 | What Are Smart Contracts? Unpacking Today's Digital Agreements
In the digital currency realm, smart contracts have enhanced the financial industry through tokenization, decentralized finance (defi) and other agreements in the form of self-executing code. But how exactly do they work? What benefits do they offer? Here's a concise overview of smart contracts and their profound effect on trust and collaboration in our interconnected society.Smart Contract Origins
If you keep up with cryptocurrency news you've likely heard of 'smart contracts.' Smart contracts, in their current form, are self-executing agreements housed on a blockchain.
Fundamentally, the 'smart' in smart contracts stems from automation, while the 'contract' denotes a binding agreement or function that runs automatically. The idea of smart contracts was first posited by American computer scientist Nick Szabo.
Ethereum's Role & Beyond
In the early 1990s, Szabo defined smart contracts as 'a set of promises, specified in digital form, including protocols within which the parties perform on these promises.' Modern smart contracts, however, didn't emerge overnight.
But with the advent of Ethereum, the blockchain's Turing completeness and coding capabilities quickly made it the preferred platform for smart contract protocols. Ethereum's Turing completeness means that, in theory, any computable function can be run on Ethereum, given sufficient processing power and time.
Programming With Solidity
This capability offers vast potential for the kinds of applications and contracts that...

One of the largest non-fungible token (NFT) platforms, Opensea, has declared its decision to withdraw BNB Smart Chain (BSC) support. Opensea revealed that the 'cost to continue supporting BSC outweighs the impact.'Opensea Pivots Away From BNB Smart Chain in Strategy Re-evaluation
On August 18, 2023, Opensea proclaimed that they would cease BSC support after incorporating multiple blockchains over recent years. This announcement coincides with Opensea's strategy to phase out the enforcement of NFT royalties. Concerning BSC support, Opensea stated that as the industry advances, the company needs to 'align resources with the most promising efforts.'
'We've decided the cost to continue supporting BSC outweighs the impact,' Opensea said. 'Starting today, you will no longer be able to create new listings for or make new offers on BSC NFTs. However, you will still be able to view, discover, and transfer BSC NFTs on our site.'
In response to Opensea's X thread publication, some individuals claimed they were unaware of BSC support's existence. Others seized this chance to voice their grievances about the royalty ruling. One individual commented, 'IDK what kind of system you guys are running over there but it's not that expensive to run BSC if you do it right.'
Opensea concluded by asserting their continued optimism regarding a multi-chain future and shared that they recently added support for layer two (L2) blockchains Base and Zora. 'We're confident this decision will help us direct...

[PRESS RELEASE - Sweden, Götaland, July 3rd, 2023]
Onyx Protocol is today announcing an exciting new partnership with MyCointainer and Earn Network. Through the initiative, Earn Network will offer enhanced staking opportunities on BNB Smart Chain and cheaper transaction fees for the XCN token. XCN holders can potentially get up to 40% APY on their tokens when staked.
The partnership with Earn Network will see Onyx launch dedicated decentralized staking pools for XCN on BNB Smart Chain. Each user will have the opportunity to stake their XCN tokens using two formal staking processes, Flexible or Locked.
Flexible Staking describes a staking pool in which users can deposit and withdraw tokens at any time without any restrictions or lock-up periods. It offers flexibility and liquidity, with rewards distributed on a regular basis. Users can choose to compound their earnings by leaving their rewards in the pool or withdrawing them.
Locked staking, also known as fixed-term or time-locked staking, involves staking tokens for a specific lock-up period. Onyx will offer two options here: 15-day and 30-day set staking periods. Users cannot withdraw their staked tokens until the lock-up period expires. In return for committing their tokens for a longer duration, participants typically receive higher staking rewards compared to flexible staking.
All of the ETH fees collected for bridging XCN from ERC20 to BEP20 will be refunded as part of the ongoing gas refund initiative. Onyx recentl...

According to several reports, a bug introduced to the decentralized exchange (dex) protocol Sushiswap's smart contract has resulted in more than $3 million in losses. The blockchain and smart contract security firm Peckshield explained the exploited contract was 'deployed in multiple blockchains.'Dex Platform Sushiswap Suffers From Smart Contract Exploit
Over the weekend, the dex platform Sushiswap saw its RouteProcess02 contract exploited and then distributed across various blockchain networks. Blockchain security firm Certik published an alert after discovering the exploit. The company Peckshield also updated the crypto community via Twitter, noting that Sushiswap's 'RouterProcessor2 contract has an approve-related bug.' It has also been reported that the victim was a well-known crypto advocate called Sifu, who reportedly lost 1,800 ether.
Sifu may not have been the only victim, as Certik's alert mentions that a few USDC users may have been affected. 'We have detected suspicious activity on [0x15d], which is a malicious router,' Certik tweeted. 'Revoke permissions if you have approved this router to spend your tokens. Stay safe. Multiple users who had approved the malicious contract have seen their USDC being transferred to [0x29e]. The wallet has taken about $20,000 in the last two hours,' the company added.

|  | New Binance Smart Chain Proposal Seeks to Lower Transaction Fees: Report
Layer 2 scaling solutions have revolutionized the space with faster and cheaper transactions, as well as increased scalability and improved privacy and security.
In a bid to increase its competitiveness against rival blockchain networks, a proposal has been submitted that aims to adopt a lower transaction fee cost on Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
BSC Proposal
The proposal, submitted on March 28th, highlighted the need for a more adaptive transaction cost distribution on the BSC network with a more flexible transaction fee structure in a bid to ensure efficient block utilization and attract new users. It further stated that such an approach would help sustain the BNB economy while enhancing BSC’s position in the market, especially in the multichain strategy laid down in its roadmap.
According to the proposal, BSC's high gas fees have impeded the network activity and claimed that the utilization of around 15-20% could aggravate if the gas fee is left unchecked.
'BSC transaction costs are currently set at a relatively high fixed rate of 5 gwei, which may not be as appealing to users as the more affordable fees provided by L2 solutions outside of the BSC ecosystem. This will ensure the existing and future BNB Chain L2 solutions remain competitive and keep attractive users in the ecosystem.'
The proposition for the BSC validators is to allow users to choose fees below the current 5 gwei rate, with options to go as low as 3 or 4 gwei, depending on their financial needs. This app...
|  | Hedera Exploit: Attackers Target Smart Contract Service Code
Decentralized proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain Hedera finally confirmed a security breach. In an update, the team behind the platform revealed that attackers managed to exploit the Smart Contract Service code of the protocol's mainnet to transfer Hedera Token Service tokens held by victims' accounts to their own.
It said the root cause of the issue has been identified by the team, and are working on a solution.
Hedera Exploit
Hedera further noted that the attackers targeted those accounts which were used as liquidity pools on multiple decentralized exchanges - including Pangolin, SaucerSwap, and HeliSwap - that utilize Uniswap v2-derived contract code ported over to use the Hedera Token Service to carry out the theft.
Hedera announced shutting down network services and initially cited experiencing 'network irregularities' as a reason. In the latest confirmation thread posted by the platform, it said the mainnet proxies are still turned off to prevent the attacker from being able to steal more tokens, thereby removing user access to the mainnet. The team is currently working on a solution.
'Once the solution is ready, Hedera Council members will sign transactions to approve the deployment of updated code on mainnet to remove this vulnerability, at which point the mainnet proxies will be turned back on, allowing normal activity to resume.'
Network Irregularities
Several decentralized applications running on the network had previously flagged suspicious activity. Hedera-based cro...

Polkadot (DOT), chainlink (LINK), and solana (SOL) all experienced notable gains in the last day, jumping 6% to 7.1% higher. Smart contract coins outside the top ten that saw significant increases include near protocol (NEAR), which rose 11.4%, and fantom (FTM), which jumped 17.5% on Thursday. Parsiq (PRQ) was the largest gainer with a 27.7% increase, while counterparty (XCP) was the biggest smart contract token loser, shedding 9.9% on Thursday.
The value locked in decentralized finance (defi) has also risen and is near the $50 billion range, at approximately $49.48 billion. Lido Protocol leads the defi pack, as its total value locked (TVL) today represents 17.32% of the $49 billion on Thursday.
Lido's TVL increased by 5.79%, and t...
|  | Bunzz Raises $4.5M Seed Round to Expand its Smart Contract Hub for DApp ...
[PRESS RELEASE - Singapore, Singapore, 24th January 2023]
Bunzz a web3 development platform for decentralized applications, has completed a $4.5M seed round. Investors included gjmp, DG Daiwa Ventures, Coincheck, and Ceres. Funding will be used to help build out Bunzz’s Smart Contract Hub, which is already used by more than 8,000 dApp developers. (Product page: https://bunzz.dev/ )
Bunzz has established a strong track record since its launch 11 months ago. Over 8,000 DApp developers have been using the platform, and more than 3,000 DApp projects have been deployed on-chain, making it one of the largest DApp development infrastructures in Asia.
The platform has been recognized by top-tier landmarks as a major infrastructure service in the smart contract development sector. It has been featured on the web3 development infrastructure chaos map published by Coinbase. Additionally, Bunzz was also a finalist in Icetea Lab, Singapore’s largest web3 accelerator program.
Currently, engineers who can handle DApp development are very rare. The reason is that the barrier to developing smart contracts, which are web3-specific programs, is high. In other words, if web2 software engineers could handle contract development, it would be much easier to enter the web3 space.
Bunzz has succeeded in simplifying the previously complex development process by providing frequently used contracts as modules and wrapping the preparation of nodes and the launch of the development environment...
|  | Number of New Ethereum Smart Contracts Falls 60% in 2023
Ethereum prices might be solid, and bulls are looking to drive the coin toward $1,700, but on-chain data points to dropping activity from developers judging from the number of new smart contracts deployed in the first three weeks of January.
Number Of Smart Contracts Deployed On Ethereum Falling
The number of new smart contracts deployed over the past few weeks, since the beginning of 2023, has fallen by more than half. The number of new smart contracts deployed on January 1, 2023, stood at 139,699.
However, a total of 56,370 smart contracts were deployed on Ethereum on January 23, a solid recovery from the 10,079 figure registered on January 14, but still a long way from its January 1 levels.
The contraction over the past three weeks represents a 60% drop from January 1 levels, a concern for analysts. Ordinarily, the number of contracts deployed on a smart contract network points to on-chain activity, and the more dApps there are on any frontier, in DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and more, the higher the probability that this activity could spill into price action since ETH, the native token of Ethereum, is used to settle network fees.
Whenever there is a spike in on-chain activity, the demand for block space is higher, requiring developers to use more ETH for a slot in a block.
Falling contracts deployment coincides with the exemplary performance of ETH prices over the month. ETH prices have rallied from $1,200 on January 1 to $1,659 on January 20. Even though bulls are ...
|  | GMX Generates More Fees than BNB Smart Chain and Bitcoin
GMX, the perpetual trading decentralized exchange (DEX) allowing up to 50X leverage, now generates more trading fees than the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and Bitcoin.
GMX Is The Third Most Active Platform
According to statistics, GMX's 1-day fee on January 19 was around $589,000, while BSC and Bitcoin on-chain fees, over the same period, stood at $524,232 and $328,935, respectively.
Ethereum and Uniswap are the only two major protocols more active than the perpetual trading decentralized exchange, per the above data. During this time, the total Gas fees accrued in Ethereum exceeded $5 million. In Uniswap, it was over $2.1 million, roughly 4x GMX's and BSC's daily fees.
GMX supports trading various coins, including BTC, ETH, and AVAX. As of writing, GMX had $96,802,651,673 in total trading volume with open interest, that is, the number of opened positions, long and short, of $207,102,720. Meanwhile, over 208,000 active traders were using the platform to trade on Arbitrum and Avalanche. GMX launched on Arbitrum and Avalanche, considering their scalability and low fees versus Ethereum.
Arbitrum is Ethereum's layer-2 platform permitting scalable and low-fee trading fees. On the other hand, Avalanche is scalable and boasts the fastest settlement time in crypto. By launching on these two platforms, GMX says it allows users to save on costs by entering and exiting positions with minimal spread and zero price impact.

Smart contract tokens and the decentralized finance economy have been on a tear during the last month, gaining against the U.S. dollar. The market capitalization of the smart contract platform token economy has swelled by $78 billion over the last 30 days, increasing from $243 billion to the current $321 billion. Furthermore, the total value locked in decentralized finance (defi) has risen by $5.39 billion in the same time frame.Smart Contract Tokens Experience Double-Digit Gains, Led by Oneledger, Harmony, and Waves
It's been a rough crypto winter, to say the least, and after numerous insolvencies and bankruptcies within the industry, crypto assets have been hit hard. The latest, and one of the most tragic blowouts last year, took place 67 days ago when FTX was found to be insolvent and the company filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 11, 2022. The crypto economy took a beating during the last two weeks of November and into December, and the lackluster end-of-the-year holiday market action made things worse.
Approximately 30 days ago, on Dec. 18, 2022, the smart contract token economy was worth $243 billion, and a great deal of coins lost considerable value. Ethereum (ETH), for instance, was down 6.1% that week, and cardano (ADA) was down 14.4%.
All ten of the leading smart contract coins that week were down by double digits against the U.S. dollar. But over the last month, the smart contract platform token economy grew by $78 billion, and as of Jan. 17, 2023, the entire...

Decentralized finance (defi) and smart contract platform tokens rallied on Monday morning (ET) and the total value locked in defi jumped above the $40 billion zone for the first time since mid-December 2022. The top smart contract platform coins by market capitalization increased 7.1% on January 9, 2023, and most have seen double-digit gains over the last week.Lido Finance Emerges as Most Dominant Defi Protocol, Surpassing Makerdao in TVL Size
Cryptocurrency markets have been positive at the start of the second week of 2023, as the entire crypto economy has increased 3.6% to $893 billion on Monday around 11:00 a.m. (ET). Smart contract platform tokens have seen a 7.1% rise to $274 billion, which equates to roughly 30.68% of the entire crypto economy. Out of the top five smart contract platform coins, Solana (SOL) saw the biggest gain, rising 24.2% in 24 hours.
Cardano (ADA) followed, with ADA increasing by 11.7% over the last day. Ethereum (ETH) is up 5.1%, BNB 5.5%, and polygon (MATIC) swelled by 6.7% in 24 hours. Additionally, all five of the top smart contract assets have seen double-digit spikes over the last seven days. Again, SOL led the pack, jumping 72.3% higher this past week, and ADA increased by 28.8% during the same time frame. Ethereum (ETH) saw the lowest increase over the last seven days compared to the top competitors, as the cryptocurrency is up 11.5% this week.
Of course, the increase in the price of smart contract platform tokens has led to a swelling of ...

At the end of 2021, a myriad of people thought a handful of smart contract platform tokens, often referred to as 'Ethereum killers,' would flip the second-largest crypto asset in terms of market capitalization in 2022. As 2022 comes to an end, statistics show that none of the so-called 'Ethereum killers' have surpassed the leading smart contract platform token, and a number of these tokens have lost considerable amounts of value during the crypto winter.Ethereum Outperformed Its Competitors in terms of Market Cap, Decentralized Finance Action, and Non-Fungible Token Sales
On Dec. 23, 2021, the top smart contract platform coins held an overall valuation of around $823 billion and at that time, ethereum's (ETH) market capitalization represented 59.42% of the aggregate. Today, on Dec. 30, 2022, the crypto economy's top smart contract platform coins are valued at $239 billion, and ETH's market cap is roughly $144 billion. Data indicates that ETH's market cap equates to 60.25% of the aggregate value of all the top smart contract platform tokens listed today.
Last year, when the smart contract platform coin economy was a lot more valuable, many people thought ETH could get 'flipped' by a bunch of 'Ethereum killers.' Roughly a year ago, the publication Forkast published an editorial called 'The Top Five Ethereum Killers,' and it included tokens like BNB, solana (SOL), cardano (ADA), avalanche (AVAX), and polkadot (DOT). While some of these coins were top ten contenders in Dec. 2021,...

Gold bug and economist Peter Schiff has recommended selling bitcoin today, emphasizing that it is 'the smart move.' Many people disagreed with Schiff's analysis of the price of the cryptocurrency, warning that he is telling investors to sell at the bottom.Peter Schiff's Bitcoin Advice
Gold bug and economist Peter Schiff has a Christmas message for bitcoin investors. Schiff is the founder and current chairman of Schiffgold, a precious metals dealer specializing in gold and silver bullion. He has long been a bitcoin skeptic, regularly bashing the crypto while promoting gold.
He tweeted Sunday:
My Christmas gift to HODLers is this bitcoin chart. As you can see bitcoin is much closer to its ceiling than its floor. The yellow line that was once support is now resistance. Since the upside potential is so low and downside risk so high, the smart move is to sell today.
While some people thanked Schiff for his advice, many criticized the economist for telling people to sell at the bottom and causing panic selling. 'Just one advice for you: write these things when bitcoin is around top (for example around $200K next time) and you just might help someone. Doing this near the bottom doesn't help. You saw this last time,' one responded to Schiff's tweet.
Some people took Schiff's warning as a sign that the bottom is in. A number of people said they just bought more coins since the price of BTC soared after Schiff said to sell in the past. Many people disagreed with Schiff's BTC price ana...
