Fantom DeFi chain modules 10 November 2019Michael Chen
This document describes the modules that power DeFi Chain, a blockchain that aims to bring traditional finance onto the decentralized blockchain. It outlines modules for auctions, loans, collateralized tokens, escrow, token issuance, interest bearing tokens, non-fungible tokens, proof of existence records, automated swaps, and more. These modules allow uses like decentralized exchanges, lending pools, collateral-backed stablecoins, and staking rewards. The document proposes a non-inflationary stable staking system using collateral-backed stable debt tokens (CSDT) that pay rewards in stablecoins pegged to fiat value, avoiding issues with inflationary or unstable cryptocurrency-based rewards. Liquidity from collateral debt contracts
1) The document discusses decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and their potential application to the sharing economy through a platform called Wehome.
2) Wehome aims to apply blockchain and DAO principles to create a cooperative home sharing platform owned by guests and hosts rather than a centralized intermediary like Airbnb.
3) This could create a more fair sharing economy with 0% commissions, incentives for both guests and hosts, and governance powered by a blockchain-based token system.

A Lay of the Meta-land: A Systematic Approach to Dissect the MetaverseCatrinaWang4
What exactly comprises the Metaverse? How & where can VCs invest to accelerate the momentum without falling prey to FOMO?
Over the past month, I’ve decided to dig down the rabbit hole to conduct a holistic assessment of what the Metaverse actually entails - a lay of the Meta-land. Over 30+ interviews, 50+ hours of podcasts, and many-MANY secondary research articles, I finally dissected the umbrella term into 10 “investable” areas with a software focus. These investable areas are further segmented into three buckets: “Diamond”, “Goldmine,” and “Raw Gem,” then narrowed down to top areas as a basis for my follow-on investment thesis part II centered around Metaverse Interoperability (work in progress).
Happy reading, and feel free to hit me up with any feedback/comments or better yet, nerd-out sessions!
Global metaverse the digitization of everything尹思哲
This document discusses the potential for a metaverse, which is described as a virtual world where users can work, study, shop and interact in an immersive online environment. Some key points made:
- Over 40% of the world's population, particularly younger generations, are already ready for and supportive of a shift towards a metaverse.
- A metaverse could accelerate the digitization of everything, with physical objects having digital twins. This would streamline processes like asset transfers.
- Digital identities or "digital twins" will be important for representing users. Advancing technologies like artificial intelligence and augmented/virtual reality could further enhance the metaverse experience.
- The metaverse is still in early

Welups -The World First Identity Blockchain PlatformWel Ecosystem
Welups is a global NFT platform for asset verification and encryption operated by Blockchain Technology and Digital ID. Welups Blockchain provides instantaneous asset encryption and digital banking services for investors and traders to buy, sell and invest directly through a digital wallet. Welups inherits the strength of Ethereum and Tron to form a new platform that is easier to integrate with different applications.
APIs are crucial for connecting web3 applications to real-world data and services. By integrating APIs, smart contracts can power new applications in areas like finance, sports, banking, and more. However, blockchains cannot directly access web APIs due to the need for nodes to validate external data sources. Oracles provide a solution by connecting blockchains to existing web APIs in a secure and decentralized manner, bringing real-world functionality to smart contracts and expanding the potential of web3.
The document summarizes key metrics and events in decentralized finance (DeFi) during the second quarter of 2020. Three major events defined the quarter: 1) the amount of bitcoin tokenized on Ethereum surpassing that on the Lightning Network, 2) over $26 million stolen in three security incidents affecting Uniswap, Lendf.me, and Balancer, and 3) the release of the COMP token by Compound and the subsequent frenzy of "yield farming" that significantly increased the amount of value locked in DeFi protocols. Metrics such as the total value locked in Ethereum and the number of active users grew substantially at the end of the quarter due to yield farming incentives around the new COMP token.
Blockchain is a leading technology that has penetrated most of the industrial segment. We have seen its massive application across the different zones.
The document provides an interview summary with Marc Zeller of Aave, a decentralized money market protocol. Some key points:
- Zeller explains decentralized finance (DeFi) in layman's terms as decentralized savings accounts, where users can deposit assets to earn interest and borrowers access liquidity to trade or invest.
- Recent achievements for Aave include growing the protocol total value locked from $0 to $186 million in 6 months and expanding flash loans to allow borrowing without collateral for single transactions.
- Upcoming developments include credit delegation, allowing users to delegate unused borrowing capacity to earn interest on supplied assets plus a spread.
- For mass adoption, Zeller believes transaction costs need to come down
Ernst & Young : Intellectual property in a digital worldforumdavignon
This document discusses intellectual property laws and enforcement challenges in the digital world. Key points:
1. Existing international treaties like the Berne Convention and TRIPS have established a global framework for IP protection, but enforcement remains a challenge due to the complexity of digital distribution.
2. Piracy threatens over a million jobs in the creative industries and reduces revenues that fund new content. However, some consumers justify piracy due to issues like pricing, timing of releases or limited access to legal options.
3. While laws exist, collaboration is needed across the digital value chain to truly address IP challenges. Agreements like ACTA aim to improve enforcement, but many countries like China are not signatories. Overall, effective

Cryptocurrency And NSE Stock Market: A Comparative Data AnalysisIRJET Journal
This document analyzes and compares data from the top 25 cryptocurrencies and stocks traded on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India. It plots graphs of factors like volatility, market capitalization, and prices over different time ranges for cryptocurrencies and NSE stocks. The goals are to help investors understand the behavior of these investment options, determine which are trending or declining, and decide where to invest. The document finds that cryptocurrency markets experience more volatility and fluctuations than stock markets, but also have potential for higher returns. However, cryptocurrencies lack intrinsic value and regulation. The analysis aims to provide Indian investors insights into both markets to help them make informed investment decisions.

Cryptocurrency_ A New Investment OpportunityQutomatic
Cryptocurrency_ A New Investment Opportunity.
The invention of Bitcoin1
by Satoshi
Nakamoto (Nakamoto [2008])
in 2008 spurred the creation
of many new cryptocurrencies
known as altcoins. These altcoins use similar
cryptographhy technology but employ different algorithmic designs. Many of these
altcoins were invented for different purposes
or to address the pain points of the Bitcoin
network, such as the high usage of energy
caused by its proof of work (PoW) consensus
algorithm or the supply limit of 21 million
coins, among others.
Investing in Cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is back in the headlines after a three-year respite. It’s discussed on CNBC
daily, and political figures, financial gurus and regulatory officials are repeatedly
asked for their opinion. At this point, much attention has been focused on what
Bitcoin is and how it works, but that in some ways, is the easy part. Assuming the
underlying blockchain technology works, is Bitcoin or any other of the
cryptocurrencies something investors should consider for their portfolios? That’s
the more difficult question.
As of 2022 there are more than twelve thousand different crypto tokens with as many as one thousand more being added each month. There are stablecoins and cryptocurrencies that facilitate non-fungible tokens, decentralized finance, and the metaverse. An investor can be excused for being confused. Perhaps a new crypto classification system dreamt up by Goldman Sachs will alleviate a bit of the confusion.

Bitcoin a Financial valuation frameworkBRIAN LEEMOON
This document provides a framework for valuing Bitcoin as a financial asset. It identifies Bitcoin's industry characteristics, classifies it as an alternative investment, and examines potential valuation methods. The framework analyzes factors like the Bitcoin ecosystem, legal landscape, environmental impact and risks. Implications are that governments may need to regulate cryptocurrencies as they grow, and Bitcoin's future potential may be limited to a store of value, while blockchain technology has broader applications. The framework aims to help researchers evaluate Bitcoin's current value and understand differing views of it as a bubble or investment.
Blockchain winter is upon us.... The valuation of the digital assets is down from $600B to nearly $100B. But do the prices of the digital assets truly reflect the reality of development, the success/failure of blockchain use cases, and the general adoption? If so, what caused the decline? Who is poised to survive and thrive in 2019?
Ray Valdes (CTO @ ConsenSys) & Kate Mitselmakher (CEO & Founder @ Bloccelerate VC) covered the data points explaining what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen in the blockchain universe.
The document analyzes opportunities for Visa Inc. to evolve in the cryptocurrency space. It finds that the global cryptocurrency market is expected to grow significantly through 2028, reaching over $2 trillion. Many companies are looking to expand consumer crypto choices and make transactions more seamless. The document recommends Visa focus on four areas: 1) facilitating cross-border payments using digital currencies, 2) making crypto transactions as fast and easy as fiat currency, 3) focusing on stablecoins which are more acceptable than other cryptos, and 4) raising awareness of crypto through education programs tailored to different audiences.
JP Morgan Crypto Report - Feb 3, 2022 "The Maltese Falcon"Mike Dudas
Venture capital investment in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies has increased dramatically in recent years, rivaling investment in other innovation sectors. However, the author is more interested in the long-term returns on this capital rather than just the mobilization of funds. Adoption of cryptocurrencies is rising across different investor types and regions globally, though institutional ownership remains relatively low. The author examines bitcoin and its potential as a store of value but finds that its volatility does not currently support the store of value thesis, as it often rises when equity market volatility increases as well.
The financial applications of Blockchain technology range from cryptocurrencies and ICOs to payment systems and financial instruments. We can see ICOs becoming the new IPOs for businesses and startups. Blockchain enables the businesses to lower costs by simplifying the processes highlighted in this research.

This document discusses cryptoasset investments and strategies for institutional investors. It begins by reviewing developments in the crypto industry in 2018, including large price swings and increased funding and infrastructure projects. It then outlines three broad categories of cryptoasset investments: mainstream cryptoassets, pre- and post-token distribution, and equity investing. Various fund strategies like public index, public active, and private approaches are also discussed. The document recommends that institutional investors begin exploring crypto with small allocations of less than 1% of their portfolio due to the high risks involved and need for diversification.
This document discusses Japan's experience with crypto currencies. It notes that while crypto exchanges are allowed to operate by registering in Japan, cryptos are not considered legal tender. Practical use of cryptos is currently limited. The document outlines factors that give traditional currencies credibility like stable value and being backed by an issuer, which most cryptos currently lack. It summarizes events in the crypto market in 2017 like the boom in initial coin offerings and price fluctuations. Risks associated with cryptos like security issues and lack of regulation are also discussed. The document provides an overview of Japan's regulatory framework for crypto exchanges and considers technological challenges with blockchain.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
