Watch the Smart Contract Research Forum (SCRF) community call from December 15, 2022. During this week's Smart Contract Research Forum community call, Lucas Nuzzi, Smart Contract Research contributor and head of R&D at Coin Metric, shared his recent data-driven research findings on the FTX/#Alameda failure, and answered attendee questions about what went wrong. Some important questions that were discussed included the following:


- Could analyzing on-chain transaction flow patterns reveal any warning signs that signaled liquidity problems at #FTX?

- What are the technological implications of #blockchain that made the fraud in this case detectable?

- What happens if someone receives a badge and doesn’t want to keep it in perpetuity?

- In the wake of the FTX collapse, what are some characteristics of #web3 applications that will be successful in the future?

- How can an incident like this be prevented from happening again?
