Quantstamp to Sponsor DeFi Talents Mentoring Program

Quantstamp Announcements

Quantstamp is pleased to sponsor the current cohort of DeFi Talents, a program for empowering talent for leadership in the decentralized finance space. Divided into three phases—basics, multi-disciplinary, and concentration—it is aimed towards ambitious, engaged innovators interested in a career path in DeFi, crypto assets and distributed ledger technology.

Over 18 weeks, participants will meet leading experts and industry professionals. In bi-weekly Zoom sessions, participants have a space to exchange knowledge and network with peers. The program admits 200 participants each cohort, with two cohorts each year, ultimately preparing 400 people each year for a career in the DeFi space.

“We are very excited to have gained Quantstamp as a partner for the DeFi Talents program,” says Jong-Chan Chung. “This is a great match between a security leader within DeFi space and a program preparing people to enter the industry.”

Other partners of the DeFi Talents program include Ledger Enterprise Solutions, Blocksize Capital, Bankhaus Scheich (Tradias), Algorand Foundation, and Capgemini Invent.

Quantstamp is pleased to be involved in this mentoring program and facilitating the entry of more talent into DeFi careers.

Engineering Smart Contract Families for Solidity

Decentralized applications (dApps) (e.g., DEXes) increasingly span multiple Ethereum-compatible chains, such as a number of L2s. Although these chains are intended to be compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), subtle differences in opcode implementations can significantly alter smart contract behavior and security. This poses an important question: how can developers efficiently code and manage smart contracts targeting different chains?

Will EIP-7702 Affect Your Code?

The upcoming EVM hardfork, Pectra, amongst other changes, will implement EIP-7702, a proposal introducing a new transaction type that allows Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) to delegate—and later undelegate—their behavior to smart contracts. While this upgrade enhances flexibility, it also disrupts long-standing security assumptions in many deployed contracts. With the risk that malicious actors may exploit these changes once Pectra is enabled, it is crucial to assess whether your codebase might be negatively impacted.

When AI Meets Blockchain: A Guide to Securing the Next Frontier

In recent months, AI agents have attracted significant attention by the promise of assisting users and automating complex processes across diverse applications. The rapid performance improvements of Large Language Models (LLMs) in natural language processing (NLP) tasks drive this trend. However, as the capabilities and reach of these agents expand, so do the risks. The rapid pace of development, combined with the intricacies of integrating LLMs into real-world infrastructures—especially in dynamic fields like blockchain—has created an urgent need to scrutinize them for security, compliance, and operational integrity.
