Saddle Finance raised $7 M in a Series A round on 2021-11-10.

The article analyzes the security vulnerabilities of the Solidity compiler and their impact on the security of smart contracts, listing several real cases. It provides recommendations for developers and security personnel, including the use of new version compilers and increased unit testing, while emphasizing the importance of recognizing compiler vulnerability risks and necessary measures.

Saddle Finance was once a competitor of Curve, however, due to security incidents, liquidity issues, and market turmoil, its total lock-up position value has significantly declined, and the community eventually proposed a liquidation operation proposal. Most members support this decision, but there are still disputes over the details.

Saddle Finance was once a competitor to Curve, but its development was hindered by security vulnerabilities and market crashes, leading to a total lock-up position of 3.68 million USD. Ultimately, the community proposed liquidating funds, and the project's outlook is bleak, reflecting the fierce competition and uncertainty in the DeFi sector.

The Rise and Fall of Saddle Finance: From DeFi Star Project to Final Liquidation Saddle Finance was once regarded as a strong competitor to Curve in the DeFi space. In 2021, the project raised a total of $11.8 million through two rounds of funding, with investors including several well-known venture capital firms. However, the Saddle community recently proposed to shut down operations and liquidate funds. According to statistics from a certain data platform, the total locked value of Saddle Finance is (TVL), which is only 3.68 million USD, and the market value of its governance token $SDL has fallen to 917,000 USD. How did this once highly regarded project come to this point?

Analysis of Solidity Compiler Vulnerabilities and Countermeasures A compiler is one of the fundamental components of modern computer systems. It is a special type of computer program that is responsible for converting source code written in high-level programming languages, which are easy for humans to understand and write, into instruction code that can be executed by the computer's underlying CPU or bytecode virtual machine. While most developers and security experts typically focus more on the security of application code, the security of the compiler itself is equally important. As a type of computer program, compilers can also have security vulnerabilities, which in certain cases can pose serious security risks. For example, when a browser compiles and parses Javascript front-end code, vulnerabilities in the Javascript parsing engine may allow attackers to exploit these vulnerabilities to achieve remote code execution when users visit malicious web pages, ultimately taking control of the victim's browser.
