Decentralized protocols face decision-making challenges during attacks.
2/ Trade-offs exist between fast response and decentralization.
Protocols are in the early stages and users should be aware of risks.
3/ Educating Users On Security Risks
Users often learn the most from negative experiences.
To prevent this, the community and ecosystem must invest in user education.
Developers should:
-understand their stack
-monitor dependencies
-have a plan
-offer bug bounties
4/ Risk Management In DeFi
#DeFi is not immune to existing financial system risks.
Risk management can be complex, with third-party firms potentially helping average users.
Advanced traders should be aware of risks and not be misled.
5/ Understanding #L2 and #ZKSync discrepancies is crucial for security research.
6/ ZkSync Audits And Developments
OpenZeppelin has conducted several audits for Matter Labs and zkSync.
zkSync is in a limited release, with more accessibility in the future.
Users should start slowly and grow in confidence with the protocol.
7/ Audit reports for @zksync are available in their documentation.
8/ Q&A
Q: What is your opinion on security tools like Manticore and Slither?
A: These open-source tools are useful for detecting common bugs, but they might not catch all complex issues. Understanding their purpose and limitations is essential.
9/ Q: What are your thoughts on ZK circuit auditing?
A: ZK circuit auditing requires more domain knowledge and research. Developing expertise over time will help tackle complex audits in this emerging field.
10/ Q: Can ZK roll-ups like zkSync enable private transactions and composability between roll-ups?
A: Currently, zkSync doesn’t support private transactions, but it might in the future.
11/ Composability between roll-ups is being explored by protocols like Hop Protocol, and building roll-ups on top of others could add privacy or additional features.
An Eth researcher and digital asset portfolio manager walked into a podcast. Epic conversation ensued.
In @vaneck_us recent space,
Pranav Kanade - @pkan90 is joined by
Justin Drake - @drakefjustin to discuss $BTC, recent events, @ethereum Foundation, Shanghai upgrade & more.
1/ Ordinals And Bitcoin
There’s no $BTC bridge from the Bitcoin main chain to the roll-ups.
$BTC isn’t as extendable and usable as a data availability layer compared to @ethereum
When converting $BTC to fiat, you still need to use a CEX.
2/ $BTC’s issuance will eventually go to zero and the blockchain will have to be secured through transaction fees.
If there are no interesting things going on in $BTC, there will be no incentives for miners to be validators.
1/ The discussion centered around the recent SEC decision to enforce rules that don't exist, and their continuous lack of cooperation with @coinbase legal efforts.
2/ Coinbase And The SEC
@coinbase received a Wells notice from regulators, a notice that usually precedes an enforcement action.
Coinbase has proactively engaged with regulators and acquired licenses globally, including a CFTC license and a BitLicense in the US.
In this episode, Jay of @scrt_foundation is joined by Leon of @playBushi to discuss their platform, NFT collection, activities, accessibility and more.
•It is a 3rd person shooter game launching on a platform called Onenet which their team is also building.
•@launchonenet is a desktop application platform that people can essentially manage all their games and they offer infrastructure for game developers to start building their video games.
•Onenet is very close to launching a game come the 31st of this month.
•A roll-up only considers the validity of a bridge contract to a settlement layer and the problem is that this is not the same thing as a light client.
•When running a light client for a roll-up, if the roll-up doesn’t have a Merkle tree of transactions, you can’t actually prove to the light client that your transaction is always included in the block.
