We are incredibly sorry about the offensive messages posted today. 1: no funds/etc. were affected; this did not interact with any trading features. 2: we have revoked access to the compromised Signal submitter and removed the messages.

2) No trading features/funds/etc. were at risk. Those are part of a totally separate part of the system and are in line with FTX's standards. The affected portion was around display and news/Signal.

3) Over the next month I'll be leading a security review of the old, non-trading-related parts of Blockfolio to bring them in line with the standards set by trading, and by FTX more generally.

4) We're giving $10 to every trading in Blockfolio user, and the next ones who sign up this week. If any user was personally impacted by push notifications from the app, they will of course be included as well.

5) No members of the Blockfolio team wanted this to happen. But we are all responsible for our product and will be doing what we can to fix this. I'll also be donating to the ACLU today, as will a number of other staff members.

The pro of this org is that they are directly fighting the legislative and legal battles. They have deep connection to black history and your donations here would open up the door to more discussion of the empowerment potential of Cryptocurrrencies in the black community.

In regards to

, they have been around since 1944 and are responsible for doubling the educational attainment of black communities. By donating to them, it would open the door to further educating black communities about Cryptocurrencies from an academic perspective.
