🫂You take care of your community. We take care of your tech.
💡You give the ideas. We bring it to life.
❓You ask the questions. We give the answers.
Who we are?
Hack-a-Chain, your web3 tech partners.
And WE can be together on this journey.
We’re proud to be part of Kadena’s Pact 4.10 update, introducing native Poseidon Hash Function, kindly named poseidon-hack-a-chain!
The feature constructs the base for the implementation of Opact, an under-development privacy wallet for the Kadena Ecosystem.
Thank you for the
4/ Deepening our privacy and zero-knowledge business line, we started a new partnership with a
@kadena_io
to develop their ZK infrastructure, which is powering the construction of Opact’s V2, a private wallet on top of the Kadena blockchain.
5/ Speaking of that, we spent most part of the year developing Opact Wallet, which is closer than ever to testnet and will soon be released for the
@kadena_io
ecosystem.
The application implements cutting edge privacy and AML concepts, based on
@VitalikButerin
's article
Since
@kadena_io
runs blockchains in parallel, you need to think multi-chain when building a dapp.
If you just copy and paste contracts from Ethereum, you might face problems as Kadena grows.
#kadena
Kadena was designed for real world business to build applications with security.
Its language, Pact, helps to avoid some of the pitfalls that you face when developing on Ethereum and others L1s.
Check out this introduction about Kadena tech:

DePin is a growing narrative, but do you understand why?

When using an application that relies on centralized infrastructure, you must trust not just the service provider, but all the companies in the value chain, such as AWS and hardware manufacturers.

On NEAR, the keys to the account must be burned after the contract has been deployed!

Pact, Kadena's language, is Turing incomplete, which means that it doesn't have all the operations that a normal computer has.
The upside is that it's easier to build secure applications.

📢We just made our first post on Near Forum explaining the project that we've been working on lately and that will soon launch on NEAR!
👂We'd love to hear your feedbacks!
In traditional PoW blockchains, such as
#ethereum
and
#bitcoin
, you have only one blockchain, e.g., a series of blocks, one after the other, minting transactions inside of them.
@kadena_io
is different. It has various blockchains running in parallel and referencing each other.
We're thrilled to announce that we're constructing a NEAR Brazilian Community along with great partners from Brazil, aiming at onboarding more people to this beautiful ecosystem!
The future is $NEAR and Brazil is part of it!

What if we could merge TEEs with ZK to generate an ever more secure environment for privacy applications?
This is our goal at Bazk, a fresh project that we are developing in partnership with

Opact Wallet is the second version of Hack-a-Chain's attempt to create an application that can provide privacy for blockchain users, while still preventing malicious activities such as money laundering and terrorism financing.

It's a pleasure to work with great projects like this!
We’ve been quietly building projects on NEAR for our clients, but sometimes we appear to say hi 🤣
Even though the market conditions aren’t looking the best, we keep sure that the future is $NEAR! Soon, will have some surprises 🎁🚀

So, what do you think, do we have chances?
@nearocean_
is a project full of purpose and 100% committed to bring quality information to NEAR community.
We were very happy to contribute as tech partners to this awesome team and are confident that they will stand out from others!
We wish you lucky and you can count on us!
Stop getting stressed with developers!
Your dev team is supposed to:
- give you peace, not taking it away
- find solutions, not bring problems
- guide the process, not sit and wait
The journey is easier with the right partners.
Make sure to find them.

Do I really need to audit my smart contract?
Many people ask this question and most would say, yes, you must audit before going to the main net.
But there are some details here that are important to address. It's not always that you have to do this.
Let’s check it! 👇
Last week on

Most projects hear that they should be audited before going to mainnet, but is this always true? When is the right time to audit the project? Does it guarantees that my project is safe?

Phala is a great substitute for centralized infrastructure. Instead of servers, there is a network of nodes that can perform off-chain computation.
The nodes can run smart contracts just like Ethereum, but besides traditional transaction functions, they can also receive “Query”
