FTX 2.0 coalition

The FTX 2.0 Coalition is a decentralized initiative uniting blockchain developers, regulatory advisors, auditors, and community advocates to design and deploy next-generation cryptocurrency exchange standards. Born from the lessons of the FTX collapse, the coalition prioritizes transparency, solvency verification, and user sovereignty—embedding real-time proof-of-reserves, on-chain fund segregation, and open-source custody protocols into its technical framework. It does not operate an exchange itself but functions as a standards body, certification authority, and open toolkit provider for compliant, resilient exchange infrastructure.

The coalition’s scope spans technical specification (e.g., MPC wallet integrations, zk-SNARK–enabled reserve attestations), governance frameworks (community-elected oversight councils), and interoperable compliance modules aligned with evolving global regulations—including MiCA, U.S. state trust charters, and FATF VASP guidelines. Its resources—including audit playbooks, smart contract templates, and third-party attestation APIs—are freely available to builders, regulators, and end users. Target audiences include licensed VASPs seeking credible compliance pathways, DeFi-native teams exploring hybrid custodial models, policymakers evaluating exchange risk frameworks, and retail investors demanding verifiable safety guarantees.

Beyond code and policy, the coalition fosters public accountability through quarterly “Transparency Summits,” live reserve verifications streamed on-chain, and a whistleblower-protected reporting layer. It deliberately avoids centralized control: all core specifications are governed via multi-stakeholder DAO voting, with voting power weighted across technical contributors, certified auditors, and verified end-user representatives. The ultimate mission is not to resurrect FTX—but to make its failure structurally impossible in any future system bearing the FTX 2.0 seal.
