Near protocol gets new stablecoin: Tether expands

 


Hardly any chain is "spared" by the largest stablecoin issuer in the world. We are talking about Tether - with a market capitalization of 67 billion US dollars, the top 3 of all cryptocurrencies. Now the company also offers a NEAR-USDT stablecoin.


With 14 chains, the Tether Network is the most widespread stablecoin of all cryptocurrencies. Now those responsible have been able to win another explosively increasing chain with the Near Protocol. Some readers may not be surprised, as the number of accounts on the blockchain increased from 1 million to almost 20 million within a year. A 2,000% increase.


Commenting on Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino:


“We are excited to launch the USDT on Near. We give the community access to the first, stable value and most trusted stablecoin in the digital token space. The Near ecosystem has seen incredible growth. Tether will be essential in building the chain.”


Tether represented on 14 chains – Near looks promising

It is obvious why Ardoino and his team chose the near protocol due to the promising possibilities. 700 projects are already calling the protocol their new home – meanwhile 300,000 and 400,000 transactions are carried out per day. Merieke Flament, CEO of the Near Foundation, has the following to say:


“Initiatives that bring greater stability to the DeFi ecosystem and promote web 3 adoption are welcome. We are already looking forward to seeing the successes of Tether on Near - it will play an important role in the future of finance and the digital economy."


In addition to the Near Protocol, Tether is already available on Algorand, Avalanche, Ethereum, EOS, Kusama, Liquid Network, Omni, Polygon, Tezos, Tron, Solana, Statemine and the Bitcoin Cash Simple Ledger protocol.


The largest stablecoin issuer has repeatedly fallen into disrepute in the past: Supposedly there were not enough cash reserves available for the number of stablecoins issued. The company reacted: Ardoino only hired BDO Italy, leading accounting firm, in August to audit the finances. Since August, it has been responsible for checking the reserves of the crypto company in monthly reports.


In addition, Tether is accused of being vulnerable to sanctions, such as the recent Tornado Cash incident, due to its centralized corporate structure.

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...
