Odaily News: BNB Smart Chain (BSC) has announced that the Pasteur hard fork will officially go live on the mainnet at 10:30 AM Beijing time on August 25 (02:30 UTC on August 25). Node operators are required to upgrade their clients to v1.7.7 in advance.This upgrade includes three improvements—BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675—focusing on enhancing cross-chain security, validator governance mechanisms, and network throughput. Among them, BEP-682 will strengthen the BNB Chain cross-chain bridge verification mechanism, preventing permission bypass risks caused by duplicate signature counting by validators, thereby improving the security of cross-chain asset transfers. BEP-695 optimizes the validator key rotation mechanism, ensuring that old keys no longer retain management privileges after exit, while also fixing potential vulnerabilities related to slashing and governance voting.In terms of performance, BEP-675 reduces the time consumption caused by validators repeatedly executing transactions by optimizing the block construction process. In BNB Chain's internal QANet test environment, this solution increased throughput from 1,237 TPS to 2,324 TPS. While maintaining the 450-millisecond block time and the 100 million Gas block limit unchanged, the average Gas usage per block rose from 46.35 million to 84.15 million.BNB Chain stated that this upgrade is primarily aimed at validators and block builders, designed to provide greater capacity during network peak periods and advance the throughput expansion goals outlined in BNB Chain's roadmap for the second half of 2026.
Odaily News - A study published at USENIX Security '26 reveals that researchers identified 65,340 high-risk cryptocurrency addresses involved in abuse on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with associated native token losses reaching 126,982.94 ETH and 17,726.7 BNB. The study estimates that total losses linked to these addresses exceed $574.8 million, of which two newly described active attack vectors directly caused approximately $15.7 million in losses (2.7% of the total). The first category involves contract account misuse and exploitation of deterministic contract addresses; the second leverages EIP-7702 to delegate accounts with exposed keys to malicious code that directly transfers deposits. The research team extracted over 16.3 million unique private keys by mining 63,004 GitHub repositories from January 2015 to May 2025, achieving an overall accuracy rate of 99.11% in detection results.

: According to on-chain detective Specter’s monitoring, B² Network may have suffered a vulnerability exploit on BNB Chain. The attacker transferred 8.591 million B2, worth $3.86 million, and exchanged them for 5,409 WBNB, worth $3.11 million. The funds were then bridged to Ethereum, and are currently being transferred to Zcash via NEAR Intents. The addresses used for the theft are 0xEc443f7D79835B464FBEAC798d3f92B62d6Ff433 and 0xf977427Ec8e583C55D413061FC205BCD57e8Bf6D.
According to on-chain analyst Specter, B² Network on BNB Chain suffered a hack, resulting in a loss of approximately 8.591 million B2 tokens (approximately $3.86 million). The attacker swapped them for 5409 WBNB (approximately $3.11 million) and bridged to Ethereum, and is currently transferring the funds to Zcash via NEAR Intents.
: BNB Chain Agent commercial clearing layer TermiX announced that Web3 security infrastructure GoPlus and smart contract security auditing firm Salus have officially become Provider Agents on the Agent.family platform. They have launched two production-grade security audit services, promoting the autonomous invocation and settlement of "security capability as a service" for AI Agents in on-chain commercial scenarios.GoPlus has packaged its verified token contract deep scanning capability as a standard Provider Agent service. DeepScan conducts comprehensive security checks on token contracts, identifying risk patterns such as Rug Pulls, honeypot scams, contract permission abuse, and trading restrictions, and generates structured audit reports.Salus has launched smart contract auditing and penetration testing services, encompassing formal verification, fuzz testing, machine learning-based vulnerability detection, and manual expert auditing. It covers high-risk vulnerability categories such as reentrancy attacks, access control issues, integer overflows, and DoS attacks. Salus, a seed-stage investment from Binance Labs, is a core security partner within the BNB Chain ecosystem.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that the algorithmic stablecoin Balance Coin dropped from $0.9954 to $0.001358, a decline of over 99%. The stablecoin is the native algorithmic stablecoin of the Balance Protocol, designed to maintain a peg to the US dollar. Blockchain security firm PeckShield stated that the depegging occurred following an exploit of the decentralized autonomous organization 42DAO, which governs the Balance Protocol and its BLC token, resulting in a $915,000 loss. TenArmor reported detecting suspicious attacks involving GemJoin and 42DAO on the BNB Chain.
Michael, Chief Business Officer of Token Pocket, stated on platform X that Robinhood founder's seed phrase was leaked during a live stream. After gaining control of the address, the hacker used it and associated addresses to heavily purchase the Meme token $1, prompting thousands of investors to follow suit. In a short time, the token's market cap quickly surged from approximately $500,000 to $14 million.Subsequently, the price of the $1 token dropped sharply, with two-hour trading volume reaching around $20 million. After the address was frozen, the hacker quickly moved to the BNB Chain, using the address and its associated addresses to issue a new token. They created trading activity through tactics like wash trading, ultimately dumping the tokens for profit.Currently, Robinhood's RPC has frozen the address, and the node does not allow transactions originating from this address to be packaged, making transfers, purchases, or sales impossible.
According to The Block, BNB Chain is building a new Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for agent trading, targeting transaction pre-confirmation in under 50 milliseconds, and suppressing MEV behaviors such as sandwich attacks by eliminating the public mempool (adopting the TxStream mechanism). The new chain will also reserve block space for oracles, liquidations, and cross-chain bridges via PriorityLane, with a designed throughput target exceeding 100,000 TPS, and supporting sub-second block finality. This chain will become the fourth chain in the BNB Chain ecosystem, connected to BNB Smart Chain via a native bridge, with BSC serving as the settlement hub. The testnet is planned to launch at the end of 2026, and the mainnet is expected to deploy in early 2027.
BNB Chain is developing a new Layer 1 blockchain designed for Agentic Trading, releasing the first detailed architectural information after months of research and development. According to BNB Chain's disclosed technical roadmap for the second half of 2026, the new chain will run in parallel with the existing BNB Chain ecosystem, targeting transaction preconfirmation times of less than 50 milliseconds. The goal is to deliver an execution experience close to that of centralized exchanges (CEX) while retaining the advantages of on-chain self-custody and transparency.In terms of technical architecture, the new chain will remove the traditional public mempool and introduce a transaction transmission mechanism called "TxStream," which directly sends transactions to block producers to reduce latency and minimize MEV extraction behaviors such as sandwich attacks.

Odaily news, Slow Mist founder Cosine published an analysis stating that the approximately $1.1 million loss incident in the OLPC / LABUBU liquidity pool on BNB Chain is suspicious. The loss occurred due to a severe imbalance in the OLPC/LABUBU trading pair, caused by a "vulnerability" in OLPC being exploited. Under certain conditions in _update, it is possible to burn OLPC tokens amounting to value * decimalsValue. Normally, decimalsValue is 1, but approximately 46 days before the attack, it was changed by the owner to an extremely large value of 7,326,680,472,586,200,649. A few days later, the OLPC owner renounced ownership, setting it to the zero address.Today, the attacker exploited this extremely large decimalsValue to trigger the Pair reserve burn, allowing a small amount of OLPC to extract a large amount of LABUBU. The attacker ultimately swapped 1.115 million USDT at a low cost. The suspicious point lies in the setting of decimalsValue—why did the OLPC owner set such an abnormally large value?
PancakeSwap has issued a notice regarding abnormal activity in the BNB Chain OLPC/LABUBU liquidity pool, stating that the team has acknowledged community reports and initiated a preliminary investigation.PancakeSwap indicated that initial findings confirm no issues at the smart contract level, and the relevant incident is still under further review. The team will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.The platform reminds users to rely on information released through PancakeSwap's official channels and to be cautious of unverified rumors.
according to PeckShield monitoring, the OLPC/LABUBU liquidity pool on BNB Chain's PancakeSwap was attacked. The attacker stole approximately $1.1 million worth of assets. After the incident, the attacker cross-chain transferred the stolen funds to Ethereum and subsequently deposited 633.4 ETH into the mixing protocol Tornado Cash. Additionally, the attacker sent 0.0221 BNB and 0.0411 ETH to a deprecated address. Relevant attack details and fund flows are still under continuous tracking.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the Humanity attacker’s address has bridged 130 ETH (approximately $220,600) from Ethereum to BNB Chain (381 BNB).
According to on-chain security platform Blockaid (@blockaid_), the MILC Platform cross-chain bridge suffered a private key leak on both the BNB Chain and Ethereum networks. The attacker exploited a historical bridge administrator wallet to grant the DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE and MANAGER_ROLE permissions to the attacker’s address. Subsequently, assets were withdrawn from the bridge contract, and administrative control was transferred to the attacker’s wallet. Confirmed losses currently stand at approximately $97,003 USDT (on BNB Chain) and approximately 39.21 ETH (on Ethereum, transferred out via Rhino.fi), totaling roughly $161,000.
Humanity released a post-mortem report on the H token security incident that occurred between June 8 and 9, stating that the incident was not caused by a smart contract vulnerability, but rather by a malware intrusion into a developer's device, which led to the leakage of private keys. Humanity stated that the attacker still holds the ProxyAdmin permissions for the ETH bridge and the BNB Chain token. Preliminary investigations confirmed that a colleague's device was infected with malware, which the attacker used to obtain the hot wallet private key of the administrator and the private keys for signing on 6 Gnosis Safe wallets. The team has hired an external security agency to conduct a forensic investigation and stated that they are formulating a recovery plan for affected users.
: According to an official announcement, on June 3, Trust Wallet announced a partnership with BNB Chain and CoinMarketCap to officially launch the "BNB Hack: AI Trading Agents" hackathon, featuring a total prize pool of $36,000. The Trust Wallet Agent Kit serves as the core on-chain execution technology stack for this event. This hackathon also marks the first time the Trust Wallet Agent Kit has been fully integrated as a core infrastructure component into a top-tier AI Agent hackathon system.The hackathon features two main tracks: "Autonomous Trading Agents" (prize pool $24,000, 5 winners) and "Strategy Skills" (prize pool $6,000, 3 winners), in addition to three partner special awards of $2,000 each. In the "Autonomous Trading Agents" track, participants must leverage the Trust Wallet Agent Kit to achieve local self-custodial signing, autonomous mode operation, and on-chain trade execution, deployed within native BNB Chain scenarios such as PancakeSwap and BSC Perpetual Contracts. The "Strategy Skills" track does not require an execution layer; participants build backtestable strategy proposals based on 12 categories of data tools from CoinMarketCap MCP, including market data, technical indicators, on-chain data, sentiment, and news.Track one uses real PnL as the core evaluation criterion, setting a maximum drawdown limit as the risk control threshold. Track two is comprehensively scored by a judging panel across four dimensions: technical execution, originality, real-world value, and presentation. The build window runs from June 3 to June 21, the trading window from June 22 to June 28, and winners will be announced during the week of July 6. In addition to cash prizes, winning teams will receive CoinMarketCap Pro API subscription credits, mentorship from CMC Labs, and the BNB Chain Kickstart ecosystem support package.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), approximately 19 hours ago, TesseraDao (@TesseraDao) on BNB Chain was attacked. The hacker maliciously minted 99 million TSR tokens and immediately dumped them, causing the TSR price to plummet by 99%. The attacker then exchanged the stolen TSR for approximately $2.5 million in USDT and cross-chained the funds to Ethereum. The attacker has since laundered 1,285.5 ETH via TornadoCash.
According to The Block, the DeFi lending protocol Radiant Capital has announced it will officially cease operations. The protocol suffered a hack in October 2024, losing approximately $51 million; the attacker gained unauthorized access by deploying backdoor contracts on Arbitrum and BNB Chain. Earlier in 2024, the protocol had also been hit by a flash loan attack, resulting in a loss of roughly 1,900 ETH (approximately $4.5 million). After 18 months of recovery efforts, Radiant Capital stated that it has neither recovered a significant portion of the stolen funds nor secured new financing, declaring that “the DAO has no viable path forward.” The protocol will now enter a “maintenance mode”: its frontend and smart contracts remain accessible, allowing users to withdraw funds, repay loans, and manage positions. Any funds recovered in the future will be returned to affected users.
