Introducing Glider

Meet Glider, our first mainnet release candidate now live on the Görli testnet.

Security

For Whom the Delegate Calls

The colonyNetwork codebase is large and complex. This article is meant to just provide a quick lay of the land, and to point you, dear hacker, toward where we think the bugs might be. We'll also re-cap some of the bugs that have been discovered so far.

Blockchain

Parameterized Transaction Reviews

Multi-signature transactions are one of the most useful patterns for smart contracts and the dApps that utilize them. But in the ‘vanilla’ implementation of multi-signature design, transaction reviewers (owners), are assigned contract-wide and review all transactions.

Securing Local Storage for dApps

Deploying a decentralized application introduces some interesting security considerations that might not come up in more traditional development.

Writing Robust Smart Contracts in Solidity

Before contract function code executes, it’s a good idea to validate who triggered it and what inputs are given.

Writing Upgradable Contracts in Solidity

Ethereum contracts are immutable — once deployed to the blockchain they cannot be updated, yet the need to change their logic with time is ultimately necessary. This article presents one way to implement upgradeable Ethereum contracts.
