This week Collin and Lucian discuss two pertinent security concerns that hit Ethereum this week. Synthetix was hit by a bug in an oracle on the value to the South Korean Won that netted one trader a billion dollars in an hour (trades were later rolled back). Edgeware's Lockdrop smart contract had an error that put the $290 million in Ether locked in at risk.
Collin and Lucian discuss the Ethereum gateway announced by Cloudflare this week. While it works in a similar way to Infura, this shows how the large developer community is attracting established players. Oxfam rolled out a pilot program that give South Pacific Islanders access to Dai tokens in short notice in case of a natural disaster. Lastly we talk about a EthSites which encodes data directly into the Ethereum blockchain for censorship resistance.
