[10:00 - 10:25 ] MEV and oracle manipulation in PoS Ethereum [track4] by Torgin Mackinga (@MTorgin)

In PoS Ethereum, block proposers are known ahead of time. This allows for new types of MEV, which leverage the ownership of future block space. Using this, some attacks that were expensive due to arbitrage competition, such as oracle manipulations, become very cheap. There could also be opportunities for incentivizing high-MEV transactions in a future block that you know you will control.

[10:00 - 10:25 ] Not So-Famous Solidity Attack Vectors, which are often missed/overlooked while Auditing! [track2] by Tejaswa Rastogi (@razzor_tweet)

Auditing plays a vital role in defining the security of a project. Auditors try to test and report as many attack vectors as possible. Many different attack vectors exist, covering the grounds of DeFi, Network, Application, and the language itself. However, most of the time, we prioritize logical vectors more than solidity ones. There are some very cool attack vectors and bad coding patterns recently emerged in the wild, which we often overlook while auditing, which can impact a project severely. In this short talk, I'll be talking over these attack patterns and the protection mechanisms against them.

[10:00 - 10:25 ] Implementing account abstraction : adopting self custody to simplify web3 user experience [track3] by Vanshika Srivastava (@ThisisVanshika)

After the FTX collapse, self custody has been on significant rise. Centralised exchanges have been handling all the complex user data like private keys to be owned by these users. Ideally, self custody wallets are playing major role in DeFi dApps where through account abstraction this entire layer can be taken care of.

Users want seamless UX while dApps want to maintain chain agnosticity, by account abstraction implementation, smart contract wallets can be deployed on EOAs. These smart contract wallets have much more potential than just replacing the need of seed phrases and private key. From transaction batching to multi sig features, the overall functionality gets lot improved. Exploring the bright side of account abstraction, what it has to offer to developer community as well builders, self custody can be the most significant requirement for any DEX or dApp.

Hi! I'm Anton, co-Founder of Mover - the web3 primitives debit card. To start with, I'm a builder just like everyone in crypto community. To be more specific, I love building products that create simpler finance for people.

DeFi created numerous financial primitives, some don't even exist outside of blockchains. But why are we still trapped inside our little bubble, with recycled liquidity, and basic on/off-ramps?

In this talk we will discuss what can be done, and how we can expand DeFi beyond today. How can we bring the next 1 billion users, and how can DeFi be finally used in the day to day life (off) chain.

Digital signatures are a very important part of Ethereum, they are used as proof of ownership of an account and can be created to sign messages. Digital signatures are very useful but at the same time there are associated security issues. For instance, a bad actor can prompt users to sign and approve a wrong transaction.

Mobile wallets are critical to the safety of user assets in the Web3 era. However, our past audit and research experiences have revealed that many mobile wallets have weak designs that can result in significant losses to users.

In this talk, we show the common security risks found in mobile wallets, classify them by security level, and provide solutions and enhancements for protection. We will give examples of specific risks such as centralized wallets pretending to be decentralized, leaking mnemonics, and vulnerabilities on application servers. We will also show how malicious wallets pretend to be legitimate mobile apps and their attacking activities.

To improve mobile wallet security, we will explore the use of hardware secure elements, Trustzone, NFC cards, and secure protocols such as Zero Knowledge and MPC. With real-world examples, we will demonstrate the importance of understanding and addressing these security risks to ensure the safety and security of mobile wallet users.

[15:05 - 15:15 ] Can liquid staking solve stake centralization?⚡ [track4] by Mohak Agarwal (@mohakagr)

My talk is about how liquid staking drives the staking wave post-Shanghai, the challenges that need solving before that, and the innovations we can explore today to combat them. Today, roughly 9M of the total 15M ETH staked is done via centralized entities such as major exchanges (30%) and Lido (29%). As withdrawals are enabled, there is an expected surge in retail and institutional staking. It's clear that liquid staking is a winner. But to ensure its success, we need a competitive liquid staking market that incentivizes effective stake diversification across the network via decentralized, transparent, and secure protocols.

Some of those decentralization goals can be achieved via DVT, and some can only be achieved by educating users about the need for such decentralized protocols. I will talk about solutions that can be implemented in both cases.

[16:00 - 16:15 ] Transform Web3 User Experience Using Account Abstraction on Flow Blockchain [track1] by Chirag Narang (@chiragnarang23)

Scaling Web3 adoption has been challenging. The complex user onboarding experience through wallet creation is not appealing to typical Web2 users. The risk of losing assets due to inability to recover a wallet’s private key makes even tech-savvy users feel hesitant about Web3. Account abstraction is a powerful framework that enables much needed usability and flexibility in Web3. In order for billions of users to truly adopt Web3, it is critical to provide a seamless path for mainstream users to interact with Web3 applications with familiar Web2 user experiences and enjoy the true Web3 ownership benefits when users are ready. This talk will explore how Flow's Walletless Onboarding & Hybrid Custody solution built on the account abstraction framework is enabling Web3 mainstream adoption

[16:30 - 16:55 ] Know Your Degens Oracles - how to do compliance the DeFi way 🫡 [track4] by Matt Gurbiel (@mattgurbiel)

Know Your DeFi Oracles is a novel paradigm that will open DeFi doors for institutions & new users. Traditionally dApps analyse addresses after accepting a transaction from them. With KYD Oracles Smart Contract can block a transaction from an address that has interacted with suspicious parties before! How's that possible? By utilising the magic of call-data and signatures verification at the Smart Contract level 🪄 During the presentation, I'll show how it works under the hood, the benefits as well as limitations of such an approach.

[17:00 - 17:25 ] How we can front run crypto exploits before they even happen [track4] by Alexander Seleznev (@pessimistic_io)

This talk discusses how to create a proactive alerting system against crypto exploits. According to the latest studies, almost half of the blockchain exploits may be prevented in real-time. The idea became widespread among security experts in 2022, resulting in many teams using various approaches to deal with this problem. We discuss those approaches, their pros and cons, and whether they can be combined by a DeFi/NFT/DAO protocol to achieve the highest security.

[17:30 - 17:55 ] Why Hybrid Custody Is the Best Way Forward For Crypto [track2] by Chris Tse (@christse)

Post FTX's collapse, crypto investors are rethinking where they store their investments. One of the options that many are exploring is self-custody. However, self-custody wallets in recent years have witnessed many breach which essentially contributed to the rise of centralized exchanges.Not to mention the loss of funds due to lost seed phrases and private keys of self-custody wallet and lack of recoverability. So, what's next? Join me to discuss how hybrid custody could be the solution crypto investors have been waiting for.

[18:00 - 18:25 ] Self-Regulating the Open Metaverse [track3] by Emmett Childs (@e_childsplay)

A discussion on the use of Schelling-point oracles for dispute-resolution in the metaverse, as well as the impact self-regulation will have on creating decentralised metaverse economies.

As property and the formation of economies become more apparent in the metaverse, such as with digital land, virtual property rentals, and prediction markets, we need to start looking at ways to regulate without relying on centralised authority. This talk will focus on the game-theoretic model of the Kleros Court and how it can be used to enable such self-regulation.
