Supply chain attacks in crypto exploit trusted dependencies, emerging as a major threat to crypto projects, which now have to stay vigilant on such threats.

These components may include libraries, application programming interfaces (APIs) or tools used in decentralized applications (DApps), exchanges or blockchain systems. By compromising these external dependencies, attackers can insert harmful code or gain unauthorized access to critical systems. For instance, they might alter a widely used open-source library in DeFi platforms to steal private keys or redirect funds after it is implemented. Read more -

Yield for assets is often calculated over at least one-day periods, a problem that blockchain composability could address, according to the asset manager. Franklin Templeton, an investment management company with $1.53 trillion in assets under management, has debuted a feature that offers investors yield down to the second when holding tokenized assets. According to a Tuesday announcement, the “Intraday Yield” feature will allow investors to accrue yield proportional to the time they hold a tokenized security, even if it’s transferred before the day’s end.

The company said it can potentially improve the crypto industry’s current model of calculating yield over a longer period. Read more -
