ZachXBT Slams zkSNARKs: Calls It an Ordinals Scam, Raised $17 Million With Zero Practical Utility
On-chain analyst ZachXBT (@zachxbt) disclosed that the recently launched 10K PFP NFT project zkSNARKs on the Zcash chain is allegedly a rug pull. The project attracted a total of 16,971 bids via a blind auction, ultimately completing the allocation of 8,000 items at a clearing price of 1.5 ZEC (approximately $2,190). Total trading volume reached 25,305 ZEC (approximately $36.94 million), and refunds totaling 13,309 ZEC (approximately $19.43 million) have been progressively returned. ZachXBT noted that the project raised approximately $17 million, while incorporating a 10% team allocation, 5% royalties, and a minting fee of around $2,000, yet offered zero utility. This mirrors the typical "rug pull" strategy commonly seen in Ordinals-style projects.

Limit Break contract has a known vulnerability; Magic Eden Ethereum marketplace NFT traders need to revoke approvals
Odaily report: According to RevokeCash monitoring, if users have previously traded NFTs on the Magic Eden Ethereum marketplace, their wallets may have granted approval to Limit Break's Payment Processor contract; this contract currently has a known vulnerability, and it is recommended to revoke the approval. Magic Eden previously stated that NFTs currently still listed on its platform are not affected by this vulnerability; NFTs listed through its EVM marketplace between approximately February 2024 and October 2024 may be affected, while listings after October 2024 are in principle not affected. Magic Eden is contacting protocol owner and maintainer Limit Break to study other risk mitigation measures, including pausing protocol transfers, and continues to investigate the actual scope of impact.Users who have previously listed or traded NFTs on the Magic Eden EVM marketplace should revoke the relevant contract approvals on Ethereum, Polygon, and Base networks, and revoke all NFT approvals marked as "approved for all." Yuga Labs Blockchain Vice President Quit stated that the asset claim website for the Payment Processor vulnerability NFT theft incident has officially launched; affected users whose NFTs were successfully safeguarded can now claim, but must first revoke their approval to the Payment Processor.
Magic Eden responds to vulnerability issue: Discontinued Payment Processor V2 in October 2024; No impact on existing listings.
Magic Eden clarified on the X platform that Payment Processor V2, an NFT trading protocol under Limit Break, was recently exploited. Magic Eden stopped using this protocol in October 2024 and will completely shut down its EVM marketplace in Q1 2026, so this exploit did not affect existing Magic Eden listings. However, NFTs listed on the Magic Eden EVM marketplace from February to October 2024 may have been impacted, and users should revoke the "Approve for All" authorization for the contract on Ethereum, Polygon, and Base. Additionally, Magic Eden stated it is collaborating with Limit Break to investigate and seek further mitigation measures.
NFTs Worth Over $5.7 Million Protected in White Hat Rescue, Payment Processor Vulnerability Leads to Theft of NFTs Across Multiple Projects
Odaily reports: According to monitoring by Quit, at 9 AM EST today, an attacker exploited a vulnerability in Payment Processor V2 to steal 10 Meebits, 50 Otherdeeds, 10 WoW, and 235 Desperate Apewives. More than 12 hours after the incident, no one had reported it, and an investigation subsequently revealed that a large number of NFTs were facing the same risk. Quit stated that after contacting the LimitBreak team, they quickly paused the similarly affected Payment Processor V3. However, V2 could not be paused, and V3 on ApeChain was also temporarily in a state where it could not be paused, so the team carried out a white hat operation, transferring and protecting a total of 23,155 NFTs worth over $5.7 million. The team later discovered that the vulnerability could also be used in reverse to steal WETH, with approximately 660 WETH at risk, but these could not be recovered in time. Currently, all rescued NFTs have been transferred to secure addresses, and holders will be able to claim their assets in the future after revoking approvals for the vulnerable contracts.

Flap Launches New bBroker Vault Mechanism, Converting Meme Coin Trading Fees into NFT Dividends and On-Chain Floor Price
Odaily News: Flap has announced the launch of bBroker Vault, powered by bStocks, on BNB Chain, combining Meme coin trading activity with NFT yields and tokenized stock ecosystems through a new mechanism.Under this mechanism, users are required to pay a fixed fee in corresponding tax tokens to mint bBroker NFTs, and the tokens paid are burned directly. Subsequently, trading fees from quote assets flowing into the Vault are automatically allocated to a "dividend pool" and a "floor price pool," enabling NFT holders to continuously earn dividends in quote assets without staking or locking up.Meanwhile, each bBroker NFT carries an on-chain floor price backed 1:1 by assets in the floor price pool, and holders can sell the NFT back to the Vault at any time to exit. Flap positions this mechanism as a novel on-chain economic model integrating Meme coins, NFTs, and stock assets.
0xSun: Robinhood Chain Could Drive Meme Coin Momentum, CASHCAT, PIPEDOG and Other Projects Worth Watching
Odaily News Trader 0xSun stated on social media that during Robinhood's earnings call, the only token appearing in a fleeting search bar was CASHCAT. Additionally, Robinhood CEO Vlad, when discussing the Robinhood Chain, mentioned that the chain will be built around RWA, adding that he also likes Meme coins.As a result, CASHCAT's market cap rebounded from approximately $30 million to nearly $50 million. 0xSun believes that an ideal trajectory for a public chain resembles the Base ecosystem in late 2024, initially driven by factors such as founder influence and team background, and later ignited by events like exchange listings. Currently, Robinhood possesses similar conditions, and tokens on its chain could benefit from expectations of potential exchange listings.Furthermore, 0xSun noted that the Meme coin PIPEDOG on the Robinhood chain saw its market cap quickly surge past $75 million within a few hours. The project team locked the liquidity pool and refunded 173 ETH to users affected by the initial contract. The project currently has deep liquidity, with the pool containing approximately $4.5 million in ETH at a market cap of around $30 million.Previously active HOODRAT also once approached zero due to the overall downturn of the Robinhood chain but recently received attention from Matt, the original artist of the Pepe comic, causing its market cap to rebound from a low of $500,000 to $5 million.Beyond Meme coins, 0xSun indicated that STONKBROKER is currently one of the better projects within the Robinhood ecosystem that combines NFT, RWA, and game mechanics, making it worthy of continued attention.
Upbit Will List Euler (EUL) KRW Trading Pair
According to Upbit's announcement, South Korean crypto exchange Upbit will list Euler (EUL) on the Korean Won (KRW) market on July 26 at 12:00 (KST), supporting deposits and withdrawals on the Ethereum network.

Attack ongoing, Yuga Labs VP reminds users to revoke PPV2-related approvals immediately
— According to Quit monitoring, the Payment Processor V2 (PPV2) exploit attack is still ongoing. Even if users were not affected in the September 25 incident, as long as they have not revoked the relevant approvals, their assets may still be at risk. Users are advised to revoke approvals immediately.About 1 hour ago, an address lost 0.15246 WETH in the next block after accepting a quote and receiving funds. The attacker paid 99% of it as a tip to Titan Builder and kept only about 0.0015 ETH, making it nearly impossible to rescue the funds through frontrunning.Quit suggests that OpenSea could check whether a user still has risky approvals before they accept a quote and require them to revoke them first; when transferring NFTs, it should also check whether the receiving address has any related approvals remaining.
