Week 1 recap: New session starting!
Re-deposit now and get started in the new trading session!. — Hi DerivaDAO + Traders! Week one of the Cambrian Testnet Competition is wrapping up, and a new trading session is kicking off! The testnet has been extremely robust so far, even under wild price fluctuations and liquidation cascades. There have been excellent participation rates so far, as well as really valuable testing feedback. At a glance, here are some of the numbers so far:668 unique addresses deposited600,000,000 + in 24h volume (this is testnet, but a strong indicator of what the exchange can handle!) There will also be a Discord community call this week on Thursday, again focused on the competition. If you have questions, make sure to drop by and set an event reminder!What’s Next Many users were liquidated in the first few days of the trading competition, as a few clever traders manipulated the USDC faucet before additional rules were introduced. In order to make the competition fair for more users, as well as to ensure it continues to see good participation rates (and achieve testing benchmarks), the testnet state will be reset today, and a new session will start. — What about my… open positions/testnet ddx/ PnL?. — Don’t worry! The testnet is 4 weeks long, meaning the first week is about 25% of the total. 25% of both the PnL award and the trade mining award will be earmarked for traders in this session. The remaining 75% wil...

DerivaDEX Development and Trading Competition Update
Cambrian Testnet Trading Competition will start next week.. — Hello to the DerivaDAO! Everyone (on the DEX Labs team and in the community) has been eagerly anticipating the upcoming launch of the next trading competition. This update covers the latest changes to the most recent release, what’s coming next (before a mainnet proposal), and finally, dates for the Cambrian Trading Competition!https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1eaKbNRnraaKXTry the beta!Get some kovan ETHGet some kovan USDCGo to https://beta.derivadex.io, live with the latest release, and start trading. Questions? Head over to the Discord and you should be able to get some help!What’s new in the current release? The current release features several important upgrades. — A revamped liquidation engine.. — The liquidation engine properly handles liquidation events even in very extreme scenarios (for example, no liquidity and no insurance fund). While ideally users will never encounter these situations, this means that losses are properly socialized and traders are correctly de-leveraged. This is critical for testnet especially, because unlikely scenarios occur frequently when traders are using fake money. — Snappy and bug-free UI. — The front-end for DerivaDEX has been receiving an overhaul piece-by-piece. While hopefully most of the updates here are “invisible” (i.e., things just work as you’d expect), significant improvemen...

DerivaDAO Community Update
TL;DR The DEX Labs team is heads-down working on a new release version. This version will be used for the Cambrian test-net trading competition. There are also a few updates and recent events from the DerivaDAO community.Governance and Community UpdatesA proposal to extend insurance mining for an additional 3 months did NOT pass, meaning that the insurance mining program has now stopped receiving DDX rewards. If and when the community decides to reinstate this program, it will need to be via a successful proposal.Reminder: Withdrawal fees all accrue to the DerivaDAO. Determining how and when to deploy these funds could be an early community-driven proposal.The first DerivaDAO Community Call took place recently on Discord. The next call will likely be on Twitter Spaces.DEX Labs cofounder Aditya Palepu joined Decentralised.co for discussion of DerivaDEX in a recorded conversation. This will be posted soon, and shared on all channels. Check it out for a deeper look at the operator architecture and DerivaDEX’s positioning as a DAO-first DEX. Want to be involved in future governance decisions? Join the Discord channel and keep an eye out for the next governance working group call. The DerivaDAO governance contract *does* support voting delegation, so community leaders can and should drive the conversation.Development Progress The question on everyone’s mind is “wen mainnet”, but there are a few things that still need to ha...

Cambrian Testnet Update
TL;DR: Check out Cambrian if you haven’t yet, the new DerivaDEX testnet faucet makes testing easier than ever!Cambrian is up at beta.derivadex.ioWhat is the Cambrian testnet deployment? Cambrian is the testnet deployment of DerivaDEX. It reflects the latest tested version of the exchange, so that external users and DerivaDAO members can test the exchange, provide feedback, and report issues. Cambrian is quickly updated, so that users are always seeing a version that is very close to the development release. The goal of the testnet is to rigorously test the exchange that will be proposed to mainnet.How can you use Cambrian? It’s easier than ever to use Cambrian with the brand new DerivaDEX Kovan USDC faucet! Because Cambrian is a development release, account balances and the exchange state is semi-frequently reset. Rather than waiting on new token distributions, users can now get tokens directly from the faucet as-needed.Using the DerivaDEX Faucet The faucet requires that you have a Twitter account.Tweet with hashtag #DerivaDEXtestnet and your addressThe bot will reply when send is doneGet Kovan ETH from the gitter faucet or ask in DiscordVisit http://beta.derivadex.io/ on Kovan testnet, and make a deposit! NOTE: if you already have 100K+ USDC in your account, the faucet will ignore you. Problems or questions? Hop in the Discord and ask. Remember, the Cambrian testnet deployment is on Ethereum’s Kovan network. Y...

Why Hardware Matters
TL;DR — An often under-explored aspect of DeFi is the resilience of hardware operators. When these operators go down, as occurred recently with dYdX, what happens to the system?. — — In today’s article, we explore the role and resiliency of the DerivaDEX Operators.. — Why Decentralize Finance? There is roughly $100 billion of value captured in decentralized finance (DeFi) native applications today. The last time there was such a fundamental shift in how people use, interact and think about money was likely around the time of the dot-com boom when users were able to ‘spend’ money online through avenues such as eBay. Three fundamental forces are accelerating the adoption of DeFi.Financial institutions have a new avenue to trade, lend and borrow with a fraction of the friction previously required.Retail participants have new access to financial applications that may not have been readily available to them through traditional alternatives.Newfound wealth within crypto is underserved by traditional banking avenues. Applications such as Uniswap and Compound have scaled substantially by offering to anyone products formerly only available via banks. However, the cost of decentralization is often in performance, and centralization can creep in and create vulnerabilities in applications and markets. Most recently, derivatives exchange dYdX became dysfunctional for several hours in relation to an AWS out...

Introduction to DerivaDEX Architecture
This article explains the DerivaDEX architecture at a high level. Future posts will dig into the security model, specific components like the price feed or checkpointing system, or programs like trade mining or the insurance fund. If there’s a topic you’d particularly like to see covered, please reach out in the Discord!Overview DerivaDEX is a decentralized derivatives exchange platform entirely controlled by the DerivaDAO. Deposits and withdrawals (of USDC) are handled on Ethereum, whereas all trading and other exchange-related transactions occur on the DerivaDEX operator network (you may have heard this referred to as a “custom L2”). Two tranches of insurance funds, “staked” (from insurance mining) and “organic” (from USD-paid fees) are managed by the DerivaDAO and used to backstop traders against auto-deleveraging.Why use an off-chain network for exchange operations?Speed. DerivaDEX will compete with centralized alternatives on performance, including enabling high-frequency trading and other modern strategies. This is only possible via off-chain matching (with sub-second finality).Cost. Paying Ethereum gas transactions is unrealistic for trading at volume.What is the DerivaDEX operator network? The DerivaDEX operator network is a purpose-built sidechain of operators that execute code within “trusted execution environments” (TEEs). A TEE is a region of protected memory that cannot be tampered with by w...

 | Bittrex Fined With $53 Million For Violating Anti-Money Laundering Laws
Cryptocurrencies are supposed to be censorship resistant... Cryptocurrency exchanges, not so much. Bittrex found this out the hard way after a record fine imposed by the U.S. regulators.
On October 11, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced that Bittrex, a Washington-based cryptocurrency exchange, will be fined $53 million for violating multiple securities laws.
According to the statement, Bittrex violated sanctions laws and anti-money laundering obligations, resulting in two fines of more than $24 million and $29 million, respectively. This would be the largest enforcement action ever imposed by the OFAC on a cryptocurrency exchange.
Sanctioned Countries Moved Nearly $263 Million in Bittrex
According to the OFAC, Bittrex allowed individuals from Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria to use its platform to move nearly $263,451,600.13 between March 2014 and December 2017.
Bittrex agreed to pay $24,280,829.20 to the U.S. regulators for making 116,421 apparent violations of multiple sanctions programs and $29,280,829.20 for its willful violations of the BSA's AML program and SAR requirements.
The fine emphasizes the importance of implementing appropriate controls in compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act's (BSA's) anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions and obligations to the crypto industry, according to OFAC.
It further stated that 'inaction,' lack of proper background research, o...
