Although the modern internet connects us like never before, one thing that younger generations have never truly experienced is the feeling of genuine privacy. Even older generations have forgotten what life was like before our every thought and action were tracked.

Web3 envisions an open, trustless, permissionless internet where users can interact with each other peer-to-peer without giving up ownership control, privacy or relying on intermediaries.

Adam Gagol is the co-founder of Web3 venture studio Cardinal Cryptography and of Aleph Zero, a Swiss organization offering a scalable privacy-enhancing smart contract infrastructure suitable for enterprise-grade applications. Adam earned a Ph.D. in mathematics for his work on applications of probabilistic methods in combinatorics. In the blockchain space, Adam’s achievements with Cardinal Cryptography include designing Aleph Zero’s consensus protocol, which was peer-reviewed by the Association for Computing Machinery in 2019.

bug in the front end of popular nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea has reportedly led to an exploit allowing users to buy popular NFTs at their previous listing price.

The bug seems to be prevalent with Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) NFT collectibles, where the exploiter managed to buy them at their old listing price and then sold them for the current market price. The affected NFTs include BAYC #9991, BAYC #8924, MAYC #4986.
