Decentralized Finance, more commonly known as DeFi, has been a growing sector on the wild frontiers of digital finance throughout 2021 – we’ve covered it ourselves a number of times over the past six months.  It’s a space that excites many adventurous investors, as the yields look incredibly promising. But with multiple high-profile scams and hacks marring the space even as almost $90 billion in Ethereum-based DeFi protocols have been invested, it was probably inevitable that it would increasingly look like the next target for regulatory action. Regulators have already begun to take a tougher approach to the crypto industry

To be entirely realistic, DAMWON KIA is the heavy favorite for the finals. They were dominant throughout the whole tournament, only struggling against a massively improved T1 in the semifinals. EDward Gaming had a somewhat messier route, dropping to the second seed in their group before winning back-to-back five-game series to reach the finals. However, […]

Solidproof is a Defi and smart contract auditing network introduced in mid-2021. This german-based platform aims to provide smart auditing services and bolster trust in the Defi space. 

When Solidproof launched, several other platforms were providing similar auditing services. Some of them have been in the industry longer and have done much more audits. So, what should make developers choose Solidproof over the other competitors?  Here are a few reasons. 

The Solidproof AutoTool Bolsters Efficiency

One of the significant reasons why Defi projects should use Solidproof is the auto tool. Yet to launch in full, this tool will help in streamlining the auditing activities. Standard auditing platforms use manual systems to scan for bugs and vulnerabilities.

Manual audits can help protect the security of the Defi contract and investors. But, they face one problem, lack of accuracy due to human errors.  Solidproof aims to change the course of Defi auditing completely. How? By using the auto tool.

The auto audit tool helps to automate the entire process of smart auditing contracts. It has pre-installed parameters that look into any errors connected to smart contracts. The idea is to enhance the speed of the audit process. More so, the auto tool will help provide more accurate audits. Every Defi project using Solidproof will enjoy fast, accurate, and efficient audits.

Accordingly, the auto tool will provide convenience for developers. Standard Defi auditing often involves very long processes. By using the auto tool, everything is easy for the average developer. The developer can send their smart contract files directly to the auto tool. After sending, the auto tool works on the rest and releases the report.

The Auditors Provides Fixes

A good auditor does not only identify bugs and errors; they give recommendations. That is one of the main tasks of Solidpoof auditors. In their auditing process, the network conducts two rounds of audits. The first round involves checking for flaws and bugs.

The auditor releases a PDF list of all the bugs identified in the project. This list shows the extent of damage the bug or vulnerability can cause.  It goes to the developers of the smart contract to give them a chance to make changes.

The auditor gives the developing team possible ways to fix the problems. These recommendations ensure that the developer can make all the changes before the final report. By using the fixes given, developers will secure the contract entirely.

Solidproof Has Gained User Trust

Solidproof as a Defi auditor gained massive user trust. The most primary purpose of auditing projects is to improve confidence in projects. Today, due to the many security issues, Defi has been losing investor trust.

But, auditing projects can return trust to Defi. First, Solidproof itself has user trust. They have over 60 thousand followers on Twitter and 39 thousand on telegram. These numbers increase every other day, increasing confidence.

Solidproof partners with several top launchpads like Unicrypt and Pathfund to increase the levels of trust. Solidproof's trust levels increase because of their openness with audit reports. They post each report on the medium page for easy access. So, how can trust in Solidproof impact Defi projects?

Once Defi projects accept Solidproof's auditing, they enjoy increased trust levels. The trust increases since investors realize that the project has no flaws. Since Solidproof is a trusted auditor, its report will increase trust in a project. Moreover, the partner launchpads can easily list any project audited by the Solidproof network. 

Good Customer Feedback

Of course, before engaging with any online service provided, it's vital to look at what the customers are saying. What do the customers say about this project?

On their home webpage, Solidproof shows some feedback from their already audited projects. The feedback praises the platform for providing quality and professional services. 

You can get other feedback and reviews from social networks like Twitter. Visit the audited projects and see what they say about the services. The positive customer feedback is good for Solidproof and its clients.

Data Security Regulations

Solidproof is a reliable auditing network owing to its adherence to regulations. Based in Germany, Solidproof is subject to regulatory requirements in Germany and Europe. Among the regulators include, DGSVO which is the agency for Data privacy. Developers and users do not fear exposure to their data. 

Final Word

Solidproof is proving to be a unique Defi contract auditor owing to the features and services it provides. The auto tool is, of course, the most crucial element of this network. It automates the entire audit process. Generally, based on the reasons provided above, Solidproof is a good choice for the Defi project. 

On top of auditing, Solidroof provides KYC scanning services. The idea of KYC scanning involves checking for any money laundering risk surrounding the project. Hence, any project that asks for a KYC scan will undergo thorough scrutiny of the team members. 

Solidproof's commitment to trust and security in Defi makes them the best Defi auditors today.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have been around for some time now. However, following a few big press stories earlier this year, one being digital artist Beeple selling an NFT for $69 million, it's only in recent months that we've seen some big players in the art world, such as Damien Hirst and Sotheby's auction house, join in the NFT party.

Currently, most websites presenting NFTs in the form of visual artworks allow artists to upload their own digital files, GIFs, photos or animations and present them for sale for users to buy with cryptocurrency.  However, with so many artists creating digital artwork, the whole space has become cluttered, and even some of the leading NFT websites such as Nifty Gateway still have thousands of works in their marketplace, many by predominantly unknown artists.

This is where RedKite comes in to cut the noise. With a founding team built heavily of contemporary art professionals - one being renowned street artist and pioneer in the exploration of graffiti letter forms Ben Eine - the RedKite platform is fully curated, with a focus on artists who already have a big following and are widely collected in the physical art world. The team's deep ties to current practicing artists and their ability to bring in valuable contemporary names creates a one stop shop for premium digital art collecting.

“In 2001, [American art dealer and curator] Jeffrey Deitch said the Street Art Movement was the biggest art movement in the world. I agreed with him at the time.  We're now in 2021 and although it blows my mind, I believe digital art is the future. RedKite's set up, where artists get to create physical pieces that relate to the digital works, makes more sense to me.” Ben Eine, street artist

With all of the artwork on the platform being carefully selected by RedKite's in-house curatorial team, who between them have many years experience in running galleries, publishing limited editioned art and shaping artists' careers, a close partnership that helps facilitate this lies with Ourtypes, an international art studio managing some of the most leading street artists and graffiti writers in the world. 

Ourtypes' impressive projects include a mural on the London Eye and the production of one of the largest paintings ever created in partnership with Zippo. The cumulative following of Ourtypes and its artists currently sits at around 3 million and the volume of interest in the group is expected to significantly grow as their artists gain further exposure and continue to create ground-breaking work.

As an active studio that's constantly working on new projects and embracing new technology, Ourtypes like the concept of the NFT space, and many of their artists, including Eine, whose work was once gifted to President Obama by UK Prime Minister David Cameron, have been dipping their toes in the digital medium for some time, but it wasn't until they spoke to RedKite that it the idea resonated.

Juan Topping of Ourtypes said: “We'd been approached by a lot of NFT spaces in the past, with everyone wanting to work with our artists, however, it wasn't until we heard about RedKite's idea of the artists producing physical works to create asset backed NFTs that it all seemed to make sense”.

Cementing this new relationship, Eine and other artists from the Ourtypes family are likely to be the first in line for RedKite's debut NFT drops, paving the way for other leading artists to jump on board.

On top of all this RedKite is looking to utilise some of the best tech in the space as well as bringing innovative solutions to the table. They will also be introducing some of the first asset-backed NFTs into the space. This means that each NFT bought and sold is associated with an original piece of work, such as a painting, that physically exists and will be publicly exhibited. By doing this, not only does a collector get to own part of a piece of art that exists in the real world, but it also means the value of the associated NFTs will not fall below a certain point. This is, due to them representing a fraction of a physical artwork that will hold its value or, more likely, increase in value as time goes on.

Environmental issues are often addressed when talking about NFTs and RedKite takes this seriously, offering carbon-neutral transactions. They aim to make this possible by offsetting their energy usage that is used on the Layer 2 of the Ethereum Network that they run on.

With this new platform, Redkite is looking to continue the development of the growing contemporary art market by bringing art collecting into the current digital climate.

Powered by blockchain technology to break down ownership of high-value pieces, their aim is to ultimately increase accessibility and utility for all.

Alongside the platform, RedKite will also be launching the KITE token, with its main utility deriving from running a Collectors Club. Avid investors can sign up to find out more information about how a public sale will be run via the RedKite website, Twitter and Telegram. Those that want premium NFTs can expect first drops to happen in December, with visual content appearing via instagram.

RedKite will be running a competition in order to excite and strengthen the community. Prices will include an original work of art by Ben Eine, five prints provided by Ourtypes, NFTs and Token Prizes. In order to find out more head over to the RedKite website and subscribe.

On October 5, 2021, the U.S. Federal Circuit reversed a finding of invalidity by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) for patent claims related to an “artificial valve for repairing a damaged heart valve.”  St. Jude Medical LLC (“St. Jude”) filed for an inter partes review (IPR) at the PTAB for U.S. Patent No. 6,821,297, entitled “Artificial Heart Valve, Implantation Instrument and Method Therefor,” owned by Snyders Heart Valve LLC (“Snyders”).

In invalidating the claims, the PTAB interpreted the patent claim limitation of a “frame sized and shaped for insertion between the upstream region and the downstream region.”  The PTAB found that the limitation also covers a frame that fits in place after removal of a damaged heart valve.  The cited prior art allegedly also disclosed a valve insert sized to fit the valve after the damaged native valve was removed.  Therefore, the PTAB found that the prior art anticipated the claims.
