๐Ÿ“ฐBICO Weekly Degen Digest is reporting LIVE on a deranged week!

If you thought all those events with 3AC and Terra were crazy, this week just proved that the ceiling is still too high.

#Crypto assets are pushed even harder this week as the market continues its recovery.

$ETH continues to grow stronger. The merge drew in even closer with the Goreli testnet's success last Wednesday.
3/

@VitalikButerin indicated Sep. 15th ๐Ÿ‘€ as the expected merge date, when the terminal total difficulty hits 58750000000000000000000๐Ÿ‘‡

4/

ETH has gained an additional ~15% this week and teased a brief top over 2k on Aug. 13th.

On the other side of the land, the L2 narrative that was constantly outperforming the previous week fell slightly downstream.
5/

While it's soothing to see a relatively greener week, it is also important to note that, the market remains under fast rotation, where it's best to remain risk-averse.
6/

As for the news segment, all of the enthusiasm from the $ETH rally was eclipsed by the beginning of what would most likely go down in history as one of the most essential debates.
7/

#TornadoCash is a cryptocurrency mixing service that lets users make tx privately with the help of #zk-SNARK technology.

On August 13, the US Department of Treasury hit Tornado cash with sanctions.

What is their reasoning?
8/

Because Tornado Cash enables users to execute anonymous #Ethereum tx by removing the on-chain connection between the source and destination chains.

Acc. to the treasury, this could be a pretext for illegal but not immoral tx.

Also, let's just note that:๐Ÿ‘‡
9/

Privacy is a fundamental human right.

Code is free speech, and freedom of expression is also a fundamental right!
10/

Just in - It is being alleged that ETH devs who proposed an ETH PoW fork following the merge claim that they have disabled the difficulty bomb, which allows the base fee to be managed by miners and the community; adjust starting mining difficulty.

- Stablecoin de-pegs are back in the news:
MakerDAO's founder says that its "almost inevitable' that DAI will abandon its USD peg"๐Ÿ‘‡
12/

As of now, $USDC backs 50% of the total value locked in MakerDAO at $8.9B

While opinions about this event remain divided, concerns rise over several acute and multi-faceted risks associated with MakerDAO's collateralization by the USDC token๐Ÿ‘‡

13/

Hackers printed 1.2 billion $AUSD on the @AcalaNetwork through an exploit.

This vulnerability is indicated to be caused by a misconfiguration of iBTC/aUSD liquidity pool which caused a fault minting of aUSD tokens in large amounts.
14/

Following the hack, AUSD has depeged to $0.009527 at the time of writing this report.

Moving let's look at some good reads for our degens this week๐Ÿ‘‡

What is the most exciting thing about #Web3 to you?

Decentralization? Open access? Ownership?

For us, at @biconomy the most interesting lego of Web3 is --โœจ๐‚๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ-๐œ๐ก๐š๐ข๐ง ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐š๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒโœจ

Why does it excite us so?

A๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
2/

Composability accelerates digital innovation in Web3 much more rapidly than Web2 could ever achieve:

Unlike Web2, developers don't have to wait for a code to be unveiled after reaching maturity.
3/

Thanks to the smart contracts being composable, developers can build on top of apps (even nascent ones) because code is open and verifiable and trust is not required.

๐Ÿ‘‹Hello Biconauts,

This weekโ€™s glossary covers EIP-4337, a proposal meant to handle a top preoccupation of the #Ethereum community: ๐€๐œ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ ๐€๐›๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.

Weโ€™ll go over why the proposal was necessary and what solution it offers.๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
2/

First, a quick note: #accountabstraction allows a contract to become the top-level account that handles fees and starts the execution of the transaction.
3/

Ethereum developers have been preoccupied with account abstraction for a while.

The goal is to use #EVM code not just for implementing the logic of applications but also for the verification logic of individual wallets โ€“ nonces, signatures, etc.

Whatโ€™s a Relayer Network?

1/9

Make a guess... Who are the unsung heroes of #Web3?

Not your micro-cap gaming tokens or๐Ÿ’ฉcoins for sure.

We'd like to think that Relayer Networks are the invisible MVPs of Web3 ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

What are Relayer Networks exactly?

Let's dig in!

A ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ
2/9

A Relayer takes individual orders and organizes them into an order book.

It's similar to what exchange does.

Except, a Relayer is NOT an exchange.

A Relayer helps users create, sign, or find orders to fill without holding any tokens.

Yes๐Ÿ˜ฏ, just WOW.
3/9

2 key definitions๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

A 'Relayer Network' is a way to send meta-transactions to an EVM-compatible chain using a third party's infrastructure.

A 'Meta Transaction' has data created and signed off-chain by one person and executed by another person who pays the gas fees.

Cool new projects are integrating Gasless to onboard users.

So whatโ€™s the best way to leverage Gasless?

There are 3 ways to make your #dAppโ€™s contract meta-transaction compatible with #Gasless:

โœ… via Standard EIP 2771
โœ… via Custom Implementation
โœ… via smart Contract Wallet
/3

Choosing an approach depends on application drivers, including time optimization, smart contract compatibility, & dev resources:

โ˜‘๏ธChoose 1) EIP2771 approach if you are looking for:

- a standardized implementation
- the ability to register specific methods to make gasless

The ultimate goal for Web3 developers is mass adoption of blockchain technology.

As they say, the best process is no process.

We think Smart Contract Wallets will play a massive role in simplifying adoption.

Here's why SCWs matter๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

A ๐Ÿงต
2/

The two types of wallets we're familiar with:

๐Ÿ—‚ 'Hot' wallets โ€” Browser-based, like MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet Mobile App. Always connected to the web.

๐Ÿ—‚ 'Cold' wallets โ€” Connected only when in use, like Ledger and Trezor. These are less user-friendly.
3/

A 3rd option โ€” Smart Contract Wallets (SCWs)

These are Ethereum wallets managed by smart contracts instead of private keys.

Some of the advanced security benefits of SCWs?

โœ… Whitelisting
โœ… Multi-sig transactions
โœ… Daily transfer limits
โœ… Emergency account freezing
