Layer3 Partners With HackenProof To Launch $500,000 Bug Bounty Program
Distribution and identity protocol, Layer3 announced a partnership with the bug bounty platform HackenProof to introduce a $500,000 bug bounty program.
A bug bounty program is a security initiative that rewards individuals for discovering and reporting software vulnerabilities, offering both recognition and compensation for their efforts.
The program launched by Layer3 aims to identify and address issues related to smart contract malfunctions across various levels of operational disruptions. It seeks evidence of problems that could lead to unintended consequences, such as theft or loss of funds, unauthorized transactions, and permanent freezing across critical severity. For high severity, it seeks temporary freezing issues, while griefing or malicious disruptions are targeted at medium severity.
Tokenized attention needs next-level security.

Layer3 Unveils Guidelines For Reporting: Single Report Requirement And PoC Mandate With Variable Rewards
Users are required to submit a single vulnerability per report, except when multiple vulnerabilities must be linked to demonstrate their impact. A Proof of Concept (PoC) is necessary for all levels of severity.
During testing, users must adhere strictly to the defined scope and avoid testing on mainnet or public testnet code. Efforts should be made to prevent any damage or restrictions to products, services, or infrastructure, as well as to avoid compromising personal data or causing interruptions or degradation of service.
For blockchain vulnerabilities, only the issue with the highest severity will qualify for a reward. Critical vulnerabilities are those leading to loss or permanent freezing of staked funds. These critical issues are compensated with a 6-month linear vesting schedule, with a maximum reward of USD 500,000 in DEXE tokens. Medium severity issues receive payouts in stablecoins, while high and critical severity issues are rewarded in DEXE tokens.
Layer3 operates as a distribution and identity protocol aimed at the $1 trillion “attention” market. The platform aims to create a marketplace for attention by leveraging an identity and reward infrastructure. It provides an omnichain identity and earning solution that integrates across Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Solana, and Cosmos networks.

How Flow is Enhancing Blockchain Scalability and User Experience With Its New Crescendo Upgrade
In this interview, we sat down with Antoni Palazzolo, Marketing Manager at Flow, to explore the developments in blockchain. Antoni shares his journey in the Web3 space and offers a deep dive into Flow’s innovative approach to solving the blockchain trilemma. With the upcoming Crescendo update on the horizon, Antoni provides valuable insights into Flow’s vision for the future of decentralized applications and interoperability in the blockchain ecosystem.
Can you share your journey to Web3? How did you start, and what was your first project?
I started working in tech and innovation about ten years ago with a product studio. We worked with major marketing agencies in Europe, creating products for big brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, LVMH, and others. I also launched some products on Flow. Because Flow is going to have a significant update called Crescendo in the coming months, I was really happy to join the team as a marketing member.
Can you explain how you plan to leverage the Crescendo update to enhance Flow’s position in the blockchain ecosystem?
The Crescendo upgrade is the most important update for Flow. To give some background, the Flow team originally launched CryptoKitties years ago, which was one of the first consumer products built on Ethereum. During a couple of months, we saturated the whole network because there were thousands of users, and the network wasn’t ready.
Our chief architect officer also created the ERC-721 standard, now known as NFT, which is used by major collections like Bored Apes. Because we faced many challenges on Ethereum at that time, we decided to launch our own L1 blockchain to fix the blockchain trilemma and increase scalability.
We created our own programming language called Cadence, which is a resource-oriented language. With Cadence, we built the Flow blockchain network with a unique multi-node architecture that enables us to scale while maintaining network decentralization.
When we launched Flow, Dapper Labs also launched projects like NBA Top Shot and NFL All Day. Ticketmaster is now using the Flow blockchain, and Disney has launched their own collectibles on Flow.
Crescendo is the result of all these developments. We’ve built amazing features at the protocol level, originally written in Cadence and only accessible through Cadence. Now, we’re opening these features to the EVM community by creating an EVM zone on Flow. This means any developer using Solidity can copy-paste their code and deploy it with zero code changes on Flow, instantly increasing the speed of their app and drastically reducing transaction costs.
Developers can also enhance their Solidity smart contracts with Cadence to extend functionality, such as delegating transaction costs to someone other than the user. This potentially allows any EVM app to become faster and free to use for end-users.
You mentioned that you’re addressing the blockchain trilemma with the Flow. Can you explain in detail how Flow is solving this?
We’re solving the blockchain trilemma thanks to our multi-role architecture. The blockchain trilemma is about how to scale, stay decentralized, and keep the network secure. We address this with our unique architecture.
Unlike Ethereum’s monolithic architecture with only one type of node doing everything (data ingestion, consensus, execution, and state storage), we have five types of nodes on Flow, each allocated different tasks:
Collection nodes: bandwidth-optimized and divided into cooperating clusters, managing the transaction pool and collecting well-formed transactions.
Consensus nodes: forming and proposing blocks, validating collection hashes, and finalizing transactions through voting.
Execution nodes: executing transactions, maintaining execution state, and responding to state queries.
Verification nodes: verifying that all data is correct (we only need one, but have several for security).
Access nodes: allowing developers to query information on-chain, acting as an API.
This architecture allows us to scale without compromising security or decentralization.
How do you see the state of interoperability on the blockchain?
Interoperability is a crucial topic. For blockchain to succeed, we need to ensure the whole ecosystem is interoperable. Otherwise, it will segment and fractionalize actors and liquidity. The current issue with rollups and L2s is that they fractionalize different ecosystems and aren’t truly interoperable.
We believe you shouldn’t need to deploy your own L2 to run your application. You should be able to run your application directly on an L1, but to do that, you need an L1 like Flow that is scalable, fast, and has transaction costs adapted to consumers.
That’s why we’re proud to open the EVM zone directly on the Flow network, allowing anyone to build on Flow even with Solidity and improving interoperability across chains.
How do you support developers who want to migrate their projects to a different blockchain platform? Do you have any support programs or resources available for them?
We have an active developer community on GitHub where anyone can collaborate. Developers can also join our Discord, where we have monthly open office hours. They can ask developer relationship managers questions or chat directly with product leads.
In the future, we’re looking to open a comprehensive developer program to improve online collaboration. The idea is to allow developers to find, comment on, and fork smart contracts on Flow or contribute to them. We want to enhance collaborative work between developers and invite them to build important primitives that will be used by other developers in the future.
Do you have any plans for your future roadmap, such as implementing new solutions or services, collaborating with other chains or protocols, or introducing new upgrades beyond Crescendo?
We have several exciting features coming with Crescendo and Cadence 1.0, our new programming language version. Some key features include:
Scripted transactions: enabling multiple actions in one transaction.
Multi-authorization transactions: allowing “all or nothing” transactions with set goals and automatic reversion if not achieved.
Multi-phase transactions: adding pre- and post-conditions for increased security.
Wrapping EVM transactions in Cadence: allowing bundling of multiple EVM transactions within a single Cadence transaction.
How do you envision the integration of AI and machine learning technologies with blockchain? Does Flow Network plan to incorporate them?
This is a tricky question because many people and brands are using AI as a buzzword with blockchain technology. The reality is that blockchain technology currently performs simple operations, and running an AI model on-chain is not technically possible right now for any existing chain or research project.
That said, I believe AI creates some existential risks for the internet and society, but it will also be even more impactful than the Internet itself. Blockchain can be an amazing tool to channel AI innovation.
While we may not be able to run AI models directly on-chain in the near future, blockchain can help increase the value of distributed systems on the internet. AI is currently centralizing much of the internet’s value inside models, and content creators struggle to capture the value of their creations.
I think blockchain’s value lies in how it can help share the value of content on the internet and channel AI innovation to reduce existential risks through smart contracts and automated agreements. In the future, there might be a framework for AI agents built on blockchain technology.

Pichi Finance Launches PCH Token On Gate.io And MEXC, Fueling Ecosystem Growth
Trustless points trading protocol, Pichi Finance announced the launch of its utility token, PCH, which will be listed on cryptocurrency exchanges Gate.io and MEXC, with trading set to begin at 16:30 UTC on August 19th.
The newly introduced token will enable holders to participate in potential revenue-sharing opportunities with the project. Pichi Finance’s primary revenue comes from transaction fees and decentralized finance (DeFi) integrations. This positions the protocol as a leading player in developing points infrastructure for both users and projects.
“By using Pichi Finance, participants can farm their favorite airdrops with self-custodial smart contract wallets, earn points, and then list them on Pichi’s Marketplace without compromising their private keys,” said Wesley Tang, founder of Pichi Finance, to Mpost. “By also owning the token, users gain exposure to a revenue-sharing mechanism within the project, fostering growth for both the project and the points ecosystem,” he added.
Pichi Finance Platform Facilitates Points Trading Ahead Of TGE
Pichi Finance represents a DeFi platform designed for trading points associated with various protocols utilizing ERC-6551 accounts. It enables individuals to trade points from various selected protocols, encompassing EigenLayer and Ether.Fi, as well as HyperLiquid, prior to the TGE. The project facilitates price discovery for tokens prior to and after TGEs, allowing for seamless points trading from the chosen protocols.
Points serve as incentives within protocols for activities such as staking, farming, as well as voting, and they are used to track engagement and loyalty of community members to a platform. Additionally, they can be transformed into a share of the project’s airdrop following a TGE.
Users of Pichi Finance have an option to make a Pichi Wallet and deposit funds which generate points into an ERC-6551 account linked to this wallet. As points accumulate, individuals are enabled to withdraw the tokens that earn points and subsequently sell the wallet, thus sending the generated points to a different owner.
“The PCH token is the backbone of our tech stack. With the launch of our Token Generation Event, Pichi Finance is redefining how points are viewed as an integral component of incentives,” said Wesley Tang in a written statement. “Our token will allow users to deepen their involvement with Pichi through revenue sharing and further boost ecosystem growth by enabling more projects with points to be integrated into Pichi, creating a flywheel effect,” he added.

Covalent Community Approves Governance Proposal To Increase Staking Max Multiplier And Add New Bl...
Modular data infrastructure provider Covalent unveiled that its governance proposal to raise the staking Max Multiplier and include new operators has received unanimous approval. With extra delegation capacity and more operators joining, it intends to achieve the 35% staking target to bolster network strength.
At present, Covalent is encountering a challenge with the fast filling of delegation space for CXT holders. This situation is attributed to the growing number of CXT holders who are keen to stake their tokens and generate yield by securing the protocol.
As the number of CXT holders looking to delegate grows, the available delegation space is approaching its capacity, creating a potential bottleneck that may restrict further participation. Additionally, the process of onboarding new Block Specimen Producers (BSPs) is not progressing quickly enough to meet the rising demand, leading to a mismatch that limits the opportunity for additional delegations.
The proposal offered the expansion of maximum delegation capacity for token holders to 40X, which would cover nearly 35% of the circulating supply, equating to approximately 297 million CXT. This includes onboarding 5 new BSPs, with an average of 300,000 CXT staked per BSP. Additionally, the proposal suggests modifying the emitted rewards to maintain a target annual percentage yield (APY) of 11%. To reach this APY, the reward requirement per day would be 89,657.53 CXT, translating to about 32.5 million CXT emissions annually.
The new plan is designed to address the rising demand for CXT delegation. By raising the Max Multiplier to 40X, it sought to enlarge the available delegation space, guaranteeing the network is capable of accommodating growth avoiding creating bottlenecks or restricting the involvement of CXT holders.
At the same time, onboarding additional BSPs will contribute to the network’s expansion and security. With 20 BSPs currently active, each is anticipated to stake an average of 300,000 CXT. This increase will substantially bolster the network’s capacity and security. By adding more BSPs, Covalent seeks to more evenly distribute the staking load along with creating extra opportunities for CXT holders to delegate their funds effectively.

Beyond High Scores: Web3 Mobile Games Promise True Ownership in a Digital Playground
We must first recognize the enormous size of the mobile gaming industry in order to fully appreciate the potential of Web3 mobile games. The Unite Blockchain has its own vision on the state of Web3 mobile gaming, according to them, number of people who own mobile devices globally is estimated to be 7 billion, much exceeding the number of people who own desktop computers, which is roughly 2 billion. Due in large part to this large user base, mobile applications generate $350 billion in income yearly, of which 85% comes from mobile gaming.
With the mobile gaming market expected to be more than twice as large as that of the PC, it is evident that mobile gaming has become the dominant form of gaming. This change is a reflection of shifting consumer tastes as well as the accessibility of mobile devices, which let consumers play games at any time they choose.
Web3 Gaming: An Emerging Market
Web3 gaming, especially in the mobile sector, is still in its infancy as compared to the established mobile gaming business. Web3 mobile games now have a market capitalization of about $1 billion, which is far less than the $15 billion that Web3 PC games are valued at. This discrepancy indicates a large development potential; estimations show that Web3 mobile games might grow by a factor of 34 to match the mobile-to-PC ratio observed in traditional gaming.
The Benefits of Gaming and Blockchain Combo
Games have a number of intrinsic qualities that make them ideally suited to gain from blockchain integration. A key element of gaming economies for a long time, in-game assets are excellent candidates for tokenization. Games may provide players with actual ownership and transferability by representing these assets as NFTs on a ledger, possibly resulting in the creation of new economic models and income sources.
Games’ interactive elements fit in nicely with the Web3 concept of user ownership and involvement. The “read-write-own” model is completed by Web3, which adds the idea of ownership to the multiple Web2 platforms that enable users to write and view stuff. This idea is organically embodied in games, as players actively participate in the experience and frequently have a sense of ownership over their accomplishments.
Decentralized and Community-Based Governance
The enthusiasm and involvement of gaming communities are characteristics that lend themselves nicely to DAO structures. Through modding, community administration, and even production, many gamer groups already make major contributions to game ecosystems. Game economies may become more resilient and long-lasting if Web3 technology were to codify and reward their efforts.
The notion of emerging diversity in games is also consistent with the interoperability principles of blockchain technology. The possibility of cross-game activities and economies increases with game connectivity, potentially resulting in the creation of complex, player-driven ecosystems that go beyond individual titles.
Alignment of Demographics
There is a clear correlation between the gaming community’s demographics and those linked to the adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Both businesses tend to target young, tech-savvy men as their core market, but it’s crucial to remember that they are actively trying to reach a wider audience.
Fascinatingly, developing countries with growing middle classes have similar levels of popularity for mobile gaming and bitcoin adoption. Both industries are expanding rapidly in nations including Argentina, Nigeria, Vietnam, Turkey, India, and Vietnam. There are other possible explanations for this association, such as:
1. Raising disposable income to enable investments in leisure activities and budgeting;
2. A more open environment for alternative financial systems due to the reduced infrastructure provided by conventional banks;
3. Low-end desktop computer infrastructure combined with high smartphone adoption rates.
These demographic patterns indicate that economies that are already well-suited for the adoption of blockchain technology and mobile gaming might provide a welcoming environment for Web3 mobile games.
The Path Forward for Web3 Gaming
In order for Web3 mobile games to live up to their full potential, platforms, and developers must concentrate on crafting engaging user experiences that meaningfully utilize blockchain technology. This may entail:
Creating novel gaming mechanisms that seamlessly integrate blockchain components without coming off as gimmicky or forced;
Developing cooperative assets and cross-game economies that provide value to games beyond their original releases;
Putting in place transaction and wallet mechanisms that are easy to use and abstract away the intricacies of blockchain interactions;
Promoting vibrant, involved communities that may influence game design and administration;
Proactively addressing regulatory issues to guarantee adherence and foster confidence between authorities and users.
Publishers and creators of well-known games stand to gain from the incorporation of Web3 technology into mobile games. Traditional gaming firms might benefit from new revenue sources and innovative ways to interact with their communities by using blockchain technology. However, this shift will necessitate carefully weighing how to maintain the decentralized features of Web3 while integrating current commercial structures.
The uptake of Web3 mobile gaming will be greatly influenced by education. Many potential consumers could be reluctant to interact with cryptocurrencies or inexperienced with blockchain principles. It will be necessary for platforms and game developers to make investments in user education and to give clear, understandable information about the advantages and disadvantages of Web3 gaming.
The use of Web3 technology may potentially result in more persistent and immersive gaming environments. Players will be able to transfer their achievements and assets between games and platforms via blockchain-based ownership and interoperability, which would provide for a more individualized and social gaming experience.
There could be more far-reaching effects on the digital economy from the growth of Web3 mobile gaming. This habit may spread to other industries as players grow more at ease with possessing and exchanging digital assets through games, which stimulates the adoption of blockchain in online sales, networking sites, and other digital platforms.

MegaVault: Transforming Liquidity and Market Listings
With the update, users won’t need governance clearance to list almost any market on the dYdX Chain. From a long variety of options, users will be able to start new markets, such as cryptocurrency and prediction markets. They must deposit a specific quantity of USDC into the MegaVault, as decided by governance, in order to do this. Since MegaVault will instantly start quoting orders, this new feature will guarantee quick liquidity.
A key element of this update is the MegaVault, which acts as a market maker. Users who deposit money into it and share in the profits it makes provide it with liquidity. Depositors will get a share of protocol income that is decided by governance, as well as a fraction of MegaVault’s profit and loss. It is anticipated that this would lead to a high annual percentage rate.
A program for affiliates is also included in the update. To invite friends to dYdX, users must trade at least $10,000 in order to acquire a unique affiliate link. Referrals receive cheaper prices, and affiliates receive a portion of the trading fees paid to them. Each recommendation has the potential to earn up to $1,500 per month, and contingent upon community governance, there may be more incentives and benefits.
New Features for an Improved User Experience and Security
The addition of permissioned keys is another element of the update. These keys, which provide restricted, targeted access, will improve security and control over users’ wallets.
