ZK Rollups prove the correctness of transactions without disclosing their content. Let's compare two rollup solutions by the key metrics.

FTX Sell Off Potential Victims #FTX liquidators are planning to sell its cryptocurrency reserves after receiving court approval, which is expected on Sep 13. The estimated worth of FTX's crypto holdings is nearly $3.4 billion, consisting of $SOL, $FTT, $BTC, $ETH, $APT, $DOGE, and others. Here are some projects that have received investments from Alameda Research and FTX Ventures and may be impacted by the potential sell-off.
