The development of decentralized applications (DApps) introduces a new era of financial innovation, where users can engage in decentralized finance (DeFi) activities such as staking, trading, and yield generation, all without relying on traditional intermediaries. However, as with any emerging technology, DApp ecosystems must contend with ethical considerations related to data privacy and security.
Given the complexity and sensitivity of financial data being processed on blockchain networks like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ERC20), DApp developers must ensure robust protections are in place. This paper will explore the ethical challenges and technical security measures essential for ensuring the integrity and privacy of user interactions on these platforms. In particular, we will focus on the BTC-to-ERC20 staking solution proposed in the project, which combines blockchain security with off-chain verification mechanisms.
