Ethereum is going through an identity crisis. This is very visible at Devcon. The booths only hosted the big projects. There barely are any new dapps. And even the big projects are struggling for users. Meanwhile people are on their high horse looking down at memecoins. They.

Solidity's try/catch doesn't deliver on its promise. If the target is an address with no code (EOA), the execution reverts. Solidity's try/catch does not protect you from reverts but causes the revert itself.

As a crypto nerd, I often encounter the question: "What real problems does blockchain solve?" . The reality is that, thus far, blockchain is still very self-referential. The technology largely addresses issues it created for itself.

🚨 Rug pull / Scam alert 🚨. Don't trade $DZHV (0x3419875b4d3bca7f3fdda2db7a476a79fd31b4fe), don't ape in. A friend asked me what I thought about this token, and I had a look. I saw a good attempt at impersonating a genius coder with a rug pull mechanic and market manipulation.

Just witnessed the Multichain hack and it's clear that this is merely the starting point in a series of similar unfortunate events. We're dealing with a landscape where companies are utilizing libraries that apply techniques and technologies, the intricacies of which are beyond.
The lockup assets on the Multichain MPC address have been moved to an unknown address abnormally. The team is not sure what happened and is currently investigating. It is recommended that all users suspend the use of Multichain services and revoke all contract approvals.

This is the biggest upgrade for Smart Contract developers coming up this year. It's called Transient Storage (EIP-1153), and it's not obvious how it should be used and what it's good for. This is why I started researching it. 👇

I just saw this tweet from Solana where they say 400,000 tps. It's true that in order to have transactions "per second" you need to process them. The problem was the transactions were in the queue, not yet processed.
1/ Solana Mainnet Beta encountered a large increase in transaction load which peaked at 400,000 TPS. These transactions flooded the transaction processing queue, and lack of prioritization of network-critical messaging caused the network to start forking.

If you're in blockchain but don't know the complete history of Ethereum, you're missing out. 1/10 Ethereum Genesis 🌟 (2013-2015). In 2013, a young programmer Vitalik Buterin proposed Ethereum. By 2015, Ethereum went live, revolutionizing the concept of blockchain beyond just.

@pcaversaccio balance = msg.value + previous balance. Thus, `msg.value` can't be larger than `balance`. It can, at most, be equal. I like the `.transfer(balance + msg.value)`, enforcing the incorrect belief that msg.value is not included in `address(this).balance`.
