Decentralized service protocol Automata Network has announced its official launch, backed by a $1 million investment.
- The seed funding round was co-led by various blockchain and decentralized protocol investors, including Genesis Block Ventures, IOSG Ventures and Sam Bankman-Fried's Alameda Research.
- Automata Network provides what it calls "middleware-like" services for decentralized applications (dapps), helping them maintain privacy while allowing frictionless integration onto platforms like Ethereum and Polkadot.
- The protocol harnesses a cryptographic scheme called "oblivious RAM" to conceal data access patterns, while its privacy relayer will offer functionalities such as tamper-proof data sourcing and anonymous voting.
- Automata will attempt to "capture an immediate market demand for privacy-preserving DeFi applications without having to rewrite them," according to IOSG partner Xinshu Dong.

A draft XRPL amendment notes that flash loan attacks are "structurally impossible" on the network because of how its transactions are built, an architectural quirk that has spared the chain from the exploit class that has cost Ethereum DeFi billions.
What to know:
- Recent DeFi exploits on protocols like Thorchain, Drift and KelpDAO have relied on flash loans, a mechanism that does not exist on the XRP Ledger.
- Because XRPL transactions are atomic and cannot include composable intra-transaction calls, flash loan attacks are structurally impossible on the network.
