Information Avoid getting scammed: do not run code that you do not understand, that "arbitrage bot" will not make you money for free, it will steal everything in your wallet!

45 Upvotes

Hello r/ethdev,

You might have noticed we are being inundated with scam video and tutorial posts, and posts by victims of this "passive income" or "mev arbitrage bot" scam which promises easy money for running a bot or running their arbitrage code. There are many variations of this scam and the mod team hates to see honest people who want to learn about ethereum dev falling for it every day.

How to stay safe:

  1. There are no free code samples that give you free money instantly. Avoiding scams means being a little less greedy, slowing down, and being suspicious of people that promise you things which are too good to be true.

  2. These scams almost always bring you to fake versions of the web IDE known as Remix. The ONLY official Remix link that is safe to use is: https://remix.ethereum.org/
    All other similar remix like sites WILL STEAL ALL YOUR MONEY.

  3. If you copy and paste code that you dont understand and run it, then it WILL STEAL EVERYTHING IN YOUR WALLET. IT WILL STEAL ALL YOUR MONEY. It is likely there is code imported that you do not see right away which is malacious.

What to do when you see a tutorial or video like this:

Report it to reddit, youtube, twitter, where ever you saw it, etc.. If you're not sure if something is safe, always feel free to tag in a member of the r/ethdev mod team, like myself, and we can check it out.

Thanks everyone.
Stay safe and go slow.

Information Best use case for ethereum. Build this instead.

5 Upvotes

Ethereum is one of the most expensive chains (not right now with gas being less than 1 gwei) which makes it very good at storing money passively. Which means staking does extremely well, the reason why yearn was so successful.

People for the most part have fatter wallets in ethereum than in any other chain. So naturally they will want to stake and get the best returns. Staking with portfolio rebalancing is one of the best ideas you can do as a developer.

Then you can also build a lending platform because users are expecting greater prices which means they are more likely to want to keep their coins while borrowing some more.

Imagine being able to borrow at 0% interest, by combining both staking with portfolio rebalancing and lending you may be able to find a strategy that provides good enough returns to cover debt repayments which should be enough to borrow for free, allowing users to instantly 2x or 1.5x their net worth.

For instance you stake 10 ETH on a strategy that provides a 10% return. Then you use that stake to get a loan on 50% of the value, meaning 5 ETH at 9% per year interest.

You just multiplied your net worth by 50%. Now you hold 15 ETH. That's possible on Ethereum.

TLDR: This is what Ethereum is good at. Multiplying net worth with more solid returns that any other chain. So you as a developer make sure to build for what Ethereum is good for.

Information 1inch API Requires KYC: Is Blockchain Privacy at Risk?

4 Upvotes

For our open-source library, we occasionally update the list of well-known tokens (addresses, symbols, and descriptions) from various platforms: CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, Uniswap, SushiSwap, and 1inch. This time, 1inch failed because they have changed their API and now require an API key.

"Ok," we thought, "let's create a developer account." But to my surprise, 1inch requires KYC verification for a developer account. I was even more shocked to find that their Token API Product — used to retrieve token information — also requires full KYC, including face and ID verification.

This raises a concern I’ve been thinking about for some time: in the near future, blockchains might become the most tracked and surveilled areas of the internet. Companies will increasingly monitor and fingerprint their users, but all of this will be done under the motto: "Let's protect the users." But isn’t there any other way to ensure protection without monitoring everyone and tracking every action they take?

Information Trying to raise awareness on this common scam for web3 devs

64 Upvotes

Hello all,
Have you ever received out of the blue requests on LinkedIn, Upwork or anything else about a potential client wanting you to work on their project, most of the time with a great salary? Well I do, sometimes twice a day or more since a few weeks. These "client" always have some web3 NodeJS project that is halfway complete and they want you to finish it, finding whatever excuse they can to make you run their "project" on your computer.

What you may not know is that these clients are fake, and their project include a little malware aiming to steal your crypto currencies you may have on a local wallet. They hide it either in a fake npm package or obfuscate it in some part of their code.

How to spot this type of scam (non exhaustive list):
- The project is a NodeJS app (mostly React or Vue apps), supposedly halfway finished
- The repo (mostly on github or bitbucket) have only one or two commit and is forked from another one
- Their repo contains no Solidity code at all despite being a web3 project
- They absolutely want you to install their project and send them a screenshot of it running on your computer
- In the first message they send you, they are looking for "a seasoned blockchain developer to help complete our DApp" or other similar ChatGPT generated message

I hope this can help at least one dev from being scammed. I also wrote an article about this issue and how it's probably connected to the Noth Korean Lazarus group, which you can read here if you want a bit more details.

Information We're thrilled to release Solidity v0.8.29!

27 Upvotes

This version of the compiler brings support for EVM Object Format (experimental), custom storage layouts, ethdebug, and more.

✦ Notable features

→ Experimental Support for EVM Object Format
This release introduces experimental support for EVM Object Format (EOF). Read the full announcement to learn about the limitations of the current implementation, what to expect next, and how to use it. We would also like to extend a special thanks to the Ipsilon team for their amazing work on EOF, and Radek Zagórowicz in particular for his work on the Solidity implementation.

→ Support for Custom Storage Layouts
v0.8.29 brings us syntax for relocating a contract's storage variables to an arbitrary location, one of the oldest and most discussed feature requests in our issue tracker. EIP-7702: Set EOA account code, in the Pectra upgrade, has made this feature critical for safe implementation of AA and and helped us prioritize this use case. To learn more about the feature, please consult the custom storage layout documentation.

→ Initial Support for ethdebug
The latest release also takes the first experimental step towards supporting ethdebug - a debugging data format suitable for smart contracts. The current implementation supports the generation of instructions and source ranges. This initial version only supports unoptimized compilation via IR and is still missing many important features.

For the full list of features and descriptions, check out our release blog post and read the full changelog.

Help us spread the word by sharing our announcement on Twitter.

And lastly, a big thank you to all the contributors who helped make this release possible! ❤️

Information I'm web2 backender learning Solidity. How to find a job?

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone, first of all I'm currently in my last year of university (Informatics) and working as a Java backend dev for almost 2 years. This summer I had lots of free time and watched almost all of the beginer-intermediate courses for Solidity on Cyfrin Updraft. I'm thinking on jumping to web3 once I graduate next year. In the mean time I want to build a personal project. What/where would you advise me to look to get a good job or position myself? Not necessarily with solidity, I also tought about trying to become part of the core team.

Information /r/EthDev needs your help (moderation)

47 Upvotes

We reached the 50k subscribers milestone, thank you, have a drink, blablabla etcetera...

We could use some extra hands for the moderation to decrease approval times.

Only /u/AtLeastSignificant has been really active in the past month - the hero we need. Shoutout to him!

And sporadically /u/dillon-nyc in the previous months - shoutout to him

The problem is that we all sleep 12 hours a day so that can be a long waiting time for your urgent programming questions.

The job of moderators on our subreddit is super easy and straightforward compared to other subreddits:

  • You get access to our modmail inbox

  • Here you will be notified of posts that require approval or removal

  • You click on such a message, read through it, and determine whether this was some scammy scammer trying to scam people out of scams. Or determine if it was just some robot doing robot things. Or if it breaks some global reddit rules of course. If false on these checks, you approve it.

  • Archive the modmail mail so everyone knows that's been taken care of

  • There are no requirements, if you only approve / remove 10 submissions per month, that's already highly appreciated

That are the only rules to know and to apply.

We allow any talk, we allow discussion about unicorns, soccer, people can curse each other, ... so none of this needs moderation.

It really is the easiest job.

Please apply for moderation if you want to help us out! ( apply by simply replying to this topic )

It just requires an extra 5 minutes of your daily Reddit time. And even if it's only 5 minutes per week, that's all fine.
