Boostrapping an interoperable ecosystem on polkadot - Alberto Viera

• Polkadot: specialisation and connectivity. Layer zero which is a blockchain for other blockchains (parachains)
  • connected security - projects don’t need to worry about security.
• Moonbeam: Ethereum compatible smart contract parachain on polkadot
• Ethereum composability - e.g. sushi, aave, curve
• Composability powered by XCM and GMP protocols
• EVM with expanded features? EVM smart contracts can access substrate features
  • staking precompile
  • governance unchain
  • ERC20 - precompile: access MVR and GLMR as an ERC20 without wrapping
  • Batch precompile
  • XCM related precompile - liquid staking LIDO : KSM and DOT

Clean Smart Contract Practices

• have meaningful names
• test driven development
• setter and getter should be separated
• error messages: short messages save bytecode size eg: CH_PSCF (ClearingHouse Price Slippage Check Fills)
• storage stored within separate files
• avoid repetitive inputs checks by adding comments

Web3 security in 2022

• 1.3B dollars lost in 2021, 2.2B so far in 2022
• many issues are centralisation issues (super user access)
• auditors are starting to have skin in the game
• SDLC framework: secure development lifecycle
• monitor alerting is the next big thing
• smart contracts should have a pause function
• Wallets should have transaction simulations built in

Building full stack web3 apps - Ivan on Tech

• what is full stack? onchain logic, off chain logic, UI/UX logic
• Moralis workflow: sync historic and real time events from any contract and any chain

Fix the money, fix the world - Juan (MakerDAO SES)

• Money is debt: aligns to your values
