Диего Олива, который возглавлял команду Starknet с марта 2023 года, покидает пост. Вместо него исполнительным директором станет Джеймс Страдвик

Руководство в компании сменилось в период трудностей, с которыми уже на протяжении долгого времени сталкивается экосистема Starknet. Разбираемся, связаны ли между собой эти два фактора, и что ждет проект в будущем.

Новый исполнительный директор

Согласно официальному заявлению команды Starknet, теперь исполнительным директором станет Джеймс Страдвик. Он присоединился к компании в январе 2024-го.

Предыдущий директор Starknet Диего Олива останется в компании еще на какое-то время, чтобы сделать процесс смены руководства более плавным. После объявление о отставке в своем Х-аккаунте (бывш. «Твиттер») Олива написал следующее:

«Я чрезвычайно горжусь всем тем прогрессом и достижениями, которые мы смогли достигнуть вместе со строителями экосистемы Starknet и нашими партнерами».

Starknet — это сеть второго уровня (layer-2, L2) на Ethereum. Она использует технологию zero-knowledge (ZK) роллапов на базе STARK. По данным Santiment, Starknet входит в пятерку лучших L2-проектов по активности разработчиков за последние 30 дней.

Как дела у Starknet

В целом Starknet сейчас сталкивается с трудностями. Как показывают данные Starkscan, в последнее время платформа столкнулась со значительным снижением активности пользователей.

Если еще 21 февраля количество активных пользователей превышало 382 тыс., то уже к первому августа оно значительно просело. Сейчас Starknet пользуются всего около 13 177 человек.

Кроме того, общая заблокированная стоимость (TVL) в Starknet значительно снизилась с пиковых значений в апреле. На данный момент, согласно DefiLlama, она составляет $231,7 млн.

Многие связывают снижение участия в экосистеме проекта с разочарованием пользователей из-за изменений в требованиях к аирдропу токена STRK в феврале.

Catholic And Law Enforcement Groups Warn CLARITY Act Could Weaken Crypto Crime Safeguards

A coalition of Catholic leaders, law enforcement groups, and anti-trafficking advocates warns that the CLARITY Act could weaken safeguards against crypto-enabled crime. Their criticism focuses on provisions that would protect developers of non-custodial software (like wallets and DeFi protocols) from being regulated as money transmitters. This highlights a core regulatory dilemma: distinguishing neutral software from financial intermediation. Crypto advocates argue such developers should not be treated like exchanges, while critics fear broad exemptions could hinder the tracking of illicit finance, including human trafficking and sanctions evasion. The bill aims to create clearer market-structure rules, but this opposition shows the debate extends beyond investor protection to law enforcement concerns. The pushback means supporters may need to address these issues, potentially leading to amendments or stricter requirements. For the crypto industry, clearer rules could spur U.S. investment, but the bill faces a tougher political path if framed as weakening crime-fighting tools.

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.

South Korea Targets 40 Unregistered Crypto Operators in Regulatory Crackdown

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit has referred around 40 unregistered virtual asset service providers to the police as part of a regulatory crackdown. Under local law, all crypto exchanges must obtain ISMS certification and FIU registration before operating, yet only 28 entities are currently registered. The FIU identified methods used by offshore platforms to attract Korean users, including advertising on local messaging apps and using private money changers to convert stablecoins. Officials stressed that unregistered platforms are not protected by Korean law. This action aligns with South Korea's push for stricter global crypto compliance through FATF measures. FIU Director Lee Hyung-joo recently urged FATF members to remove transaction thresholds for the "Travel Rule," as South Korea plans to mandate identity checks for all crypto transactions starting in August, expanding from the current 1 million won (≈$730) minimum. Regulatory enforcement has intensified in 2026, with authorities pursuing criminal cases against market manipulation schemes and enhancing cooperation with financial institutions to curb cross-border illegal transactions.
