Scalability is currently one of the largest concerns for the Ethereum network. Despite being the most popular blockchain development platform, the network still suffers from scalability issues, from slow transactions to high gas costs once the network gets congested. This can have a negative effect on decentralized applications (dapps) due to high transaction costs as well as stablecoins such as USDC and USDT which require users to use ETH to pay for transactions. There are protocols that are working on tackling these issues faced by protocols on the Ethereum network, one of which is a Cardano-based decentralized exchange. The platform works as a decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM), and they worked with the to provide stablecoins USDC and USDT to the Cardano mainnet ecosystem. The platform also reached a total value locked (TVL) of 62.5m ADA after launching its mainnet. WingRiders , Milkomeda Foundation The platform aims to provide a cheaper and more scalable alternative to Ethereum-based dapps and services including a decentralized exchange (DEX) with an automated market maker (AMM) as well as stablecoins (USDT and USDC). Before we look into the platform, let’s delve into the scalability concerns with Ethereum. Ethereum and its Scalability Issues Scalability is an issue for Ethereum, as we've seen with Bitcoin in previous years. The most widely used smart contract platform was released as a proof-of-work network in 2015. Despite being the most popular blockchain development platform, it has to develop an infrastructure that can be used by billions of people all over the globe without raising issues around scale or security. When it comes to the Ethereum network, one example of its scalability problem was the blockchain game CryptoKitties. CryptoKitties is an Ethereum-based blockchain game that was released in 2017. The game allows players to buy, collect, breed, and trade virtual cats. The game became very popular and users buying and selling kittens on the network caused the Ethereum network to since there were so many transactions. become congested The large number of transactions was a problem since Ethereum is only capable of processing around in its present form. Ethereum will need a much higher throughput to become truly scalable for global use. 30 transactions per second Furthermore, all of the nodes on the Ethereum network must process each transaction and smart contract. This restricts Ethereum's transaction throughput since the amount of work needed by a single node is effectively capped. Another reason is that the Ethereum platform utilizes the same blockchain for all dapps. Due to the massive volume of network transactions generated by CryptoKitties, the Ethereum platform's other dapps got clogged and delayed as well. As a consequence of this, a greater quantity of ETH was needed to be used whenever a transaction or contract was executed on the network. Due to the high volume of transactions, users were forced to compete for faster transaction speeds by spending more ETH (or gas) to incentivize nodes to process their transactions. Miners on the network automatically processed the more expensive transactions since they were more lucrative. Cardano is a Suitable Platform for Scalable Dapps Whilst Ethereum Transitions to ETH 2.0 Whilst proof-of-work is progressively being phased out of Ethereum, slow transactions, scalability issues, and other issues persist. Blockchain developers now have a choice with the Cardano blockchain's proof-of-stake model, and WingRiders makes it available to investors. Within six days of coming online on April 12, WingRiders had accumulated over , with a high of 62.5 million ADA in the first month before the significant crypto market downturn. Once yield farming was implemented, their mainnet went live and 1.6% (1,600,000 WRT)  of its token supply was allocated to the first month's worth of yield farming incentives and bonuses. $60 million in total value locked (TVL) The platform has a double yield farming functionality, which allows liquidity providers to earn additional tokens from the automatic staking in ADA-containing pools and yield farming of platform tokens. Those earnings are in addition to the standard exchange fees that liquidity pools receive. WingRiders uses the extended unspent transaction output (EUTXO) protocol. UTXO is the amount of cryptocurrency left behind after a transaction, some crypto users refer to this as "dust". In simple terms, it's like the change left over after transferring crypto out of your wallet. by allowing addresses to contain arbitrary logic in the form of scripts as well as being able to carry almost any kind of data. This in smart contract execution costs and enables a more powerful parallelization of transactions. EUTXO builds on the UTXO model increases security and predictability The platform’s DEX has also incorporated Ledger hardware wallets into its platform, making it possible to conduct transactions with increased security. In order to address the problems that have plagued DEXs on Ethereum, WingRiders's exchange platform uses the advantages of Cardano. Due to Cardano’s Ouroboros Proof-of-Stake (PoS) protocol, the DEX is less likely to experience excessive gas prices or failed transactions, issues that have been present with Ethereum-based DEXs. Conclusion WingRiders aims to address issues related to scalability of Ethereum-based dapps and protocols by using Cardano’s PoS blockchain to reduce transaction fees, improve speeds and prevent network congestion. If the platform succeeds, it could work as a suitable alternative for developers and users of decentralized applications and stablecoins.

WingRiders DEX Aims to Address Scalability Issues Faced by Ethereum Dapps

Automated market maker (AMM)-based decentralized exchanges have become one of the most convenient ways to exchange crypto tokens. The majority of these DEXs are built on top of account-based blockchains like Ethereum, with Uniswap being the first exchange built in this style. However, there have been new innovations in how decentralized exchanges operate, with a new Cardano-based model known as the (EUTXO) model. Extended Unspent Transaction Output With constant fees and formally validated deterministic behavior, Cardano's EUTXO model addresses some of the limitations of DEXs on other blockchains. is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that uses an AMM model as well as the EUTXO protocol. WingRiders In this post we’ll look at the evolution of decentralized exchanges as well as the EUTXO protocol and the WingRiders platform. The Workings of the Financial System The financial world of today is highly centralized and regulated. This means that regulated institutions are in charge of your funds and are personally liable for them. The processes, accounting, infrastructure and security levels of these commercial entities are all audited by government authorities. Bank accounts are frequently insured, so consumers will not lose money if their bank goes bankrupt. Users have faith in third parties such as banks, as well as the authorities' ability to adequately audit banks. If the bank does not behave according to the rules and users are not satisfied, they can complain to the authorities. It is illegal and easily detectable for bankers to just take money from their customers. The government can also cancel the banks' licenses to run the service if there were severe issues. Decentralization has brought about a new type of monetary exchange and we’ll look at that in the next section. How Digital Asset Exchanges Have Evolved Trading in digital assets is still dominated by centralized exchanges (CEXs). Private keys, exchange trading settings, user information, fund security, fees, and the exchange ratio are all under their custody. These centralized exchanges use an order book to display buy and sell orders. Traders can use this order book to place orders which are then matched by a central market maker. A certain matching procedure must be followed when matching buy and sell orders. Once a match is made, the trade between the two parties can begin. Orders can be of two types on exchanges that use an order book, “market” and “limit orders”. A market order is an order to buy or sell a token at the market's current best available price. A limit order is an order to buy or sell a token at a specific price or better. Buy limit orders can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. As a result, the limit order can be held for a longer amount of time until market conditions meet the user's desired price. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has changed how users trade cryptocurrencies. Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) provide a non-custodial solution, as well as lower fees, anonymity and global availability for users. Exchanges based on the Automated Market Maker (AMM) model offer automated asset trading through smart contracts. Users don’t need to trade with another user to fulfill their swap requests since orders are fulfilled automatically using tokens from a liquidity pool. Liquidity pools are collections or “pools” of cryptocurrencies or tokens that are locked in a smart contract and used to facilitate trades between assets on a DEX. Tokens in a liquidity pool are provided by a liquidity provider who locks their tokens in the smart contract. In return, liquidity providers either earn fees or additional tokens for providing liquidity. Liquidity Providers (LPs) need to deposit an equal amount of each cryptocurrency to their respective pools to provide liquidity. This means that, for a pool with the pair ADA and token A, a liquidity provider must deposit $100 in ADA coins and $100 in A tokens. The price of a token is set by algorithms based on a changing ratio in liquidity pools. User swap requests are directed to a pool of tokens that are identical. It is required to have enough tokens in the pools to be able to execute trades on the AMM exchange. To put it another way, pools need enough liquidity for a trader to successfully trade tokens in the respective pools. AMM-Based DEXs are a simple solution for users to trade tokens using a non-custodial system. WingRiders is an AMM-based DEX that builds on the Cardano network's stable foundations. Their goal is to provide a secure platform that allows users to exchange native Cardano tokens without the usage of intermediaries or single points of failure. The project is creating an infrastructure element with a decentralized exchange platform based on the Cardano blockchain. Animoca Brands, the company behind Axie Infinity and The Sandbox, invested into the project alongside other investors including Bitrue and Spark Digital Capital. WingRiders uses the EUTXO model to power its decentralized exchange ecosystem and we’ll look at how the EUTXO system works in the next section. How the Extended UTXO Model Works Before we can know how the EUTXO model functions, we first need to understand how the UTXO model works. The flow of assets in a UTXO model is represented as a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Nodes represent the transactions and edges represent the transaction outputs, and each additional transaction consumes part of the UTXOs while adding new ones. Users' wallets determine their balance by keeping track of a list of unspent outputs connected with all addresses they control. In many ways, UTXO is identical to cash. For example, consider the following scenario: you have $100 in your wallet. This sum could be made up of a variety of different bills: four $20 bills and two $10 bills or eight $10 bills and four $5 bills, and so on. The sum ($100) remains the same regardless of the permutations. The same is true for UTXOs. Any balance you have in your crypto wallet (for example, 500 ADA) can be built up using a variety of UTXO combinations based on prior transactions, but the total value remains the same. In other words, a wallet address's balance is the total of all unspent UTXOs from prior transactions. The extends the UTXO model in two ways: EUTXO model 1. EUTXO Uses the Lock-and-Key Analogy to Expand the Concept of 'Address.' Addresses in the EUTXO model can contain arbitrary logic in the form of scripts, rather than constraining locks to public keys and keys to signatures. When a node verifies a transaction, for example, it decides whether the transaction is permitted to use a specific output as an input. If the transaction can use the output as an input, the transaction will seek for the script provided by the output's address and execute it. 2. EUTXO Outputs Can Carry Almost Any Data The second distinction between UTXO and EUTXO is that, in addition to an address and a value, outputs can carry (nearly) any data. By allowing scripts to carry state information, they become much more powerful. EUTXO also expands on the UTXO model by allowing output addresses to contain complicated logic to determine which transactions are allowed to unlock them, as well as by allowing custom data to be added to all outputs. When validating an address, the script will look at the data carried by the output, the transaction being checked, and some additional data known as redeemers that the transaction supplies for each input. The script provides enough context to deliver a 'yes' or 'no' answer in what can be highly complex circumstances and use cases by digging up all of this information. EUTXO allows for arbitrary logic to be expressed in the form of scripts. This arbitrary logic examines the transaction and data to determine whether or not the transaction can use an input. The graph topology of the UTXO paradigm differs significantly from the account-based model employed by several existing smart-contract enabled blockchains. As a result, design patterns for DApps on account-based blockchains do not easily adapt to Cardano. New design patterns are required because the underlying representation of the data is different. Final Thoughts Decentralized exchanges offer all of the same services as centralized exchanges, but in an anonymous and non-custodial manner. Before the creation of Ethereum, traders had to rely on centralized systems to exchange cryptocurrency. However, smart contracts have ushered in a trustless and entirely open financial system. The EUTXO model adds to this system by providing increased security, predictability in smart contract execution costs (avoiding unpleasant surprises), and more powerful parallelization. When implemented appropriately, these technological advances have the potential to benefit all players economically. The content is this story is provided by an independent contributor. Disclaimer:

In this post, we'll explore the benefits and risks of DeFi and provide some tips for minimizing the risks of getting involved in this exciting but volatile space. DeFi in a Nutshell Decentralized finance, abbreviated as "DeFi" for short, refers to various financial products and services built on top of decentralized networks like Ethereum. The introduction of DeFi has the potential to disrupt traditional financial institutions since it gives individuals and companies alternative, transparent, and secure ways of lending, borrowing, trading, and managing their assets. One of the essential components of DeFi is its reliance on smart contracts. Smart contracts are contracts that execute themselves automatically and have the terms of the agreement between the buyer and seller encoded directly into lines of code. As a result, smart contracts enable DeFi applications to complete financial transactions instantly, eliminating the need for intermediaries such as banks and other financial organizations. DeFi Applications One kind of DeFi application is a decentralized exchange (DEX). DEXs allow users to exchange bitcoins and other digital assets in a trustless and transparent manner. DEXs are decentralized exchanges that, since they are built on smart contracts, do not need a central authority to perform trade. As a result, users have complete control over their assets and do not have to worry about the exchange being hacked or being down for maintenance. The DEX and automated market maker (AMM) uses smart contracts and liquidity pools instead of order books to manage liquidity and price slippage and to execute trades. Uniswap The DEX grew in popularity over 2021 as the bull market went full swing. The popularity of this DEX led to the birth of its counterparts on the Polygon ( ) network, on Binance Smart Chain ( ), and more. QuickSwap MATIC PancakeSwap BSC is another DEX that runs on Cardano ( ) and is the first protocol Tether ( ) and USD Coin ( ) on the network. WingRiders ADA to bridge the stablecoins USDT USDC Another popular use of the DeFi protocol is a decentralized network for lending and borrowing money. Users may use these sites to lend out unused bitcoin assets and earn interest. Through these platforms, users may also borrow assets by providing collateral. When compared to more traditional methods of lending and borrowing, decentralized lending and borrowing systems outperform in many ways. One reason is that developers usually build these platforms on top of DEXes. So, for example, they provide higher interest rates to lenders and lower interest rates to borrowers, as well as terms and conditions that are more responsive to the user's demands. is one of the most popular lending protocols that allow users to deposit their crypto into lending pools and earn interest while other users can borrow from those same pools. Compound is another popular lending platform that uses smart contracts to , distribute crypto to borrowers, and more. AAVE collect deposited collateral Decentralized autonomous organizations also play a role in the DeFi space. A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is a digital organization that uses smart contracts and is based on blockchain technology. DAOs are decentralized because they are not controlled by a single person or authority but rather by a set of rules encoded in smart contracts. These rules explain the DAO's decision-making processes and operational procedures enforced by the smart contracts' automated execution. DAOs enable decentralized decision-making and may be used for several reasons, including fund management, proposal voting, and investing. Regarding DeFi, DAOs can enable members to participate in staking pools, vote on proposals to platforms linked to the DAO, and more. In addition, the maintains a risk matrix that facilitates the application of risk models to its platform. Users can also develop and recommend their own risk models. Spool DAO After going through the Spool DAO's review process and being approved, other investors may put these features on the platform for users. Uniswap also operates as a DAO, with community members using Uniswap tokens ( ) to vote on proposals surrounding how the platform is run. UNI For example, in , a proposal was made to enable fees for some Uniswap protocols. In , the proposal was voted on, and a slow rollout is in progress. July 2022 December 2022 Benefits and Risks of DeFi One of the key benefits of distributed finance is the ability to deliver more accessible and inclusive financial services. Because traditional financial institutions are subject to the same regulatory constraints, DeFi applications only need to adapt to these requirements because they are built on decentralized networks. This suggests that DeFi apps may reach a broader global audience, including people needing access to conventional financial services owing to geographical or economic obstacles. This is an important step because it opens the path for DeFi to become an industry standard. Compared to traditional financial systems, DeFi stands out for its better levels of transparency and safety. All transactions are recorded on the blockchain, making audits straightforward. The open source and transparent nature of smart contracts enable this. This reduces the risk of fraudulent behavior and ensures that everyone involved in a financial transaction is held accountable for their actions. However, there are several risks involved with adopting DeFi. One of the most serious risks is that DeFi applications are still in their early stages of development and may have bugs or security issues. For example, in 2020, a mistake in Harvest Financial, a decentralized finance application, resulted in the loss of more than 24 million dollars in cryptocurrency. Furthermore, decentralized financial applications are frequently built on complex and volatile cryptocurrency networks, making them vulnerable to price volatility and market risks. If anything goes wrong, customers can avoid losing their cash since DeFi-enabled programs are not insured and are not maintained by any central agency. However, customers are also exposed to this danger. Users may be left with no recourse for recouping lost monies if, for example, a smart contract is breached by hackers or a DeFi program is stopped. Additional risks in the DeFi space, as outlined by Spool in their , include: whitepaper "Financial risks include: Market volatility Lock-in of funds Impermanent loss Interconnectedness of protocols Legal Risks include: DeFi regulation vague or non-existent Potentially suboptimal implementation through sanctions KYC/AML enforcement Human Risks include: Needs deep expertise to judge open-source code Bugs built into the software by developers Bad actors manipulating code and governance mechanism Custodial solutions market themselves as decentralized Technological Risks include: DeFi is a new, rapidly evolving technology Baselayer blockchains struggling with outages Baselayer congestion Code exploits Oracle as attack vectors" Conclusion Decentralized finance has the potential to disrupt traditional financial systems and offer more transparent, secure, and inclusive financial services. However, users need to know the risks associated with DeFi, including vulnerabilities and bugs in smart contracts, market fluctuations, and the lack of insurance or central backing. If you want to minimize the risks associated with DeFi, it is essential to do your own research, only invest what you can afford to lose, and use reputable DeFi platforms and services. In addition, as DeFi continues to evolve and mature, it will be necessary for users to stay informed and to carefully weigh the benefits and risks before making any financial decisions.

Deep Diving into DeFi: A Closer Look at Decentralized Finance

Learn how inDrive’s bug bounty program strengthens cybersecurity by collaborating with white hat hackers to detect vulnerabilities and optimize security processes. Introduction In a world where digital technology is infiltrating every aspect of our lives, cybersecurity is of paramount importance. Companies around the world are investing heavily in protecting their data and systems from cyber threats. One of the most effective methods of strengthening security is to work with independent security experts, also known as “white hat hackers.” This article will be useful for companies that are planning to launch a bug bounty program or have already launched one. We will share our experience in organizing and developing the bug bounty program at inDrive and how it has helped strengthen our cybersecurity. We would also like to point out that you should not limit yourself to the bug bounty program, as it is not a panacea for solving all security problems. Bug bounty can help you identify some vulnerabilities, but it does not cover the full range of possible threats. You need to take a comprehensive approach to security that includes the use of various security tools and techniques. As the graph below shows, different tools detect different numbers of vulnerabilities, which emphasizes the importance of combining methods such as automated scanners, static and dynamic code analysis, security audits, and employee training. Beginning Initially, our bug bounty program worked in closed mode. This allowed us to control the flow of bughunters, gradually send out invitations and track the results. This approach gave us the opportunity to quietly debug and improve internal processes. Thanks to this, we were able to prepare for going public. Integration and Triage Identifying vulnerabilities in a bug bounty program is a key step. We use automatic integration with Slack and Jira to make this process fast and efficient. Slack We use two channels: The main channel for communicating key events in report processing. This includes notifications of new reports, task assignments to engineers, and vulnerability disclosure requests. This channel allows the team to always be aware of critical events. An additional channel is for employees involved in the initial analysis and triage of reports. Notifications of non-urgent activities such as report comments and triage details are sent here. Account Matching Setting up a mapping between HackerOne and Slack users ensures that important comments and report notes are directly delivered to the responsible parties, minimizing the risk of missing important information. This simplifies communication between the inDrive security team and researchers, facilitating more effective vulnerability remediation. Jira Integration with Jira allows you to create a task only in the right place with a specific set of fields. Using the Jira Automation functionality, we created our own task processing rules to improve our internal vulnerability handling processes, allowing us to efficiently organize this process. Below is an example of this automation: Found By Automation: The system automatically populates the Found By field with the bug bounty value, indicating the origin of the task for analytics. Task Assignment: Using rules, a task is automatically assigned to an engineer, ensuring even distribution of work. Slack Notifications: When a task is assigned, a notification is sent to Slack that mentions the engineer and provides all the necessary information. For critical vulnerabilities: Messages to a dedicated Slack channel: Notification of a critical vulnerability is sent to a separate channel for immediate response. Sending SMS messages: In addition, SMS notifications are sent to the responsible persons. Fighting Spam With Triggers Triggers in HackerOne are a powerful tool that allows you to automate various actions in response to certain events related to new vulnerability reports. They greatly simplify the work of the security team and help optimize the process of responding to reports. For example, when rebranding the company from inDriver to inDrive, we often encountered reports of problems with social media accounts. We customized the trigger as follows: Trigger condition: If the report contains words from the list: media, social, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Trigger action: When the specified condition is detected, a pop-up window with the following warning text is automatically displayed to the researcher: “Hi, it looks like you are about to report an issue with social media links (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook). Our company is in the process of rebranding and we are aware of this issue. We are temporarily not accepting reports for this issue, so we urge you to properly acknowledge the issue and familiarize yourself with the security policy before proceeding and submitting a report.” This not only helps to reduce the number of inappropriate reports but also educates researchers, improving the quality of future reports. Campaign and Telegram Channel We understood that over time the activity in the program would decrease. This is a natural process due to the fact that the most obvious vulnerabilities have already been found and eliminated, and attracting the attention of researchers again requires additional efforts. To maintain a high level of engagement and interest in our program, we took a number of measures. One of the key tools was our specialized Telegram channel for bughunters. This channel serves not only as a means of communication but also as a platform for sharing useful information. We actively share information about our application and provide materials that can help researchers find vulnerabilities in our services. This may be technical documentation, descriptions of new features, or architectural changes that may be of interest from a security point of view. Key benefits of our Telegram channel: Official updates: Direct and reliable news from the inDrive security team.
New Feature Announcements: Information about new services and features that may be of interest to bug bounty enthusiasts.
Promotions and Events: Information about special offers and events related to the bug bounty program. More information about the channel can be found by following the link — https://t.me/indrive_bbp. In addition, to attract both new and experienced bughunters, we regularly launch campaigns on the HackerOne platform. Campaigns allow us to stimulate bughunters’ interest in our program. We also announce all campaign launches via our Telegram channel, which allows us to quickly convey information to the audience and encourage them to participate. For example, below are statistics from one of the campaigns: These measures allow us to keep interest in the bugbounty program at a high level, ensuring a constant flow of fresh ideas and findings, which ultimately contributes to improving the security of our products. Our tips will help you dramatically improve your time to every stage of vulnerability processing — from time to first response to triage to time to bounty. And this, in turn, will increase the trust and satisfaction of the bug hunters participating in your program. In conclusion, our experience in organizing and developing a bug bounty program at inDrive is a vivid example of how hiring external security experts can significantly strengthen a company’s cyber defense. Thanks to our community of white hat hackers, we were not only able to identify and remediate many vulnerabilities but also optimized our internal processes, which increased our efficiency and improved the protection of our systems and data. We thank all participants of our bug bounty program for their invaluable contribution to inDrive’s security and invite new researchers to join our community.
