**Lens Protocol rolls out own blockchain scaling solution for social media** *The creators of Lens Protocol have introduced a beta version of Momoka (previously Bonsai), a blockchain scaling solution, as the blockchain-based social media project gears up to handle an increased volume of transactions for users of Lens-based decentralized apps.* *Aave Companies, the development firm responsible for Lens Protocol, announced that Momoka was specifically engineered to facilitate the scaling of decentralized social media applications, enabling the processing of numerous transactions with minimal associated costs.* *Scalability is a significant issue for decentralized social media, as such products are both data-intensive and involve a high throughput of transactions. Blockchains typically struggle with both of these issues. The team built Momoka in response.* *"To be competitive with web2, decentralized social platforms must scale. With the ability to support mass consumer adoption, we'll see continued web3 innovation — new, exciting and compelling features and business models that will spur web3 adoption," said Stani Kulechov, CEO of Aave and founder of Lens Protocol. "Bonsai (Momoka) provides hyperscalability that supports blockchain's core values and guarantees, delivering secure, fast and cost-effective scalability."* *Source:-TheBlock* *#eth* *#lens* *#lenster*

**EU Parliament Approves Crypto Licensing, Funds Transfer Rules** Lawmakers in the European Union on Thursday voted 517-38 in favor of a new crypto licensing regime, Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), with 18 absentions, making it the first major jurisdiction in the world to introduce a comprehensive crypto law. The European Parliament also voted 529-29 in favor of a separate law known as the Transfer of Funds regulation, which requires crypto operators to identify their customers in a bid to halt money laundering, with 14 abstentions. The vote follows a Wednesday debate in which lawmakers largely supported plans to make crypto wallet providers and exchanges seek a license to operate across the bloc, and require issuers of stablecoins tied to the value of other assets to maintain sufficient reserves. In a tweet, the European Commission's Mairead McGuinness described the vote as a "world first" for crypto rules. "We’re protecting consumers and safeguarding financial stability and market integrity," McGuinness said. "The rules will start applying from next year." In a statement released by the European Parliament, Stefan Berger, the lawmaker who led negotiations on the law, said the rules put the EU "at the forefront of the token economy." "The European crypto-asset industry has regulatory clarity that does not exist in countries like the U.S.," Berger said. "The sector that was damaged by the FTX collapse can regain trust." The European Securities and Markets Authority also welcomed the vote in a tweet, and said it will "announce in due time" its timetable for drafting secondary legislation under MiCA. "ESMA still warns consumers that investing in cryptoassets is a risky endeavour with limited safeguards at this stage," the EU agency added. The Markets in Crypto Assets regulation was first proposed by the European Commission in 2020, and to pass into law has to be approved by the parliament and the EU’s Council, which represents the bloc’s member states. Its main provisions start to apply just over 12 months after publication in the EU’s official journal, likely in June. #lens #lenster

**Guide to Polygon NFTs** With a string of a-list partners and an ever-expanding ecosystem, Polygon is a network that’s worth paying attention to. However, Polygon NFTs are relatively lesser-known, perhaps because many wallets don’t fully support them. In this post, we explore Polygon NFT marketplaces and top NFT collections. 📈 **Polygon NFT marketplaces** Many NFT marketplaces support Polygon — below are the leading ones in terms of volume. **1. OpenSea** The best-known NFT marketplace, @opensea.lens added Polygon in August 2022. Despite lots of competition, OpenSea has the largest trading volumes for Polygon NFTs. Besides trading, OpenSea also lets anyone easily create Polygon NFTs with “lazy minting”. With this method, no gas is paid until the NFT is sold. **2. MagicEden** Originally focused on Solana, MagicEden has grown into a cross-chain NFT giant. The marketplace added support for Polygon in November 2022. MagicEden also has lots of tools to help creators successfully sell NFTs. This includes whitelists, launchpads, and auctions. This isn’t open to all, and there is a vetting process for creators to ensure quality. **3. Dew** Currently in invite-only, Dew.gg is a dedicated Polygon NFT marketplace aggregator tailored for pro traders on the Polygon network. Despite still not being fully open, Dew has been steadily gaining trading volumes. Dew offers features that help traders, such as fast listing updates, floor sweeping, and advanced charts. To get access to Dew, you need an invite from one of the existing users (each user gets 5 invites). 🔍 **Polygon NFT collections** While Polygon has lots of run-of-the-mill PFP collections, it’s also home to some of the most interesting NFT experiments. **1. Y00ts** Launched in September 2022 on Solana, y00ts is a generative art project with 15,000 NFTs. The project made headlines when De Labs, the company behind y00ts, got a $3 million grant from Polygon to move the collection from Solana to the Polygon blockchain. The transfer started in March, and now over 12k NFTs are on Polygon. With a 2 ETH floor, it’s currently the top collection on Polygon. **2. Lens profiles** @lensprotocol handles are a hot commodity — still, only whitelisted addresses can mint the handle. While mining is free, the floor price is over $200. The total volume traded is over 4.2 million MATIC, according to MagicEden. Collected Lens posts are also Polygon NFTs. However, a different collection is created for each post. So the market is somewhat fragmented and posts rarely feature in the lists of trending NFTs. **3. Reddit Collectible Avatars** Reddit chose the Polygon blockchain to launch the sale of their collective avatars. Reddit sold over 10 *million* NFTs with a total market cap exceeding $75 million. Recently, Reddit launched the second wave of avatars from 100 different artists. Each artist has a separate NFT collection. **4. Sandbox land NFTs** In November 2022, Sandbox, the popular metaverse and gaming platform, started to sell their digital land as Polygon NFTs, moving on from Ethereum. Most Sanbox land plots are now traded on Polygon with a total volume of over 6.2 million MATIC. The land isn’t cheap: the average price is over 1,000 MATIC. **5. Unstoppable Domains** Similar to ENS, Unstoppable Domains offer domain names as NFTs. Unlike ENS, these NFTs live on the Polygon blockchain. There are over 3 million domain NFTs. So the floor price is extremely low. However, shorter and more memorable domains could be valuable. **6. Galxe OAT2** Galxe OAT (On-chain Achievement Token) are free NFTs issued for taking parts in various campaigns on Galxe. Over 9 million OATs were issued. While OATs are minted for free, some people buy them. Perhaps they expect to qualify for some whitelisted, allowlists, or other on-chain opportunities. **7. Gaming NFTs** Polygon is the network of choice for many blockchain games. Some of those games use NFTs to represent characters and items in the games. Game NFTs are often even more volatile than other collections. That’s because the value of NFTs can depend on the in-game mechanics (which can change). Games can also quickly go viral and can fall out of favor just as fast. To find interesting game NFTs on Polygon, you can simply filter collections on OpenSea. MagicEden also has a dedicated Games tab, which features various blockchain games. 👀 **How to view your Polygon NFTs** Not every crypto wallet adequately displays Polygon NFTs. However, Zerion Wallet fully supports the Polygon blockchain, including NFTs. You can easily import your existing wallet via a seed phrase or private key. When you mint or buy NFTs, you can see them in your transaction history. After that, the NFT will show up in a dedicated part of the portfolio that tracks NFTs across all chains. Alternatively, you can connect your existing wallet to the Zerion web app and see all your Polygon NFTs. Try Zerion Wallet 👉 https://link.zerion.io/uN2UIMB0Xyb

As Justice Is Sought for Do Kwon, South Korea’s Crypto Scene Emerges From Terra Luna’s Shadow The collapse of Terra continues to reverberate in Do Kwon’s homeland, but there are signs of progress, CoinDesk’s Emily Parker reports. Terra Luna is back in the news as the United States and South Korea vie for the extradition of Terraform Labs co-founder and CEO Do Kwon, a Korean national who was recently arrested in Montenegro. The Korean crypto community is likely more invested in the outcome, but some actually prefer that Kwon be sent to the U.S. because the punishment might be harsher there. The collapse of the Terra Luna stablecoin project reverberated throughout the world, causing some $60 billion to evaporate. But the longest shadow fell over Korea, where it remains today. The 2022 crash was all over the local media, which reported that the project had some 200,000 local victims. “Even my grandpa knew about Luna,” said SungMo Park, head of Korea business development at Polygon Labs. Projects that built on top of Terra found themselves homeless, at least temporarily. A once pro-crypto presidential administration started to appear much less enthusiastic. To this day, the state of crypto regulation in Korea is not terribly friendly. Terraform Labs was based in Singapore, not Korea, but the project played a special role in Kwon’s native country. When I visited Seoul a few months ago, memories of the crash were vivid. I heard about people selling their homes to invest in Luna, as well as speculation that if Kwon had returned to Korea after the crash, he likely would have been killed. The downfall of a prominent, Korean-born founder clearly had a psychological impact. “Do was a very young Korean leader making a big change in the global scene. There was no software company in Korea that was making that kind of impact on the global level,” said Jiyun Kim, CEO and co-founder of DSRV, which ran a Terra validator in Korea. “He was a kind of north star for Korean crypto founders.” “Koreans don’t really think Koreans are capable of going global,” said Lloyd Lee, founder and CEO of Hyperithm, a digital asset management firm that is based in both Seoul and Tokyo. “There were two stars that actually broke that belief. One was [the K-pop boy band] BTS, the second was Do Kwon.” Going sideways When it comes to crypto, Korea is one of the most powerful markets in the world. The Korean won is the second most traded national currency for Bitcoin, after the U.S. dollar, according to Coinhills. A report by Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) in September of last year said there were nearly seven million registered crypto users in Korea. The digital asset industry market size was nearly 23 trillion won for the first half of 2022, or close to $18 billion at current exchange rates. It dropped to 19 trillion won in the second half of the year, according to a newer report. There were two stars that actually broke that belief. One was [the K-pop boy band] BTS, the second was Do Kwon The Terra crash appears to have taken a toll on local crypto trading, though of course there were other factors as well. In the first half of 2022, the domestic virtual asset market showed a decrease of 58% in market capitalization compared to the second half of 2021, according to the FIU. The report attributed this drop to the economic toll of the Ukraine crisis, rising interest rates and decreasing liquidity, “as well as the decline in trust in virtual assets due to the Terra-Luna incident.” Unfortunately, Terra Luna was not the end of the drama. According to CoinGecko, Korea was the hardest hit by FTX.com’s collapse. Just this month, the Korean exchange Gdac was hacked for nearly $13 million. In December major crypto exchanges delisted the controversial token Wemix, leading to a loss of nearly $300 million in market cap. None of this would be reassuring to regulators and businesses who already suspected that crypto was unsafe. The Terra Luna crash, among other factors, seems to have had a political effect as well. In last year’s presidential election, candidates adopted crypto-friendly positions in an apparent attempt to win over young voters. The winner, President Yoon Suk-Yeol pledged to restrict taxes for crypto gains and allow initial coin offerings. His win came with a flurry of media headlines suggesting a crypto-friendly administration, with the price of at least one Korean crypto project soaring on these high hopes. But Yoon assumed the presidency in May of 2022, the very same month Terra collapsed. “The new government can’t just go pro-crypto when all this Terra Luna happened and people are losing their assets or money, and companies are going bankrupt…and all these social problems are happening at the same time,” Hyperithm’s Lee said. “They can’t just say, we’re going to keep our pro-crypto stance. So they backed away a bit.” Hedging risk Earlier this year, Korean media reported that lawmakers were working on the Digital Asset Basic Act (DABA), which collectively refers to 17 draft bills that largely focus on investor protection. As of now, none of these bills has passed. “We were on the way to make some new crypto legislation, especially after the new presidential administration started. But so far there has been almost no new regulation, only discussions in Parliament,” said Jongbaek Park, a partner at Bae, Kim and Lee. #lens #lenster
LIVE BLOG: Ethereum's Shanghai UpgradeCoinDesk reporters and editors chronicle the first-ever activation of withdrawals from the Ethereum staking mechanism, set for Wednesday at 6:27 p.m. ET (22:27 UTC). We've got the play-by-play on Shanghai – also known as 'Shapella' – from what we're seeing on the blockchain to the watch parties. **12:10 p.m. (MN):** Nansen, a leading blockchain data provider, has released its Shanghai Upgrade dashboard so eager folks can track ETH deposits and withdrawals once Shapella is live. The Withdrawal Queue list is already starting to pick up! **11:30 a.m. (BK):** ICYMI here's a link to our roundup of all the Shanghai watch parties planned for Wednesday night, and a bunch of other great web tools that people can use to monitor the action on the blockchain – compiled by Ethereum beat reporter extraordinaire Margaux Nijkerk and blockchain-data-master Sage D. Young: Ethereum’s Shanghai Upgrade: Here’s Our Guide to Watch Parties, Blockchain Tools. **11:26 a.m. (BK):** Galaxy Digital's Christine Kim put together a cool primer on what to watch for. She tweeted this out April 6 but we were just having a look and she does a really good job of breaking down some of the technical stuff. A teaser: "The major code change in Shapella is EIP 4895, which adds a new system-level operation to support validator withdrawals. The addition of withdrawal functionality to the Ethereum codebase represents the final step in completing the network’s multi-year transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus protocol." **11:17 a.m. (BK):** One of the biggest unknowns about Shanghai upgrade is how the price of ether (ETH) will trade through it all. CoinDesk reporter Lyllah Ledesma has a story out showing just how spilt crypto market analysts are in their predictions. "Some observers expect an ether price swoon after the upgrade as users liquidate their holdings while others believe the expected uptick in the selling pressure is already baked in and the market will bounce after the event in a classic 'buy the news' move," Ledesma wrote.
Sushi DEX Recovers 100 Ether After Millions Lost on Weekend Exploit‘White hat’ hackers are working to recover more of the stolen funds as of Monday. DeFi protocol SushiSwap has recovered $186,000 worth of ether (ETH) that a hacker drained from one of its users’ wallets following a $3.3 million exploit this weekend, according to a Sunday tweet from blockchain security firm Blocksec. The attack exploited a vulnerability in the 'RouterProcessor2' contract, which is used to conduct trade routing on the SushiSwap exchange. BlockSec recovered the 100 ETH on Sunday by intercepting a transaction from prominent SushiSwap user @0xsifu’s wallet to the hacker’s wallet. BlockSec detected malicious activity during the attack attempt and was able to effectively rescue part of the funds. As such, SushiSwap lead developer Jared Grey said on Sunday that the protocol is working on a retrieval plan to secure the stolen funds and make affected users whole. “Rest assured the team is working diligently to mitigate risk and retrieve user funds,” Grey wrote in an early Sunday message on Discord. To date, 190 Ethereum addresses and over 2000 addresses on Layer 2 Arbitrum have approved the contract that facilitated this weekend’s SushiSwap exploit, according to Dune Analytics.

U.S. Treasury Warns DeFi Is Used by North Korea, Scammers to Launder Dirty Money Decentralized finance (DeFi) services that aren’t compliant with anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules pose “the most significant current illicit finance risk” in that corner of the crypto sector, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s first analysis of hazards from the technology. In an expected risk assessment, published Thursday, the Treasury Department said thieves, scammers, ransomware cyber criminals and actors for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) are using DeFi to launder proceeds from crime. On the basis of its findings, the department recommends an assessment of “possible enhancements” to U.S. anti-money laundering (AML) requirements and the rules for countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) as they should be applied to DeFi services. It also calls for input from the private sector to inform the next steps. “Clearly, we can't do this alone,” said Brian Nelson, Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, in a Thursday webcast hosted by ACAMS, a global organization focused on preventing financial crime. “We call on the private sector to use the findings of the risk assessment to inform your own risk-mitigation strategies.” The 40-page report warns that “DeFi services at present often do not implement AML/CFT controls or other processes to identify customers, allowing layering of proceeds to take place instantaneously and pseudonymously.” #lens #lenster #eth
