🚨Yet another Asia-based Centralized Cryptocurrency Exchange (CEX) hacked. Not a good look for the crypto market and the recent string of CEX hacks. Anticipating a thorough analysis of this one from blockchain cybersecurity and crypto transaction monitoring firms. 🪓Reports will quickly point responsibility for the exploit to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, but one can't help but wonder how many of these 'hacks' are linked to inside jobs 🤔 #noncustodialwallet #selfcustodywallet #decentralizedexchange #dex #defi #crybersecurity #cryptocurrency #crypto #fintech #transactionmonitoring #compliance #aml

Whitepaper Sunday 📚 No. 2 - Supra’s Blockchain Infrastructure Stack This paper presents an overview of Supra’s blockchain infrastructure technology. The authors connect Supra's multiple innovations, which were published over the years, into a resilient, extreme performance architecture that vertically integrates MultiVM smart contract support and native services: such as price feed oracles, on-chain randomness, cross-chain communications, and automation. They describe the end-to-end transaction flow of Supra’s blockchain and show how they mitigate censorship and Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attack vectors. They showcase Supra network’s capabilities in terms of its transaction throughput and commit latency through experimental studies. The Supra network provides a wide range of services and features on a shared security platform. These include capabilities such as the novel Distributed Oracle Agreement (DORA), Distributed Verifiable Random Functions (DVRF), a zero-block delay automation network, AppChain inspired Containers, MultiVM support, and optimized block execution via parallel transaction processing. Additionally, the bridge designs—HyperLoop and HyperNova—position Supra as the world’s first “IntraLayer” linking multiple chains to and from Supra through logic executed by Supra’s smart contract platform.

Me and Christopher Niall Rayner had a discussion about Switzerland’s new open-source law and it sure is complex. Switzerland's recent mandate that all government software must be open-source has sparked a lot of debate. On one hand, it promotes transparency and community collaboration, but on the other, it poses significant challenges, especially for smaller companies. Smaller companies pour blood, sweat, and tears into developing software that manages that no one else uses. However, under this new mandate, they will be required to open-source their solutions if they want to compete for government tenders. Me and Niall discussed some pros and cons of this. Pros: 1. Transparency: Open-source software allows for greater transparency, making it easier to identify and fix security vulnerabilities. 2. Collaboration: Encourages community contributions which can lead to faster innovation and improvements. 3. Cost Savings: Reduces costs for the government as companies avoid licensing fees and have more control over the software's development. Cons: 1. Exclusion of Innovative Solutions: Smaller companies might be excluded from tenders if they are unable or unwilling to open-source their proprietary solutions. 2. Security Risks: While transparency can lead to security improvements, it also means that vulnerabilities are exposed to potential malicious actors. 3. Financial Impact: Companies which rely on proprietary technology for their competitive edge, may suffer financially if forced to open-source their software. In practical terms, this policy means that innovative but proprietary solutions from smaller companies might not be considered in government projects. When selling these policies to the public, the focus is often on reducing the dominance of big tech. However, it can inadvertently stifle innovation from smaller players who can't afford to give away their trade secrets. While the move towards open-source in government software has its merits, it's essential to balance these benefits with the need to foster and protect innovation from smaller companies. Otherwise, we risk creating an environment where only the largest companies can thrive. What are your thoughts on this? How do you think smaller companies can navigate this new landscape? Will companies like Microsoft etc. get exceptions as they offer OS, Office? Read more: https://lnkd.in/dvxq3ukN #OpenSource #GovTech #Innovation #SmallBusinessChallenges

What's Happening with Liquidity in Non-EVM Networks? I checked DefiLama (https://lnkd.in/g666Uc89) to see how MODE is doing with liquidity, and decided to look into non-Ethereum networks as well. The results are quite interesting: 🔹 Solana - Leading by a huge margin with $4.7 billion. No surprise here. 🔹 TON - Second place with $770 million. Telegram's blockchain is steadily carving out its place in the market, reminiscent of Solana's vibes from the last bull cycle. 🔹 Aptos, Sui, Starknet, Near, Cardano - Combined TVL is around $1.7 billion, about a third of Solana's. Not surprising, as it’s hard to name a popular and in-demand app/service on these blockchains right now. Their ecosystems are pretty much dead. But here's where it gets interesting! 🔸 Hyperliquid - In fourth place with a respectable $650 million, right after the Bitcoin ecosystem. Let me give a quick recap. Initially, they launched as a futures DEX on Arbitrum with an active campaign farming points under the launch of their token, just like the big players. Over time, they decided to develop a full-fledged blockchain, not just a perpDEX. In my opinion, Hyperliquid is the most convenient and well-implemented futures DEX. And it's not just my opinion - after the first season of farming points ended, liquidity didn't leave the protocol as expected. Instead, people continued trading and using the exchange as intended, not just for farming. I've written several times here (https://lnkd.in/g8u2sPKz) and here (https://lnkd.in/gcPQG4DS) about their launch of the meme coin #PURR, which actively drops tokens launching on the exchange (similar to pump.fun). The token has already done about 2x, holding incredibly steady over the months, and just today hit a new ATH (https://lnkd.in/ge7ezP6A). Plus, holding it continues to bring airdrops - I've personally received about 30-40 different tokens in my wallet over 3 months. Considering the growth of PURR's price, it's quite a decent farming result. In summary, their second season of farming for a token drop has recently launched (the drop hasn't happened yet).

Our CEO, Shane Chiang, was recently featured in The Straits Times, where he highlighted the importance of structured cybersecurity frameworks and shared examples of common vulnerabilities organizations face. As quoted: "Another vendor, Momentum Z, takes firms calling on CISOaaS through a three-pronged assessment of employees’ cyber-security basics, company processes and policies, and cyber-security infrastructure such as firewall, antivirus, backup data use and end-point security. CEO Shane Chiang said he has had clients that have not changed passwords for six years, or who had been granting external vendors remote access to their network with no inkling. “Clients are often surprised to learn the vulnerabilities in their systems, which reinforces the importance of having a Ciso to bring structure and foresight into cyber security.” https://lnkd.in/gmh2G8Mr #cybersecurity Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) #cyberattack

Bitcoin miners talk a lot about their ability to turn machines off and back on in seconds. They talk about how that “flexibility” is good for grids. But where’s the data? Do miners actually turn off their machines? How often? And if they do shut down, what are the effects? Margot Paez and I collected detailed power usage data from 10 bitcoin miners in the US and Canada. We found they curtailed 5-31% of the time. We then used marginal emissions factors from Resurety and WattTime to calculate the emissions avoided relative to inflexible data centers like the ones streaming videos. We present our research in the broader context of data center growth and especially AI data centers. The title? We compare price-sensitive bitcoin miners to dung beetles, subsisting on waste energy. AI data centers? Swarming locusts, descending upon the fields and devouring everything in sight. This may change as AI computing evolves, but for the time being… dung beetles are nothing like locusts! Thanks to Bitcoin Policy Institute for supporting our research.
