Aave DAO votes for in-house stablecoin

 


On July 31, 99 percent of the Aave community voted to launch its in-house stablecoin, GHO . It should now be certain that the lending platform will soon be launching its decentralized stablecoin, even though the crypto sector has come under enormous pressure from the decay of the Terra ecosystem.


In the wake of the crash, centralized stablecoins such as USD Coin (USDC) and Binance USD (BUSD) gained in importance.


In the DeFi podcast “Bankless”, Aave founder Stani Kulechov highlights the main features and describes the stablecoin as the “first via collateralized stablecoin where you can continue to earn income on your collateral at the same time”.


This is intended to allow GHO to be created decentrally by users and to be secured in order to avoid a scenario such as that of Terra (LUNA).


According to Kulechov, the token linked to the US dollar will be controlled by the Aave community and will also be secured by various cryptocurrencies on the protocol. Distributed interest that arises from the mining of GHO should not go to liquidity providers, but flow directly to the treasury of the Aave DAO.


The explanation of the application in the Aave forum shows exactly how the stablecoin should work in detail . Further requests to vote on entry parameters are expected in the coming week, the head of development at Aave announced on Twitter .


the next steps

In the meantime, developers of the token plan to contact an IT security company to check the smart contract code. Since Aave also supports other blockchains in addition to Ethereum, it is conceivable that GHO will also appear on other smart contract platforms in the future.


In particular, GHO is to be integrated into Layer 2 scaling platforms such as Polygon, Optimism or Arbitrum to enable global use for payments.


Kulechov sees potential for this in emerging markets shaken by inflation, where the domestic currency is bypassed by payments with stablecoins. However, this still happens to a large extent via accounts on centralized crypto exchanges.


In the DeFi space there are already interested parties for GHO. Frax Protocol founder Sam Keizman proposed integrating GHO with decentralized stablecoin exchange Curve Finance. This would provide liquidity at the start and a quick application in the wider DeFi cosmos.


The extent to which investors and DeFi users accept GHO should remain exciting, as decentralized stablecoins are currently being viewed critically. With $6.7 billion in committed capital, Aave is the third largest DeFi platform. So there shouldn't necessarily be a lack of range.

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...
