The blockchain interoperability protocol Hyperbridge disclosed details of the previous DOT attack incident, resulting in a loss of approximately $237,000. The root of the vulnerability lies in the HandlerV1 contract's VerifyProof() function, which lacks input validation and does not verify the leaf_index leafCount, allowing attackers to forge Merkle proofs.Using this, the attacker gained administrator privileges for the DOT token bridging contract on Ethereum, subsequently minting 1 billion bridged DOT (which is about 2800 times the legitimate circulation of approximately 356,000) and cashing out on decentralized exchanges. Hyperbridge stated that it is currently working with security partners to trace the funds, and cross-chain functionality will remain suspended until the investigation is completed.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) recalled in his new book that he was approached in early 2014 to become the CEO of Mt. Gox's China region.

Gox to handle technology, and CZ to manage operations in China, with an approximate 10% equity stake.CZ stated that he subsequently met with Mt. Gox founder Mark Karpeles in Tokyo, but just as both parties were close to signing, Mt. Gox suddenly suspended withdrawals on February 7, 2014, leading to a crisis, and he ultimately decided not to join.

According to Hurriyet Daily News, the Turkish parliament has removed the tax provisions related to crypto assets during the review of the comprehensive bill.The deleted provisions would have imposed a 0.3% transaction tax on the sale and transfer of crypto assets conducted through service providers and taxed cryptocurrency gains, primarily through withholding at the source. Although these provisions have been removed from the current draft, officials have stated that a revised version may be reintroduced to the parliament in the form of a separate legislative proposal.

Venus Protocol released a statement regarding the THE market event, stating that this incident was not a flash loan attack, but rather a result of the attacker exploiting a supply cap vulnerability in the old code of the protocol. The team indicated that the attacker had been accumulating THE tokens for about 9 months, gradually establishing a dominant supply position on Venus.The announcement pointed out that the attacker bypassed the normal deposit process by directly transferring THE tokens into the protocol contract, thereby breaking through the supply cap limit of 14.5 million THE. They manipulated DEX prices by taking advantage of the low on-chain liquidity. As the external price was gradually reflected by the TWAP oracle, the attacker borrowed assets (such as CAKE, BNB, etc.) against the inflated collateral value, then bought more THE to drive up the price, and continuously transferred THE into the vTHE market to increase the collateral value. This cycle once pushed the price from about $0.27 to about $0.53, ultimately leaving bad debt in the protocol after the positions were liquidated.Venus stated that it has currently suspended the THE market, reduced its collateral factor to 0, and suspended withdrawals. Additionally, as a precautionary measure, the collateral factors for 8 markets including BCH, LTC, AAVE, POL, FIL, TWT, UNI, and lisUSD have also been reduced to 0. The team and security partners are continuing to investigate and will release a complete post-analysis report in the future.

According to BlockSec monitoring, Inverse Finance is suspected of suffering a loss of approximately $240,000 due to an attack. YAM Finance responded in a post on platform X, stating that this incident is not a vulnerability in the Inverse contract, but rather related to the LlamaLend mechanism.According to their explanation, the attacker initiated a "donation attack" on sDOLA on LlamaLend, driving the price from about 1.188 sDOLA = 1 DOLA up to about 1.358 sDOLA = 1 DOLA, and subsequently liquidated almost all user positions that had crvUSD borrowed against sDOLA as collateral. It is still unclear why the increase in collateral value triggered liquidations, as it should logically keep users away from the liquidation line rather than bring them closer.It is worth noting that the "secondary effects" of this price anomaly are still ongoing. As a result, users who did not engage in leveraged operations on LlamaLend and only held sDOLA have seen their paper profits increase by about 14%. Additionally, DOLA is currently trading at about a 1% discount in the secondary market compared to its pegged value, and some community members suggest that borrowing users consider repaying their DOLA debts during this discount phase.

Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, stating that there has been an increasing discussion about the ongoing role of L2 in the Ethereum ecosystem. Due to the slow progress of L2 entering phase 2, and the expansion of L1 itself, it is expected that the Gas limit will significantly increase by 2026. This means that the original vision of L2 as Ethereum's "branded sharding" is no longer applicable, and new paths are needed.Vitalik Buterin pointed out that L1 no longer needs L2 as branded sharding, and that L2 cannot or is unwilling to meet the attributes required for true branded sharding. He suggested that L2 should identify value points beyond "scalability," such as privacy, efficiency for specific applications, extreme levels of scalability, non-financial application design, ultra-low latency, and built-in oracles. When handling ETH or other Ethereum assets, L2 should at least reach phase 1 and support maximum interoperability with Ethereum. Additionally, Vitalik Buterin stated that he has become more convinced of the value of native Rollup precompiles in recent months, especially after having the ZK-EVM proof needed for scaling L1. This precompile would make EVM verification without a security committee feasible. He believes that research should be conducted on how to design this precompile so that it can verify the EVM portion when L2 includes "EVM and other content." This would make achieving secure, robust, and trustless interoperability with Ethereum easier and enable synchronous composability.

BNB Chain's Chief Growth Officer Nina Rong posted that the theft of the BNB Chain Coinmarketcap account was due to a vulnerability that previously existed on the Coinmarketcap community platform.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media that in 2014, he envisioned building a decentralized, permissionless application network based on a technology stack. Now, all the conditions to realize the original Web3 vision are in place and will continue to strengthen. It is time to build a decentralized world.He mentioned that the decentralized messaging protocol Waku has supported applications like Railway and Status, and IPFS performs strongly as a decentralized file retrieval method, although storage issues need improvement. Taking Fileverse, a decentralized alternative to Google Docs/Sheets, as an example, its usability has significantly improved, utilizing Ethereum and Gnosis chains for account handling, processing documents with decentralized messaging and storage, and also through open-source "exit tests." He criticized the various drawbacks of "corporate bloated products" and cited cases to prove the risks are real.Today, decentralized applications like Fileverse are good enough to use. He frequently uses them to write and collaborate on documents, contrasting this with the difficulty of decentralized applications in 2014. He calls on builders to collectively embrace the decentralized renaissance.
