“I Spent 1 ETH on Gas and All I Got Was This Infinite Loop” Subtitle: How one innocent-looking Solidity modifier taught me that trust issues begin at the {.The False Sense of SecurityThere I was, minding my own business, writing a harmless smart contract like a responsible developer. Everything was going fine… until I met Trap.sol.modifier gasTrap() { while (true) {} _; } I thought, “Cool name. Probably just a fancy access control check, right?” Wrong. So, so wrong. The Deceptionfunction run(...
“I’ve got gas” — probably not something you’d announce in public. But in the world of blockchains, gas isn’t embarrassing — it’s essential. It’s the mathematical grease that keeps the decentralized engine humming.The term "Sybil" comes from a real-world case in psychology — not computer science.Origin: The Sybil CaseThe term was inspired by the 1973 book "Sybil" by Flora Rheta Schreiber, which told the story of Shirley Ardell Mason, a woman who was claimed to have dissociative identity disord...
Breakdown of Why You’re Broke and Busy Let’s be honest. If you’re spending your whole week deep in admin, operations, and color-coordinating Google Sheets while your bank account sobs softly in the corner — congrats, you don’t run a business. You have a really stressful job where the boss (that’s you) forgets to pay you. “But I’m building something great!” Sure. And my cat is starting a crypto hedge fund. Until money is actually flowing to you and not through you like fiber, you’re not a CEO ...
Solidity – the magical language that lets you write programs to manage millions of dollars while being one semicolon away from total collapse. But fear not! Solidity has three noble tools to protect you from yourself:require: politely declines your nonsense.revert: throws a tantrum at you with elegance.assert: panics when the impossible happens.Let’s dive into some actual code to see these heroes in action – and maybe laugh through the pain.The Error Contract – Where Good Inputs Go to Die 10,...
— A Love Letter to Web3, Lisk, and Tokenized Coffee By INUAA Kwanza, smell that. No, not the mutura from the corner. Not your neighbor’s overcooked cabbage. That other smell. That’s the sweet, spicy, smoky stench of partnership. It's what happens when INUAA links up with the brands we admire—the ones we've been low-key stalking on X, tagging on LinkedIn, and manifesting into our pitch decks like desperate Gen Zs on a vision board. Let’s start with Lisk. Forever supportive. Always showing up. ...
Let’s face it: learning never ends. One minute you're mastering Excel formulas like =IFERROR(), and the next, you're squinting at your screen wondering what a gas fee is and why it’s suddenly more than your electricity bill. We are now in the Continual Learning Era™, where everyone — from Gen Z coders with neon keyboards to retired uncles who forward WhatsApp memes — is being invited to learn something new. And no, it’s not how to bake sourdough again. It’s Web3.Wait, What Even Is Web3?Web3 i...
In the deep, blocky jungles of Ethereum, where gas fees climb like mountain goats and Solidity developers communicate in ABI code, a strange phenomenon has emerged: self-replicating smart contracts, also known as quines. What is a quine? In computer science, it’s a program that prints its own source code. In blockchain land, it's the “Look Ma, I deployed myself!” of the smart contract world. These little devils stare into the void of the Ethereum Virtual Machine and boldly ask:“What if I… dep...
Welcome to the Inuaa Era, where “work” isn’t a 9-to-5 prison sentence but a canvas for collective genius. Gone are the days when you needed permission to build, innovate, or earn. The future belongs to those bold enough to bet on each other. This is Africa’s moonshot moment—and it’s being coded, designed, taught, painted, sung, and engineered by a squad of hungry non-conforming rebels called Inuaa.What Is Inuaa?Inuaa means uplift and the second a for Africa. Inuaa is more than a name. It’s a ...
In Kenya, we understand value. For instance, one ugali in the evening = peace in the household. In crypto, tokenomics is the set of rules that determines a coin’s value, supply, and how it moves around. Think of it like SACCO by-laws, but instead of chairmen, you have code. And instead of angry WhatsApp groups, you have people on X (formerly Twitter) shouting “HODL!” and “To the moon!” Tokenomics answers questions like:How many coins will exist? (Is it like maize during harvest or unga during...
Ah, stablecoins. The dependable, drama-free cousin at the crypto family reunion. While Bitcoin’s over there arguing with Uncle Ethereum about gas fees, stablecoins just want to chill and pretend they’re fiat. And you know what? We love them for it. But before you start making it rain USDT, USDC, or DAI like a crypto DJ, there are a few essential terms you need to understand: ON-RAMPING: The Art of Turning Your Fiat into Crypto Without CryingOn-ramping is basically the crypto version of changi...
