Public Key Episode 35 preview: Smart contract simulations and testing may limit DeFi exploits and hacks
A simple mistake in code usually meant that your viral app was down for a few hours, and you may have lost a few loyal users. However, in Web3, the stakes are much higher, as an error in code or a vulnerable smart contract could lead to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of lost cryptocurrency.
In this podcast episode, Ian Andrews (Chief Marketing Officer, Chainalysis) is joined by the co-founders of the all-in-one platform development company, Tenderly. Andrej Benčić (CEO) and Bogdan Habić (CTO) explain how their platform allows developers easier access to web3 and the ability to test, simulate and gain real-time data to produce more efficient and less faulty code for smart contracts.
They describe the difference between web2 and web3 from a developer perspective and how many of the products and features they built were out of their frustrations incurred from over a decade of software development.
Quote of the episode
“Everybody knows in web2, you can deploy stuff, move fast and break things, right? That term doesn’t really translate well into web3. So, you know, we’ve had to adapt, and we had to develop some new types of solutions, so you can move fast without necessarily breaking things.” – Andrej Benčić (CEO and Co-founder, Tenderly)
