Solana announces that they're releasing a smartphone next year.
Anonymous intends to hold Do Kwon responsible.
And Three Arrows Capital fails to pay their loans.
My name is Deezy.
This is your crypto nightly news wrap-up.
Let's get it!
Finally, Solana is launching a Web3-focused cellphone.
The foundation has partnered with a group of engineers to create a cellphone called Saga
designed to use crypto, Web3, NFTs.
In fact, the phone will include an app store focused on decentralized apps.
The phone is set to launch for a small number of countries in Q1 of 2023
and will be priced at $1,000.
On June 23 in New York City,
CEO of Solana, Yakovenko, publicly announced to the world that something big,
a crypto-focused cellphone.
This is the logical next step for Web3.
Or should I say the next chapter of the saga?
The Solana Saga, an Android device, comes equipped with SMS,
aka Solana Mobile Stack,
which is a software developer kit devs can use to build Web3 dApps
including a hardware-encoded Seed Vault for top notch security.
Just like how the iPhone has Apple Pay, the Saga will have Solana Pay.
This easy-to-use feature allows you to use QR codes or tap-to-pay features
for seamless transactions on your online store.
The Solana Foundation even started a $10 million grant program
to fund the future of mobile dApp development.
This innovation is something crypto needs to do to take the next step forward.
And it's a smart play for Android to catch up to Apple
because as Yakovenko puts it,
the existing gatekeeper model just doesn't work anymore.
In early 2023, you will be able to purchase a Solana Saga for $1,000.

Back to the news.
Greeting citizens of the world.
This is a message from Anonymous for Do Kwon.
The past several months have been bad for crypto and the economy as a whole.
We were likely going to experience some pain in the crypto industry
because of the macro environment regardless of what was happening internally.
We were also due for another bear market this year,
but the actions of Do Kwon,
the founder of the Terra LUNA ecosystem,
is single handedly responsible for scamming billions of dollars away from retail investors.
Shots fired!
Popular hacktivist group Anonymous released a video yesterday
that they are conducting a full investigation on Terra's founder Do Kwon for his alleged crimes.
This is basically the real world cyber equivalent of being investigated by Batman.
Although Do Kwon has denied all allegations of fraud and money laundering
while maintaining a decimal size level of plausible deniability,
members of his own team have brought to light an SEC investigation
that he was skimming $80 million a month from the Terra ecosystem.
In the video, Anonymous said that they're looking into his entire history
since he entered the crypto space,
and they stated,
"There is no doubt that there are many more crimes to be discovered in your trail of destruction."
Although Do Kwon and Terraform Labs are being investigated by several countries,
I have a feeling deep down that this is the investigation he should maybe fear most.
This group has no boundaries.
The cyber realm has no jurisdiction.
If there's more dirt on him,
they are the shovel that will find it.
They ended the video with this.
Do Kwon,
if you are listening,
sadly, there is nothing that can be done to reverse the damage that you have done.
At this point,
the only thing that we can do is hold you accountable
and make sure that you are brought to justice as soon as possible.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
Expect us.
Whoa!
Terrafying!
Let's hope for the sake of everyone Do Kwon wrong and for the stain he left on crypto's reputation
that Anonymous brings the justice that he deserves.
Now, Three Arrows Capital, one of the biggest crypto hedge funds in the world,
is up against the ropes and taking punches.
While trying to regroup with insolvency issues brought on by the LUNA crash and Bitcoin volatility,
they are now about to go down for the 10 count
since they have defaulted on a loan payment to Voyager.
Voyager, who loaned them over 15,000 Bitcoin and $350 million in USDC,
totaling around $670 million,
officially filed a notice of default to 3AC earlier this morning.
Luckily, Voyager has been able to run at full capacity and meet all of their customer withdrawal requests
since they received a $200 million bailout from the Mother Teresa of crypto,
Sam Bankman-Fried.
He really is the bank man.
Finbold has reported that Voyager has already used $75 million from their line of credit.
Stephen Ehrlich, CEO of Voyager, stated,
"We are working diligently and expeditiously to strengthen our balance sheet and pursuing options
so we can continue to meet customer liquidity demands."
Although Voyager had to lower their daily withdrawal limit from $25K to $10K,
they are still above water and actively consulting legal options
to get their money back from Three Arrows Capital.
It just goes to show that Do Kwon's irresponsibility started a domino effect
that brought many big players in the industry down to the canvas.
Let's just hope they get up before the referee counts to 10.
That's all I got.
Be blessed.
Deezy out.
