Key Points:
  • Yao Qian’s corruption exposed; Yao received 2000 ETH in 2018.
  • Blockchain traced ETH flows, highlighting anti-corruption measures.
  • China emphasizes technology in combating hidden corruption.

Today, a documentary aired revealing Yao Qian’s corruption, involving 2000 ETH in 2018, using blockchain technology to trace funds in China.

The use of blockchain illustrates its crucial role in exposing corruption, highlighting cryptocurrency’s potential for transparency in financial transactions.

Blockchain Tracing Exposes Yao Qian’s 2,000 ETH Bribe

A documentary highlighted Yao Qian’s corruption, focusing on the receipt of 2,000 ETH from businessman Zhang in 2018. Zhang had utilized blockchain mechanisms to transfer the cryptocurrency. The task force used innovative blockchain tools to trace these transactions to Qian’s Ethereum wallet.

By 2021, Qian transferred 370 ETH, worth approximately RMB 10 million, creating a comprehensive record of illegal transfers. This showcases blockchain’s potential in fighting secretive corruption attempts and illicit fund concealment, providing an innovative anti-corruption weapon.

Cai Kunting, anti-corruption official, stressed the importance of recovering hardware wallets and mnemonic words during investigations. “During a search, two items are crucial to seize. The first is whether there is a hardware wallet; the second is whether there are some pieces of paper with irregular mnemonic words written on them, which are vital during the search.”

Ethereum Price Soars Amidst Growing Anti-Corruption Use Cases

Did you know? Tracing cryptocurrency transfers today leverages blockchain technology for transparency. The Yao Qian case demonstrates its effectiveness in providing comprehensive transaction records, acting as a powerful tool in contemporary anti-corruption efforts.

According to CoinMarketCap, Ethereum’s recent price was $3,362.14, with a market cap of $405.79 billion. ETH has seen a 4.80% increase in the last 24 hours and a 14.13% jump over the past 30 days. The 24-hour trading volume hit $39.96 billion.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
