The EVM now has a brain that has been badly missing. Safe Blockspace has a built-in defender for your assets, meet Charmander. Our A.I. model is implemented in rust, and is uniquely part of our ETH rollup client

Charmander, I choose you [to protect my $$]. Yes, the EVM now has a brain, and it is core to safe blockspace. I demo’d this live with the $56M Kyber exploit. Here's some of the how, strengths, and trade-offs we’ve designed around

The story of Bunni is a great example of how DeFi market structure kills innovation, and rewards losers. Hoping you see my write-up on this @boredGenius @0x_marty @0xSzeth and @Psaul26ix. I read their candid and raw post-mortem and I was inspired to put this piece together. Often I talk about how we fail users by enabling theft, but this is a prime story of how we also fail those who bother to innovate, in this case the Bunni team. Additionally, the path to PMF is corrupted. Web2 is more permissionless to build in. I don't raise it as an ideological issue, but instead one that causes the downstream effects we all lose from, i.e. useless tokens, predatory teams, or a lack of utility. Using our testnet I include a demo of how Charmander, our A.I. model within our EVM and execution client stops the Bunni exploit at run-time, as it objectively classifies the transaction as theft with math, and theft is an invalid action on safe blockspace.

The reality is Code is Law in DeFi. Whether you like it, or not. The question is irrelevant. An attacker is going to rob every last user asset from a smart contract, if the smart contract lets them. No judge or court can stop that from happening. Since Code is Law, the Code must need to be magnitudes better. With safe blockspace we believe "Code" means the system design, the chain itself. Here are the facts: - it is social consensus that exploits are theft, and theft is not "accepted" behavior - yet chains are designed to accept theft today - for a decade this industry has tried to prevent exploits at the app-layer and has completely failed - failed to even stop the most fundamental exploit pattern of re-entrancy - the system must evolve, to stop the billions in user assets stolen per year @lessig , father of "Code is Law" correctly saw code as architecture that shapes how people interact with technology and the digital world, much like traditional laws regulate behavior in the physical world. That we have responsibility for what we program, how we design these systems. Design them to exploit users and they will. They have. Are we ok with that? I am not. The system today is completely broken. Safe blockspace is the implementation of a better designed system for DeFi and smart contracts. Program the values we hold into the system, such as theft is an invalid action, while still retaining user rights. This is the real cypherpunk way. This is the future. Read any of my recent articles to understand how we accomplished this. for those wondering what I'm referencing towards, it's from the recent docu described here: - x.com/DeFi_Dad/statu… - x.com/laurashin/stat… - x.com/PatrickAlphaC/… - x.com/functi0nZer0/s… this spiel is not directed at @PatrickAlphaC or any of the posts I've tagged, much respect! I'm just glad to see the convo on this critical subject thanks to this great film. h/t @jamescraig1111 @CodeIsLawFilm , and all involved. My full thoughts in my article below.

Why are re-entrancy exploits Lindy? The answer helped us eliminate malicious re-entrancy from the EVM. Safe Blockspace is a proof system for the app layer that disrupts the Lindy Effect. Here's a $27M Penpie live exploit on Base and Firewall as a showcase:

Ever thought maybe ECSDA recovery isn’t enough txn validation? If you use DeFi, this is the crux of all your fears. See what the Safe Sequencer offers. Topics: - how chains are designed to be exploited - weakness of formal verification - our impl. of dynamic analysis via A.I.

One of the major issues we've seen in this space is security and till today we've not really seen a solution to this. But here's something a friend told me about some days ago and after reading through, I concluded that this might be a step forward to solving this. Okay let's start: Imagine you as a user trying to make a swap onchain through a dex you like. But unknown to you, you've clicked the wrong link and there's an hidden malicious contract with the transaction you are about to make. If the transaction executes, all your assets gets drained automatically and that's the end. But instead of this happening, there's an infrastructure that has been integrated into the blockchain you are about to use. The infra takes every transaction, passes it to a safe sequencer where the transaction is being checked on by an AI model whether it's harmful or not. -> If it's harmful to you, the transaction becomes null and never executed -> If it's not, then it goes through and your transaction executes easily. All these would happen as fast as possible that even you as a user won't notice that there's a check being done on your transactions haha. This is the work of @UseFirewall and how it works. I just started reading on this and I think I have a lot to cover over here So expect to see more of this.😁 ( I had to repost this because I mistakenly deleted it yesterday )
