@poshenchang Hello, I assigned you as the assignees, have fun.

In addition to academic research paper, I would recommend you to interact with on-chain protocol through foundry.

This might help. https://github.com/SunWeb3Sec/DeFiLabs

Hi, TA! As for interacting with flash loan protocols, are there any specific aspects you'd like us to experiment on, or should we provide any sorts of proofs of such interactions (e.g. screenshots)?
