“Congratulations to the Aave community on achieving this milestone for GHO’s expansion beyond Ethereum mainnet to Arbitrum,” said Aave Labs Founder and CEO Stani Kulechov. “The DAO’s measured approach to making GHO more accessible, aligns perfectly with its commitment to stability and risk management. Integrating with other networks will lower fees, offer faster transactions, and enhance liquidity, making GHO more attractive to users and ushering in a variety of new use cases, including GHO digital payments.”

“We are excited to see that the Aave DAO has chosen Arbitrum as the first platform to launch its GHO stablecoin. This integration is poised to revolutionize accessibility, lower transaction costs, and unlock unprecedented liquidity. As decentralized finance continues to advance, we are looking forward to seeing more transformative new use cases across Arbitrum.” said Nina Rong, Head of Ecosystem Development at The Arbitrum Foundation

“Excited to see that the Aave community has voted to choose the security of Chainlink’s CCIP as its interoperability solution for cross-chain GHO transfers. I have always seen the developers of Aave prioritize security, thanks to their deep understanding of the dynamics around keeping user value secure. CCIP does provide a large improvement on the security of other cross-chain systems, which is what will come to define it as the leading cross-chain infrastructure, just like the security of Chainlink Data Feeds is what led them to become the leading source of data in DeFi,” said Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink.

For secure and cost-effective GHO cross-chain transfers, the Aave DAO chose CCIP, which is compatible with both EVM and non-EVM networks, enhances risk mitigation, security, and user experience through advanced features and mechanisms like rate limits, flexible billing, Programmable Token Transfers, a well-audited codebase, and a first of its kind separateRisk Management Network. Additionally, CCIP’s cross-chain security innovations empower the DAO through important risk management levers such as configurable rate limits and the ability to control GHO bridge logic. Backed by Chainlink’s battle-tested infrastructure, CCIP is widely adopted across  DeFi and capital markets and supports existing Aave deployments, helping to ensure smooth and secure cross-chain expansion for GHO.

GHO was designed to be a secure multi-chain stablecoin architectured for flexibility. Arbitrum has, and every chain with GHO in the future will have, its own GHO version, backed by reserves on Ethereum, for sufficient collateralization. For secure cross-chain transfers between Ethereum and non-Ethereum chains like Arbitrum, GHO uses a lock-and-mint model enabled by CCIP, where tokens are locked on Ethereum while an equivalent amount is minted on the other network, keeping the total supply constant. As additional chains are supported, transfers between non-Ethereum chains will use a burn-and-mint model enabled by CCIP for maximum capital efficiency and fungibility, while still being backed by reserves on Ethereum. This ensures security and flexibility for GHO’s future expansion across multiple blockchains.

In the first half of 2023 alone, an estimated $207M was stolen through flash loan attacks. A flash loan is an uncollateralized loan provided by a smart contract that can be taken out for as short as a single transaction. In these attacks, hackers leverage flash loans to borrow substantial funds and manipulate DeFi protocols into unexpected states that developers may not have anticipated. Flash loan attacks can drain the entire TVL (total value locked) of a DeFi protocol, and their complicated nature combined with DeFi’s composability means these attack vectors often evade conventional audits.

Seeing the dire need to prevent these attacks, Quantstamp collaborated with researchers from the University of Toronto to advance their research into a production-level automated tool. With the tool now fully developed, Quantstamp is unveiling a new service for DeFi clients called Economic Exploit Analysis, where the Quantstamp team uses the tool to detect flash loan attack vulnerabilities in a client’s code. Available for both deployed and undeployed protocols, this innovative service will vastly benefit the entire DeFi ecosystem by reducing the number of flash loan attacks and the amount of funds lost to those hacks.

Quantstamp believes that the Economic Exploit Analysis service will have a lasting impact on the DeFi ecosystem. Coupled with Quantstamp’s core business offering, smart contract audits, services such as Economic Exploit Analysis will foster a safer and more secure environment for both DeFi companies and their users, pushing the industry further toward mainstream adoption.

“DeFi has the potential to change the global financial infrastructure for the better, but its success requires preempting threats like flash loan attacks. We developed this tool to provide DeFi protocols an extra layer of security on top of audits,” said Martin Derka, Head of New Initiatives at Quantstamp. “As DeFi evolves, security measures need to evolve with it. Services like Economic Exploit Analysis give us an edge against hackers.”

While the search process of the tool is automated, some manual guidance and protocol-specific adaptations are required. In addition to checking clients’ contracts, auditors also incorporate contracts from the integrated and other relevant DeFi protocols, which enhances Quantstamp’s ability to discover flash loan attack vectors that involve multiple protocols. While the search tool is non-exhaustive, meaning that attacks may still exist even if the automated tool doesn’t detect them, its practical success rate is remarkably high. Currently available across all EVM-compatible chains, the Economic Exploit Analysis service has the potential to adapt the tool to other blockchains and VMs (virtual machines) suffering from similar attack vectors.

Quantstamp also offers security services including smart contract audits, ZK rollup audits, and more. Quantstamp is blockchain-agnostic, conducting audits for several other blockchains beyond Ethereum including Solana, Flow, Cardano, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Near, Hedera Hashgraph, Tezos, Aptos, and Sui.

DeFi Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “DeFi Technologies“) (NEO: DEFI) (GR: MB9) (OTC: DEFTF), a crypto native technology company that pioneers the convergence of traditional capital markets with the world of decentralized finance (“DeFi“), is excited to announce that its subsidiary Valour Inc. (“Valour“), a leading issuer of exchange traded products (“ETPs“) that provide simplified access to digital assets, has launched its 1Valour Ethereum Physical Staking ETP, set to redefine and simplify the Ethereum investment landscape. This innovative product aims to harness the essence of Ethereum while offering investors access to additional yield income opportunities.

The 1Valour Ethereum Physical Staking ETP (ISIN GB00BRBMZ19) is issued by Valour’s new EU-wide issuance platform for physically stored digital assets Valour Digital Securities Limited (“VDSL“). This Jersey-based securities issuer has garnered approvals from both Swedish and Jersey regulatory entities and is underpinned by digital assets physically safeguarded by licensed custody providers.

Available for trading on the Frankfurter Wertpapierboerse/ XETRA, the new staking ETP is poised to simplify network participation for investors. With a fixed yield, undefined expiry and a 1.49% management fee, investors have the potential to earn passive returns, sidestepping the technical challenges involved with staking, and actively contributing towards the evolving DeFi landscape. Enhanced security measures including slashing insurance and full collateralization mean investors benefit from additional transparency and security measures.

Crypto staking represents a cornerstone in blockchain dynamics. It enables enthusiasts to immerse in the governance and consensus of Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains, earning rewards for their contributions. Contrary to energy-hungry Proof-of-Work systems, PoS networks lean on validators who pledge assets to corroborate and usher new blocks. However, the staking landscape isn’t without its intricacies – validators often grapple with asset lock-ups during bonding periods, as well as enduring unbonding spells prior to rewards being unlocked.

Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of Valour, comments, “The 1Valour Ethereum Physical Staking ETP exemplifies Valour’s commitment to creating innovative and trustworthy investment vehicles. We understand the challenges and complexities of crypto investments. Our mission is to bridge the gap, providing opportunities to enhance returns which are straightforward for our investors. In addition, all ETPs issued under the VDSL umbrella are endowed with the physical delivery option that might benefit investors based in Germany with a tax benefit after a holding period of one year.”

Partnering with elite entities like the VQF registered Copper Markets (Switzerland) AG for custody and industry stalwart Blockdaemon for staking services, Valour guarantees paramount security, ensuring a consistently collateralized, non-custodial staking environment.

Valour Inc. invites progressive investors to partake in this revolutionary venture, unlocking Ethereum’s potential in the most accessible and safeguarded manner.

In addition to their novel digital asset platform, which includes 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Carbon Neutral ETP and Valour Digital Asset Basket 10, Valour offers fully hedged digital asset ETPs with low to zero management fees, with product listings across European exchanges, banks and broker platforms. Valour’s existing product range includes Valour Uniswap (UNI), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Cosmos (ATOM), Binance (BNB), Enjin (ENJ), Bitcoin Carbon Neutral (BTCN) and Valour Digital Asset Basket 10 (VDAB10) ETPs with low management fees. Valour’s flagship products are Bitcoin Zero and Ethereum Zero, the first fully hedged, passive investment products with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as underlyings which are completely fee free.
