Join the POLKAWORLD community and build a web 3.0 together!
ACALA announced last weekSinai upgradeThis is a liquidity protocol that supports all L0, L1, L2, and LX, aiming to aggregate all liquidity in the web3 ecosystem!But as liquidity and DAPP essentially become multi -chain,The security of cross -blockchain is very importantEssence
To this end, ACALA proposed the “Sentinel” mechanism, which is a cross -chain security mechanism that protects the integrity of cross -chain operation by adopting pre -security measures to prevent potential security threats.The first version of the sentinel will enhance the security of cross -chain assets through the configurable rate limit function, that is, controlling the speed of cross -chain transfer of assets to reduce risks.
Check below to understand what SENTINEL and what it will bring to the Polkadot ecology!
The blockchain field is constantly innovating and developing.Over time, blockchain technology and their applications have become more and more complicated.With the increase of this complexity, the blockchain ecosystem is facing more security challenges.Protecting these systems from attacks or other security issues becomes more important.
In the POLKADOT ecosystem, different blockchains (called parallel chain) connect to each other through the Internet network to form a complex network.In such an environment, ensuring the security of each chain is critical to the stability of the entire system.Sentinel is a key solutionIt combines advanced technology and active security strategies to protect the operation between these interconnected blockchains, that is, the safety of cross -chain operations.
What is Sentinel?
Sentinel is an innovative project in the module library (ORML) during the open runtime, which aims to improve the security and functionality of the blockchain network.Under the leadership of the Acala team, Sentinel is conceived as a complete set of comprehensive tools and modulesEssenceThe beginning of this project was to launch a module called or -rara-Limit.This initial version of the product lays the foundation for the establishment of a strong security framework focusing on cross -chain interaction.
The current role of Sentinel is to provide governance capabilities for parallel chain, Enable them to configure and implement detailed security measures.This is achieved by seamless integration of Sentinel and other necessary modules (such as the ORML-XTOKENS module).This integration promotes the controlled XCM transfer and reduce potential security risks by restricting the transmission rate.This ability reflects the direct role of Sentinel in strengthening the security of digital ecosystems.
However, it is not comprehensive to define Sentine as its first feature (such as speed limit).Sentinel’s goals and vision are far awayMore than thatEssenceSentinel plans to introduce more diverse modules and extensions in future versions.These new functions will be carefully designed to cope with the continuous evolving security challenges and adapt to the continuous changes in blockchain technology.SENTINEL’s development will be carried out in stages. Each update will enhance its security function and bring more services to the community
The importance of speed limit
Speed limit is a widely recognized security measure, which plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of the digital platform.By integrating speed limit measures into the module library (ORML) during the open operation, Sentinel solves an important problem in the parallel chain security infrastructure and provides an urgent protective layer for the parallel chain.This speed limit function ensures that legal users can still transfer funds even if there is a security vulnerability, although there may be some delays.
In Sentinel’s design concept,It is important to maintain a balance between safety and usabilityEssenceWe need to achieve both the system is both safe and easy to use.
This is a community -driven project
Sentinel is an open source project, which reflects the power of open source community cooperation.SENTINEL is part of the module library (ORML) when the Substrate is open and can be found on GitHub. Anyone can access, view and contribute the code.We encourage extensive community participation to jointly promote the development of projects.
The ACALA team is committed to making SenTinel’s use of all parallel chains. We hope that the security of the entire Polkadot ecosystem can be strengthened!This is the link of the module: https://github.com/open-web3-stack/open-dime-module-library/
Summarize
Although the Sentinel project is still in the early stage of development, it has shown a positive impact on the future security of the blockchain.Sentinel’s speed limit module is its first feature, which lays the foundation for building a more complex and comprehensive constitative constiture kit.
With the further development of Sentinel, it will continue to work on the interconnection structure of the blockchain network, ensuring that these networks can not only resist external threats, but also exert their extensive potential.
