ACTION AREA 3: Advance Responsible State Behavior in Cyberspace and Counter Threats to Cyberspace and Critical Infrastructure by Building Coalitions and Engaging Partners At the UN and regional security bodies, the United States, along with its allies and partners, is working to advance responsible state behavior in cyberspace based on a UN General Assembly-endorsed framework, underpinned by the applicability of existing international law, adherence to globally accepted and voluntary norms of state behavior in peacetime, development and implementation of confidence-building measures to reduce the risk of conflict in cyberspace, and a commitment to building states’ capacities to implement the elements of the framework. Despite a global consensus on the framework for responsible behavior in cyberspace, the norms are not self-enforcing. Some states act in ways contrary to it. When a state engages in significant destructive, disruptive, or otherwise destabilizing malicious cyber activity contrary to the framework, responsible states must cooperate to hold that irresponsible state accountable. Digital solidarity in this context is demonstrated by sustained mutual support and coordinated campaigns. The United States and its partners share cyber threat information to help build resilience to and disrupt malicious activities; show solidarity to victims by helping respond to significant incidents, thereby signaling to adversaries they cannot isolate a target country through malicious operations; and ensure accountability for destructive, disruptive, and otherwise destabilizing cyber activities in concert with likeminded countries. The United States and some allies also have affirmed the application to cyberspace of their respective mutual defense treaty obligations. In addition, the Department of State and other federal agencies are working with allies and partners to disrupt ransomware and other criminal networks and safeguard democratic processes and institutions. Looking forward, the United States will continue efforts like these to advance responsible behavior in cyberspace, and counter threats to cyberspace and our critical infrastructure by building coalitions and engaging partners.

Multi-State Coalition Seeks Comprehensive Relief Against Amazon for Antitrust Violations 

The United States v. Meta Platforms Court Filing October 24, 2023 is part of . You can jump to any part in this filing . This is part 8 of 100. HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series here VI. DEFENDANTS 22. The Defendants in this action include Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Platforms), Instagram, LLC (Instagram), Meta Payments, Inc. (Meta Payments), and Meta Platforms Technologies, LLC (Meta Technologies) (collectively, Meta). 23. Defendant Meta Platforms is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Menlo Park, California. As relevant here, Meta Platforms, through itself or its subsidiaries, develops, markets, and operates Social Media Platforms and other internet-based Platforms and products including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. Meta also develops, markets, and operates the VR Social Media Platform Horizon Worlds. 24. Meta Platforms transacts or has transacted business in this District, the Filing States, and throughout the United States. At all times material to this Complaint, acting alone or in concert with its subsidiaries (identified below), Meta Platforms has advertised, marketed, and distributed its Social Media Platforms to consumers throughout the United States. 25. Meta Platforms was formerly known as Facebook, Inc. until it changed its corporate name in October 2021. In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg founded the Social Media Platform The Facebook, while a student at Harvard University. At that time, Myspace was popular, along with websites like Friendster and Flickr. The Facebook spread among colleges via word of mouth and exclusive invitations and became more popular among young adults. Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard to develop the Platform into a company, and it became known as Facebook. 26. Facebook’s popularity not only grew—it changed the entire landscape of the internet. In 2004, only 5% of U.S. adults used any social media platform. As of 2021, 69% of U.S. adults used Facebook alone. 27. Following the success of Facebook, Meta Platforms expanded through a series of acquisitions. On April 9, 2012, Meta Platforms purchased Instagram reportedly for $1 billion. Meta Platforms acquired Instagram in part because it believed that if Instagram grew to a large scale, it could be very disruptive to Facebook. 28. More importantly, Instagram was most popular among young users—a market where Meta was seeking to expand as Facebook’s primary audience aged and the Platform lost its “cool” factor. 29. By the end of 2016, Instagram grew to over 600 million users. By 2018, Instagram had revenues surpassing $10 billion, and it has been estimated to be valued at over $100 billion. An estimated 62% of teens in the United States regularly use Instagram. 30. Meta Platforms has also expanded into virtual reality gaming, hardware, and software, since acquiring the virtual reality headset creator Oculus in 2014. 31. In October 2021, Facebook rebranded the company to “Meta,” a move meant to encapsulate that its subsidiaries and products went beyond the Facebook Platform and to emphasize its work on the so-called “metaverse.” 32. As a result of acquisitions such as Instagram and Oculus, Meta Platforms has continued to dominate the market of Social Media Platforms and apps, becoming the largest social media company in the world. As of October 2023, Meta Platforms’ market capitalization— the value of the company—exceeded $800 billion. 33. At all times material to this Complaint, Meta Platforms formulated, directed, controlled, had the authority to control, or participated in the acts and practices set forth in this Complaint. 34. Defendant Meta Platforms currently operates its business primarily through its subsidiaries. Meta Platforms’ key subsidiaries include Instagram, Meta Payments, and Meta Platforms Technologies. 35. Defendant Instagram offers a mobile application that enables users to share content such as photographs and videos online and over social networks. Instagram is a limited liability company formed in Delaware, and shares its principal place of business in Menlo Park, California, with Meta Platforms. Defendant Meta Platforms is the sole member or manager of Instagram. 36. Defendant Meta Payments is incorporated in the State of Florida and shares its principal place of business in Menlo Park, California, with Meta Platforms. Meta Payments processes payments made through Meta’s Social Media Platforms. Meta Platforms directly owns Meta Payments, its subsidiary. 37. Defendant Meta Technologies is a Delaware limited liability company and shares its principal place of business in Menlo Park, California, with Meta Platforms. Previously known as Facebook Technologies, LLC, Meta Technologies has absorbed Meta’s Oculus business segment, which it acquired in 2014. Meta Technologies develops Meta’s virtual reality technology. Defendant Meta Platforms is the sole member or manager of Meta Technologies. 38. As detailed in the allegations below, Meta Platforms, itself and through its Defendant subsidiaries over which it exercises authority and control (collectively, Meta), has engaged in, and continues to engage in, unfair, deceptive, and unlawful activity in the Filing States and in this District. 39. Meta operates as a common enterprise. All Defendants have their principal place of business at Meta Platforms’ corporate headquarters in Menlo Park, California. As discussed below, senior executives at Meta Platforms, including Zuckerberg—Meta Platforms’ CEO, board chair, and controlling shareholder—exercise control over important policy and staffing decisions relating to its Social Media Platforms. 40. Meta also represents itself as a common enterprise. Meta’s financial disclosures describe Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, as Meta’s “‘family’ of products,” and report revenue and expenses for the entire “family” together. Instagram’s Terms of Use agreement currently identifies “The Instagram Service” as “one of the Meta Products, provided to you by Meta Platforms, Inc.” Meta’s supplemental terms of service for its “Meta Platforms Technologies Products” is similarly styled as an agreement between Meta Platforms and the user. “Meta Platforms Technologies Products” are defined to include its VR-related products, such as its Meta Quest and Oculus virtual reality headsets, and Meta Horizon Worlds, its virtual reality Social Media Platform. Meta Platforms also reports its revenue from its VR business segment in its financial disclosures. 41. Meta’s corporate website represents the leaders of its subsidiaries as Meta’s “executives” alongside Zuckerberg and other Meta Platforms executives. For example, Adam Mosseri is identified as “Head of Instagram” and is described as having “been at Meta” for more than 11 years. Stephane Kasriel, the CEO of Meta Payments, is identified on Meta’s website as “the head of Commerce and Financial Technologies at Meta” who “oversees all commerce and fintech work across Meta’s technologies and platforms.” 42. [Redacted] 43. In addition to sharing a headquarters, [Redacted] 44. Because Meta operates as a common enterprise, each Defendant is jointly and severally liable for the acts and practices alleged below. Continue Reading .

Multi-State Coalition of Attorneys General Puts Meta's Social Media Platforms on Blast 

The Alliance For Creativity and Entertainment has been quietly comandeering more pirate site domains, presumably as part of settlement arrangements with their former owners. One domain relates to a previously announced case but three others, all connected to pirate IPTV, are reported today for the first time. The Alliance for Creativity Entertainment (ACE) is the largest anti-piracy coalition in history. It pools the resources of all the major Hollywood studios plus Netflix, Amazon and dozens of other companies to tackle piracy on a global scale. ACE has made many announcements over the past couple of years celebrating successful conclusions to multiple operations. Most relate to closures of file-hosting services, IPTV providers and other platforms involved in the unlicensed streaming of movies and TV shows. However, for reasons best known to the coalition, not all of its investigations are publicized. Many fly under the radar until visitors to once-active websites find themselves being directed to the ACE anti-piracy portal when they expected to find a ‘pirate’ platform. According to information obtained by TorrentFreak, four new domains have recently begun redirecting to ACE. The first, ausmediastreaming.com.au, comes as no surprise. In early March, ACE revealed that it had secured the closure of the IPTV supplier following a cease-and-desist order. “The closure of Aus Media Streaming is the latest in a series of victories that can protect Australian creators and ensure that legal services can continue to thrive,” said Karyn Temple, Senior Executive Vice President and Global General Counsel of the Motion Picture Association. The second fresh domain under ACE/MPA control is watchmoviesfree.com.au. When it was online, the site asked prospective customers whether they wanted to watch “Every single movie, TV show, sporting event, documentary, kids TV and movie ever made, free?” Concluding that the answer must be “Of course you do”, the site then went on to offer Android-based set-top devices named Octo-Ninja and Ninja-Quad. It’s unclear what was in those devices but either a pre-loaded setup and/or a subscription-based IPTV service seems likely. Before it was taken down, the domain offered an Australian telephone number for people to get in touch. EmpireTV.ca is the third domain. According to its now disappeared website and Facebook pages, it claimed to be the “top streaming service in Canada”, offering over 5,000 channels plus on-demand movies, TV shows, PPV and more from $9.99 per month. Various packages were made available by the site, varying in price according to subscription length and levels of content available. The site was previously targeted in a after supplying German football content without permission. It also had a detailed disclaimer that clearly didn’t cut much ice with ACE. DMCA complaint “We have no association with any of the IP channels shown or any of these products. TV channels and video content of the services are being provided without any liability from us regarding copyrights,” it began. “Per our knowledge all channels provided by the server sellers abide by all relevant countries copyright laws and any copyright issues must be taken up directly with the server owners. EMPIRETV.CA does not take any liability as to what is aired on the servers and EMPIRETV.CA have NO control over the servers or streams.” With EmpireTV.ca now redirecting to the ACE portal, the fourth domain to be placed under the anti-piracy group’s control (or more accurately, that of the MPA) is ZeddIPTV.com. Little is known about this supplier but given that it was previously offered via classified listings in Australia, it may have been focused on that region. Although nothing has been officially confirmed by ACE in respect of ‘seizing’ any of these domains, it seems likely that following pressure from the anti-piracy group, domains were handed over as part of a settlement. ACE has shuttered close to three dozen operations to date but publicized just a few.

ACE Coalition Seizes Four More ‘Pirate’ IPTV Domains

Plex has become the latest neutral technology to get slammed for not doing enough to prevent movie and TV show piracy. According to pro-copyright lobby group CreativeFuture, which represents more than 560 companies and organizations, Plex - like Kodi - is a "dangerous digital media player" that has joined the ranks of "internet heavyweights who refuse to take responsibility for the criminal behavior on their platforms." In days gone by, living rooms around the world could be found stacked with video cassette tapes full of films and TV shows. Some bought, others recorded at home, these copies would need to be waded through, to find whatever content the owner fancied watching that day. With the rise of digital technology, however, such physical collections have largely disappeared, replaced by copies that occupy virtually zero space, with thousands of movies, TV shows, music tracks, and photographs effortlessly stored on relatively cheap hard drives. Paper-based indexing systems, for those who cared to maintain them in the analog age, have now been replaced by software that not only does all the hard work but also makes collections a thing of beauty. While there are alternatives, , the clear market leader is Plex. However, the company behind the software is now facing a backlash for failing to control how people interact with its creation. Emby for example According to CreativeFuture, a pro-copyright coalition of more than 560 companies and organizations, Plex – which is basically a pretty media player – is helping to fan the flames of piracy. While there are some exceptions which we’ll come to shortly, people generally need to be in physical possession of movies or TV shows to watch them using Plex, with torrents providing the necessary material. “[T]he problem now finds itself on a dangerous precipice where it could easily slip right back into becoming a crisis again, as it was in the mid-2000s – before streaming was all the rage,” Creative Future writes. “Thanks to a rapidly growing media application called Plex, torrent-based piracy is back in vogue, and better than ever (for criminals who have no problem with profiting from content that doesn’t belong to them, that is).” To set the scene, that Plex is some kind of ‘rogue’ application, CreativeFuture (CF) aligns the media player with another piece of software, one that has also suffered reputational damage as a result of its users’ activities. The choice of adjective to describe both is particularly interesting. “To understand what Plex is and how it functions, it is helpful to look at Kodi – another dangerous digital media player that we have written about repeatedly here at CreativeFuture,” CF . notes The claim that Plex is dangerous is supported by an published in The Verge, which reported on so-called ‘Plex shares’. Without going into the minutiae, ‘shares’ effectively allow Plex users to access content on other users’ Plex servers which, in some cases, could have been obtained illegally. article That some Plex users allow others to access huge libraries of pirated content is a fact, with some by anti-piracy groups such as BREIN. But, in common with so many piracy controversies in recent years, CF feels that if Plex users are doing something illegal, then the company behind the Plex software should be held responsible for their actions. being targeted In this respect, CF claims that like “most” tech platforms, Plex is doing what it can to avoid accountability. “In turning a blind eye to its piracy problem, Plex has joined the ranks of internet heavyweights who refuse to take responsibility for the criminal behavior on their platforms,” the copyright coalition notes. “With heightened scrutiny on the biggest platforms, lawmakers across the country, and abroad, have increasingly demonstrated less tolerance for tech companies that sidestep law and order in their relentless quest for user growth.” Quite what CF believes Plex should do isn’t covered. If we take current industry strategies as a benchmark, we might guess that the organization would encourage the use of some kind of pro-active filtering mechanism, which would prevent Plex users from adding potentially infringing material to their own computers. Of course, that would mean massive implications for end-user privacy, almost impossible calculations to determine who is allowed to add content to a library within the law in multiple jurisdictions, plus an inevitable backlash and migration to other platforms that reject such intrusions. It would also require the company behind Plex to get deeply involved and therefore acquire ‘knowledge’ of infringing user behavior, something that raises all kinds of red flags. The piece, which deserves to be in its own right, also accuses or Reddit of being a “notorious piracy-enabling outlet”. What it fails to mention, and probably should’ve done, however, is that Plex is already making progress with various entertainment industry groups to tackle piracy in the best way possible – providing users with . read easy access to licensed content In 2019, Plex it would begin streaming thousands of free movies, TV shows and music documentaries from within the app, after striking deals with relevant rightsholders. The content is ad-supported and the hope is to expand the offering in the future. announced “Over time, we’ll be adding more stuff from different studios and creators — from Oscar-winning Hollywood movies to the latest from India, Russia, China, Japan, Africa, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe to really cool independent movies fresh off the festival circuit,” the company said. That Plex now finds itself in the firing line isn’t really a surprise – if Reddit is a “notorious” enabler of piracy, then any company with end users could find itself tarred with the same brush. TorrentFreak contacted the software developer for its opinion on the latest set of claims but at the time of publication, Plex chose to remain silent.

Plex Slammed By Huge Copyright Coalition For Not Policing Pirates

In a major leap for Web3 technology, Rocket has teamed up with M3 DAO, MetaMars, and VooPay to build a transformative alliance focused on reshaping the digital economy. This coalition combines a diverse range of expertise and resources, setting a new precedent for a cohesive, user-centered ecosystem in the Web3 space. By uniting, the four companies aim to accelerate innovation, enhance user experiences, and create a seamless integration of blockchain capabilities. The alliance draws parallels to successful collaborations like those of Ethereum, Chainlink, and Aave. Each contributes distinct capabilities: Ethereum offers a robust foundational blockchain, Chainlink provides reliable oracles, and Aave enables decentralized finance (DeFi) lending and borrowing. This synergy has fueled the growth of over $75 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) across DeFi platforms, proving the power of collaborative efforts. Building a Unified Ecosystem in Web3 Historically, the Web3 landscape has been fragmented, with individual projects struggling to gain traction independently. Each member of this alliance has made strides in their respective fields: M3 DAO has advanced in decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance, MetaMars has pioneered metaverse development, and VooPay has broken new ground in cryptocurrency payment solutions. Their shared vision centers on a unified Web3 ecosystem, where users, developers, and project teams are interconnected, fostering rapid and collaborative growth. M3 DAO, known for its community-governed digital ecosystems, integrates the metaverse, Layer 2 blockchain solutions, and digital asset management. MetaMars empowers users within a Mars-themed metaverse, while VooPay revolutionizes Web3 payments, bridging the gap with traditional financial systems. Recognizing the need for cooperative innovation, Rocket joined forces with these pioneers to create an ecosystem that enhances accessibility, interactivity, and value for users.

With the exponential growth of stablecoins in 2024, it's safe to say that RWA tokenization is the next big thing. According to RWA.xyz, stablecoins recorded a massive 3800% growth between 2020 and 2024, surging from $4 billion to over $156 billion and bringing its total RWA market share to over 90%. This article provides fresh insights into the state of RWA tokenization in 2024, focusing on the growth statistics, its key players, market predictions and emerging trends. State of RWA in brief The brave new world of RWA tokenization has attracted significant attention in traditional finance where–according to a recent survey by Tokenized Assets Coalition–about 86% of Fortune 500 executives recognize its potential benefits. Moreover, there has been a consistent institutional narrative about its projected growth, with leading market analysts estimating trillions of dollars of tokenized assets by 2030. RWA tokenization has recently emerged as a fast growing trend with the potential to shape the global investment landscape, thanks to the surging stablecoin volume and a fast paced institutional adoption. While payment stablecoin is leading the charge, real estate is the sleeping giant of RWA tokenization. Other use cases such as treasury bonds, private credits, commodities and stocks add significantly to the industry’s trillions of dollars worth of total addressable markets. RWA Tokenization Growth The growth pattern of RWA tokenization has inspired an interesting narrative about its huge potential. According to the recent report by Tokenized Assets Coalition, the current market size of tokenized assets is valued at $186 billion with a 32% year-to-date increase and over 150 tokenized asset issuers around the globe. Based on a sector specific analysis, stablecoin is responsible for a large percentage of the growth of the RWA total market size, while others sectors such as real estate, commodities(ie gold, silver, etc), and treasury bonds,  have not only gained significant traction but have also shown tremendous growth potential as well. For instance, the tokenized real estate market is poised to experience a rapid growth in the years ahead as it continues to attract significant attention from traditional institutions lured by its potential to usher in liquidity and open up access to retail investors globally. According to Block square, the tokenized real estate sector is estimated to reach $26 billion by 2034. Furthermore, there are some other notable events that point to the growth and mainstream recognition of the RWA tokenization. These include MakerDOA's $1 billion investment in tokenized US treasuries, Goldman Sachs’s RWA tokenization projects, BlackRock's investment in US treasuries through its $500 million BUIDL fund, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ 2024 RWA Tokenization cohort and the US tokenized treasures reaching a $1 billion milestone. Most importantly, the growth of RWA tokenization is very much tied to the increasing role of payment stablecoin in traditional finance as evident in its ability to bring about instant settlement and low fees.  The billion dollar moves by key players such as Goldman Sachs, MakerDAO, Ripple, Coinbase, BlackRock, etc. also contribute to the growth trajectory and future outlook. Key Institutional Players There is a growing list of key institutional players that are genuinely interested in RWA tokenization’s potential to shape the global investment landscape. According to a recent Coinbase report, 35% of Fortune 500 companies are gravitating towards tokenization projects. Below are some of the key players shaping the future of tokenized assets: BlackRock World's largest asset manager, BlackRock, announced its foray into RWA tokenization through its BUIDL fund. A significant investment in the US tokenized treasuries. Now worth over $600 million, BlackRock's BUIDL fund allows investors to invest in tokenized US treasuries, which is a game changer for fund management and the institutional adoption of blockchain technology. MakerDAO MakerDAO is the company behind DAI, an overcollateralized stablecoin, and a key player in the RWA space. It recently announced a $1 billion investment in the US tokenized treasuries. Goldman Sachs As a leading investment bank, Goldman Sachs has demonstrated a visionary leadership financial innovation through its proposed tokenization of institutional-grade assets targeting the US and EU markets. It seeks to provide  institutional clients with investment options in tokenized securities, real estate and commodities. Coinbase As a leading crypto exchange, Coinbase is spearheading a major foray into RWA tokenization. It recently entered a partnership with eNor Securities to offer tokenized assets to retail investors in Latin America, as part of its broader expansion strategy in the region. Market Predictions Market predictions are consistently estimating trillions of dollars of tokenized assets by 2030 and beyond. In a recent report by the Tokenized Assets Coalition (TAC), Mckinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group(BCG) and Citibank predicted that there will be $2, $16 and $5 Trillion worth of tokenized assets by 2030, while Standard Chartered estimated that the total market size will grow to $30 Trillion by 2034. Latest Development: Brickken Partners With BNB Chain For RWA Tokenization Brickken, a leading RWA tokenization company, recently announced its collaboration with BNB Chain. This makes Brickken an official provider of RWA tokenization services within the BNB ecosystem. Brickken has  continued to record giant strides in the RWA space. In May, it was selected as one of the 11 participants of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ RWA Tokenization Cohort – out of 700 applicants . The partnership with BNB Chain, one of the leading blockchains, will allow it to leverage BNB’s while taking maximum advantage of its low transaction costs, high scalability and to provide secure, cost effective solutions to investors and businesses seeking to tokenize real world assets on the protocol's platform. Additionally, BNB Chain's vast DeFi ecosystem consisting of decentralised applications provides Brickken with market access thus increasing liquidity by opening up access to both retail and institutional investors. Following the announcement, Brickken was chosen by Hydrokken, a clean energy tokenization project, to tokenize its shares in natural hydrogen amplifying the potential of RWA tokenization in driving clean energy initiative. Conclusion: Real world asset(RWA) tokenization offers new ways to invest in real-world assets like real estate, commodities, and government bonds.

**NEW YORK, NY, October 30th, 2024/Chainwire/--**Morph, a global consumer layer for driving blockchain adoption, today announced its mainnet launch on Ethereum. The mainnet launch marks a significant milestone in building Morph’s consumer layer, serving as an expansion beyond a typical Layer 2. Morph’s consumer layer directly addresses the root causes of limited blockchain adoption, enabling ecosystem participants to exchange real assets and engage in transactions. Projects that are already building on Morph can now transition to the mainnet and continue developing their technology with this expanded scope, further driving growth of the consumer layer. Cecilia Hsueh, CEO and Co-Founder of Morph, commented on today’s news: “Morph’s launch on mainnet marks a significant step in our mission to bring blockchain to the masses. Currently, dApps are not designed for everyday users–we are working hard on changing this. This milestone propels our vision of a decentralized, scalable, and secure infrastructure, empowering developers and users alike with the tools they need to build and engage with the next generation of consumer-centric decentralized applications.” Morph’s consumer layer is a carefully crafted ecosystem of technologies, services, and features that combines optimistic and zero-knowledge rollups to strengthen both security and performance. To date, blockchain adoption has been slow due to regulatory, scalability, and performance issues. On the other hand, the newly-launched mainnet offers builders a blockchain experience that is scalable, secure, and user-friendly to the non-crypto native, enabling endless possibilities for consumer blockchain applications. Morph’s mainnet launch follows its previous Holesky Testnet that featured key upgrades including an EIP-4844 Optimistic zkVM integration to lower transaction costs and a revamped bridge mechanism to finalize withdrawals in a single transaction. Aiming to improve performance and infrastructure, the testnet saw over 6 million wallet addresses, 100 million transactions, more than 200 projects deployed, and 1 million plus members joining the community. “Our goal is to be the one-stop shop for all builders around the globe to come build on and be able to create success for the projects they’re working on,” said Azeem Khan, COO and Co-Founder of Morph. “While decentralization is important in technology, the inability of builders to navigate the resources needed to build, launch, and scale their companies is something we’re here to address. It’s time for there to be a chain by and for the builders. That is Morph.” As part of Morph’s vision to revolutionize the blockchain industry by transitioning from a tech-centric niche to a mainstream utility, Morph’s consumer layer approach differs from that of other blockchains which focus narrowly on technical aspects without achieving widespread adoption. To address these challenges, Morph provides builders with key resources, including funding, incubation, acceleration, and go-to-market strategies to keep consumers top of mind. Initiatives such as the recently announced Centralized Exchange Coalition, an initiative composed of top centralized exchanges, empower builders to bring their projects to market, attract users, and access essential funding. Through this comprehensive support system, Morph enables builders to succeed, driving the next wave of blockchain innovation. About Morph Morph is the global consumer layer, acting as the distribution hub for the resources builders need to launch and scale for the mass market. It leverages a hybrid solution of ZK and Optimistic roll-up technology and a decentralized sequencer to enable limitless possibilities within mainstream audiences, making it a user-friendly option for developers who require a chain to build these types of apps. Bitget, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, is an original investor in Morph that will continue to play a role amongst the other investors in shaping the Morph ecosystem.
