Uniswap launches iOS mobile wallet in select countries

Decentralized exchange Uniswap has launched a mobile wallet that features built-in support for the exchange, according to an April 13 announcement from the company. The app is available for iOS devices in select countries and can be found in Apple’s App Store.

— Uniswap Labs (@Uniswap) April 13, 2023

The Uniswap team complained on March 3 that Apple was blocking the app from its stores. But in this new announcement, the team said that its wallet is “out of Apple jail and now live in most countries.”

Uniswap said the new wallet allows users to swap tokens on the Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism networks. It can also be connected to any Ethereum app through WalletConnect. Users can back up their accounts by either writing down their seed phrase or encrypting their key vaults with a password and storing them in iCloud.

The Uniswap app also allows users to see detailed information about nonfungible tokens (NFTs) stored within it, including their floor prices and collections.

To make Web3 onboarding easier, several wallet developers have offered mobile apps with built-in decentralized finance (DeFi) functions over the past few years. In 2020, Argent integrated MakerDAO and other DeFi protocols with its wallet app, and 1inch provided similar integrations in 2021.

Uniswap is Ethereum’s largest decentralized crypto exchange, with over $3.4 billion of total value locked inside of its smart contracts, according to its own analytics page.

Cointelegraph reached out to the Uniswap team for a list of countries where the app is available but was unable to get a response by the time of publication.

Bitcoin Ordinals community debates fix after inscription validation bug

kingmaker-of-crypto@newsletter.paragraph.com (Kingmaker of crypto ) — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 11:08:20 GMT

Currently, over two-thirds of voters on a Twitter poll said the missed inscriptions should be added at a later date instead of there being a retroactive reshuffling.

Bitcoin Ordinals community debates fix after inscription validation bug

https://mint.cointelegraph.com/?url=https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-ordinals-community-debates-fix-after-inscription-validation-bug&utm_source=cointelegraph&utm_medium=button&utm_campaign=articles

A few solutions are being discussed to fix a code bug found in the Bitcoin (BTC)-native Ordinals protocol that has prevented over 1,200 inscriptions from being validated.

While nearly every member of the Ordinals community agrees that these inscription requests should be reincluded, the community is debating whether they should be added retroactively or not.

The bug came from the indexer function of the protocol only counting inscriptions that were in the first input of a transaction submitted up to and including version 0.5.1 of the protocol.

One prominent Ordinals member known on Twitter as “Leonidas.og” summarized the pros and cons of each solution in an April 10 tweet, coming a few days after the issue was first made public on April 5 by the GitHub user “veryordinally.”

A bug was found in the ordinals protocol that caused ~1,200 inscriptions that should have been valid to not get included. The first of these "orphan" inscriptions happened just before inscription number 420,285. The bug was caused by the ordinals protocol only counting…

The first solution involves selecting a block height to retroactively index the so-called “orphan” inscriptions from inscription number 420,285 onwards, which is roughly where the first orphan inscription was identified.

“This feels like the ‘purist’ solution because it means the ordinals protocol would correctly match the logical ordering on-chain,” Leonidas.og explained, despite acknowledging that the reshuffling “may cause other complications.”

— ordinally (@veryordinally) April 10, 2023

The alternative is to not change inscription numbers that have already been validated and to pick a block height to add these orphan inscriptions in at some time in the future, Leonidas.og explained:

“This would not change any existing inscription numbers so the ~1,200 orphans would not be assigned inscription numbers officially in the protocol. It would be up to the market to value them as ‘misprints’ or not.”

Another Ordinals GitHub community member, “Yilak,” argued in favor of not changing up the order because only a fraction of inscription owners have been impacted.

At the time of writing, 67.5% of 1,266 voters are in favor of not changing the inscription numbers, according to a Twitter poll created by Leonidas.og.

On April 8, the number of Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions surpassed 1 million, according to data from the crypto analytics platform Dune. It came just days after daily new inscriptions hit a record of over 76,300 on April 4.

Ordinals are considered to be digital artifacts on the Bitcoin network, similar to nonfungible tokens. They can compromise of images, PDFs, video or audio formats.

MetaMask third-party provider hacked, exposing email addresses

https://mint.cointelegraph.com/?url=https://cointelegraph.com/news/metamask-third-party-provider-was-hacked-exposing-email-addresses&utm_source=cointelegraph&utm_medium=button&utm_campaign=articles

The email addresses of some MetaMask users may have been exposed to a malicious party due to a recently discovered cybersecurity incident. According to parent company ConsenSys, the incident affected users who submitted a customer support ticket to MetaMask between August 1, 2021 and February 10, 2023.

According to the April 14 blog post, unauthorized actors gained access to a third party’s computer system that was used to process customer service requests, potentially allowing them to view customer support tickets submitted by MetaMask users.

These tickets did not ask for information other than what was necessary to help the user, including an email address to facilitate replies. However, they did include a “free text-field,” which some users may have used to submit personally identifying information. This may have included “economic or financial information, name, surname, date of birth, phone number, and postal address,” the post stated.

ConsenSys emphasized that it does not ask for personally identifying information in customer conversations, but some may have provided it anyway.

The company estimates that the breach may have affected up to 7,000 MetaMask users who submitted customer support tickets.

In response to this incident, hardware wallet provider Keystone warned MetaMask users that some might receive more phishing emails due to the incident since the attacker may use this swiped email database to look for potential victims.

— Keystone | Hardware Wallet (@KeystoneWallet) April 14, 2023

Phishing is a scam that tricks a user into providing sensitive information to an attacker. It is often performed by sending an email to the victim that appears to be from a trusted party or someone the victim knows.

ConsenSys said it had taken steps to eliminate unauthorized access in the future. As a result, tickets submitted after February 10 should be unaffected by the incident. The company also contacted the Data Protection Commission of Ireland and the Information Commissioner’s Office of the United Kingdom to report the breach. In addition, the company’s third-party customer service provider is working with a cybersecurity and forensics team to perform a more detailed investigation of the incident.

MetaMask came under fire from privacy advocates in late 2022 when it revealed that it sometimes logged users’ IP addresses. However, it updated its app in March to give users more control over which providers could obtain this information.

Ethereum researcher says staking reveals IP address sparking privacy concerns

A researcher at the Ethereum Foundation said he had “internally” discovered that staking Ether reveals a user's IP address information.

Ethereum researcher says staking reveals IP address sparking privacy concerns

https://mint.cointelegraph.com/?url=https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-researcher-says-staking-reveals-ip-address-sparking-privacy-concerns&utm_source=cointelegraph&utm_medium=button&utm_campaign=articles

A researcher at the Ethereum Foundation (EF) revealed that the IP addresses of Ether (ETH) stakers are monitored as part of a broader set of metadata, causing the cryptocurrency community to flag Ethereum for privacy concerns.

In an April 12 interview on the crypto podcast Bankless, EF researcher Justin Drake revealed that he learned this information “internally” — presumably at EF.

The metadata Drake referred to is used to track a wide range of things, he explained:

“There’s a lot of metadata, you can look at deposit addresses, you can look at withdrawal addresses, you can look at fee recipients, you can look at IP addresses.”

Drake’s comments appeared to have taken Bankless host Ryan Sean Adams by surprise.

Ethereum = 1984 chain

“So it’s a fairly Sybil resistant dataset of your most involved Ethereum citizens?” Adams asked.

“Exactly,” Drake responded.

The conversation was initiated when Drake predicted that “special airdrops” may become available for solo stakers — but not the industry heavyweights:

“Then you can identify, okay, we know who Kraken is, we know who Coinbase is, and we can just not give them an airdrop if the purpose of the airdrop is to airdrop to specific individuals that are running solo validators.”

The conversation caused a stir on Crypto Twitter.

One Twitter user referred to Ether as the “real surveillance coin,” while another mocked Drake by sarcastically rehashing him: “We can stop censorship by censoring those we don’t like.”

Another described the situation as “central governance to a T.”

To resolve the privacy concerns, one Twitter user suggested Ethereum users take on-chain privacy responsibilities into their own hands by installing a Linux operating system, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and storing cryptoassets on a hardware wallet such as Ledger:

DeFi security setup:- Linux system- VPN 24/7- Ledger (hardware wallet)
Protect yourselves from data mining and scams
Am I missing anything? https://t.co/X2YrGwpbdx
— DeFi Crypto Vaults (@DefiVaults) April 13, 2023

It isn’t the first privacy-related statement to have caused a stir in the crypto community either.

ConsenSys, the team behind Ethereum wallet Metamask began collecting IP addresses in November. The policy amendment was made to ensure that the firm could comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) where necessary.

Cointelegraph contacted Drake and the Ethereum Foundation for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
