⚡ TFC Newsletter: 02/03/2023
OpenSea Adds Sales Delay, Pocket Universe Adds Polygon Support, New Decentralized Social Media App, Web3 Hacks Dashboard, and more!
💡 Intro
🥳 Happy Friday! With crypto and NFTs pumping the last 2 weeks: make sure you keep your assets safe! 2 security related updates for you all to checkout below. Have a good weekend and see you Monday!
Just yesterday: OpenSea added a new feature which flags recently transferred NFTs and prevents them from being sold through wETH offers.
Why This Matters:
Before: traders make an offer on an NFT, it would get stolen, then the stealer would quickly accept a wETH offer, leaving the buyer with an NFT which was stolen.
Now: This 3 hour delay gives buyers a chance to cancel their offers + gives OpenSea a chance at marking it stolen before a user buys it.
OpenSea is relying on a security tool called DelegateCash, which we’ll have a writeup for on Monday.
While Polygon has gained a ton of momentum in the past year: the network is not without its own issues.
And given the number of scams around NFTs on Polygon: users need as much security as the can get 😅.
Today: Pocket Universe, a widely used web3 security app, announced support for Polygon transactions.
