  • Are you wondering what Flash Loans are in the DeFI and Crypto space? In this video we explain that Flash Loans are instant loans of up to millions of dollars without any collateral down that you can use for whatever purpose you desire. The catch is that you must pay back the loan with a very small interest fee in the same blockchain transaction that you borrowed it from.

    Flash Loan Attacks are a bit dodgy. Though it does serve as a warning to the developers that there is a bug in their system and they should fix it if they want to. If not it means more money for the people doing the flash loans. And as always another great video! Keep up the great work!

      youre just buying the price of a token on another exchange. You keep the difference. Could be 1-3 % usually. Most people use that % for day trading. If you have 50 mil you're doing this with, you made great money. If the money is not paid back, the deal is just terminated.

    Then we might have the first case of Smart Contract Fraud. Indexed Finance got hit with a flash loan attack when the anonymous developer they hired to write the smart contract left a backdoor in it and used it to execute a massive attack on the fund. Currently this hacker is saying that the owners can't do shit about it because they accepted and implemented that backdoored smart contract. Despite not telling the owners that the backdoor was put there intentionally. This is going to court and I am certain it will count as contract fraud.

      If you mean that if you tried to execute a smart contract that takes out a flash loan, gets a 25x leverage margin, puts it all on black, and then you loss out on the bet. Is that what you mean? In that case it is just not possible for something like that to occur, that is because of the fact that flashloans have to be confirmed and denied by the protocols, ie, aave, and if that protocol determines that the transaction you are doing with the flash loan is at all speculative than it wont allow it and will deny you.

    The $45M heist was unethical from the perspective of credibility. When human thoughts choose material gain over credibility, the person loses something that no amount of money can "buy back".
    We cannot buy trust? We cannot buy credibility? And no human can legislate morality? Why?
    If you support the actions of these individuals - no amount of money will buy, what you are missing as a human being. You probably live each moment, thinking, thinking, thinking your life away - wondering what is wrong with the world. Think now... what could be the problem?

    Absolutely ethical. However it is not ethical the keep quiet about it.
    There are many devs that seem to have a big ego and keep quiet when it's their turn to open their bobsandvagene.
    The customers need to know about this.
    And if you do find a bug that allows this, you will usually only get a pittance back for your efforts. Remember the GTA V loading issues that was solved by a single modder? What did he get? Just 10k$ and a pair of articles featuring him.
    An artist can't live on an empty stomach.
    Neither an aspiring engineer
    So the amount stolen would be called a fair check.
    They found it, they even told me the problem? They knew I am an asshole and would give them an imaginary lunch pittance?
    I deserve to lose that money in exchange for being held humble and they get their first paycheck for pentesting the codebase.
    C'est la vie
