The sale, which began September 2020, ended Monday over concerns of the stability of the DAI stablecoin.

A person familiar with the process said Uniswap would probably appear on Base in a couple of months.

London, United Kingdom, 14th March, 2023, ChainwirePlay-to-earn favorite Metacade continues to draw investor attention after raising more than $10m, as it now enters the penultimate stage of the presale. With confirmed listings on Bitmart and Uniswap due after the presale ends on the 30th of March, there are only 16 days left before the token goes public. MCADE is available to buy on the official Metacade website.

The confidence that our supporters have put in us is something that will drive the team forward as we enter our final stage.” The accelerated interest in the project has undoubtedly been helped by the recent announcement that the project has hired Principal Product Designer, Tyler Lange. Russell further elaborated by saying, “We’re delighted to have Tyler on board. This puts us ahead of schedule in terms of the front-end development of our end product. We’re now in a position to start developing the initial app concepts, which I’ll be showcasing in an upcoming AMA.” With the presale amount raised now passing the $10 million mark, the team has high hopes for the price of MCADE as it launches on exchanges throughout April 2023, following hot on the trail of this year’s GameFi trend that captures international audiences made up of both investors and gaming enthusiasts.

The trading freeze follows an analysis from DeFi's risk manager firm Gauntlet Network considering different scenarios for the USD Coin price.

The price of GHST was supported by that of DAI stablecoin for over two years.

The plan intends to allow developers to recover tokens from certain AAVE contracts and send them to owners who transferred them by mistake.

If passed, roughly $33 million DAI will be allocated to support the development of the Aavegotchi ecosystem.

Crypto borrowing and lending platform Aave is moving closer to offboarding Binance's troubled stablecoin BUSD.

San Francisco, California, 8th March, 2023, ChainwireUnstoppable Women of Web3 Leads Initiative to Provide Web3 and Metaverse Education for 6 Million African Women The initiative will consist of free digital identities, educational streams, online courses, in-person networking, and more to bring more women in Africa into Web3 and the metaverse Metaverse — 8 March 2023 — To celebrate International Women's Day, Unstoppable Women of Web3 (Unstoppable WoW3), a diversity and education group on a mission to equalize the playing field in Web3, today announced a commitment to providing Web3 and metaverse education for six million women in Africa over the next five years. The initiative is launching in partnership with 19+ companies including the African Leadership Group, Africa Women CEOs Network, Chipper Cash, NFT Domains, Polygon Labs, Sankore 2.0, Unstoppable Domains, Uoma Beauty, and the Virtual Brand Group, along with 17 other companies. As a first step towards their goal of onboarding six million women in Africa to Web3 and the metaverse, Unstoppable Women of Web3 and Unstoppable Domains will expand access to user-owned digital identity through free Unstoppable domains, which people can claim for the next 30 days. Web3 domains, like dranino.nft, give people ownership of their identity data – allowing them to create a portable, user-owned reputation across Web3 and the metaverse. “Africa has one of the most rapidly growing Web3 sectors today, but it’s not exempt from the gender equality issues we see across the globe, and we need to make sure everyone has a seat at the table,” said Sandy Carter, Founder of Unstoppable Women of Web3 and COO and Head of Business Development at Unstoppable Domains. “Empowerment starts with education, which is why we’re thrilled to lead this initiative to educate six million more African women on the metaverse and Web3.” In order to meet this commitment, the partner organizations will offer Web3 and metaverse education via a wide assortment of educational streams, programs, learning materials, in-person events, and online courses: The African Leadership Group will offer master classes and content on Web3 and the metaverse to their ongoing training and lifelong learning programs across Africa. Africa Women CEOs Network will present a CEO Education in Masterclass Program designed specifically for women in Africa. Educational programs will be available online on the Unstoppable Women of Web3 official website, and will be translated into Portuguese, French, and Arabic. Chipper Cash will surface Unstoppable Women of Web’s Web3 and metaverse education within its app. Sankore 2.0, an Africa-focused blockchain community builder, will develop and organize online and physical courses on metaverse knowledge and blockchain code development to empower African women in Web3 technology. Unstoppable Women of Web3 and Unstoppable Domains will provide free Web3 domain addresses to expand access to user-owned digital identity. They’ll also launch a set of blogs on digital identity on the Unstoppable Women of Web3 website, available in French and English, and issue special NFT-based Education Badges for women who complete the education programs. Unstoppable Domains and Unstoppable Women of Web3 will launch a blockchain education stream in partnership with Alchemy. Today, Africa is one of the fastest-growing adopters of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and Web3 technology globally. The continent already features the world’s second-largest Bitcoin market and a government-backed central bank digital currency. Africa also witnessed a 1,200% increase in crypto payments from 2020 to 2021, showing a massive and rapidly growing demand for the nascent technology. “Having started my entrepreneurial career in Nigeria at 17, I know the power and opportunity of Africa. I see technology and innovation as the way to unlock this next generation of women,” said Sharon Chuter, CEO & Founder of Uoma Beauty. However, like many male-dominated tech and engineering sectors, Web3 suffers from uneven representation. In 2021, for example, out of the 121 leading crypto companies, it was discovered that less than 5% were founded by women, and women only represent 10% of partners at crypto funds. Fred Swaniker, founder and CEO of African Leadership Group, said: “By 2035, Africa will have the largest and youngest workforce in the world and will be the primary driver of the 4th industrial revolution. Considering the burgeoning nature of the Web3 industry and the fact that women currently make up 50% of the African continent, it is incredibly important to educate and empower our women with the tools they need to succeed in this field. This partnership will champion not only diversity in Web3 but also enable Africa to continue establishing itself as a global Web3 hub.” Jennifer Kattula, SVP of Marketing at Polygon Labs said: “We believe in diversity and its impact on the web3 industry. We support women on this International Women’s Day and 365 days of the year. We are proud to support Unstoppable Women of Web3 and the Metaverse as they expand into Africa and beyond.” Dr. Anino Emuwa, Managing Director of Avandis Consulting and Founder of Africa Women CEOs Network, said: “This initiative will give women in Africa a chance to participate in one of the fastest growing industries in the modern world. The tech and Web3 industries have historically faced issues with diversity and a lack of representation, but with this new initiative, women in Africa can learn about a burgeoning industry and be part of building its future.” Justin W. Hochberg, CEO and Co-Founder of the Virtual Brand Group, said: “If you can defy gravity in the metaverse, why can’t we defy convention as to who has a voice and the technical skills? This is a once in a generation opportunity to empower diverse talent which will benefit everyone as we collectively build this brave new interconnected world from games to fashion, loyalty to art, sports, music, entertainment and beyond. I challenge everyone to be the change you wish to see in the metaverse and web3 starting here and now with the women of Africa where humankind originated and which over the next decades will be a leading global technology hub.” Laura Kennedy, VP of Corporate Development at Chipper Cash, said: “We are delighted to pledge our support to the Unstoppable Women of Web3 initiative. Chipper Cash is a company deeply committed to unlocking global opportunities to connect and uplift Africa. When Chipper launched a crypto product more than two years ago, it was in response to a need expressed by our customers. With this initiative, Chipper and Unstoppable Women share a vision that inclusive access and education are critical to building an equitable online ecosystem where everyone can thrive.” Other partners supporting this initiative are: African Women in Fintech & Payments (AWFP), Afrilabs, Bookings Africa, Ejara, Eloy Awards Foundation, Emerging Africa Group, Futuresoft, Google Cloud, Kenya Blockchain Ladies DAO, Mission Impact Academy, Miss O Cool Girls, NairaEx, SpaceYaTech, The Product House, Thousand Faces NFT, UTU, Women in Management Africa (WIMA), and Women in Tech. This is not the first time Unstoppable Women of Web3 has launched an educational initiative to onboard women from underrepresented communities to Web3. Last October, the organization also announced its mission to educate and onboard over five million Latinas into Web3 by 2030. About Unstoppable Women of Web3 Launched in 2022, Unstoppable Women of Web3 is a diversity and education group focusing on training the next generation of talent, with a mission to equalize the playing field early in the Web3 era. All 206 collaborators have pledged to feature work created by historically marginalized groups in at least half of all materials used for Web3 education.

Indian cryptocurrency exchange Bitbns has finally admitted that it was hacked in February 2022, which led to $7.5 million worth of funds being compromised. The confession comes only hours after crypto sleuth ZachXBT called out the exchange, tweeting that it was covering up the hack under the guise of system maintenance. Funds Were Compromised: Bitbns Founder Gaurav Dahake, the founder of the Indian crypto exchange Bitbns, admitted on 1st March 2023 that the exchange was hacked in February 2022. Speaking at an AMA session, Dahake stated that the funds were indeed compromised but stated that it was not an abnormal situation. He noted that the exchange was taken offline so that the team could analyze the anomalies on the platform. The admission came after crypto researcher ZachXBT called out the exchange, stating that it was covering up the February 2022 hack under the guise of system maintenance. ZachXBT shared screenshots of Bitbns tweets from February 2022 and tweeted, “Let’s call out the crypto exchange BitBNS for hiding a $7.5 million hack from their users on 1st February 2022 and then proceeding to tell them it was “system maintenance.” Dahake Doubles Down However, Dahake, despite admitting to the hack, stated that the Bitbns team took down the exchange only after noticing an abnormally high throughput on their servers. According to Dahake, the team discovered that the prices of Polygon (MATIC), BNB (BNB), and Aave (AAVE) needed to be corrected, identifying a considerable difference between the buying and selling prices of the tokens. The team was also able to discover anomalies related to withdrawals. During the course of the investigation, Dahake stated that the team discovered that specific addresses had received different tokens from the platform. These tokens were converted to Ethereum and then sent to different addresses. Dahake did not confirm the amount of funds that were compromised. However, ZachXBT put this figure at $7.5 million. Nothing Abnormal About It Interestingly, Dahake stated that this could not be considered abnormal activity, adding that the same had occurred at multiple other exchanges such as Binance, KuKoin, and others. He stated, “Most big exchanges saw such incidents. Binance had funds compromised. BitBNS, too saw a small incident. Right before that incident, we had experienced irregular activities on the platform, and that’s when we decided to take the exchange offline for a few minutes to analyze the issue.” Elaborating on the anomalies discovered during the investigation, Dahake stated, “We found issues with specifically a few token prices; there was a difference in buying and selling prices. At that point in time, some users were trying to withdraw funds. We wanted to analyze the funds and found on one particular address, a certain amount of funds went from different tokens, and those got converted into Ethereum and went to different addresses.” Dahake also added that Bitbns is currently the only exchange in India that is allowing users to withdraw their crypto. The exchange has seen a high volume of withdrawals since February 2022. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

The Benefits Of Account Abstraction And Smart Contract Wallets Account Abstraction has become a heightened topic of discussion in the Ethereum community in recent months. Account Abstraction is the missing key to driving mass adoption and making interactions with the blockchain easier. What Exactly Is Account Abstraction? To fully understand Account Abstraction, it is essential to understand how accounts function on Ethereum. There are two primary types of accounts on Ethereum, externally owned accounts (EOAs) and contract accounts. Most personal wallets use externally owned accounts that are secured by complex, often difficult-to-guess numbers called a “private key.” The second type of accounts, contract accounts, are controlled by computer code deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. This is why it is capable of implementing any type of logic. Externally owned accounts are typically controlled by a key pair consisting of a public and private key. These help to initiate various actions with the account and establish ownership. On the other hand, in most cases, smart contract accounts cannot initiate actions on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This is where Account Abstraction comes into the picture. Account Abstraction looks to decouple accounts that are within the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with key pairs that are outside the EVM. This removes the requirement for a seed phrase, converting them into smart contracts. Self-Custody Is More Than Just Key Pairs Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and others in the Ethereum community realized that private keys are not the answer when it comes to self-custody. This is because a seed phrase can easily be misplaced. Instead, they believed that personal wallets could fulfill the role of contract accounts, thus enabling them to be secured by any custom logic, allowing new onboarding methods such as simply creating an account with an email or password, and enabling seamless account recovery. Why Is Account Abstraction Important? Account Abstraction is considered essential for a variety of reasons. It is cited as the missing link to enable mass adoption, making interactions with the blockchain easier, paving the way for increased security and self-custody, and reducing the risks arising from a lost seed phrase or hack. Decreasing such risks is critical for users and also improves the image and usability of the crypto and DeFi ecosystems as a whole. It also better facilitates onboarding by enabling account creation through social logins, thus improving the experience for less experienced users. Account Abstraction also enables better flexibility, making smart contracts more compatible with other protocols and decentralized applications. Benefits Of Smart Contract Accounts Smart contract accounts offer users a host of benefits. Users can simply create an account without requiring a seed phrase. They can also recover accounts by simply using their email address. Let’s look at an example using the Ambire wallet. Users can sign up for the Ambire wallet using their email address and password. Alternatively, users can also use other Web3 or hardware wallets. They can also pay transaction fees using ERC-20 tokens, meaning users would no longer require ETH, or any chain’s native token for that matter, for any action they need to perform. This is particularly important when it comes to driving the adoption of crypto. Suppose you hold a particular asset like USDC and wish to deposit it on Aave; you can pay the required transaction fee in USDC without swapping it for or acquiring ETH. The Ambire wallet makes it possible for users to choose which currency they wish to use to pay the transaction fees. Users can also save on the fees involved by paying in $WALLET tokens or using Ambire’s Gas Tank feature. Users can also batch transactions, allowing them to perform multiple transactions simultaneously and save gas fees. The Ambire wallet allows you to transfer funds to a new account or wallet, approve, and then complete the swap simultaneously. This means users pay the gas fee only once instead of thrice. Furthermore, they also enable session keys, meaning users no longer need to sign in multiple times. Smart contract wallets also would allow users to add or remove signers, giving them far more control over a wallet’s security than an EOA wallet. For example, Ambire wallet users can create an account using their username and password and also add a hardware wallet as a signer to confirm transactions, increasing the overall security of the account. Other benefits include allowing users to time delay their transactions and create custom rules. What Lies Ahead? While promising, smart contract accounts still require some improvements. Currently, they require an additional relayer service. However, the implementation of EIP-4337 eliminates the need for such a service, making smart contract account transactions native to the blockchain. EIP-4337 is critical because it is the first Account Abstraction proposal that does not require core protocol changes. Instead, it takes the transaction validation out of the protocol and moves it to the smart contract level. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Aave may distance itself from BUSD before redemptions for the token possibly shut down next year.

Called the Forge, the upgrade focuses on wearables, one of three attributes that determine the value and rarity of Aavegotchi NFTs.

Members of the Aave community are examining whether to freeze BUSD on the platform and the stablecoin's issuer, Paxos, was sued by the SEC today.

Aave’s GHO is set to join a fierce competition as rival DeFi protocols also issue or are moving to release their own protocol-native stablecoins.

MakerDAO, the DeFi organization that facilitates the generation of the DAI stablecoin, is releasing Spark Protocol – a lending platform that will rival Aave.

The proposed Spark Protocol will leverage Maker’s DAI stablecoin and its crypto assets for liquidity, and would be based on the Aave v3 smart contract system.
