Smart Contract Languages: a comparative analysis
Decentralized blockchain platforms support the secure exchange of assets among users without relying on trusted third parties. These exchanges are programmed with smart contracts, computer programs directly executed by blockchain nodes. Multiple smart contract languages are available nowadays to developers, each with its own distinctive features, strengths, and weaknesses. In this paper, we examine the smart contract languages used in six major blockchain platforms: Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, A…

Krafton: "It wasn't OP and people were only occasionally using it, but those who used it were able to use it well, so we decided to nerf the DBS into "never again going to be picked up" territory."

DIFNet: SAR RFI suppression based on domain invariant features
Synthetic aperture radar is a high-resolution two-dimensional imaging radar, however, during the imaging process, SAR is susceptible to intentional and unintentional interference, with radio frequency interference (RFI) being the most common type, leading to a severe degradation in image quality. Although inpainting networks have achieved excellent results, their generalization is unclear, and whether they still work effectively in cross-sensor experiments needs further verification. Through ti…
