Analysis and Audit of Rematic Token Smart Contracts—DeFi

The Rematic Token (RMTX) created the Rematic V1 token using the PinkSale anti-bot token platform. It allowed the staking of RMTX tokens by their community and automatically distributed dividends using EGC (Evergrow coin). Users used to invest in RMTX through BUSD and PancakeSwap and get an EGC coin as a dividend, which they converted to BUSD through PancakeSwap in the BSC chain. The PinkSale anti-bot smart contract is directly integrated with PancakeSwap and generates auto dividend distribution logic.

The generated smart contract had flaws, primarily security and performance issues. A good worth of RMTX tokens was getting leaked because of an error in the PinkSale anti-bot smart contract. The dividend distribution process had a performance bottleneck and used to cause a large amount of loss through gas.

MY ROLE:
• Analyze, test, and identify the leakage and performance bottleneck in the RMTX v1 smart contract.
• Propose an alternate solution for making dividend distribution efficient.
• Help the client build a V2 smart contract through PinkSale.

Global Sports Team Trading Platform with Private Blockchain Integration

http://www.gamechangermarket.com
I created a sports trading platform where users could buy and sell teams from various sports worldwide, including volleyball, basketball, baseball, American football, soccer, handball, rugby, and ice hockey.

The platform allows payment deposits and withdrawals through Stripe, and the user gathers pennants (valued at 1 USD each). After getting pennants, users can buy teams. When a team wins, then, based on a blockchain-based immutable algorithm, the price goes up, which is related to the ratio of pennant volumes for the participating teams in a game. The platform has the ability to onboard leagues and teams through the admin portal, and once a game is onboarded, it's available for users to buy and sell.

The schedule and scores of games of any league are fetched from plug-play-based 3rd-party API, and once the scores are published, the system detects who won and lost, and accordingly, blockchain smart contract moves the prices of the teams. The platform also supports a rewards program with five tiers and a referral program. The project's back end is fully governed by a private blockchain Hyperledger Fabric deployed into the AWS cloud in a scalable way.
