Decentralized Exchange Serum 'No Longer Exists' Due to Collapse of Alameda and FTX



 Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) Project Serum has told its community that it "no longer exists" due to the collapse of its backers, namely Alameda and FTX.


The team behind the project said that despite the ongoing challenges, there is still "hope" as Serum could still be "forked" . 

The announcement states, "A collaborative effort to fork Serum is well underway." OpenBook, the community-driven fork of the Serum v3 program, is already active on Solana with over $1 million in daily volume. The community is constantly trying to expand it and increase its liquidity.


"With the existence of Openbook, Serum's volume and liquidity has been reduced to almost zero," Project Serum said on Twitter . Users and protocols are more secure using OpenBook because unspecified security vulnerabilities exist on the "old serum code" compromised by the FTX hack . 


With regard to the SRM token, the DEX announced that the future of SRM is "uncertain" and the community is also divided on the matter. Some believe it should be used "for discounts" while others say it shouldn't be used at all given its connection to FTX and Alameda.


On Nov. 12, Cointelegraph reported that FTX was hacked. In the process, $659 million was stolen from wallets linked to FTX and FTX US.


Following the FTX hack, Solana developers forked the widely used token liquidity hub Serum after it was compromised by a series of unauthorized transactions. On November 12, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko tweeted that developers dependent on Serum had forked its code after the upgrade key was compromised. He added that many "liquidity and liquidation protocols depend on serum markets."

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
