ZKasino, a project that appeared to be legitimate, has been accused of stealing $33 million from users. The project claimed to have raised funds in a series A round and had notable investors. However, red flags started to appear, including allegations that the founders had stolen money from a previous project. The project then changed the terms and conditions of its bridge program, forcibly converting users' ETH into its native token with a 15-month lockup. Affected parties are now seeking legal action, and there is anger and frustration among investors.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Questioning the Existence of Scams in Crypto08:22 Changing Terms and Conditions and the Fallout

Welcome to Leviathan News, your go-to destination for all things DeFi, Crypto, and more! Join us for our daily livestreams as we delve into the latest news, trends, and developments in the exciting world of decentralized finance and cryptocurrencies.

Join us for a weekly reply guying session of Millie, amplice and DAdvisoor discussing about crypto and DeFi news and events.

0xMai from Curvance is with us to discuss Curvance's Testnet launch, audits complete, alpha and anything else I can convince him to share.

The conversation discusses the recent market crash and its impact on various cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin and altcoins. It highlights the volatility and risks associated with leveraged trading and the emotional aspect of trading. The conversation then transitions to a discussion about IPOR Fusion, a protocol that aims to increase the utility of DeFi credit markets by introducing interest rate swaps. The protocol allows users to earn high yields and borrow at cheaper rates while providing protection against liquidation. The release of Fusion is expected to make DeFi more accessible to a wider range of users. The conversation concludes with a mention of Fjord Foundry, a decentralized platform for teams to raise capital and launch tokens. Fjord's Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP) is a fair and effective way for teams to launch their tokens and generate liquidity for their community. The LBP uses Balancer's weighted math to create a decay function that starts the token price high and gradually pushes it down, preventing sniper bots and ensuring a fair supply distribution. LBPs typically run for three days, allowing traders from different time zones to participate and facilitating price discovery. Fjord has raised close to $1 billion through LBPs, demonstrating its success in the industry. The FJO token launch is a significant event for Fjord, with plans to distribute revenue share to token holders and explore partnerships for token airdrops from projects launching on the platform.
