For 3) When you use `memory`, Solidity makes a *copy* of the struct from storage for future uses. This makes it efficient for subsequent reads. However, any change into the underlying storage *will not* affect loaded data. See below for deposit function.

When this happens, `rewardWriteoff` is supposed to also increase a lot to reflect the writeoff after the new deposit . However, `rewardWriteoff` is updated during the call to `_claimCoverRewards` which uses the `pool` struct loaded before `accRewardsPerToken` was updated.

As you can see from the image above, `rewardWriteoff` only increases to become 51403402065939829310 - very small compared to `accRewardsPerToken`. Now when the attacker calls `claimRewards`, the contract thinks the attacker has very small writeoff and mints tons of $COVER to him

Oracles vary: Some lack a chain, solely relying on reputation for security. Some build POA chainsโ€”a curious choice ๐Ÿซ  @BandProtocol builds a decentralized chain for security, auditability, and permissionlessness, at the cost of higher coordination and performance overhead.

[ #GEM ] Mining for rarity Spinel started and within minutes the difficulty is skyrocketing very quickly. Which is kinda expected as a lot of GPU miners are participating. For the remaining GEMs, we may need to adjust distribution mechanism to make it more fairly distributed.

2/ As a layer-1 protocol, it's better is to have only the lightweight, publicly-verifiable, deterministic logic that everyone can trust and build with. Bundling more features like Oracles, DEX, Stablecoins, etc to layer-1 itself makes it harder to maintain the security promise.

The fact that this "typo" (not a "bug" according to them!) passed unit tests / integrated tests onto the production on mainnet is beyond my understanding... Guys if we are dealing with hard-earned real money from real people, we need to step our security game up.

3/ That's why at @BandProtocol ' we really believe in cross-chain decentralized oracle. Oracle networks are complementary to layer-1s. Users should have freedom to choose the oracle that suit their need, or even combine them in an innovative way for maximum security / usability.

6/6 All the above is just about spot crypto price data. As the blockchain ecosystem grows, you will need data from other sectors as well. That's why oracle protocols are very much needed to accelerate the growth of the ecosystem while making sure that data is trusted.

For anybody wants to read the code before launch. Head over to ๐Ÿ‘‰ . Code is not yet audited but risk to ape should be minimal as the contract never takes your ETH or NFTs. We will launch with basic browser mining. Mining program coming later.

Sure you heard of parallelized EVM by now but have you ever thought about parallelized oracle networks? ๐Ÿค” The current Band Protocol iteration, while having fairly high throughput, is fundamentally limited by validator coordination on BandChain. What if we bring it offchain?
