Cryptocurrency exchange CoinFLEX announced that it is close to being able to start distributing comprehensive assets to creditors in accordance with the approved restructuring terms. CoinFLEX expects to pay out the rvUSD portion early next week, and expects equity issuance to begin later in the week, but there may be delays in the process. In addition, CoinFLEX plans to distribute USDC/USDT equity at the end of next week, depending on each creditor submitting additional KYC documents, including passports and proof of address, as required by Seychelles law and regulations. Creditors have up to six months to comply with these KYC requirements, otherwise their equity may be forfeited by the company.
Service provider Lemma, a member of the Arbitrum Foundation, has launched “AIP-1: Arbitrum Improvement Proposal Framework” on Snapshot, proposing the establishment of ArbitrumDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization to be managed by ARB holders. The organization will be able to collectively decide and implement changes from core protocol technology to non-technical decisions. According to the AIP process specified in the ArbitrumDAO charter, ArbitrumDAO will have direct on-chain governance over the DAO treasury. In order to provide effective governance for ArbitrumDAO and promote the development of governance chains, 3,527,046,079 ARB tokens have been transferred to the DAO treasury. To improve operational and administrative efficiency, a separate account (administrative budget wallet) controlled by the Arbitrum Foundation will be created. 750 million ARB tokens will be transferred to the administrative budget wallet to provide special appropriations, compensate service providers for their total setup costs, and pay for the ongoing administrative and operational costs of the Arbitrum Foundation. Additional funds for the administrative budget wallet will need to be approved by the ArbitrumDAO through the AIP process. The voting deadline for this proposal is April 4th at 06:13.
