Bitcoin Turns 16
On January 3, 2009, a mysterious figure or group of people hiding under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto launched the Bitcoin mainnet by mining the genesis block. The hash of this block contained the headline of an article in the British newspaper The Times: "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks", which became a symbolic hint at the financial realities of that time.
Two months earlier, on October 31, 2008, a revolutionary document appeared - the Bitcoin white paper, presenting a new decentralized financial system. The first transaction in the Bitcoin network took place on January 12, 2009: Satoshi Nakamoto transferred 10 BTC to cryptographer Hal Finney. It is noteworthy that three days before this, the first version of the Bitcoin 0.1 software was released. The identity of the creator of Bitcoin and his true motives remain one of the most intriguing mysteries of our time, generating interest both in the crypto community and beyond.
Solana Developers Create Quantum-Resistant Storage
Solana developers have created a quantum-resistant vault based on the blockchain that protects users from threats from quantum computers. Solana Winternitz Vault uses a hash signature system that generates new keys with each transaction. Zeus Network chief scientist Dean Little noted that this makes it more difficult to attack the public keys visible when signing transactions.
Winternitz Vault is available as an additional tool and is not yet implemented across the entire network. When a transfer is made, the system creates a Winternitz key pair, calculates the root Merkle hash Keccak256, and forms a "split" vault from two accounts: one for signing and transferring, and one for returning unspent assets. Each transaction creates a new vault, closing the old one, which keeps the main account keys safe.
Arbitrum Community Votes on BoLD Protocol
Arbitrum DAO has launched a vote to upgrade the L2 solutions Arbitrum One and Nova with the integration of the BoLD protocol, aimed at improving network security. The AIP also proposes to add Infura from ConsenSys to the Nova validator whitelist.
BoLD introduces fixed time limits for dispute resolution, protecting the network from delay attacks and eliminating the need for a limited set of validators. This ensures that any "honest party" can resist attackers. The developers noted that the implementation of BoLD will also increase the resistance of Orbit L3 networks to censorship. The vote will end on January 24, and so far 100% of participants have supported the AIP.
Ripple Partners with Chainlink
Ripple has announced a partnership with decentralized oracle network Chainlink to accelerate the integration of its RLUSD stablecoin into the DeFi ecosystem. According to the developers, RLUSD, issued on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum blockchains, is fully compatible with decentralized applications and smart contracts. This feature makes the coin a convenient tool for working in the DeFi sphere. At the time of publication, RLUSD, which appeared in December, ranks 724th in the CoinGecko ranking with a market cap of $72.2 million, which highlights its limited but growing influence in the market.
