🔥 Top Stories

1. A look into the ways China has used blockchain technology to lift 98 million people out of poverty since 2012. - Paragraph

🏷️ Technology • China

💬 TL;DR: China has used blockchain—largely in centralized, state-led ways—to support its Targeted Poverty Alleviation drive, helping lift around 98 million people out of extreme poverty since 2012. Applications range from food traceability (like QR-tracked “million-step” chickens), transparent management of government funds, microloans for rural farmers, and blockchain-based charity and insurance platforms. While this approach contrasts with the cypherpunk vision of decentralization, it shows how blockchain, when embedded into public policy and institutions, can materially improve trust, transparency, and rural incomes at massive scale. — @Danicjade

2. Oracle configuration to blame for the latest ribbonfinance attack - 𝕏/@hklst4r

🏷️ Oracle • ribbon finance • attack

💬 Ribbon Finance was exploited due to a misconfigured oracle: some assets were priced with 18 decimals while others (like USDC) remained at 8. Attackers spun up short-dated option markets, used LINK as collateral, and exploited the pricing mismatch at expiry, draining about $2.7M from the old contract. — @Hades

3. As DeFi cards like Ether.fi Cash bring real-world spending to crypto, on-chain transparency exposes links between spending wallets and broader portfolios. Using Hinkal Wallet as an intermediary breaks this traceability, allowing users to fund Ether.fi Cash while preserving financial privacy without sacrificing DeFi functionality. - 𝕏/@Hinkal_Protocol
