According to official news, the decentralized GPU cloud computing infrastructure platform Aethir confirmed that its Ethereum-related bridging contract was attacked. The team promptly disconnected the affected contract and worked with major exchanges to blacklist the hacker's wallet, limiting the losses to under $90,000.Previously, blockchain security company PeckShield estimated the losses to be $400,000. The attacker exploited Aethir's cross-chain smart contract AethirOFTAdapter to transfer the stolen funds from the BNB Chain to Tron.Aethir stated that its Ethereum mainnet ATH token supply was unaffected and plans to announce a detailed compensation plan and incident analysis next week, collaborating with exchanges such as Binance, Upbit, and Bithumb to freeze funds. The Web3 security platform ZeroShadow is participating in the investigation. Aethir aims to achieve revenue of $127.8 million by 2025, with over 440,000 GPU containers deployed globally.

The decentralized cloud infrastructure provider Aethir tweeted that it has detected and successfully isolated a malicious attack targeting the ATH cross-chain contract (connecting Ethereum with other chains). Currently, all attacked contracts have been disconnected, and the vulnerability has been controlled; the total supply of ATH on the Ethereum mainnet has not been affected; the ETH-ARB cross-chain bridge on Squid has not been impacted; the actual amount affected for users is controlled within $90,000; the team will announce a complete compensation plan next week.Aethir is currently working with multiple law enforcement agencies and exchanges (Binance, Upbit, Bithumb, HTX, etc.) to freeze funds and track the attackers. Additionally, the team has published the addresses of the affected contracts, reminding users not to interact with them temporarily.

The decentralized GPU computing infrastructure Aethir officially launched its managed Kubernetes service today, strategically extending into the enterprise AI infrastructure market.Kubernetes (K8s), as the "gold standard" in the open-source container orchestration field, can automate the management of large-scale server clusters. Aethir's move aims to provide global AI teams with a high-performance development environment that is ready to use without the hassle of managing underlying hardware.The core features of Aethir's managed Kubernetes service include: minute-level cluster deployment: enterprises can launch GPU-supported Kubernetes clusters in minutes through a self-service API; high-end GPU support: offering the latest generation of GPUs such as NVIDIA H100, H200, B200; transparent pricing: starting at $1.45/hour with no outbound data transfer fees; enterprise-grade security: zero-trust access control, RBAC, and complete audit logs.Aethir offers a pricing model that is lower than traditional centralized cloud providers. By eliminating redundant intermediary premiums and high virtualization taxes, Aethir has reduced overall computing costs by 60% to 80%. Aethir's decentralized infrastructure spans 95 countries and regions globally, with 435,000 GPU containers providing low-latency computing access across more than 200 physical nodes, serving over 150 enterprise clients.

Coinglass 데이터에 따르면, ETH 전체 네트워크 계약 보유량이 지난 24시간 동안 18.32% 증가하여 현재 총 보유량은 331.02억 달러입니다. 이 중 Binance 보유량은 72.61억 달러, OKX 보유량은 22.76억 달러, Bybit 보유량은 24.94억 달러, Gate 보유량은 42.02억 달러입니다.According to PR Newswire, the Nasdaq-listed Chinese company Jiuzi New Energy (stock code: JZXN) announced the signing of a strategic cooperation memorandum (MOU) with the blockchain infrastructure project AetheriumX, planning to invest up to $30 million in its core product "Distributed Capital Intelligent Protocol" (DCIP). The DCIP protocol is positioned in the fields of decentralized finance (DeFi), GameFi, and digital asset strategy execution, aiming to provide on-chain interaction and asset management infrastructure for the global Web3 ecosystem.According to the memorandum, the cooperation between the two parties will focus on three dimensions: on the technical level, Jiuzi New Energy plans to deeply integrate the DCIP technology stack, embedding on-chain automated strategy execution capabilities into its own business scenarios; on the business level, both parties will jointly develop products and services related to DeFi, GameFi, and digital asset strategy execution; on the ecological level, as the DCIP protocol ecosystem expands, Jiuzi New Energy will participate in the revenue sharing of the protocol and its surrounding ecosystem.

Aave released a user event report on the loss from exchanging aEthAAVE. A user attempted to exchange approximately $50.43 million worth of aEthUSDT for aEthAAVE through the CoW Swap router integrated into the Aave interface. Due to the user's order size far exceeding the market's available liquidity, the CoW Swap quote showed a price impact of up to 99.9%. The interface displayed a strong warning and required the user to check the "Confirm potential loss of 100% value" checkbox. After manually confirming on a mobile device, the user still proceeded with the transaction and ultimately received only about 327 aEthAAVE (worth approximately $36,000).The Aave protocol itself was not affected; the loss occurred at the third-party protocol level. This transaction incurred about $110,000 in fees, which Aave stated would be refunded after the user completes identity verification. In response to this incident, Aave announced the upcoming launch of the "Aave Shield" feature, which will by default intercept transactions with a price impact exceeding 25% to prevent users from suffering significant losses due to operational errors.

CoW DAO responded to the incident where "a certain whale lost approximately 50.39 million dollars due to excessive slippage when exchanging aEthAAVE," stating that "no DEX, DEX aggregator, public liquidity pool, or private liquidity pool (or their combination) can execute this transaction at a price close to a reasonable level. However, preventing users from trading would deprive them of their choices and could lead to extremely poor outcomes in certain situations (such as market crashes).Such transactions indicate that the DeFi user experience has not yet reached the level necessary to protect all users. The team is currently exploring how to balance strong security measures with maintaining user autonomy. We will also refund any fees paid to CoW DAO due to this transaction."According to previous news from ChainCatcher, a user lost approximately 50 million dollars in a single transaction due to slippage, and the founder of Aave stated that the interface had issued multiple warnings.

In response to community concerns about the slow progress of MegaETH's launch, GMX stated that since the mainnet went live in the second week of February, the ecosystem's advancement is still in a gradual startup phase. Currently, the on-chain TVL scale remains relatively limited, and most protocols are still in the testing and optimization stage.GMX indicated that its smart contracts have been deployed on-chain, and the team is advancing several preparatory tasks, including ensuring initial liquidity is in place, refining the liquidity provider (LP) incentive design for the GLV [USDM-USDM] treasury, optimizing the trading user experience, and collaborating with DeFi protocols built on MegaETH to leverage composability advantages. However, a formal launch date has not yet been determined, and it is expected that updates will follow as soon as the next phase of the ecosystem advancement plan for MegaETH is announced.
