhile presented a rescue plan that stipulates that Terraform Labs will immediately start mining more UST than usual, but in the course of these rescue attempts the Terra blockchain was temporarily stopped twice , which only caused further uncertainty . Kwon is now proposing that there should be a hard fork of the Terra blockchain to revive the project.


Even before the three lawyers could leave the sinking ship, calls for legal action against Kwon were heard in the crypto community, as a large number of investors and investors suffered massive losses as a result of the sudden crash. So far it is unclear whether the departures are due to the resulting pressure or whether the lawyers see themselves in a moral dilemma that they can no longer resolve.



If the resignations are related to the crash in proprietary cryptocurrencies, the three legal experts wouldn't be the first crypto industry executives to flee when the going gets tough. As recently as December 2021, Joseph Delong had resigned as CTO at SushiSwap after "chaos" broke out in the management of the project.

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. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

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
