According to GlobeNewswire, YZi Labs issued a statement indicating that a lawsuit filed by investor Abraham Gomez against the Nasdaq-listed company CEA Industries and its director Hans Thomas shows that the company is almost in an "operational vacuum," lacking a CFO, COO, operational or marketing teams, and even a fund management system, with no registered domain name or functional website.YZi Labs pointed out that this situation highlights the failure of the CEA Industries board's oversight, and that while signing a 20-year asset management agreement with 10X Capital Asset Management to manage substantial funds, it has not established basic corporate governance and operational infrastructure. Therefore, it demands that the board publicly respond to the related allegations, establish an independent committee to investigate Hans Thomas, and terminate the agreement signed with 10X Capital Asset Management.

According to an analysis report released by Chaos Labs, the recent liquidation event of approximately $27 million in Aave was caused by a configuration issue with the CAPO risk oracle.The root cause lies in the inconsistent update constraints at the smart contract level: the snapshotRatio parameter is limited by an on-chain constraint that allows only a 3% increase every 3 days, preventing it from being updated directly from approximately 1.1572 to the target value of about 1.2282, and it can only increase to about 1.1919; meanwhile, the snapshotTimestamp was successfully updated to a timestamp from 7 days ago. This misalignment between the ratio and the timestamp led to the CAPO calculating an upper exchange rate (approximately 1.1939) that was about 2.85% lower than the actual market exchange rate, triggering the liquidation of approximately 10,938 wstETH. No bad debt was incurred by the protocol during the event.Chaos Labs and BGD Labs have immediately reduced the wstETH borrowing limit for affected instances to 1 and manually aligned the parameters to restore the exchange rate through Risk Steward. A total of 141.5 ETH has been recovered through BuilderNet, which will be used to compensate affected users, while the remaining amount will be covered by the Aave treasury. The amount expected to be temporarily compensated by the DAO is not anticipated to exceed 345 ETH.

Former Meta Platforms Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun's artificial intelligence company "Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs" (AMI Labs) announced the completion of a $1.03 billion funding round, led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions, along with participation from other investors and angel investors from around the world. This funding round has raised the valuation of the French company to $3.5 billion.Yann LeCun stated that AMI Labs aims to create an artificial intelligence with intelligence comparable to that of adult humans, capable of reasoning, planning, understanding the physical world, and learning autonomously from very few samples.

Sonic Labs has launched the native stablecoin US Sonic Dollar (USSD), positioned as the core stable liquidity layer of the Sonic DeFi ecosystem. USSD is built on the infrastructure of Frax's frxUSD, backed by institutional endorsements from BlackRock, Superstate, and WisdomTree, and is pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. It supports gas-free minting across more than 10 chains using assets like USDC and USDT, and is currently live on a total of 12 chains including Sonic, Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum.Background of the launch: Sonic's TVL has plummeted 97% from its peak of $1.1 billion in May 2025 to $34 million, and the native token S has also dropped about 96% from its historical high of $1.03 in January 2025, with a market cap of only $150 million remaining.Sonic stated that USSD yields will flow back into the ecosystem for buybacks and incentives, aiming to build a self-reinforcing liquidity cycle and reduce reliance on external market makers.

The CEO of Mysten Labs, evan.sui, stated in a recent interview that he does not agree with the notion of "bear markets are great, keep building." In fact, bear markets are not "great" and are not worth celebrating or boasting about. The volatility does not merely "cleanse the market," but can scare away builders and users, leading to a smaller talent pool and slower adoption processes. While bear markets may allow a few teams to focus more, packaging it as beneficial for everyone overlooks the real costs and can harm the long-term development of the crypto industry. During downturns, many people lose their savings, cash flow breaks down, and even some strong teams may not be able to survive, which genuinely harms many individuals.

Aave Labs announced the security framework for Aave V4, proposing a "security-first" development model that embeds security verification during the architectural design phase, rather than only conducting a final audit before launch.This security plan has been ongoing for about a year, with approximately 345 days of security reviews completed, funded by a $1.5 million security budget approved by the Aave DAO. It is reported that the V4 security process combines multiple auditing methods, including formal verification, manual audits, invariant testing, fuzzing, and public security competitions. Future protocol development will continue to adopt five long-term security measures, including introducing formal verification early in development, implementing multi-layer security auditing methods, continuous validation mechanisms, a long-term bug bounty program, and utilizing AI-assisted smart contract security scanning.

According to official news, Aave Labs has released the complete transparency report of the Aave V4 security program, including methods, processes, and results, endorsed by several security agencies such as Trail of Bits, Blackthorn, and Certora.Through manual audits, formal verification, invariant testing, fuzz testing, and public security competitions, approximately 345 days of security reviews have been conducted. The program is supported by a dedicated security budget of $1.5 million approved by the DAO.Aave Labs announced that it will continue five core commitments from the Aave V4 security program: embedding formal verification in the early development stages to ensure that architectural design is guided by secure methodologies rather than just verification; adopting a layered security approach, including manual reviews, formal verification, invariant testing, AI-assisted checks, fuzz testing, and public security competitions to cover more potential vulnerabilities; maintaining continuous security coverage, with formal verification frameworks and invariant testing suites running continuously alongside protocol iterations; establishing a long-term bug bounty program to leverage a broader security community for ongoing monitoring; and optimizing AI scanning capabilities to continuously enhance the level of intelligent security detection in future versions based on existing testing experiences.

TRM Labs released a report indicating that artificial intelligence is profoundly changing the landscape of digital financial transactions, with illicit cryptocurrency flows reaching $158 billion by 2025, and AI-driven fraud activities growing at an annual rate of approximately 500%.The report highlights that autonomous AI agents have significantly compressed the time required for money laundering and cross-chain asset transfers. By automating the splitting of funds, selecting optimal bridging paths, and executing exchanges on decentralized platforms, these agents can obscure the trail of funds in just seconds.Overall, the 150 hacking incidents that occurred in 2025 resulted in losses of $2.87 billion, with the speed of fund dispersal playing a crucial role in the outcome of a $1.46 billion theft from a major exchange.

YZi Labs issued a statement claiming that based on the disclosures from CEA Industries (BNC), 10X and its affiliates may exceed the 5% threshold for 13D filing by the end of 2025 due to large warrant exercises, but no corresponding disclosure has been observed; it also questioned whether the board's "poison pill" and other concerted actions and affiliations constitute an undisclosed "group," demanding immediate supplemental disclosure to the SEC.

Aave DAO is currently voting on a significant proposal that would allocate up to $42 million to Aave Labs, including $25 million for ongoing product development and a $17.5 million milestone bonus. As of Friday evening, the support votes are leading with a narrow margin of 52%, and the voting will conclude on Saturday.The controversy centers around Aave Labs' original plan to compress the development space for v3 and force users to migrate to the yet-to-be-launched v4 version. This move has sparked strong backlash, with the main contractor Bored Ghosts Developing announcing they would not renew their contract and criticizing the proposal as nearly absurd. This week, Aave Labs made concessions, promising not to enforce migration, and v3 will continue to operate.Critics, represented by Marc Zeller, argue that the requested funds are too high, accounting for 31% of the DAO's reserves, and demand that the proposal be split into multiple independent votes, but Aave Labs insists on pushing for an overall vote. Currently, Aave v3 has deposits exceeding $26.3 billion, accounting for over 97% of the total deposits in the protocol.

Decentralized Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Protocol 0G Labs announced the launch of the "0G Apollo Accelerator," which plans to provide up to $20 million in funding support for incubating and scaling revenue-generating AI applications based on decentralized infrastructure.The accelerator is established in collaboration with the Blockchain Builders Fund (BBF). BBF is part of the Stanford University blockchain ecosystem, which includes projects such as the Stanford Blockchain Accelerator, BASS, and MS&E 447. The project is also supported by Google Cloud, with each selected team receiving a $200,000 cloud resource allocation.In addition, the wallet infrastructure platform Privy (acquired by Stripe) will provide production-grade wallet solutions for selected teams, aiming to help projects have enterprise-level computing and infrastructure capabilities from the early stages.
