I implemented a beacon proxy for @Kwenta_io that has 20M+ in TVL After countless hours of writing and editing you can now learn how to create a beacon proxy and why I chose the beacon pattern specifically

New blog post is up. "The Beacon Proxy Pattern Explained" In this article, @andrewcmonte walks you through - the mental model behind this pattern - when to use it - (and when not to) - how the @OpenZeppelin implementation works - and how he secured over 20M TLV with it.

We always give so much credit to auditors who find large vulnerabilities But we don’t give enough credit to the smart contract engineers that design complex systems without ever having vulnerabilities

The ultimate key to safe protocols isn’t education, good tooling/frameworks, or even lots of audits. It’s based devs. Uniswap V3 and Seaport are some of the most notoriously complex contracts with huge market and haven’t gotten exploited despite only having a couple audits.

One of the most high-impact things you can do as a Solidity developer or auditor is study how the most significant DeFi protocols work in detail. “In detail” means you can point to a random storage variable and explain how and where it is used. You don't merely give a hand-wavy

The best thing about @base is that crypto can finally show that technological progress doesn't have to be connected to a value-extractive ponzi token. As it should be. In the years to come, more will realize that the value of crypto is in networks rather than coins.
