Update: The Finblox team told Cointelegraph that, at the moment, the firm has lifted the withdrawal limits and resumed its normal operations.

Finblox, a crypto-staking platform backed by Three Arrows Capital (3AC) has paused reward distributions and tightened its withdrawal limits. Following this, community members expressed concerns over their assets, with some calling for transparency and bringing up decentralization.

In a tweet, Finblox announced that the firm is assessing the effects of 3AC’s situation on its liquidity. While the firm does this, it highlighted, Finblox has paused its reward distribution for all of its users and lowered its monthly withdrawal limit to $1,500.

Many of the platform’s users were disappointed with the news, sharing their frustrations about not being able to withdraw their funds. On the other hand, community members started calling out Finblox’s 90% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) offer on staking Axie Infinity Shards

According to Finblox user Terence Lee, he has withdrawn his assets from Finblox during the Terra (LUNA) — which has since been renamed (LUNC) collapse. He noted that it's becoming more clear that lenders who offer large returns were "taking too much risk."

In response to the current situation, Twitter user Gofortim2 called out to lending platforms to be more transparent. They tweeted:
