Interview: Erik Zhang discusses OneGate and Galaxz

As a founder and core developer of Neo, Erik Zhang is responsible for much of the project's early codebase, architecture, and strategic technical direction. With the launch of the Neo N3 MainNet in August, the blockchain-veteran is now able to allocate some time to work on other new projects within the ecosystem. NNT caught up with Zhang to gather his thoughts on the Neo N3 release, and learn a few more details about his new projects. NNT: Neo N3 is finally out the door. That has to feel really good, considering how long and how hard you've been working on it. What aspects of the release are you most proud of? Erik Zhang: Neo N3 was initially designed to serve large-scale commercial applications and the real economy. To meet the demand for large-scale commercial applications, a blockchain should by all means make three major breakthroughs: First of all, reliability, which is reflected in the irreversibility of transactions in a blockchain system.

El Salvador mines first bitcoins from volcanic energy

El Salvador officially mined its first Bitcoins using a volcano. At the same time, geothermal energy now accounts for about 22% of the country's market. Previously presented as a concept, the project of mining cryptocurrency using volcanic energy turned out to be a surprisingly viable idea. So much so that today the President of Salvador Nayib Bukele shared on Twitter a photo from the monitor showing the number of cryptocurrencies mined in this way. By that time, it was 0.01083 BTC, of which 0.0048 BTC is already awaiting withdrawal. The country not only actively uses geothermal energy personally, but is also one of its largest producers in the world. It is generated by 20 volcanoes located in the region, which scientists have described as "potentially active". Given their number, this use of natural power is hardly surprising, although Bukele's resourcefulness still amazes many miners. In addition, such energy is classified as environmentally friendly, so the "g...

Compound Founder Says $80M Bug Presents ‘Moral Dilemma’ for DeFi Users

While Robert Leshner seemed to briefly threaten users with the IRS, the reality is that he – and the rest of the Compound Labs community – are now relying on the goodwill of users. If a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol accidentally gave you millions of dollars in tokens, are you obligated to give it back? In an interview with CoinDesk following an $80 million exploit, Compound Labs founder Robert Leshner is arguing users should do just that. On Wednesday night, a bug in money market Compound's code led to an erroneous disbursement of COMP tokens intended for long-term liquidity mining rewards. The Compound Twitter handle acknowledged the bug shortly after, saying that no user funds were at risk. The bug only applied to Compound's Comptroller Contract, which is responsible for distributing liquidity mining rewards earned over time. Nearly the entirety of the Comptroller Contract has now been drained, with 280,000 COMP distributed to users incorrectly, according to Leshner. ...
