ANNOUNCEMENTS & PARTNERSHIPS

FLITS Hosted Service: Official SINOVATE Statement

It recently came to light that the mobile node hosting provider Flits did not comply with guidelines provided by the SINOVATE team, resulting in the incorrect implementation of the coin burning procedure. This caused a total of 172 infinity nodes to be created erroneously, meaning impacted nodes were unable to migrate to the recently launched Deterministic Infinity Nodes 1.0 (DIN) platform and have been lost forever.

As a direct consequence of Flits choosing their own method to make nodes, irreversible issues were created that are impossible to resolve, which was not due to a bug in SINOVATE’s code.

SINOVATE has taken action and presented its own solutions, in order to aid the recovery of lost funds the best we can. These include a 30% lost rewards reimbursement plan, a community crowdfunding round, and 12-month free hosting to all infinity node owners using the Flits application. For all the facts as and when they happened, click here. While this situation was unfortunately out of our own hands, we will endeavor to ensure that similar issues never materialize. The SINOVATE team is infinitely sorry for end-users using Flits to make their nodes.
