How Effective Is GPT For Auditing Smart Contracts?
Despite the current limitations of GPT’s analysis and mining capabilities for contract vulnerabilities, its ability to analyze and generate reports on simple code blocks for common vulnerabilities still sparks excitement among users. With continued training and development of GPT and other AI models, we firmly believe that assisted auditing of large and complex contracts will achieve faster, more intelligent, and more comprehensive outcomes in the foreseeable future. As technological development exponentially improves human efficiency, a transformative shift is imminent. We eagerly anticipate the benefits of AI in enhancing blockchain security and remain vigilant in monitoring the impact of emerging AI products on this vital field. In the visible future, we will inevitably integrate with AI to some extent. May AI and blockchain be with you.
An Introduction To Liquid Staking
Staking has become a crucial component of the digital asset industry, offering users the opportunity to earn a native yield by helping secure PoS blockchains without assuming credit risk. A plethora of new solutions, infrastructure upgrades, and exciting primitives have emerged to meet the demand for staking. To name a few entrants, Frax Finance is a platform that enables higher yields on staked ETH through a two-token model. Liquid Collective, on the other hand, is an enterprise-grade liquid staking solution backed by a diverse group of operators, catered towards institutional stakers. Meanwhile, incumbents like Lido are introducing core infrastructure upgrades such as Lido V2, which will allow the onboarding of distinct validator sets via a modular architecture. Emerging technologies in the form of distributed validator technology (DVT) and Eigenlayer’s re-staking also bring improvements in validator performance and the ability to extend Ethereum’s security beyond the network itself. With the Shanghai hard fork on the horizon, there is no shortage of exciting developments to keep us on our toes.
