🎉 LOC Token Now Available for Trading on Uniswap! We are happy to announce that LOC is now listed on Uniswap and can be traded against all other assets with ease! This step will make it possible for the general crypto audience to buy and sell LOC without having to register on an exchange or giving up the custody of their funds. The results of the poll that we launched a few days ago show clearly that the community prefers a LOC/USDT based liquidity pool. A majority of 82% voted in favor of USDT to be the counter asset, which was of course followed during the pool deployment phase. As a result of the Uniswap launch and the pre-existing liquidity pool on the Hydra DEX, LOC now has two centers of liquidity. They are interconnected with each other via the Hydra cross-chain bridge. Note: We are aware that the info shown for LOC on Uniswap is outdated. We are on it 👌

🎉 LockTrip Reports a Record $532,000 in Bookings for Q2 2023! In the second quarter of 2023, a total of 3,538 room-nights were booked through the LockTrip.com marketplace.

At the same time, a record 20,000 LOC were burnt and permanently removed from circulation!

🫵 You decide! Which liquidity pool would you like to see on Uniswap? 🔹 USDT: - Stable liquidity debth - Lower volatility 🔹 ETH: - Liquidity debth dependent on ETH performance - Higher volatility (upside if ETH rises, downside if ETH falls) Note: Regardless of what the pool is based on, you will always be able to trade LOC against all assets that are available on Uniswap!

Dear Community, After 5 years of close cooperation, we are sad to inform you that Kucoin decided to delist LOC from their exchange. In this announcement we are sharing an in-debth analysis on the following topics: - Why LOC got delisted - The efforts of the team to prevent the delisting - Why there is a sudden spike in projects getting delisted from Kucoin (team's interpretation) - How we expect the delisting to impact the LockTrip project - What strategy we will follow in the near term and what immediate steps will be taken We strongly recommend to read through the article, as is includes important clarifications and perspectives.

🎉 LOC Swaps Enabled on the Hydra Cross-Chain Bridge! We are happy to announce that the Ethereum → Hydra swapping gateway for LOC tokens was successfully upgraded. Swaps are now supported via the official Hydra/Ethereum cross-chain bridge. This means that you can swap your tokens any time you want, with near instant processing — in a fully automated manner. 🔍 Since the new system allows for swaps in both directions, it appears to be a good time to capture the latest state of the one-directional swapping activity: Looking at the past months, new swaps have been very sparodic, averaging roughly one wallet per month. Amid the stalled activity, more than 1.4 million LOC still remain unswapped at the time of writing. We don’t know whether they are forgotten, lost or just remain passive temporarily — perhaps waiting to be re-activated sometime in the future. More information below:

Dear Members, on 5th June 2022, an attack carried against one of Locktrip's customer support personnel managed to gain access to low level data of some of our customers. The event involved a leak of access to a third party service provider where low level booking information was present. This is the type of information which is generally handled in context of support operations. This is just to inform you that: - No passwords or credentials have leaked - No credit cards were compromised. They are protected by top grade PCI-compliant security - No compromise in our servers ever took place, the attack was through access credentials to third party service providers that are necessary for support operations - The incident happened completely outside of the marketplace environment on a third-party server/service In fact, when investigating the event logs, we could not find signs of direct data exports. However, we want to be extra careful and want to notify our community about the possibility that some limited data may have been accessed via other means (without leaving traces). Again, we have no evidence that data was leaked. But there is a possibility for it, where approximately up to roughly 1% of registered accounts. What may have been gained access to is: - name - address - email - only the last 4 digits of the credit card (The four digits can't be used for anything on their own. The main credit card details are stored behind top grade PCI-compliant security) This is the first such incident that we've experienced, and we treat it with highest priority and have already implemented drastic measures to make sure our organization security is with highest possible standards, not only on infrastructure level, but also on human level as well. Regardless of this and despite our best efforts, in our field of work, incidents are possible. We want to apologize for any inconvenience caused and hope this does not hurt your trust in our organization. We decided that it is our duty to inform our community of this incident regardless of its classification. For context, such type of incidents are generally classified as low risk and legally, organizations are not mandated to inform the entire user base (most don't and such incidents remain in the background). We decided to do so anyway, as we view transparency as a critical component to this project. Those who put their trust in us either as a marketplace user or as an investor deserve to be informed about both the good and bad things in our growth journey. Can the attacker do any harm? As stated above, the marketplace itself was never breached and all operations including bookings and making payments are safe as ever (yesterday's issues with front-end are completely irrelevant of this event). There is possibility however for the attacker to try target an affected member and send out phishing emails, acting as if he was the official LockTrip support or someone else. In 90% of the cases those emails will not land in your mailbox, because they are easy to spot as being spoofed by modern email clients. Nevertheless, If you receive a suspicious email, please make sure to forward it to our team so we could try track the attackers (team@locktrip.com).
