Protocon Announces ‘Contract Model’, an Alternative Technology to Smart Contracts

Seoul, South Korea, April 6, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – Protocon, a web 3.0-based Layer 1 blockchain development project, announced a yellowpaper related to “Contract Model,” an alternative technology to smart contracts, on the March 31st. Smart contract is a technology that was first proposed by Nick Szabo in 1996 and realized in Ethereum and is a representative methodology for developing blockchain applications. Ethereum’s smart contract is a technology that combines virtual machines with blockchain to enable programming for general purposes, and almost all mainnets now adopt this method. It is no exaggeration to say that DeFi and NFT were able to become popular due to smart contracts. However, smart contracts are causing various kinds of accidents, such as the Ethereum Dao hacking, the DeFi hacking, and Solana’s Wormhole hacking incident that took place recently. In particular, the multi-billion-dollar DeFi and NFT markets have recently been managed by smart contracts, which ironically raises concern about the vulnerabilities of smart contracts. Improving the weakness of smart contracts has been a main topic of discussion in the blockchain industry for a long time. The Contract Model ...

Evergrande electric car unit ends proposed Shanghai star board listing

HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - China Evergrande Group's electric car unit will not proceed with its proposed issue of yuan-denominated shares on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, according to a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange. The Hong Kong-listed unit of troubled China Evergrande Group and Haitong Securities have agreed to drop the listing after "due and careful consideration", the statement said, without giving further details. The decision adds more uncertainty to the company's liquidity situation after it said late on Friday (Sept 24) that it "is encountering a serious shortage of funds" and "has suspended paying some of its operating expenses and some suppliers have suspended supplying for projects". The company said it could not guarantee that it can meet its financial obligations as it keeps hunting for strategic investors. In September last year, the company's board proposed to issue no more than 1.6 billion A shares and pledged to use the proceeds to fund new-energy vehicle projects and working-capital replenishment. Officially created when Evergrande Health changed its name to Evergrande NEV in July last year, the company bills it...

Another neighbour, domestic helper Ms Yato, 32, said that she had heard two men quarrelling in the unit on Friday night. According to her, one of the men then shouted: "Stop it! I'm already angry."
