You run `cargo build` on a large Rust codebase, something like compiling a blockchain node from source and saw your system freeze or face an out-of-memory error. I faced this issue when building Mina Protocol’s rust node on my 16GB machine and got me thinking what is happening in my machine during Rust compilation and can it be optimized for a successful build? Frozen machine…reaction on point This happens due to compiled languages like Rust can ask for substantial system resources during the build proce...

I have been reading about rollup specs that help Ethereum scale. Always being curious about how do they execute transactions, and how does the finalization work with them, what about fees and all. Rollups such as Optimism and Arbitrum implement their own node service which includes some stuff like a sequencer, execution engine to execute transactions, and more. Here I am just going to give a high level study about workings of execution engines in rollups that I have understood after reading Optimism roll...

Last weekend I worked on a problem statement to conduct a simulation of sudden price change on the AAVE v3 liquidity protocol and see how it affects the users in the market. This blog will take you through the project, understand some important concepts about blockchain core and defi, then show how you can create your own simulation scenarios in a blockchain state. First let’s understand some jargons. (I am not marketing anyone here) What is AAVE? You can find in the AAVE docs that it is a decentralized ...
