NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Cartesi (CTSI), an app-specific rollup protocol with a virtual machine that runs Linux distributions, has its first DApp launched on the Ethereum Mainnet: Honeypot; a DApp designed to allow developers to challenge the security of Cartesi Rollups. As the Honeypot DApp is tested and fortified, developers and users will have increased confidence in the security of Cartesi’s tech to launch and use new DApps that hold real assets – marking the beginning of a new era for the Cartesi ecosystem.

Key Points: 
  • “We want to welcome all developers to test Cartesi’s Rollup infrastructure – but in a fun gamified challenge.
  • In the backend code of the Honeypot DApp there is an algorithm that only allows the Cartesi Foundation’s depositor account to withdraw funds.
  • If you’re up for the Honeypot challenge , take your shot at hacking it and see if you can win 35,000 CTSI (and counting).
  • Whether you’re a web3 builder or simply curious about the first DApp built with Cartesi Rollups, follow the progress and engage with the community through social channels, including Discord and Reddit .

Australian ant honey inhibits tough pathogens, new research shows

Retrieved on: 
Mercredi, juillet 26, 2023

While most honey comes from honey bees (Apis mellifera), other insects such as stingless bees, wasps and even ants can produce honey-like products from plant nectar.

Key Points: 
  • While most honey comes from honey bees (Apis mellifera), other insects such as stingless bees, wasps and even ants can produce honey-like products from plant nectar.
  • One of these insects is the honeypot ant Camponotus inflatus, found throughout the central desert region of Australia.

Pots of gold

    • Within these colonies, certain worker ants known as “repletes” serve as living food stores.
    • The repletes are fed by other members of the colony, who forage for nectar and honeydew in the environment.
    • The repletes cough up some honey in response, and the other workers then distribute it throughout the colony.

Honeypot ants in First Nations culture

    • Danny Ulrich of the Tjupan language group, operator of Goldfields Honey Ant Tours in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, says
      For our people, honey ants are more than just a food source.
    • Digging for them is a very enjoyable way of life.
    • For our people, honey ants are more than just a food source.

Not your usual honey activity

    • We compared this to two well-studied bee honeys with anti-microbial properties: manuka honey from New Zealand, and jarrah honey from Western Australia.
    • However, honeypot ant honey retained most of its activity even after we removed all the hydrogen peroxide.
    • These can be destroyed by heat, and when we heated the honeypot ant honey to 90℃ for 10 minutes it lost most of its antimicrobial activity.

Evolution of antimicrobial activity in the insect world

    • Intriguingly, we found honeypot ant honey was particularly effective against some pathogens we consider to be quite “tough”.
    • We suggest the evolutionary pressure imposed by these soil microorganisms has resulted in the potent, selective antimicrobial activity of honeypot ant honey.

Science catches up with Indigenous knowledge

    • Due to the cultural significance of the ants, and challenges with rearing them at a commercial scale, it is not feasible to domesticate honeypot ants for honey production.
    • However, honeypot ant honey may provide valuable insights for the development of useful new antimicrobial peptides.
    • Kenya Fernandes conducts research on honey bees and medicinal honey supported by the NSW Government under the Bushfire Industry Recovery Package.
