• Creditors receive emails from FTX Notices in a variety of ways, such as claim assets and customer codes. The email highlighted that when the court sets a deadline, notification of the date and instructions on how to submit proofs of claim or interests will be given to all known creditors.

• Following the collapse of FTX in November 2022, OKX stated in a release that it had looked into any transactions involving FTX that may have occurred on its exchange. Once it had found assets and accounts connected to FTX and Alameda Research, the company took action to secure the assets and freeze the associated accounts

A hacker stole $600 million from FTX’s wallets shortly after it shut down, raising concerns
that FTX accounts on other exchanges may have been compromised.
With $694 million in the most liquid “Category A Assets,” which include fiat, stablecoins,
bitcoin, BNB, SOL, and ether (before to OKX’s disclosure), the exchange had a “significant
shortage” in assets, according to bankruptcy attorneys working on the case in early March.

• Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and CEO of crypto trading firm FTX, has been accused of bribing Chinese officials with $40 million. The accusations were made in a lawsuit filed by former FTX employee Adam Cochran.

According to the lawsuit, Bankman-Fried allegedly made payments to Chinese officials
to secure favorable treatment for FTX in the Chinese market. Cochran, who was FTX’s
head of strategy and partnerships until September 2021, claims that he was fired for
raising concerns about the alleged bribery

Bankman-Fried has denied the allegations, calling them “categorically false.” In a
statement, he said that FTX had never made any improper payments to any government
official and that Cochran’s claims were motivated by a desire for financial gain.
The lawsuit comes at a time of increased scrutiny of cryptocurrency companies and their
interactions with regulators and government officials. Several high-profile companies,
including Coinbase and Binance, have faced regulatory challenges in recent months, as
governments around the world seek to establish clear rules for the industry.
It remains to be seen how the lawsuit will play out, but it underscores the importance of
transparency and compliance in the cryptocurrency industry. As the industry continues to
grow and mature, it will be critical for companies to maintain high standards of integrity
and ethics in their business practices.

• The proposal claims that BSC’s high gas prices have restricted network activity and that if the gas price is not reined in, the current utilization rate of about 15-20% could worsen.

The current fixed rate of 5 gwei for BSC transaction expenses may not be as tempting to
users as the lower prices offered by L2 alternatives outside of the BSC ecosystem. This
will guarantee that the current and future BNB Chain L2 solutions maintain their
competitiveness and draw in desirable consumers to the ecosystem

Common BNB, do something Layer 2 coins are getting ahead of you.

• Optimism’s Bedrock Upgrade will occur on April 5th, bringing reduced network fees and the implementation of zero-knowledge proofs

Optimism’s Bedrock Upgrade is a significant update to the Optimism Layer 2 scaling
solution for Ethereum. Optimism is a protocol that aims to improve the scalability of the
Ethereum network by enabling faster and cheaper transactions on a second layer while
maintaining the security and decentralization of the main Ethereum network.
The Bedrock Upgrade is designed to improve the performance and functionality of the
Optimism protocol, with a focus on enhancing the user experience for developers and users
of decentralized applications (dApps). Some of the key features of the Bedrock Upgrade
include:

Increased transaction throughput: The Bedrock Upgrade will increase the capacity of the
Optimism network to process more transactions per second, making it faster and more
efficient.
Reduced gas fees: Gas fees are the fees charged to users for processing transactions on the
Ethereum network. The Bedrock Upgrade will reduce gas fees on the Optimism network,
making it more affordable for users to transact on the platform.
Enhanced developer tools: The Bedrock Upgrade will introduce new developer tools and
features that will make it easier for developers to build and deploy dApps on the Optimism
network.
The Bedrock Upgrade is a significant milestone for the Optimism protocol, and it is
expected to further improve the scalability and usability of the Ethereum network.
