OKEx Announces Opening of Free Coin Withdrawals Before November 27th, and Simultaneously Launches Rewards for New and Old Users

On the evening of November 19, OKEx issued an announcement saying that after the withdrawal function of the OKEx platform was suspended for a period of time, the current problem has been resolved, and the relevant personnel have returned to work. The platform will open free withdrawals before November 27, 2020. The announcement also pointed out that OKEx will conduct strict security checks before opening withdrawals, restore the safe and stable operation of the hot wallet system, insist on 100% reserve funds, and there will be no run. At the same time, OKEx will launch a large-scale new and old customer feedback event, and the specific event plan will be announced in the next few days.

On November 18, at the AMA event of the Ethereum Foundation, Danny Ryan, the head of the Ethereum 2.0 project, said that if necessary, the minimum deposit threshold of the ETH 2.0 deposit contract can be adjusted to ensure the start of the ETH 2.0 genesis block. He said that I personally think that more than 100,000 ETH in the deposit contract is enough, and it makes sense to lower the threshold to prevent ETH from being trapped for too long. For these early adopters, rewards will be high, and ETH validator nodes will likely continue to grow over time. Regarding the adjustment time, Danny Ryan said that the plan to adjust immediately on November 24 or December 1 is a bit radical in my opinion. We don't know what's going to happen in the next few weeks, so we should wait and see. The client engineering team seems to want to wait until December and adjust the constant in early January if needed. This seems reasonable.

The CyberNews.com investigation team’s analysis of recent Ethereum smart contracts shows that nearly 3,800 smart contracts have serious vulnerabilities that allow hackers to quickly steal $1 million. According to the team, it will be easy for users to check whether the platform they are using is using a smart contract with any of these vulnerabilities. They can view the smart contracts on Etherscan or a similar browser to see if those contracts have been audited and verified. If the smart contract has not been audited or verified, it is recommended to avoid using that particular platform or online service.
