How Chainsulting Is Securing the DeFi Industry via Smart Contract Auditing

The rise of blockchain technology has opened the curtains for new opportunities, including decentralized finance (DeFi) applications governed by smart contracts. These protocols leverage decentralized networks and cutting-edge tech to bring innovative financial services to the masses.

By eliminating middlemen such as banks, DeFi projects bring lucrative earning opportunities and enable anyone to participate in traditional financial activities. These platforms provide for example, decentralized lending/borrowing access that benefits millions of unbanked folks worldwide.

Moreover, investors seeking huge returns find the DeFi sector very attractive, as it offers high-interest rate savings unmatched by traditional financial institutions. 

Unfortunately, the colossal total volume locked (TVL) in DeFi has brought several security concerns. Users have lost billions of dollars to cybercriminals targeting various platforms, spooking potential investors looking to jump onto the DeFi bandwagon. 

Part of the problem facing the fast-growing DeFi industry is that it lacks top-quality smart contract checks that could prevent cybercriminals from exploiting vulnerabilities on popular protocols.

As a result, cybercriminals have had great success targeting DeFi applications and siphoning billions in crypto funds to their private wallets.

A Look at Recent DeFi Hacks

DeFi gained traction in the summer of 2020, offering revolutionary lending products and huge returns but eliminating any involvement from intermediaries.

Since then, growth in the sector has taken place at lightning speed, with TVL in various protocols now surpassing $90B, per data from DeFiPulse. There are currently over 200 projects utilizing the blockchain and smart contracts to offer users unparalleled financial services.

However, success in this exciting and fast-moving sector has attracted bad actors looking to infiltrate DeFi code and siphon investor funds.

One of the most notable DeFi attacks dubbed the ‘biggest crypto heist‘ ever took place on November 19, 2021. Hackers exploited a loophole in Poly Network and stole $600M in digital assets.

More recently, in December of 2021, malicious actors struck again, targeting the popular DeFi protocol BadgerDAO. In this incident, hackers made off with over $120M in crypto, prompting Chainalysis to investigate the breach along with financial watchdogs from the US and Canada.

Unfortunately, these are not isolated smart contract breaches. As recently reported by CryptoSec, overall losses caused by DeFi exploits have amounted to $1.7 billion, with 75 protocols succumbing to the menacing threat of cybercrime.

Chainsulting Brings Excellent Security Solutions to DeFi

Chainsulting is a professional software development firm based in Germany that provides comprehensive distributed ledger technology (DLT) solutions. Some of their services include blockchain development, smart contract audits, and consulting.

One of the firm’s main goals is to develop tools and provide services to ensure every blockchain project is secure. They are determined to tackle the issue of continuous DeFi exploits that threatens to deter potential investors from putting their hard-earned cash into the blockchain and crypto economy.

So far, the lack of proper smart contract audits has seen multiple DeFi protocols fall victim to devastating hacks that have led to heavy losses. Per a report by blockchain tracing and security firm Ciphertrace, last year was overrun by numerous DeFi attacks that accounted for half of all the hacking incidents in the crypto world.

Chainsulting seeks to root out bugs and other vulnerabilities used by insidious cybercriminals to infiltrate DeFi applications. They have a proven track record of delivering customized security solutions with German technology that empower multiple DeFi and blockchain projects to maintain investor trust and gain a competitive advantage in the sector.

The firm conducts code audits for market-leading blockchains such as Hyperledger, Tezos, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and EOS to mitigate risk and instill trust and transparency into the vibrant crypto community. They also review and secure the smart contracts of DAI, 1Inch, POA Network, Unicrypt, among numerous other top DeFi and crypto projects.

Chainsulting currently secures $100 billion in user funds locked in multiple DeFi protocols. The team behind the leading audit firm relies on their robust technical know-how in the blockchain sector to deliver top-notch smart contract audit solutions tailored to the clients’ evolving business needs.

The blockchain security provider brings the highest security standards to crypto and blockchain platforms, helping to foster growth and transparency within the fast-growing ecosystem.

The Chainsulting Smart Contract Audit Process

Chainsulting boasts over four years of experience in smart contract audit and has delivered reliable security solutions to more than 420 clients.

The company’s audit team composed of Germany’s top blockchain and digital assets experts leverages its domain-specific expertise to conduct smart contract audit tactics that differ from those deployed by other audit firms. 

A code review by Chainsulting includes an Automated Vulnerability Test (HoneyBadger, MythX, Mythril, Oyente, Slither, Solhint) and thorough Manual Security Testing (SWC-Registry, Overflow, etc.). The auditing process also integrates a Gas Optimization and Coding Conventions Check, as well as thorough Function and Logic testing.

The blockchain security startup uses a real-time communication tool to connect with the project dev team and provide suggestions on how to remedy bugs and inefficiencies discovered during the audit process. The team also offers assistance to the token developers in applying the necessary fixes. 

They then deliver a comprehensive report documenting the audit steps and recommendations. Finally, Chainsulting provides a Certificate of Compliance that reassures all DeFi users that the project is fully vetted and safe. 

The leading blockchain auditor has done many notable audits for some of the most prominent crypto projects in existence. The team posts transparent audit results on their social media, GitHub, and Website, confirming that a given project’s code is fully secure and ready to go live. 

Conclusion 

Over the past few months, a spate of high-profile DeFi hacks has led some to refer to the young sector as the ‘Wild West’ of cryptocurrencies.

This year has seen some of the biggest crypto thefts in history. Increasingly sophisticated heists on dozens of top DeFi protocols highlight the need for project backers to adopt higher security standards to protect the integrity of the entire blockchain industry.

Chainsulting has introduced an intuitive smart contract auditing process that integrates elaborate steps to ensure 100% test coverage on all DeFi projects. This radical approach helps these decentralized protocols conquer the investors’ trust, propelling the nascent crypto space to greater heights.

Limoverse’s Vision for Web3: Token Burn, Roadmap, and Leading the Wellness Frontier

By

In an electrifying move in an otherwise quiet crypto market, Limoverse successfully completed its much-anticipated Token Burn Event! 

The buzz surrounding this event is palpable, and for good reason. It all starts with Limoverse’s unwavering commitment to transparency and its thriving community. Limoverse places its community at the core of its mission, emphasizing transparency, empowerment, and token appreciation for its dedicated users and token holders.

But what exactly is a token burn, and why is it generating such excitement? The answers to these questions are pivotal to understanding the magnitude of this event. Token burns are akin to enchantments in the realm of cryptocurrency. When tokens are subjected to a burn, they are permanently removed from circulation. This action not only diminishes the overall token supply but also heightens its scarcity, elevating the value of each remaining token. 

Limoverse is taking token burns to the next level by introducing a pioneering algorithm that links token burns to real-world achievements. For every kilometer run and every calorie burned within the Limoverse app, an equivalent quantity of Limoverse tokens will be incinerated. Yes, you read that correctly! As users stay active and embrace a healthier lifestyle, the token supply shrinks, thereby augmenting the value of Limoverse tokens. This innovative approach ensures that your journey to improved health and fitness also translates into the growth of your investment. A true win-win!

$LIMO Tokens have a total supply of 10 Billion tokens and the burn event saw 86,494,575 LIMO tokens being burnt and taken out of supply.

Limoverse’s commitment extends even further. “We are delighted to declare that all unredeemed rewards from our HealthFi Rewards Pool have also been subjected to a burn. This strategic move firmly underscores our dedication to forging a sustainable token economy, guaranteeing that each Limoverse token serves its utmost purpose” says Sajeev Nair, founder and chairman of Limoverse.

Talking about what the future holds for Limoverse, he further added. “Shortly, we are set to launch our most awaited projects: ModiFi and CreatFi, which will solidify our position as the most comprehensive health and wellness ecosystem in the web3 world. ModiFi is designed to empower users to flourish in all dimensions of wellness, from physical and mental health to spiritual well-being. The core focus lies in uniting top-tier wellness practitioners with advanced health tracking and AI capabilities, enabling users to take charge of their holistic wellness journey like never before.

Through self-paced courses and personal coaching, CreatFi will offer a gateway to personal growth and holistic well-being, cementing Limoverse’s reputation as a leader in the Health and Wellness space.

About Limoverse

With a vision to become the largest digital health economy in the world, Limoverse’s LIMO tokens are currently trading on Poloniex, Bitmart, and Pancakeswap exchanges. As the token expands its presence, Limoverse continues to break new ground in the health and wellness industry, leveraging Web 3 technology to empower individuals and communities alike.

Currently, the Limoverse ecosystem provides users with the option of earning rewards when they walk, jog or run and also when they burn calories thus keeping them motivated and incentivized to stay healthy through the HealthFi program. 

You can download the Limoverse App from both Google Play and App Store. Be sure to visit the official website and join our Twitter, Telegram, and Instagram to stay updated with all the latest news and developments.
