I see vibe coding as an attracting force to quality engineering. What I clearly judge to be abnormal is when you are…
The stablecoin race has been going on quietly for a long time until recently. Almost every ecosystem has its own stablecoins; Ethereum, Solana, and even Hyperliquid. But how come there has never been a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin? This is where Hermitica’s USDh comes into the chat! Perhaps you just heard about USDh and you’re curious about
Recently, USDG came up as one of the topmost stablecoins in the Solana ecosystem, and it is equally gaining gradual adoption in the EVM. If you are a developer or security researcher, there are quite a lot of exciting things you will want to know about USDG. For instance, even though it’s an abstraction of
If you are set to found a protocol in this industry, you must have had to ask yourself this question during your research face, “How come many protocols similar to what I want to build are no longer around today?”
This is a valid question and introspection; it shows you want to build something that lasts, which is commendable.
How would you feel if there were an application on Solana for you to track your expenses? Great, right? That is the goal of this tutorial – to build an expense tracking program with Anchor. Anchor is quite a dynamic language for any developer to express their ideas and build them into products on Solana.
Proper tracking of monetary flows is always helpful in personal finance. I participated in a recent hackathon where I built an MVP that users can utilize in visualizing their bank statements. This blog is a break-down of this feature. You’ll learn how you can also build the same with Python for backend and Nextjs for
From the very day you got the idea of what your Web3 startup will be, you will also think of various ways it can possibly become big. Even though you have read Paul Graham’s essay about doing things that don’t scale, you have some low-key plans of how you want it to scale. Today is
Have you ever tried to send funds to your friend in Syria or Nigeria with Stripe or Paypal? Then you will get what I mean. Incredibly, crypto is the first payment system that broke down the walls of international payments for everyone regardless of where they live: lower barrier of entry and incredible speed. Indeed,
Any production-worthy codebase must be secure and safe for its users. Imagine a financial application where the users’ passwords are plainly available in the database. Such a product is way more susceptible to malicious attacks. Not long ago, threat actors stole over 8 million passwords of DailyQuiz users because they were in plaintext. In this
Smart contracts, unlike what most people think, are not smart in themselves. Humans write them, and humans are imperfect; therefore, smart contracts often contain vulnerabilities. There are tales of reputable protocols that hackers drained. Should I start with the story of The DAO hack? Or should I talk about the Euler Finance hack? Numerous incidents
I began my Ethereum smart contract engineering journey some years back. My main motivation was to increase my technical proficiency in the Web3 space. The first question I asked was, “Which language do I need to learn?” Everyone I reached out to recommended Solidity. After over a year of writing Solidity, I got to know
Understanding Solidity is the most popularly adopted language for writing smart contracts among EVM-compatible chains. Anyone who wants to be proficient at writing Solidity smart contracts for several use cases needs to understand an important concept — functions. Functions form the larger part of most smart contracts in Solidity. They help define business logic and
There has been a paradigm shift in the history of technology. Web3, a new evolution of the web, is challenging the old pattern of one entity ruling everywhere and everyone. The industry has witnessed exponential growth over the last couple of years. We have seen many Web3 companies like Aave, Consensys, and Chainlink making the
