Our LZ receiving libraries have been pinned. Thanks for the heads up @EbisuEthan. Also, the same pinning should be done for every network that the OFT supports, not just Ethereum. Lost aura, gained security, A-OK. Updated our tooling to detect pinning. github.com/Built-by-Sign/lay…

layerzero solosig dependency check in if you haven't hardened your config, you are sitting on an unnecessary dependency on layerzero 3/5 solosig. if it gets compromised, it could instantly drain all the adapters that rely on the default receive library. after the kelp exploit, the vulnerable adapters tallied to $3.13 billion. after some outreach, the number has dropped to $178 million. good progress, but still not enough. there is still a long tail of projects that have ignored this advice. i will make this simple for you. here is a full list with exact calls for how to pin the default library. gist.github.com/banteg/cbf75…

#Bitcoin days are numbered. It seems like just a matter of time before it suffers the same fate as online gambling.

Today, we are open-sourcing a toolkit ported in Go that parses and writes SWIFT MT messages as a part of our ongoing CBDC work. Aside from being used for international wire transfers, the MT format is also core to certain RTGS systems in central banks. github.com/Built-by-Sign/swi…

In light of recent events, we are open-sourcing a local web tool that helps projects easily manage their LayerZero OFT wiring configurations, when the OFT delegate is a Safe multisig. Configurations can be imported or exported as JSONs for convenience. github.com/Built-by-Sign/lay…

Yes, $SIGN also uses LayerZero. Our old setup was 2/2 required DVNs across all supported networks. It has since been bumped to 2/2 required 2/3 optional.

This weekend KelpDao lost $292M. @LayerZero_Core just published their incident report. The protocol worked as designed. The smart contracts were fine. The money left through an RPC poisoning attack on a single-DVN configuration that multiple parties had warned against. A thread on what this teaches us about every attack surface. 🧵

It's open-sourcing time. This week, we are dropping a web tool that helps projects deploy tokens to Hyperliquid spot (progress detection, error handling, etc.), as HL's existing UI omits advanced configuration options only accessible through their API. github.com/Built-by-Sign/hyp…
