Before the Gnosis Pay hack, a random user had already reported essentially the same vulnerability in a GitHub issue:
https://t.co/Sz4mqHZUKJ
It's the exact class of bug that was later responsible for the Gnosis Pay exploit, although it affected a different function.
Most long-running AI agents should be able to catch something like this and attempt to find an exploit path. This probably wouldn't have been possible before AI, which makes me wonder whether we should even be posting smart contract issues publicly on GitHub.
Crazy fact:
India was invited to the 1950 World Cup but famously withdrew entirely because FIFA strictly required all players to wear soccer boots, which the Indian squad, accustomed to playing barefoot, refused to do.

after a lot of serious thinking, we found
this to be the best approach to start with.
updated referral model:
you refer someone with your link โ
they get 50% fees back on every contest.
forever.
you get (Piker points) + 30% of platform fees on every contest they play. forever.
platform keeps the rest.
noticed Polymarket does something similar,
30% fees to the referrer.
but we took it a step further.
we also take care of the person who got referred. every single time. not just the first contest.
everyone wins. except the house.
which was always the point.
After looking at @Privashhgg
I don't think there's any reason to build a privacy-focused L3
Ethereum is now cheap (~$0.10 a transfer) and getting faster (12s โ 6s blocks), so an L2 doesn't need to build privacy itself. Skip the in-house L3, the custom sequencer, and the whole ZK / FHE / TEE / MPC rabbit hole.
A good enough interop protocol should be able to solve this: just let your L2 reach down to L1 and borrow privacy from Railgun, where the anonymity set is already large. Building it yourself is far more worse
- you spend more time and money to fragment your own anonymity set into a smaller pool, and
- you almost always end up with weaker privacy than you started with.
Don't build a worse version of something Ethereum already gives you for cheap. Borrow it.
FIFA World Cup starts June 12.
been heads down rebuilding parts of Piker for fantasy football, different rules, different scoring, different game.
cricket stays live side by side.
but the next big thing is football.
less than 2 weeks. let's go.
SRH vs RR eliminator today,
one team goes home.
build your team on Piker before the first ball is bowled.
dm me if it's your first time,
your first contest is on me

action produces more information
than thinking about action.
so we just built it!
integrated @RelayProtocol directly in the app, users can now bridge from 60+ EVM chains to USDC on Base without leaving Piker.
and we are already live on @base mainnet
