Hi everyone,
Following our recent discussion with the Flare Foundation, our team would like to provide management group members with an update regarding the new restructuring of our team and the implementation of our new algorithm.
Firstly, we have made the decision to end our partnership with our previously private senior developer, who was referred to as Mayank on LinkedIn. A combination of factors has led us to terminate our contract with Mayank.
-
Technical price spike similarities with LoveFTSO: Recent evidence has come to light, showing technical price spike similarities between our data provider and LoveFTSO. This discovery raises concerns about the integrity of Mayank’s practices.
-
Direct discussions with the Flare Foundation: Our direct discussions with the Flare Foundation, as well as evidence and the discussion within this management group, have highlighted areas of concern regarding Mayank’s practices.
-
Our team expressed concerns presented by this management group and directed them to Mayank, where we requested an explanation. Additionally, we pushed for a Know Your Customer (KYC) process to ensure transparency and accountability. Since initiating our requests, Mayank deactivated their LinkedIn account and cut off all communication with our team.
To be as transparent as possible we would like to share details about our previous operational structure and the rebuilding process we have undergone over the last couple of weeks.
Our previous operations structure involved our CTO, Rafi, setting up and managing a basic backend server where Mayank would send the price data to our server. However, due to recent developments, we have made the decision to terminate our partnership with Mayank. As a result of this, we have taken the initiative to develop our own algorithm, which is now controlled and managed by our CTO, Rafi.
The development and implementation of our new algorithm has led to a noticeable decrease in our success rate. Additionally, this restructuring has resulted in changes to the wallet addresses to which any of our ongoing FTSO and STSO SGB/FLR rewards will be sent to.
To address @Brent-4Dads concern about previous instances of compromised private keys, thankfully, in our situation, our private key was never shared with Mayank. Therefore, we plan to continue our data provider operations under the same FTSO and STSO addresses.
We would like to extend our sincere apologies for our recent misunderstanding of the accusations brought forth, as well as any shortcomings on our part. We want to assure you that we have reflected upon this experience and are committed to learning from it and we are committed to upholding the professionalism, integrity, and accountability in all our actions going forward.
