The core technical team responsible for the STFIL Protocol is being examined by Chinese police, with 2.5 million FIL recently moved to an undisclosed external address.

The STFIL Protocol ranks as the second-largest DeFi platform on a decentralized network designed for file sharing and storage solutions. Filecoin , STFIL Protocol The team behind the STFIL Protocol has confirmed that the Chinese police are looking into their core technical group.

Last week, the core technical members of the STFIL Protocol were detained. In the wake of their detention, 2.5 million FIL, worth about $22 million, was moved from the platform to an unknown address. There have also been unusual protocol upgrades recently, which seem to correlate with the fund transfers.

The STFIL Protocol Team made a statement on social media, indicating that they have sought legal representation to navigate the current issues and provide assistance to those who are detained.

Currently, the total value locked (TVL) within the STFIL Protocol stands at $39.5 million. Recent statistics from DeFi Llama indicate a notable drop of roughly 60% since the beginning of April.

The STFIL Protocol Acts as a Catalyst for Filecoin Storage Providers in the DeFi Landscape.

Designed around the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the STFIL Protocol is a community-driven liquidity solution that enables users to earn block rewards without needing to lock assets or manage any Storage Provider infrastructure. This approach allows anyone interested to participate as a Filecoin Storage Provider without the need for trust, while also sharing potential rewards.

The liquid pledge mechanism of the STFIL Protocol serves as a Filecoin liquidity pledge system aimed at improving service quality across the network. Users can deposit FIL tokens into the STFL smart contract and obtain stFIL tokens in return, enabling them to secure rewards from Filecoin Storage Providers. Additionally, Service Providers can use pledged nodes to maximize the liquidity of their FIL holdings while lending them to STFIL.

Recently, Filecoin has reported substantial growth in its DeFi ecosystem, both in terms of transaction volume and total value, driven by various key elements working together to promote wider network development. They highlighted their collaborations with the STFIL platform, GLIF, and SFT Protocol to advance Filecoin's on-chain capital markets, leading to the launch of new lending and staking initiatives like Web3mine in association with Filecoin and Repl.fi.

Amid all this, Chinese authorities have also turned a critical eye toward Filecoin. Last year, evidence from court proceedings revealed that a local court found Shenzhen Shikongyun Technology—the foremost company in China related to Filecoin—had generated over $83.3 million by involving users in coin mining activities on their platforms. accused Please take into consideration that the content shared on this platform is not meant to serve as and should not be perceived as legal, tax, investment, or financial advice in any form.
