Celsius was once one of the biggest lenders, controlling over $20B. However, in July 2021, it froze user accounts citing 'extreme market conditions.' As it turned out, the embattled crypto lender made money by investing in high-risk assets to generate high returns. When Bitcoin (BTC) halved in value and altcoins took a major hit, Celsius's unsustainable business model and risky practices brought it into today's bankruptcy court.
Celsius recently filed documents with the court amounting to 14,000 pages, including usernames and transaction data. The user information totaling over 18GB could lead to high net-worth users being doxxed unwillingly. According to security and privacy experts, the data does not point to a user directly, but it could be used to maliciously 'doxx' (reveal the identity of someone) using the transaction details.
Some users call it the most egregious privacy violation in crypto history that could risk lives, especially those residing in less developed countries.
To participate in the Uniglo.io presale, users are not required to provide personal identifiers, and all information will be deleted after the launch on the 19th of November. Furthermore, the DAO surrounding the GLO token is truly decentralized, with holders forming the sole authority to decide the protocol's future.
As the protocol is approaching the end of its presale, the team went ahead to curate the first assets that would back the GLO token. The 'GLO Vault' now includes assets such as Paxos Gold (PAXG), The Sandbox (SAND), or Tether (USDT). Once launched, these decisions would be made by the community, with an on-chain governance vote.
In addition, the smart contracts of Uniglo.io successfully passed an audit by Paladin Blockchain Security, a top-tier blockchain auditor. With that safety insurance, GLO holders can see their investment appreciating with peace of mind.
Understandably, the bankruptcy case of Celsius needs to be worked on with complete transparency and diligence. However, it is incredibly upsetting that users' financial information is being made so carelessly public. There is no doubt that this will spark a wave of new privacy-related measures within the DeFi community, with projects such as Uniglo.io needing to ensure its investors that the team does not ask for nor save any personal information.
