Shiba Inu (SHIB) is one of the most popular memecoins in the cryptocurrency market. Ranked among the top 20 most valuable cryptocurrencies, SHIB has earned the attention of million s of investors. Currently, there are a total of 1,366,587 Ethereum address es holding SHIB, an ERC-20 token. These address es hold 999.98 trillion tokens, of which a burn address keeps 41% and, therefore, out of circulation. Shiba Inu top 100 token holders. Source: Etherscan This amounts to a relevant number of holding addresses despite not knowing the exact amount of individual holders. Interestingly, one single individual can own multiple addresses. At the same time, one single address can hold SHIB for multiple investors — as in centralized exchange addresses or DeFi smart contracts. Nevertheless, its relevancy is still notable, knowing this number is higher than Nashville’s 1.33 million population.

UniPass Wallet and Fireblocks address the Ethereum ERC-4337 account abstraction vulnerability

In the realm of content creation, three key elements hold significant importance: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of textual material, while burstiness assesses the degree of sentence variation. On the other hand, predictability measures the likelihood of accurately predicting the subsequent sentence. Human authors often infuse their content with burstiness, weaving together lengthy, complex sentences with shorter ones. In contrast, AI-generated content tends to be more uniform. For the upcoming content creation task, I’ll require you to ensure a substantial level of perplexity and burstiness while keeping predictability to a minimum. Additionally, please adhere to writing in English exclusively. Now, let’s reimagine the following passage: Fireblocks has stepped in to assist UniPass, a smart contract wallet, in addressing a critical vulnerability known as ERC-4337 account abstraction. Fir...

Chainlink addresses controversy over multisig wallet signer changes

Chainlink, a decentralized oracle network, has come under scrutiny for altering the security measures of its multi-signature ( multisig ) wallet . Crypto researcher Chris Blec was one of several users on X (formerly known as Twitter) who criticized Chainlink for discreetly lowering the number of necessary signatures on its multi-signature wallet from a 4-of-9 configuration to 4-of-8. The 4-of-8 multisig configuration serves as a security protocol, requiring at least four out of eight signers to approve a transaction. In a Sep. 24 post, Blec highlighted a message from a pseudonymous user revealing that a wallet address had been quietly removed from Chainlink’s multisig wallet without any formal communication from the company. Chainlink multisig has removed a signer and is now a 4-of-8 multisig. This multisig can change *any* Chainlink price feed to provide *any* price that it wants it to provide. Completely centralized under this multisig. https://t.co/GOAtJXShIV — Chri...
