A New Way to Govern Open Sourcing a16z Token Delegate Program Crypto protocols do not just come out fully formed but gradually evolve, with control shifting outward as the network scales upward. The ideal result of such transition is an open protocol not controlled by any person or company, running as designed, and remaining open to anyone who wants to use it. Token delegation is one way to do so.
Token delegation refers to the process where a token holder transfers their on-chain governance rights to others. It is a way to expand the participants in the governance process. When done effectively, it’s ultimately a way to seed the development of a higher-quality governing body over the long term.
All About Community Cross-chain Governance and Open-Sourcing Aave UI Aave is committed to creating open-source software that empowers users’ independence. Community members use the power of decentralization to contribute to the ecosystem, growing around any software protocol. Since the community expressed that the protocol should be deployed to networks other than Ethereum, Aave Governance cross-chain bridges were created.
And there’s more news. The codebase of one of the front-end interfaces to the Aave Protocol is being open-sourced. The code will be available to anyone and may be distributed and modified.
Splitting Nodes Bug Impacting Over 50% of Ethereum Clients Leads To Fork The Block reported that a bug affecting older versions of a major Ethereum client is causing nodes to split from the main network, resulting in over 54% of the nodes running with a serious infrastructure bug. This bug could lead to double spending attacks, where cryptocurrency is spent, but the alternative chain overwrites the transaction.
This issue was discovered in an audit of Telos EVM, the version of the Ethereum Virtual Machine running on the Telos blockchain. After Ethereum core developers were informed about the issue, they released a patch to fix it. However, the solution only helps those who have upgraded their nodes.
