Augmented reality might turn out to be one of the big winners of the coronavirus crisis: People need more fun in their lives, and brands need new ways to attract customers. And since most AR experiences require only a smartphone, they are cheaper and more accessible than VR. From animated tattoos to interactive models of office spaces, here are 10 innovative studios bringing AR into our everyday lives. 1) Aircards Aircards creates fun and engaging marketing merchandise – in particular, business cards, as the name suggests. When you scan the QR code on a business card, it comes alive. For instance, you might see the card's owner talking to you, suggesting that you follow him or her on social media. The company also makes AR marketing fliers, banners, billboards, and packaging. 2) ARzilla ARzilla keeps finding new ways for customers to interact with products, especially through WebAR and social AR. When clients explore AR experiences integrated into a brand's website, they start to associate the feeling of excitement and fun with the brand. All of ARzilla's experiences are web-based: You can access them from any smartphone without downloading an app. ARzilla also designs viral filters and masks that boost brand awareness, flyers, banners, packaging, etc. The team works with various platforms (Zappar, 8th Wall, Spark AR), as well as creates custom-coded experiences. 3) Arfected Arfected creates shareable content that increases brand awareness and engagement. In addition to web-based experiences and apps, it works on AR content for social media with playtimes of over one minute. Among the agency's most popular products is the Snapchat Lens “A bedroom in Arles,” which allows you to “enter” Van Gogh's famous painting. Another one was a campaign for Singha Beer aimed at Chelsea soccer fans, where users were asked to cheer while the AR Facebook filter painted their faces white and blue – the Chelsea colors. 4) Areyes Studio Areyes creates innovative and trendy Instagram filters, many of which imitate real-world textures. Some look like latex skin, glass, chainmail, and more. One of the studio's hits is Ultra Shine, a filter that creates a mask of shiny gemstones around your face: Areyes also designs filters to promote specific events and brands, such as the Brave! Factory electronic music festival and Don't Take Fake, a festival of urban subculture. 5) FlyAR FlyAR is based in Finland, and many of its AR projects have to do with manufacturing and engineering. For example, it created an augmented model of an office space and superimposed information about the engineering infrastructure over it. For another client, FlyAR designed a marketing flyer with an interactive 3D model of the company office. One of its biggest projects was an AR experience explaining how cardboard packaging for liquids is made: 6) Foundry Six This mixed-reality studio is known for its AR filters for Snapchat and Instagram. You can give yourself yellow hair, make flowers grow out of your head, and even paint your face green: Apart from filters, Foundry Six also makes AR and VR games and apps. For example, it has a card game where you can see little soldiers appear on your cards and fight each other. In another game, called Rider, you can watch a tiny snowboarder ride up and down any surface in your home. The company even designed a fitness app for AR glasses. 7) Avatar Digital Unlike many other AR agencies, which specialize in games and filters, Avatar designs AR and VR experiences for construction, education, real estate, fashion, and other industries. For example, its Live Educare app uses AR 3D models and audio to help children understand the human body and other classroom subjects. Its Life Auto app allows potential car buyers to explore the interior of a car and even book a test drive from right within the app. 8) FairWorlds FairWorlds positions itself as an immersive agency, creating complex AR and VR experiences for brands like Amazon and Dell, as well as for universities and NGOs. For Dell, FairWorlds created a virtual tour of the company's gigantic modular data centers, which can't be shown live to potential customers due to their size and location. Another project, this time for the Environmental Defence Fund, features a cute robot that leads viewers with AR glasses on a quest to find and fix methane leaks: 9) Triangle Factory This Belgium-based agency approaches AR from various angles – both in games and entertainment and in “serious” applications for brands, health care, and engineering. For example, Triangle Factory built an AR basketball game where you can shoot hoops anywhere on the street or even on your own office desk: On the “serious” side, its app Jori allows customers to not only see how new furniture will look in their room but also customize the product: choose the color, cover material, and more. 10) ScullyLabs ScullyLabs designs AR content for different platforms: HoloLens, Android, iOS, and ARKit. Its clients include Macy's Pandora and Nickelodeon. For Nickelodeon, the agency designed special AR tattoos – stickers that kids could put on themselves. When scanned, the tattoos triggered cartoon videos, puzzles, and fun games. Another interesting project was the AR catalog for Bed, Bath & Beyond, where readers could scan over 900 AR anchors in the text to watch videos and unlock promos. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the AR market was forecasted to grow at an amazing rate of 46% every year until 2024. The “new normal” of the virus will create additional openings for AR, with people looking for a way to interact with products from the safety of their home. In a couple of years, AR might become a natural part of our life – just like YouTube or Instagram. The 10 startups we've looked at are definitely helping us move in that direction.

Honeypot Finance, the creator of the first community-led Proof of Liquidity (PoL) Accelerator on Berachain, continues on its quest to become the leading protocol on bArtio testnet through its Fair Token Offering (FTO) launch model. Attracting more and more users through its anti-rug pull liquidity sourcing mechanism, the Honeypot Finance testnet has facilitated over 3000 launches, attracting 800k+ users to hold tHPOT. More than 1 million swaps have been performed on the testnet so far, offering a major boost to on-chain activity on the Berachain testnet. Coupled with the phenomenal growth on the Berachain testnet, Honeypot has strengthened its position and bolstered its activity even further with several exciting updates recently: Integrating DEX and Reward Vaults With PoL Continuing its efforts as a PoL accelerator, Honeypot Finance has integrated its DEX and rewards vault on bArtio with PoL, allowing users to delegate and validators to emit $BGT. With initial validator emissions coming in from Ghost and DOUBLETOP, Honeypot Finance is primed to showcase everything that Berachain's innovative architecture is capable of. Key Industry Partnerships To Fuel Increased Awareness Following its recent surge in on-chain activity on Berachain's testnet, Honeypot Finance has formed partnerships with key players in the DeFi space, including Fjord Foundry, InterPoL, Infrared Finance, and YeetBonds, further reflecting its growing success and influence. Fjord Foundry will combine Honeypot's upcoming Fair Token Offering (FTO) model with their Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools and Fixed Price Sales, unlocking a comprehensive suite of launch mechanisms tailored to the needs of different projects. The partnership unlocks seamless participation in Berachain launches through both Honeypot and Fjord Foundry's platforms. Further, Honeypot and Fjord Foundry have joined hands to identify & support top-tier projects, amplifying the impact of new launches on Berachain through sustained community interaction. On the other hand, Honeypot Finance has integrated with The Honey Jar’s InterPoL to provide enhanced protection for Beras through Bullish Rugproofing. This means whenever a project is launched on Honeypot Finance, its liquidity can be automatically locked into InterPoL, safeguarding the LP against downside risks. Through YeetBonds, Honeypot Finance has eliminated the need to swap tokens via the liquidity pool for big holders. This enables them to sell and buy tokens without swapping, thereby avoiding slippage and price impact. Collaboration with Infrared Finance further enhances Honeypot's offerings with features like boosted yields, liquidity vaults, and a comprehensive suite of launch mechanisms for token launches, driving sustained activity and community engagement on Berachain. The integration involves adding Honeypot Finance tokens to Infrared Finance vaults on bArtio. This allows users to deposit WBERA-tHPOT and unlock $iBGT rewards. Community-Centric Approach Honeypot Finance has successfully completed the Request for Broposal (RFB). The platform has decided to allocate 100% of $BERA allocation as a reward for their loyalty and support of the program thus far. The initial allocations will be split among a massive 20,000 active users, with rewards for NFT holders, early private tastenetoors, public testnet participants, PoL supporters with tHPOT staking, Dreampad launches & Henlo DEX traders. This serves as an additional factor triggering increased platform interaction within the Berachain ecosystem. Mainnet Out Soon As the hype around the Honeypot Finance testnet gains momentum, boosting on-chain activity on top of Berachain, the platform is primed for the mainnet launch, but with user security in focus. All of their smart contracts with all FTO models including custom hooks and integration with Henlo DEX are under audit by Hashlock. Once the mainnet is out, it would be interesting to see how the testnet success translates. The Road Ahead While there has been sustained hype around the launch of the Berachain testnet, Honeypot Finance, through its lucrative Dreampad, has contributed significantly to sustained activity. The key partnerships with Fjord Foundry, InterPoL, and YeetBonds have ensured a win-win environment for all the stakeholders - retail users, liquidity providers, and projects. At a time when rug pulls and fragmented liquidity engulf DeFi, Honeypot Finance continues to deliver what it promised through its revolutionary FTO. With sustained user activity and a growing list of partnerships, Honeypot Finance is positioned to remain a key player on Berachain over the long term.

Foundry is a smart contract development toolchain for Ethereum written in rust. Foundry simplifies the development and deployment of smart contracts. It streamlines the process by managing dependencies, running tests, and facilitating deployment. In this article, we will explore the following: What is Foundry, and why should you use it? Different tools provided by Foundry for smart contract development How to get started with Foundry: create, deploy and test smart contracts in Solidity Let's dive right in! About Foundry Foundry is a smart contract development toolchain for Ethereum written in rust. Foundry manages your dependencies, compiles your project, runs tests, deploys, and lets you interact with the chain from the command-line and via Solidity scripts. Foundry is created by an investment firm focused on crypto. Paradigm, Why use Foundry? You can write tests for your smart contract in Solidity (when using other smart contract development frameworks like Hardhat or Truffle, you would test Solidity using JavaScript or TypeScript). You can read why you should be writing tests in Solidity here. Foundry has a powerful built-in fuzzing capability. Fuzzing, in essence, is a technique used to find vulnerabilities or bugs in software by providing random, unexpected inputs to the program. Fuzzing lets the Solidity test runner choose the arguments for you randomly, by simply giving arguments to your Solidity test function. Foundry also provides you with different tools for smart contract development: tests, builds, and deploys your smart contracts. Forge: Foundry's CLI tool for performing Ethereum RPC calls. You can make smart contract calls, send transactions, or retrieve any type of chain data. Cast: : local testnet node shipped with Foundry. You can use it for testing your contracts from frontends or for interacting over RPC. Anvil an advanced Solidity REPL shipped with Foundry. It can be used to quickly test the behaviour of Solidity snippets on a local or forked network. Chisel: You can explore more about Foundry toolkit from the and the . Foundry Book GitHub repo Also, a list of Foundry resources including tools, tutorials, libraries & projects using Foundry. here's You can read more about the comparison between the Foundry and Hardhat smart contract development toolkit . here Building, testing and Deploying Smart contracts with Foundry Installation On Linux and macOS: Open your terminal and run the following command: curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash This will install Foundryup, then simply follow the instructions on-screen, which will make the command available in your CLI. foundryup Now run the command in the terminal to install Foundry toolchain: foundryup foundryup On Windows: If you're on Windows, you will need to install and use or , as your terminal, since Foundryup currently does not support Powershell or Cmd. Git BASH WSL Initialize the project To start a new project with Foundry, use : forge init forge init foundry_project This will generate a new project folder called . The folder will contain the following: foundry_project default directory for your smart contracts src: default directory for tests tests: foundry project configuration file foundry.toml: contains the dependencies lib: solidity scripting files script: Inside the folder, you'll find an included sample smart contract named . src Counter.sol // SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.13;

contract Counter {
    uint256 public number;

    function setNumber(uint256 newNumber) public {
        number = newNumber;
    }

    function increment() public {
        number++;
    }
} To compile the smart contract use : forge build forge build If your contract compiles successfully, you will see the following output in your terminal: This will compile the smart contracts in the folder and also create a new folder named which will contain the bytecode of the compiled contract. src out Testing the contract Foundry generates a directory named , which is the default folder for storing all the tests for smart contracts. The name of the test files has an extension of tests .t.sol If you navigate into the test folder, you'll come across a specifically named test file called . Counter.t.sol // SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.13;

contract CounterTest is Test {
    Counter public counter;

    function setUp() public {
        counter = new Counter();
        counter.setNumber(0);
    }

    function testIncrement() public {
        counter.increment();
        assertEq(counter.number(), 1);
    }

    function testSetNumber(uint256 x) public {
        counter.setNumber(x);
        assertEq(counter.number(), x);
    }
} To run this file to test the smart contract use : Couter.sol forge test forge test If all the test passes then you will see the following output in your terminal: You can also see the gas cost being printed for the functions in the test contract. On the other hand if some tests fail, this will be the output. You can replicate this by make some changes in the smart contract(I've changed the function so that it increments the number by 2 instead of 1). Counter.sol increment function increment() public {
    number += 2;
} Deploying the smart contract To deploy the smart contract tot a network use command: forge create forge create --rpc-url <your_rpc_endpoint> --private-key <wallet_private_key> src/Counter.sol:Counter You can get the RPC for the network from Alchemy by following this guide . If the smart contract is deployed successfully you will see the following output in your terminal: Writing tests for smart contract Now let's add some of our own functions and tests to the existing smart contract. Counter.sol // SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.13;

contract Counter {
    uint256 public number;
    uint256 public myNumber = 42;

    function setNumber(uint256 newNumber) public {
        number = newNumber;
    }

    function increment() public {
        number++;
    }

    function decrement() public {
        myNumber--;
    }
} In the above smart contract we have added variable which has a value of 42 and the function which decrements the value of by 1. myNumber decrement() myNumber To test these functions we need to add some functions in the test file. Counter.t.sol // SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED

    }

    function testDecrement() public {
        counter.decrement();

    }
} In the above test file we have added test functions and . The function checks the assigned value of and function checks the working of the decrement function. Both of these functions use to equate the value assigned to . testMyNumber() testDecrement() testMyNumber() myNumber testDecrement() assertEq myNumber Now let's run these new tests with the command: forge test forge test If all the test passes you will get the following output in your terminal: As you can see all the test passed, and we also got the amount of gas used to run each test function. Using libraries The libraries that you install will go in the folder , of your project by default, is installed, this one allows you to run tests, create asserts or logs. If you want to install other libraries(e.g. openzeppelin) you can run: lib ds-test forge install openzeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts This will add the openzeppelin repository in your project under the folder. Now you can import and use the openzeppelin smart contracts in your project. lib/openzeppelin-contracts Next Steps With this we have learned the most basic applications of the foundry toolkit. Further we will learn how to develop, test and deploy more complex contracts like ERC20, ERC721 tokens, DEXs and many more using foundry. Hope you enjoyed the article!

Introduction to Smart Contract Development Using Foundry

GitHub Repo:- https://github.com/PradhumnaPancholi/Figbot Hey everyone! A little while ago, I was learning as it has fantastic tools for developing and auditing smart contracts. And although I loved the experience, I soon learned that it is in the clandestine development stage. This means that casual/individual users can not depend on maintainers for support and updates. Dapp Tools Then I stumbled upon . It has everything that Dapp Tools offers apart from built-in symbolic execution (which is not a problem for me as I use e by Trail of Bits ). And this is auditing related hence not a hindrance in smart contract development by any stretch of the imagination. Foundry Manticor After working with Foundry for a bit, I enjoyed the experience and wanted to share that with others. Hence, this article. This article will go through the benefits of Foundry, the installation process,  developing an NFT (because everyone is interested in that), testing the contract, and deploying it with . Figment Datahub Foundry is a blazing fast, portable and modular toolkit for Ethereum application development written in Rust. Foundry is made up of three components: Ethereum testing framework (like Truffle, Hardhat, and Dapptools). Forge: Swiss army knife for interacting with EVM smart contracts, sending transactions, and getting chain data. Cast: local Ethereum node, akin to Ganache, Hardhat Network Anvil: Today’s focus is going to be on But I will be posting in-depth articles on Caste and Anvil in the upcoming weeks. Forge. Why Foundry: There are many smart contract development tools like Truffle, Hardhat, and Brownie. But one of my primary reasons for looking into Dapp Tools in  the first place was native Solidity tests. Writing smart contracts is not hard when switching between frameworks like Hardhat and Brownie. And they are incredible tools with plugins, but one needs to be well versed in JavaScript/TypeScript and Python to perform testing. Foundry allows us to write our tests natively in Solidity. This saves a lot of time onboarding new developers and makes the process smoother. In my experience of helping people navigate their way into smart contracts development, I have learned that the best and most efficient way for junior developers to engage with DAO/community-maintained projects is by writing tests and learning about the code-base itself. I remember once mentioned that they used the same approach while developing Alchemix Finance on . Scupy Trooples Bankless In addition to that, built-in fuzzing, cheat codes, Cast, and Anvil make it a solid suite for testing smart contracts. There will be more detailed articles on those components coming soon. [Easy to integrate static analyzer] Let’s dive in and build an NFT project now. Installation: If you are on Mac or Linux, all you need to do is run two commands: curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash foundryup Make sure to close the terminal before running . foundryup And Voila! You are all done. For Windows, you need to have Rust installed and then : cargo install --git https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry --locked Project Setup: For this article, we will be creating a simple NFT project called Figbots. Start by creating a directory called “Figbots.” And  run once you are inside the directory. This command will create a foundry project for you with initialized. forge init git Let’s take a quick look at the folder structure. You have three primary folders, namely src, lib, and test. Very much self-explanatory here, you write your contracts in , tests in , and contains all the libraries you installed, e.g., OpenZeppelin. In addition to that, you get which contains all the configurations just like and if you have used those frameworks. Another sweet thing is .github, where you can write your Github Actions. I find it really helpful for tests when working in a team. src test lib foundry.toml hardhat.config.js brownie-config.yaml Let’s start building! We will create a simple NFT called Figbot with a limited supply, cost (for minting), and withdrawal. With this approach, we can cover edges for different tests. First of all, rename and to and respectively. Now, we can not write smart contracts without Openzeppelin, can we? Contract.sol test/Contract.t.sol Figbot.sol Figbot.t.sol Installing libraries with Foundry is slightly different than Hardhat and Brownie. We don’t have npm or pip packages. We install libraries directly from the Source (GitHub repo) in Foundry. forge install Openzeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts Now we can import the ERC721URIStorage.sol extension to create our NFT. To check that everything is alright, we can run the command , and it will compile our project. The compiler will yell at you if there is something wrong. Otherwise, you will get a successful compile. forge build Managing dependencies Just like any other package manager, Forge allows you to use , and to manage your dependencies. forge install <lib>, forge remove <lib> forge update <lib> Let’s Complete The NFT Contract: We will be using three contracts from the Openzeppelin. Counters, ERC721URIStorage, and Ownable. Time to upload our to IPFS using . We use the Ownable contract to set deploying address and have access to modifier to allow only the owner to withdraw funds. to help us with token id(s) and to keep the NFT contract simple. asset Pinata owner onlyOwner Counters ERC721URIStorage Setting state variable: to 100 MAX_SUPPLY to 0.69 ether COST to CID, we receive from Pinata TOKEN_URI Using Counter for token id: using Counters for Counters.Counter; Counters.Counter private tokenIds; ERC721 constructor: constructor() ERC721(“Figbot”, “FBT”) {} Mint function: Check if is greater than msg.value COST Check if is greater or equal to tokenIds.current() MAX_SUPPLY Perform and _safeMint _setTokenURI Withdraw function: function withdrawFunds() external onlyOwner {         uint256 balance = address(this).balance;         require(balance > 0, "No ether left to withdraw");         (bool success, ) = (msg.sender).call{value: balance}("");         require(success, "Withdrawal Failed");         emit Withdraw(msg.sender, balance);     } TotalSupply function: function totalSupply() public view returns (uint256) {                                         return _tokenIds.current();        } Testing The Contract: As we all know, testing our smart contracts is really important. In this section, we will be writing some tests to get a solid understanding of and get used to writing tests in native solidity. We will be three (I love them!) to manage account states to fit our test scenario. forge test Foundry cheat codes We will be testing for the following scenarios: Max Supply Successful mint Failed mint due to insufficient balance Withdraw (by owner) Cheatcodes As we can have complex logic in our smart contracts. And they are expected to behave differently depending on the state, the account used to invoke, time, etc. To deal with such scenarios, we can use cheatcodes to manage the state of the blockchain. We can use these cheatcodes using instance, which is a part of  Foundry’s library. vm Test We will be using three cheatcodes in our tests : : Sets for all subsequent calls until is called. startPrank msg.sender stopPrank : stopPrank Stops an active prank started by , resetting and to the values before was called. startPrank msg.sender tx.origin startPrank : Sets the balance of an address provided address to the given balance. deal Setup Foundry comes with a built-in testing library. We start by importing this test library, our contract (the one we want to test), defining the test, setting variables, and function. setUp pragma solidity ^0.8.13;

import"forge-std/Test.sol";
import "../src/Figbot.sol";

contract FigbotTest is Test {

  Figbot figbot;
  address owner = address(0x1223);
  address alice = address(0x1889);
  address bob = address(0x1778);
  
  function setUp() public {
      vm.startPrank(owner);
      figbot = new Figbot();
      vm.stopPrank(); 
  }
} For state variables, we create a variable of type . This is also the place where I like to define user accounts. In Foundry, you can describe an address by using the syntax . you can use any four alphanumeric characters for this. I have created the accounts named owner, Alice, and bob, respectively. figbot Figbot address(0x1243) Now our function. This is a requirement for writing tests in Foundry. This is where we do all the deployments and things of that nature. I used the cheatcode to switch the user to the “owner.” By default, Foundry uses a specific address to deploy test contracts. But that makes it harder to test functions with special privileges like . Hence, we switch to the “owner” account for this deployment. setUp startPrank withdrawFunds Test MaxSupply: Starting with a simple assertion test to learn Foundry convention. By convention, all the test functions must have the prefix . And we use to test if two values are equal. test assertEq We call our function and test if the result value is 100, as we described in our contract. And we use to run our tests. MaxSupply forge test And Voila!!! we have a passed test. Test Mint: Now that we have written a simple test, let’s write one with cheatcodes. The primary function of our contract. Switch user account to Alice. Set Alice’s balance to 1 ether Call the mint function Check if Alice is 1 balanceOf TestFail Mint: We have another testing function used for tests that we expect to fail. The prefix used for such a test is . We will test if the function reverts if the caller has insufficient funds. testFail mint Switch user account to Bob Set Bob’s balance to 0.5 ether (our NFT is 0.69 ether) Call the mint function (it will be reverted due to not having enough funds) Check if Bob is 1 balanceOf Because mint didn’t go through, the balance of Bob is not going to be 1. Hence, it will fail, which is exactly what we are used for. So when you run , it will pass. testFail forge test Test Withdraw: Here we will test a function that only the “owner” can successfully perform. For this test, we will : Switch user to Bob Give Bob’s account the balance of 1 ether Mint a Figbot from Bob’s account ( this will give the contract a balance of 0.69 ether ) Switch the user to the owner account Perform function ( if successful, it should make the owner’s balance 0.69 ether) withdrawFunds To verify, we assert if the owner’s balance is 0.69 ether Deployment: Now that we have tested our contract, it is time to deploy it. We need private keys to a wallet (with some Rinkeby test ETH) and an RPC URL. For our RPC URL, we will use . Figment DataHu Figment DataHub provides us with infrastructure to develop on Web 3. It supports multiple chains like Ethereum, Celo, Solana, Terra, etc. Setting up Figment DataHub: Create an account on . Figment DataHub Click on “Create New App.” Fill in the app name. Choose “Staging” for the environment. Select “Ethereum” from the provided options. You can get your RPC URL for Rinkeby from under the “Protocols” tab. Open your terminal to enter both of these things as environment variables. export FIG_RINKEBY_URL=<Your RPC endpoint>
export PVT_KEY=<Your wallets private key> Once we have the environment variables, we are all set to deploy forge create Figbot --rpc-url=$FIG_RINKEBY_URL --private-key=$PVT_KEY Verification: We are almost done here. So far, we have written, tested, and deployed a smart contract with Foundry and Figment DataHub. But we are not entirely done just yet. We are now going to verify our contract. We will need to set up our API key for that. Etherscan export ETHERSCAN_API=<Your Etherscan API Key> And now we can verify our smart contract. forge verify-contract --chain-id <Chain-Id> --num-of-optimizations 200  --compiler-version <Compiler Version> src/<Contract File>:<Contract>  $ETHERSCAN_API Congratulations! Now you can write, test, and deploy smart contracts using Foundry. I hope you enjoyed and learned from this article. I indeed enjoyed writing this. Feel free to let me know your thoughts about it.

: Vested Interest Disclosure The author's an independent contributor, and while HackerNoon has reviewed the story for quality, the claims hereon belong to the author. #DYOR Hi , welcome to our series “Behind the Startup.” Please tell us about yourself and the story behind Alpha Venture DAO? Ishan Pandey: Tascha Having been a Berkeley grad, I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and finance. During my undergraduate years, I spent time exploring financial services through multiple internships ranging from private equity wealth management, private equity, and venture capital, to investment banking. After graduation, I started my career in investment banking servicing tech clients globally before joining a tech company, Tencent, as a product manager and a crypto startup, Band Protocol, as Head of Strategy. During my time there, I headed research on the DeFi space and saw opportunities in yield farming at the onset of DeFi Summer. I then left Band Protocol to found Alpha Finance Lab to become a DeFi lab in 2020. Tascha: Before the Finance Lab rebranded and expanded to become Alpha Venture DAO recently, we focused on identifying market gaps in the DeFi space and innovating products to close those gaps. We introduced leveraged yield farming concept to Web3 and launched the first flagship product, Homora, which now spans across 4 different chains and has attracted more than $1.8M in TVL. We also started incubating external projects, including Beta Finance, GuildFi, and pSTAKE Finance, which have gone on to raise from tier-1 VCs and launched successful products and tokens. However, our beliefs and mission have continued to grow after that. We truly believe in Web3, not just DeFi, and the exponential growth in Web3 development and adoption going forward. However, the ecosystem and real support to ignite and accommodate this growth are nonexistent. The DAO will close that market gap, create a complete ecosystem and support, and be a hub for building and incubating high-quality Web3 projects. As a result, our DAO is no longer a token representing 1 project, but a proxy for Web3 innovation. Please tell us a little bit about Alpha Venture DAO and the Terra ecosystem it thrives on? Ishan Pandey: Our mission is to be a Builders’ DAO, a community of Web3 users, thought leaders, investors, and operators who build and innovate Web3 solutions. Our ecosystem consists of two pillars: build and incubate. We will continue to build in-house projects to capture market demands that dominate their sectors. On the other hand, the incubation part will be more community-driven. Tascha: We’ve onboarded 50+ thought leaders and global firms active in Web3 to join our network, such as Amazon AWS, Terra, Multicoin, Jason Choi, Darryl Wang, and individuals from Coinbase, Binance Launchpad, Web3 lawyers, founders of Web3 projects, and many more builders. Our network will be the coach and mentor for incubated projects, focusing on areas that are needed the most and that move the needle for the projects. Additionally, rather than growing the community from the ground up, incubated projects can tap into our network’s 140k+ community base of active Web3 users and token holders and rapidly bootstrap their own community from day 1. For instance, incubated projects will be able to post volunteer requests for our community to fulfill. Upon contributing, these community members will then get projects’ tokens and build their portfolio as a Web3 contributor. That way, we are turning community members into evangelists and ‘owners’ of the projects. You can think of the DAO as a decentralized VC with the community as its paycheck. DAOs address a long-standing governance issue known as the principal-agent dilemma by experts on the subject. What are the most important governance tasks within the DAO ecosystem that must be addressed at the earliest? Ishan Pandey: The DAO space is still nascent and the whole ecosystem is still in trial-and-error mode. That said, there are some great developments in the past 1 year on how decisions are being made. Tascha: The beauty of DAO governance is it puts the voting power to the community. However, that also means the way decisions are made is less efficient than in centralized organizations and sometimes less effective if the voting is in the hands of people with wrong motives. The most important governance tasks within the DAOs, therefore, start with onboarding the right people to join the DAO, then ensuring that the right people are aligned on the mission and vision of the project. That may mean dividing people into sub-groups or divisions responsible for areas that they are knowledgeable in. Then, give them the autonomy to make decisions quickly and flexibly without the need to go through DAO-wide voting. Do you think NFTs have the necessary mettle to generate an adequate ripple in the blockchain industry, especially in terms of returns on investments? Ishan Pandey: NFT and GameFi have been instrumental in bringing more people into the blockchain industry. The use cases of owning digital assets, the cultural element, and the entertainment nature of those two things are easy to understand and grasp. They make blockchain understandable for the general public. However, the value in terms of ROI is less clearcut. The value of NFTs depends on the value of the underlying assets which are harder to quantify. Like any assets with cultural elements, the value typically comes from the community built around the assets and the narratives that the community carries. As buyers of NFTs, it really comes down to assessing the value of the community of those NFTs, similarly to how one would assess any creative assets. Tascha: Decentralized systems have had to undergo quite a lot of hardships to keep up with the renowned efficiency and reliability of centralized systems. With the emergence of Web3 and crypto’s technological advancements, do you think decentralized systems will finally be able to overcome all hurdles previously faced by them? Ishan Pandey: Centralized systems have come a long way, but blockchain, which is one part of decentralization, has been around only for 14 years. Definitely, there is a long way to go for the decentralized systems to be equally developed. But I believe that with the pace that Web3 is moving, the best minds globally that the industry has attracted, and the innovation that we’ll see from this space will push forward decentralized systems to reach a stage at which we can achieve the balance of decentralization as well as efficiency and reliability. Tascha: According to you, what are the major limitations regarding Dapps and Defi applications running on the Ethereum blockchain? Ishan Pandey: For users, high transaction fees from network congestion and smart contract risks are the most inherent problems. The transaction costs make it inaccessible for small value transactions to take place and prevent many people from using protocols. For developers, development tools are still nascent. Even though Ethereum is the most developer-friendly blockchain with Solidity and Vyper smart contract languages and wide-ranging testing tools from truffle, hardhat, brownie, to Foundry's Forge, it is still a long way to go. More importantly, writing bug-free smart contracts is difficult. Smart contract audit is costly and may not catch everything. Even with smart contract code analyzers, the level of sophistication is not where it needs to be and, of course, not bullet-proof, especially for issues related to economic attacks e.g. flash loans. Tascha: Sky Mavis, the Vietnamese firm behind the crypto game Axie Infinity, has revealed that a hacker stole tens of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency from its blockchain. What are your views on the impact of such severe hacks on the crypto ecosystem? Ishan Pandey: I believe hacks, in general, are inevitable. With any industry that attracts trillions of dollars and adoption globally, there exist large opportunities for people to take advantage of. I believe it’s a part of the process that the blockchain industry has to go through to mature and get even more widely adopted. This Axie Infinity incident sheds light on how much more development, security standards, and maintenance are needed on the infrastructure layer such as cross-chain bridge in this case. As there exist opportunities and market gaps, I hope we can attract more talented security developers and researchers going forward to address these problems, close market gaps, and together drive the blockchain industry to a more mature stage. Tascha: What does the roadmap ahead look like for Alpha Venture DAO and the entire DAO ecosystem as a whole? Ishan Pandey: The first step of decentralization is the incubation arm. We’re onboarding thought leaders, influencers, experts, operators, and founders with unique skills to join our network, a group of people that represent the best mind share in Web3, who will mentor incubated projects and help them build and scale into a billion-dollar project. On the other hand, Web3 users can also join our community to start contributing to these highly curated incubated projects as well. Tascha: In the future, we will decentralize decision-making on the building arm of our network, particularly on product parameters and features, followed by decentralized governance of the DAO as a whole. We believe that decentralization should not happen without the ability to get things done and the ability to make good decisions. That’s why we choose to carefully decentralize in multiple phases and focus on onboarding high-quality members of Web3 to join our DAO as the initial step. Don’t forget to like and share the story!

You’ve probably heard of cryptocurrency — most notably, Bitcoin. The magic behind the screen that allows people to buy and trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is a technology known as blockchain. “Next big thing” pundit Don Tapscott has It may be a bit hyperbolic, but illustrates the power of blockchain technology, nonetheless. “never seen a technology that he thought had greater potential for humanity.” Others predict blockchain will catalyze growth of the global economy by reinventing stock exchanges, asset management — and even the way fine art is bought and sold. What if they’re right? And what is blockchain, anyway? Transparent tech Even in blockchain’s simplest form, it is still pretty technical — so bear with us. series of immutable records of data. These records are managed by a cluster of computers, which aren’t owned by any single entity. Each of data is secured and to each other using cryptographic principles. Blockchain is a time-stamped block chained In short, blockchain is beloved by its users because there is no central authority. The shared ledger is open for anyone to see, which makes the entire process very transparent. It also carries low transaction costs, which makes it highly accessible. Digibles: your new word of the day. “#Blockchain is a revolution for good, not for money. It’s about changing the world.” — Joseph Lubin We agree with Mr. Lubin. That’s why TapRoots grants users the ability to earn, amplify and trade virtual ancient artifacts that carry age-old wisdom applicable in the modern age. Digital Collectibles — or “digibles” — are part of the weird and wonderful future made possible by the blockchain. A fun, unique test of this concept that caught on fire is CryptoKitties, a game that launched in late 2017 which allows users to breed and trade virtual cats. One even sold for over $100,000! No, the apocalypse is not upon us: the CryptoKitties folks use their viral power to support numerous charitable endeavors, including protecting sea turtle breeding grounds (real ones, not digital). When you have physical collectibles like baseball cards, they can be verified by a baseball card expert. In the digital space, blockchains can verify the traceable ownership of digital collectibles. The blockchain traces where the digital asset came from, who currently owns it, and approximately how much it is worth. A crypto-collectible cannot be easily stolen because it’s unique to a certain blockchain, and it’s cryptographically secure. That security is one of blockchain tech’s biggest selling points. There are so many stolen ideas on the internet (seriously: just look at the front page of Reddit for repeats ), so a traceable and protected collectible is highly valuable, in more ways than one. Digital Collectibles Are Changing the Crypto-Landscape Digital collectibles intrigue so many because of their rarity. As humans, we crave some sense of uniqueness. That’s why websites like eBay thrive. Since 1997, the website has been a hot-spot for collectibles — we all remember when Beanie Babies hurtled eBay into the public sphere! Whether it’s winning an auction on that rare bobblehead, unearthing shells along a seashore or discovering digital goodies on our tablets, the thrill of collecting, curating and hunting down new finds continues to enthrall us. At 500 BC Foundry, we want you to have fun using our app. Taproots offers blockchain-powered rewards, in the form of digital collectible artefacts. TapRoots will allow you to easily trade, purchase and sell the artefacts you forge within the app, using Coinbase Wallet to access OpenSea . All virtual artefacts you earn will be stored in your personal Trove on TapRoots but — since you’re descended from a long line of explorers — we know you’ll soon want to dip your toes in something much bigger: rarifying and trading your artefacts through OpenSea. TapRoots is a game to help you know and grow yourself. Soon, with blockchain-powered rewards, we hope to make investing in yourself even more fun. and enter our pre-launch contest today!

Blockchain and the World of Digibles

From the Nordic country of , the hottest conference in the cloud community was held. Boasting an attendance of more than 4, 300, it is one of the biggest conferences in the open source community this year. Denmark The main story for this year is the massive adoption of Kubernetes and the of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). growth 4300 Participants at KubeCon and CloudNative Con The growth of CNCF was clearly indicated both by the doubling of the number of attendees and the number of projects advancing from 8 to 20 projects. The breadth of the projects and the different problems solved by these makes Kubernetes a force multiplier causing support to be a major criteria when picking solutions to business problems. The New Multi Cloud? The big three cloud providers AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure now provides full managed offering for Kubernetes. Other companies who are now Kubernetes converts include Rancher (2.0), Mesosphere, IBM, Redhat Openshift. From the growth of adoption and the number of offerings from these companies, it seems like Kubernetes is the solution to the unsolved problem of multi-cloud. Massive Adoption According to Cloud Foundry’s keynote, 50 out of the Fortune 100 companies are already using Kubernetes or are running trials. JD.com, one of the biggest e-commerce company in China, are running 20,000 servers on their clusters — the biggest cluster running a staggering 5,000 server cluster. Monzo Keynote End-user presenters also include FT.com (a popular journalism company focusing on finance), Monzo (a startup bank in the UK) and CERN who are running their large hadron collider calculations using Kubernetes for federation and high throughput batch computing. CERN Distributed Computing Problem Technical Focus On the technical point of view, Google’s foci this year are Security, Experience and Application. Kubernetes Security Progress For the past few months, news of Kubernetes security hacks are quickly becoming a concern. One of the most prominent is that of tesla. This year, Kubernetes focuses on Security and secure defaults. Due to the complexities of creating a kubernetes cluster and running it, there is a lack of secure defaults. Adding secure defaults which adds more complexities when trying to initial break through the technical wall of creating a kubernetes cluster. Security as defined on the Kubernetes is being divided into three layers. The first is Infrastructure security which focuses on both the control plane and the worker node security. This is especially important when adding multi-tenancy in the same Kubernetes cluster. This means setting up secure defaults when running pods, (using podSecurityPolicies), network policy. node communication using mTLS authentication authorization, Node and RBAC modes. The second is Container security which focuses more on the security of images stored in the container registry. This security layer are usually handled by the security registry themselves or can be done using a security scanning application. The last and newest layer is the Runtime security which focuses on the application runtime making sure that exploits or backdoors on a running application is prevented. This layer is usually the entry point for external hackers and is therefore the most important to get right. This can be achieved by checking container behaviour and setting policies when a container does some it is not supposed to do on the duration of its runtime. Developer Experience Plan Experience or Developer Experience is increasingly important for the Kubernetes community in order to promote adoption within the open source community. As more features are developed within Kubernetes, it becomes a multiplier for developers to write applications within Kubernetes. One of the projects aiming to improve developer experience is Google Skaffold Application which is becoming more and more cloud native and therefore tied to the kubernetes ecosystem. In terms of applications, Kube Native Applications are becoming popular using Operators and CRD (Custom Resource Definitions) these kinds of applications promotes intelligent clusters aware of the business logic of an individual company. The two main reason provided to go down this path of Kube Native Apps instead of using Helm Charts is easier logic management of RBAC (Role Based Access Control) and easier lifecycling of an application. Kube Native Apps Redhat/CoreOS Keynote about Kube Native Apps For example, CERN is using Kube Native Application to run their distributed workload across multiple federated cluster for easier lifecycling and to aggregate the results using a hybrid type of kubernetes job. The end result of this is easier management of these jobs which are then aggregated ready to be analyzed by Physicists. The Future There were also presentations about running deep-learning, machine learning and high throughput computing (HTC) done by Booking.com for image tagging and smart bookings. Areas of development this year are Service Mesh using Istio and Tracing, DNS Management using CoreDNS and Identity Management and Trust Management for distributed workloads using SPIFIFFE and SPIRE, Networking using CNI (Container Network Interface) and its plugins. GitOps is becoming a trending concept as well. The new CNCF project stages are sandbox, incubation and graduated with Kubernetes the only graduated project yet.
