Israel Govt backed Crypto Startup, Kirobo, Develops Reversible Blockchain Transactions

2020-7-1 20:26

Israeli based blockchain startup, Kirobo, aims at reversing wrong address transactions to eliminate loss of funds through human error. The “Retrievable Transfer” feature is currently in use on Ledger hardware wallets for Bitcoin transactions.

The Israeli startup, launched in 2018, has launched its mainnet version of its Retrievable Transfer feature protecting users from sending their digital assets to wrong addresses. The platform employs a layer two security solution (logic layer) on a blockchain that works in two levels.

First, the recipient of the funds must enter a transaction code to receive the funds. This ensures the open channel between the sender’s and recipient’s address is trusted hence directing the transaction only to the wallet selected. Next, the sender keys in the address as many times until the correct address is provided.

One of the most significant issues affecting crypto adoption is the fear of losing funds over a small error when inputting the long alphanumeric wallet codes. The volume of BTC lost differs from report to report. Several investors have lost funds through malicious attempts or human error when sending digital assets.

Addition to Ledger Hardware Wallet

Kirobo’s security layer will provide privacy enabled, retrievable transactions starting with Bitcoin users on Ledger’s hardware wallet. The platform is secured against a brute force attack and is also non-custodial, meaning users control their funds every step of the way.

Kirobo, supported by the Israeli Innovation Authority, has been testing its reverse transfer feature on the Bitcoin testnet since January. The mainnet feature will be free for any Bitcoin transactions up to $1000 on Ledger. More platforms will be added in the future, said Kirobo CEO, Asaf Naim.

On the firm’s mission, he said:

“Our aim is to make blockchain transactions as simple and as secure as online banking.”

Sidechains vs Plasma vs Sharding

Special thanks to Jinglan Wang for review and feedback One question that often comes up is: how exactly is sharding different from sidechains or Plasma? All three architectures seem to involve a hub-and-spoke architecture with a central “main chain” that serves as the consensus backbone of the system, and a set of “child” chains containing actual user-level transactions.

Bitcoin’s Second Layer Blockchain Tech, the Lightning Network, Not Ready for Mainstream Use Yet

The idea behind the Bitcoin Lightning Network might’ve sounded something like this: we really don’t need to keep a record of every single transaction on the blockchain. Instead, the Lightning Network adds another layer to Bitcoin’s blockchain and enables users to create payment channels between any two parties on that extra layer. These channels can […]

Berkeley Professor Questions Stablecoin Viability in Unflattering Op-Ed

University of Berkeley Professor Barry Eichengreen has taken a swipe at the viability of stablecoins in an op-ed published on Project Syndicate. The critique, entitled “The Stable-Coin Myth,” argues stablecoins are not automatically "viable" just because they are pegged to an asset, though Eichengreen does believe they have an advantage over "conventional cryptocurrencies" such as bitcoin which he says "is highly unstable" and "unattractive as units of account.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.
