The National Basketball Association more commonly known as the (NBA) notified Brooklyn Netsâ player Spencer Dinwiddie that he cannot tokenize his $34 million dollar contract
The NBA pointed out that Dinwiddieâs initiative goes against the collective bargaining agreement in a statement sent to the outlet The statement reads: âAccording to recent reports, Spencer Dinwiddie intends to sell investors a âtokenized securityâ that will be backed by his player contract The described arrangement is prohibited by the CBA
, which provides that âno player shall assign or otherwise transfer to any third party his right to receive compensation from the team under his uniform player contractââ What will the reaction be from MrDinwiddle, and the other players in the league, and if they push back against this, what is the future of tokenizing contracts? Bitcoinâs (BTC) Lightning Network (LN) developer Rusty Russel has published the full disclosure of the networkâs vulnerability discovered this year, along with a potential solution Russel pointed out that the vulnerability appeared while opening funding channels The described process does not require that receivers check if a transaction is the one promised by the funder in terms of amounts and the actual scriptpubkey
âA lightning node accepting a channel must check that the funding transaction output does indeed open the channel proposed Otherwise an attacker can claim to open a channel but either not pay to the peer, or not pay the full amount Once that transaction reaches the minimum depth, it can spend funds from the channel The victim will only notice when it tries to close the channel and none of the commitment or mutual close transactions it has are validâ What is the future of the lightning network, and will Mr
Russelâs ideas be implemented?
