The background of the screenshot is very similar to the homepage of the Tianqiongshuzang APP. The final announcement. It is a pity that I ran away due to improper management. All leeks, please do your own thing. Thank you for your hard work for a month. We have freedom of wealth, and you will see a beautiful country in the future - Tianqiong management team announcement. "
This announcement of calling users "leeks" and bluntly "running" is so straightforward and arrogant that it is surprising.
At 4:21 p.m. on June 6, the Tianqiong Shuzang APP issued an announcement saying, "Recently, there have been PS pictures of malicious rumor-making platforms running away on the Internet, and the platform is operating normally; the functions and optimization of the new version are currently being tested. The originator, the platform is tracing the source."
The official Weibo account of Tianqiongshuzang replied to reporters that the platform is investigating the origin of malicious rumors and the originator of PS, and reserves the right to resort to legal means.
At 17:13 p.m. on June 6, the official Weibo account of Sky Vault released a slightly more detailed announcement, saying, "The platform is operating well, and the new version of features and optimizations are currently being tested. legal protection.”
According to Tianyancha, the operating entity of Tianqiong Shuzang is Duoxing (Hainan) Art Trading Co., Ltd., which was established on January 17, 2022, with Han Youbing as its legal representative and a registered capital of 10 million yuan. The main members of the company are 3 people.
According to the official website of Tianqiongshuzang, the company is a domestic leading digitalzang platform launched by Duoxing (Hainan) Artwork Trading Co., Ltd., which will be officially launched in April 2022.Tianqiong is one of the few digital art collection platforms in China that has the qualifications for art auctions, and it is also a digital art collection platform with complete domestic operation qualifications, providing supporting services such as the issuance and sale of digital art collections.In the sky, you can browse various digital art collections, use blockchain technology to uniquely turn them into digital assets, and support online interactive transactions.
Although it has only been established for a few months, the Tianqiong Shuzang APP shows that the number of contract addresses has reached 1.555 million.Recently, a WeChat official account used "three-digit big hair" as a gimmick to promote Tianqiongshuzang, saying that "you can directly get three-digit numbers", but the reporter found that the QR code in the poster displayed was jumping to download the Tianqiongshuzang APP The website was warned by WeChat, "The webpage contains pornographic content and has been complained by many people. In order to maintain a green online environment, access has been stopped."
The reporter noticed that a number of users claiming to be Tianqiongshuzang on Weibo reported that they had refused to deliver goods or refunds before, and there were similar complaints from users on the Black Cat Complaint Platform.In addition, there is also a complaint against Duoxing (Hainan) Artwork Trading Co., Ltd., claiming that it took more than 300 yuan to participate in the Tianqiongshu Zangpu new activity through the single-order platform, and invited new people to collect fragments and synthesize the prizes, but it invited 200 people. People still can't collect all the pieces to receive the prize.
Tianyancha information shows that Duoxing (Hainan) Art Trading Co., Ltd. was listed as abnormal operation by the Jiyang Branch of Sanya Market Supervision and Administration Bureau on May 9, 2022 because the registered domicile or business place could not be contacted.
In mid-May, the price of the collections in Tianqiongshuzang was as high as nearly 10 million yuan. Subsequently, Tianqiongshuzang claimed to have been attacked by hackers, and the platform data suffered a large number of malicious attacks. Hackers used false balances to purchase and steal users' collections, resulting in abnormal data. , the alarm has been processed.
In response to the above-mentioned hacking incident of Tianqiong Digital Collection, a blockchain security company Chengdu Lian'an suggested in its official account: 1. In the process of design, implementation and deployment of domestic digital collection platforms, they should pay attention to communication and network security , host security, database security, mobile security and other traditional security fields, and do a good job in security protection; 2. In the process of operation and maintenance of domestic digital collection platforms, the design and implementation of financial risk control should be done well to avoid large-scale capital changes. 3. When consumers of digital collections choose a trading platform, they need to pay attention to platform compliance risks and ensure their own property safety; 4. Consumers of digital collections should be alert to the risks of speculation and market bubbles, so as to avoid bubble bursts. property loss.
At present, questions such as whether the pricing of digital collections are fair, the technical security of the operating platform, and the standardized operation and management are still blank. If the platform “runs away”, it is also unknown how the rights and interests of investors will be maintained.Tianqiongshuzang caused a great uproar by the "P-picture" this time. It may also be that it is poking at the hidden worries of investors, whether the flow of funds from users to the platform can truly support the artist's creation, or flow into the back of the platform. The private pockets of some actual controller?And do these "investors" enter the market with the mentality of "willing to gamble and lose", or with a fluke mentality of not being the last person in the game of drumming and passing flowers?
"Hype" is a problem associated with digital collections since they landed in China. After the industry has gradually attracted more users, there is no shortage of hot money hyping "blind boxes" and "sneakers" to prevent malicious speculation and guide the industry to protect The shift in the focus of intellectual property rights and the creation of high-quality digital cultural and creative industries has become the common voice of the industry.
In October 2021, the first self-discipline pact for the NFT industry was launched. The National Copyright Exchange Center Alliance, China Academy of Art, Hangzhou Internet Notary Office, Zhejiang Province, and Ant Group jointly issued the "Digital Cultural and Creative Industry Self-discipline Pact", resolutely. Resist the malicious hype of digital cultural and creative products.
On April 13, 2022, China Internet Finance Association, China Banking Association, and China Securities Association issued an initiative on preventing NFT-related financial risks.
This initiative points out that in recent years, my country's NFT (Non-Fungible Token, non-fungible token) market has continued to heat up.As an innovative application of blockchain technology, NFT has shown certain potential value in enriching the digital economy model and promoting the development of the cultural and creative industry, but at the same time, there are hidden risks such as speculation, money laundering, and illegal financial activities.
To this end, the proposal proposes to resolutely curb the tendency of NFT financialization and securitization, strictly prevent the risks of illegal financial activities, and consciously abide by the following code of conduct: do not include securities, insurance, credit, precious metals and other financial assets in the underlying commodities of NFT, and issue trading financial assets in disguise Products; do not weaken the non-homogeneous characteristics of NFTs by dividing ownership or batch creation, and carry out token issuance financing (ICO) in disguise; do not provide centralized transactions for NFT transactions (centralized bidding, electronic matching, anonymous transactions, market makers, etc. ), continuous listing transactions, standardized contract transactions and other services, and illegally set up trading venues in disguise; do not use virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and other virtual currencies as the pricing and settlement tools for NFT issuance transactions; real-name issuance, sales, and purchase entities Authentication, properly keep customer identity information and issuance transaction records, and actively cooperate with anti-money laundering work; do not invest in NFT directly or indirectly, and do not provide financing support for investing in NFT.
The three associations call on consumers to establish correct consumption concepts, enhance self-protection awareness, consciously resist NFT speculation and speculation, and be vigilant and stay away from NFT-related illegal financial activities.
“It should be noted that the prices of some digital collections are currently inflated, and there are also many problems in the technology and management of the digital collection platform itself, including the extremely volatile prices and liquidity of its assets based on blockchain technology, and the possibility that the platform may pass the collection through the collection. Resale involves out-of-scope business such as secondary market transactions, and the boundary between the digital collection market and the cryptocurrency market may not be clear (the latter has obvious legal and regulatory pressure in China), etc.” Research on Digital Economy, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law Jin Tian, a senior researcher at the academy, believes that the technical threshold for digital collections is not very high, but with the characteristics of uniqueness and non-tampering, its commercialization ability is strong.
Jin Tian said that since the second half of 2021, the scale of the digital collection market has ushered in explosive growth. Generally speaking, it has become mature internationally, but the domestic market is still in its early stage. Except for a few Internet companies that have launched trading platforms, most other platforms Still focusing on vertical markets.It is also for this reason that the corresponding market supervision is more lagging behind, and the self-adjustment and optimization of the rules of the trading platform is still the main focus when encountering many new problems.Only by introducing more detailed and operable industry standards and management requirements for the growing digital collection market (currently more are self-discipline requirements with low level and lack of coercive force), can the collection review, transaction, data protection and other In the security field, the responsibilities of all parties are clarified to ensure the security of users' network virtual property.
At present, many countries and regions are stepping up the supervision of NFT and digital collection investment.In April, the Korean financial authorities announced that the Financial Services Commission of Korea would soon announce the "Policies Related to New Securities Businesses such as Fractional Investments", and advised other institutional investors to study the nature of securities and take necessary measures according to the guidelines.NFTs have the potential to be identified as securities.
