In response to Damus CEO, William Casarin's claim of being unable to transfer tokens due to alleged blacklisting by Nostr Assets, the company launched an investigation and issued a statement on December 28. The news, which was first reported by BlockBeats, detailed Nostr Assets' attempt at transparency by showcasing transfer records from Will's @jb55 account, each confirmed with a nostr signature.
Expressing a commitment to transparency, Nostr Assets offered to release complete nostr event information and conversation records between both parties. Nostr Assets outlined its original goal of assisting Damus and expressed disappointment at being blocked by William Casarin before a thorough understanding or request for help could be obtained.
While differences in vision between the two parties exist, Nostr Assets affirmed its good intentions and willingness to provide guidance on settling any matters. Furthermore, Nostr Assets verified the transfer of 50,000 NOSTR tokens (approx. $200,000) to William Casarin's address, underscoring the sincerity of its donation and maintaining its collaborative spirit.
Previously, Damus CEO, William Casarin, in a conversation with netizens, mentioned that he was unable to transfer the NOSTR tokens he received after issuing a statement rejecting the donation from Nostr Assets, leading him to believe his keys were blacklisted by Nostr Assets.
