According to disclosures from the GoPlus Chinese community, the prediction market platform Polymarket was hacked due to a design flaw in the synchronization mechanism between off-chain and on-chain trading results in its order system.The attacker manipulated the nonce, causing on-chain matched trades to be canceled or invalidated before execution, while off-chain records remained valid, leading to API false reports that affected trading behaviors of bots like Negrisk, resulting in user losses. The analysis of the attack process is as follows:The attacker submitted/matched large reverse trades with the market-making bot on the Polymarket off-chain orderbook.The attacker constructed transactions with forged/repeated nonces or utilized on-chain nonce competition, causing the on-chain transactions to inevitably revert.The Polymarket API returned "transaction successful" to the bot before on-chain confirmation, leading the bot to believe that the position had been hedged, while the actual on-chain state had not changed.The attacker then executed real on-chain trades to take advantage of the direction exposed by the bot, thus profiting "risk-free."Since the revert occurred at the chain level, Polymarket fees would not explode, making the attack cost controllable and executable continuously.GoPlus recommends that users pause automated trading tools, verify on-chain trading statuses, enhance wallet security, and closely monitor official announcements from Polymarket.

According to Crowdfund Insider, Joseph Lubin, founder and CEO of Consensys and co-founder of Ethereum, recently shared his views on the current state and future trajectory of the cryptocurrency market during an interview in Hong Kong. Lubin expressed a cautiously optimistic outlook. He emphasized that the digital asset economy is continuously evolving, driven by functional utility rather than pure speculative forces.When discussing Bitcoin, Lubin believes it should not be viewed as a traditional safe-haven asset at this stage. He described the broader crypto landscape as still resembling a "startup ecosystem," suggesting that positioning Bitcoin as a secure store of value amidst current developmental challenges may be premature. In contrast, he highlighted that Ethereum's native cryptocurrency, ETH, has a stronger functional demand.Lubin believes that the practicality of ETH in driving decentralized applications, smart contracts, and broader ecosystem activities gives it an advantage in real-world adoption compared to Bitcoin's main narrative. He emphasized Ethereum's enduring importance in the evolving financial infrastructure.He pointed out that institutional participation is deepening, with major banks, trading platforms, and financial networks increasingly building on Ethereum-based technologies and layer two scaling solutions. He stated that this momentum at the institutional level indicates that even amid market fluctuations, Ethereum is transitioning towards becoming the next-generation financial foundation.Overall, Lubin's remarks reflect confidence in Ethereum's long-term potential under short-term market pressures. He portrayed the ecosystem as resilient and innovative, with tools like Ethereum and MetaMask poised to drive meaningful progress in the digital economy.

According to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo, due to the recent incident involving the erroneous distribution of 620,000 bitcoins by Bithumb, Korean banks that have real-name account partnerships with it and other exchanges are taking a cautious approach to contract renewals to mitigate potential reputational risks.The contract between KB Kookmin Bank, which signed a real-name account agreement with Bithumb, is set to expire next month, and it is currently requesting Bithumb to strengthen its internal audits. Additionally, K Bank (partnering with Upbit, with a contract expiring in October) and Kakao Bank (partnering with Coinone, up for renewal in the third quarter) are also closely monitoring the situation and conducting a comprehensive assessment of the renewal matters.Previously, on February 6, Bithumb planned to distribute a total of 620,000 won in rewards to event winners but mistakenly issued 620,000 bitcoins (worth approximately 62 trillion won) due to a unit input error. Although Bithumb canceled the payment of 618,100 bitcoins before the transaction was recorded on the blockchain, 1,788 bitcoins were still actually distributed.
