The recent market events have rocked the crypto industry and left in its wake innovative developers and teams building the next generation of blockchain solutions without a network. In response, TRON DAO has announced the launch of a $10 million incentive fund to support Terra developers migrating to the TRON ​​ecosystem. Including those migrating to TRON’s EVM compatible cross-chain solution BitTorrent Chain (BTTC), which facilitates the seamless transfer of assets across mainstream public chains, including TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. The $10 million incentive fund will be granted to developers and users to jumpstart the migration and growth within the TRON ecosystem. For developers, the incentives will be mainly for project integration, and for users, the incentives will be mainly for staking rewards. The migration will allow Terra developers and users to recuperate from the collapse and continue their innovation. More details on accessing the fund and eligibility will come soon.

TRON has been a long-time proponent of the decentralization of the Internet via blockchain technology. Since completing full decentralization in December 2021, the TRON DAO ecosystem continues to thrive with fast speeds, high scalability, and low costs. As of May 15, 2022, it has industry-leading performance with over 92 million users on the blockchain, more than 3.2 billion transactions, and over $8 billion in total value locked (TVL).

In continuing its efforts to promote the mass adoption of innovative cross-chain solutions, TRON and BTTC launched the TRON Grand Hackathon 2022 Season 2 with registration starting Monday, May 16. With an aggregate bounty of $1 million, the Hackathon will be split into four tracks, encompassing DeFi, GameFi, NFT, and Web3. This will be an ongoing funding event, commencing every three months, to promote the growth of the TRON and BTTC ecosystems.

The Hackathon will also support the top track winners with various resources, including potential funding opportunities from the TRON and BTTC Ecosystem Fund, liquidity provision, and integration with partner exchanges. Submission of the Hackathon Season 2 ends on Monday, July 25. Contestants interested in winning extra TRON DAO Forum prizes are encouraged to register and submit their projects to the TRON DAO Forum early, as interactions with community members within their forum threads will also be considered while judging the projects.

OKX Proof of Reserves Ranked Highest Quality Among Major Exchanges as 11th Consecutive Monthly Reserves Report is Published

Published

on

 

OKX, a leading global Web3 technology company and crypto exchange, has published its industry-best 11th consecutive monthly Proof of Reserves (PoR), showing balances of USD$11.2 billion in primary assets, as its PoR was given the highest quality rating among major exchanges.

OKX’s latest PoR comes days after Castle Island Ventures partner and blockchain and Proof of Reserves expert Nic Carter ranked OKX highest of all major centralized exchanges on its quality of Proof of Reserves. In his ranking, he cited OKX’s credibility, knowledge of leadership, demonstrated commitment to transparency and overall PoR quality as reasons for his positive assessment.

OKX’s PoR covers 22 commonly used digital assets and shows that OKX has maintained a reserve ratio exceeding 100% for 11 consecutive months across all those assets. In addition to BTC, ETH and USDT, the assets included are: USDC, XRP, DOGE, SOL, OKB, APT, DASH, DOT, ELF, EOS, ETC, FIL, LINK, LTC, OKT, PEOPLE, TON, TRX and UNI.

OKX’s current reserve ratios are as follows:

  • BTC: 102%
  • ETH: 103%
  • USDT: 102%

OKX Global Chief Commercial Officer Lennix Lai said: “With our 11th consecutive Proof of Reserves report, we are reaffirming our unwavering commitment to greater transparency and trust within the crypto industry. At OKX, we believe that integrity is the cornerstone of our success, and our PoR stands as a testament to our dedication to safeguarding user assets. As we approach a full calendar year of consecutive PoR releases, we have never been more committed to continuing to raise the bar for transparency in our sector.”

In August, OKX conducted two Twitter surveys to measure the sentiment of the online community with regards to the importance of PoR and transparency. Poll results showed that 84% of respondents say monthly PoR reports are either ‘somewhat important’ or ‘very important‘ and 88% state that transparency is either ‘somewhat important’ or ‘very important’ when choosing which crypto platform to trust.

OKX has seen hundreds of thousands of users engage with its PoR, visit its PoR page and view their self-audits since first launching its PoR page in late 2022. The open-source verification tool allows users to independently verify OKX’s solvency and confirm their assets are backed by OKX reserves while maintaining their privacy.

OKX has published over 210,000 addresses for its PoR program, and will continue to allow the public to view its asset flows.

Users can view the latest PoR report, reserve ratios, and verify OKX’s solvency here.
