All-in-one DeFi platform wins first Polkadot Parachain auction



Acala Network (ACA) secured first place in Polkadot's Parachain auctions - which project will secure the next place?

Polkadot's first Parachain auction is over, and the winner is Acala Network (ACA). In total, Acala Network was able to collect 32,515,989 DOT (around 1.3 billion US dollars) from over 81,000 investors with the help of a crowdloan.

Acala Network describes itself as an all-in-one DeFi platform. The protocol, which is compatible with Ethereum, aims to enable DeFi projects to scale.

In addition, a stablecoin for the Polkadot ecosystem and a decentralized exchange (DEX) should be available immediately after the launch on Polkadot.

In the future, however, the project aims to offer a multifunctional DeFi platform on which users can use a range of DeFi services. In addition to token swaps and the generation of a stablecoin, liquid staking and lending should therefore also be possible in the next few months.

Acala Network launches on December 18th on Polkadot

On December 18, the ACA protocol is set to go live with Polkadot block # 8179200. In addition to Acala Network, places two to five will also receive a Parachain seat on Polkadot - the auctions are currently still running .

At the time of going to press, Moonbeam is ranked 2nd, Astar ranked 3rd, Parallel Finance ranked 4th, and Clover Finance ranked 5th.


It is likely that Moonbeam will be the second winner as the project was already one of the leading Parachain projects on Kusama (Polkadots brother network) .

In addition, Moonbeam has already been able to collect significantly more DOT than the competition. In the meantime, the Moonbeam Crowdloan even surpasses that of the Acala Network.

Another reason is that Moonbeam is one of the few Parachain contenders aiming for full compatibility with Ethereum. More precisely, the Parachain project would like to build a bridge to Ethereum. The number one smart contract platform is to be expanded to include on-chain governance, staking and cross-chain functions.

Only recently did the Moonbeam Kusama version, Moonriver, reach new milestones.

With over 5,000,000 transactions processed and 60+ Ethereum integrations, Moonriver has shown how Moonbeam could fare on Polkadot in the coming months.

It is therefore likely that many investors will support Moonbeam, as they already know that the team rolled out a successful protocol on Kusama.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
