Dogecoin Foundation has allocated 5 million DOGE for ecosystem development

Dogecoin dev fund

Nonprofit organization Dogecoin Foundation team formed a fund of 5 million DOGE (~$360,000) to develop the Dogecoin ecosystem. This is reported in a press release on the official site of the organization. The description of the initiative states that all grants will be publicly announced by the organization on social networks.

With each new Dogecoin Core update, the organization will allocate up to 500,000 DOGE to anyone who has helped with the development of the innovation. The payout amount for each developer will be calculated individually. The fund’s capital is stored in a wallet (address 9xEP9voiNLw7Y7DS87M8QRqKM43r6r5KM5) with five signatures, with a required minimum of three. Keys have been issued to Dogecoin Core developers and Dogecoin Foundation members. How long the ecosystem sponsorship program will last is unclear.

In 2022, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin predicted the Dogecoin community would move to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) algorithm. Meanwhile, Charles Hoskinson offered the Dogecoin community to migrate the “meme altcoin” network to Cardano blockchain as a sidechain for free.

An important factor for the Dogecoin dev fund is also the support of high-profile Influencer Ilon Musk. After he became the new owner of Twitter, Musk repeatedly hinted that DOGE would be accepted as a means of payment on the social platform.

Notably, in June of the same year, billionaire investor Keith Johnson filed a lawsuit against Ilon Musk. He accuses the owner of SpaceX and Tesla of promoting and supporting Dogecoin, which he says is a pyramid scheme and “fraud. According to Johnson, Musk has known since at least 2019 that Dogecoin has no value, but promotes it anyway, making money from it. Using his reputation as one of the richest men in the world, Musk ran a fraudulent scheme and manipulated the DOGE exchange rate, the plaintiff believes.

Earlier, we reported that the Bahamas financial regulator embezzled $3.5 billion from the bankrupt FTXexchange.

[PRESS RELEASE – Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, April 23rd, 2024]

The cryptocurrency sector is continually evolving, and ApeBond is at the forefront with its new offering: ⚡Flash Bonds. This feature enables participants to acquire Bitcoin (BTC) at specific discounts. ⚡Flash Bonds will be launched on the ApeBond website on April 23rd at 17:00 UTC, with transactions being conducted in USDT.

Exclusive Access, Exclusive Rewards

⚡Flash Bonds offer a structured way to purchase BTC at a set discount. Participants need to achieve a certain Tier status within the ApeBond Launchpad ecosystem to engage. This status can be attained by accumulating Launchpad Points via locking ABOND into veABOND. The sales occur twice a week, with discounts up to 3% based on the participant’s Tier. These discounts are predetermined and are maintained throughout the sale duration, irrespective of any price changes in the tokens during that period.

Details of Flash Sale #1 (Tuesday April 23rd, 17:00 UTC):

  • Diamond Tier: Requires 100,000 points for a $50K allocation with a 2% discount.
  • Legend Tier: Requires 500,000 points for a $150K allocation with a 3% discount. This tier will be available soon and points acquired now will count towards this new tier.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold Tiers do not qualify for participation in the first ⚡Flash Bonds sale. This exclusivity ensures that only the most dedicated investors gain access to this unique deal at the very beginning.

Process Overview:

  1. Users purchase and lock ABOND tokens to earn Launchpad Points.
  2. Locking tokens for extended periods grants users an additional Points Multiplier.
  3. Users accumulate sufficient points to reach the required Diamond or Legend Tier.
  4. Eligible users participate in ⚡Flash Bonds sales, which are held twice weekly.

The first sale offers $200K USD worth of BTC at a discount for a duration of one hour—$50K for Diamond Tier and $150K for Legend Tier holders, with instant vesting after the sale concludes.

The first ⚡Flash Bonds sale is set to ignite the crypto market on Tuesday, April 23rd at 17:00 UTC. ⚡Flash Bonds sales will continue bi-weekly, possibly expanding to include other prominent cryptocurrencies like BNB or ETH.

ApeBond’s Track Record

Since its launch in early 2022, ApeBond has made significant strides in the DeFi bonds market, bonding over $11 million USD and partnering with over 120 Bonds partners across five different chains. The Launchpad, introduced in March, has already facilitated two successful launches, with more planned for the future.

Flash Bonds are integrated with the sales of BTC and other major tokens, aligning with ApeBond’s strategy to enhance the utility and value of the ABOND ecosystem, which rewards sustained engagement.

SEC Demands $5.3 Billion From Do Kwon And Terraform Labs

letizo News

Published

on

Terraform Labs (TFL) and its founder, Do Kwon, are under pressure to pay $5.3 billion in cumulative damages for fraud related to their now-defunct Terra blockchain.

In a filing dated April 19, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requested that Kwon and his company be ordered to pay ~$4.2 billion in disgorgement and ~$546 million in pre-judgment interest after losing its lawsuit against the regulator on all counts earlier this month.

The Largest Crypto Fine Ever?

The agency requested that Terraform and Do Kwon pay a $420 million and a $100 million civil penalty, respectively, in addition to the disgorgement charges.

The order also stipulated that monetary remedies imposed against the firm could not be discharged in bankruptcy, and that the order would bar Kwon from again acting as director of a securities issuer.

Should the court abide, the case could go down as the largest crypto-related enforcement action ever, surpassing the Department of Justice’s $4.3 billion settlement with Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, in February.

Whereas Binance’s charges at the time were related to a lack of anti-money laundering controls, TFL’s case related to securities law violations and defrauding investors.

That includes misleading investors about its blockchain’s associated token and stablecoin – LUNA and UST – about their stability and ability to generate investor returns.

“Through these deceptions, the defendants caused devastating losses for investors and wiped out tens of billions of market value nearly overnight,” said SEC Division of Enforcement Director Gurbir S. Grewal in a statement following the court’s verdict against TFL and Kwon on April 5.

“For all of crypto’s promises, the lack of registration and compliance have very real consequences for real people,” he continued.

Do Kwon’s Counterarguments

In response to the SEC’s request, Kwon has argued against any form of injunctive relief against him, claiming there is no evidence that Kwon will repeat the same “alleged” conduct.

His lawyers also claimed that disgorgement fines are unjustified given that Kwon did not receive any illegal profits from his scheme independent of TFL’s earnings.

Regarding civil penalties, Kwon’s lawyers claimed he should be charged a little over $800,000.

“For the foregoing reasons, the Court should not grant injunctive relief or disgorgement against Mr. Kwon, and may assess appropriate civil penalties based on the criteria discussed above and in TFL’s remedies brief to the extent the SEC meets its burden of proof,” the filing concluded.
