Week 65 — Pike Hacks Highlight Audit Needs, Vitalik’s Security Tips, Starknet & Polygon Innovations, Solidity and Smart Contract Career Guide
GM! Buidlers
In this edition of Hashingbit, we explore key developments within the web3 ecosystem. Learn about Vitalik Buterin’s preference for multisig security, which he argues is simpler and more reliable than Shamir’s backup. We also cover Ethereum’s recent overtaking of Solana in DEX trading volume, signaling a significant shift in decentralized trading dynamics. Updates from Starknet, Solana, Polygon, Polkadot, and Eigen Layer are highlighted, focusing on their latest technological advancements and strategic expansions. This issue also addresses recent security incidents, including a $1.68M compromise at Pike Finance and a $181K exploit at Yield Protocol. Additionally, we recap the QuillAudits event in Dubai. Stay informed with Hashingbits, your comprehensive source for blockchain technology updates and security news.
