AMD middle managers accused of diverting multiple engineers to ATOM inference engine project with almost no customers
Odaily News: SemiAnalysis posted on X that AMD middle managers are spending the time of more than 20 engineers trying to expand their sphere of influence and secure promotions through a useless side project called the "ATOM Inference Engine," rather than allocating those resources to inference engines actually being used by real customers like Meta and xAI, such as SGLang and vLLM.SemiAnalysis said that dozens of AMD engineers, including principal engineers and AMD Fellows, have privately contacted the firm, stating that due to internal office politics at AMD and support from some middle managers, they are unable to discuss their concerns internally. Middle managers are consuming the time of more than 20 full-time engineers to develop this side project with almost no customers, and the engineers involved are all "10x engineers" who should have been dedicated to developing customer-facing inference engines like vLLM and SGLang.SemiAnalysis said that middle managers will likely respond by pointing to the only customer using the project in a production environment—Alibaba, based on Qwen—but further investigation shows that this is merely a limited deployment of ATOM by Alibaba's enterprise business unit, not the main business unit behind Qwen.SemiAnalysis stated that AMD management has diverted resources and limited internal GPU R&D clusters away from engineers supporting production-grade inference engines such as vLLM and SGLang, instead using them to expand their own influence and engage in office politics, showing a profound lack of respect for AMD engineers.
NES holdings inflated to $50 million, Cosmos EVM exploit attacker actually profited about $60,000
According to Odaily, an investigation into the security vulnerability exploit of the Cosmos EVM module reveals that the primary attacker (0x9AE7) purchased $250,000 worth of NES and bridged it to Nesa Chain, exploiting a balance vulnerability to inflate holdings to 200 times their original size, then bridged approximately $50 million worth of NES back to Ethereum. The attacker's initial funding for the wallet originated from Monero. Through multiple wallets, the attacker exchanged NES for ETH on DEXs and deposited the proceeds into centralized exchanges. Due to rapid liquidity withdrawal, most exchanges suffered extreme slippage, and the attacker ultimately sold for only $315,000, netting a profit of approximately $60,000 after deducting costs.
Namada suffered an attack, with over 220,000 ATOM flowing into a Cosmos Hub address before being transferred out
According to Odaily, the privacy-focused public chain project Namada officially stated that the protocol encountered a vulnerability attack incident. The team is currently investigating and has contacted relevant parties to assist in handling the matter.Officials stated that if the operator behind this attack is a white hat hacker, they hope the individual will proactively contact the team to further understand the vulnerability and facilitate a resolution.On-chain data shows that some ATOM assets related to the incident were allegedly transferred to a Cosmos Hub network address via IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol). According to on-chain tracking information, this address received approximately 228,517 ATOM on June 18. The funds were subsequently drained within hours through IBC transfers and multiple outgoing transactions. Currently, only a small balance remains in this address.As of now, Namada has not disclosed the type of vulnerability, the attack method, or the specific scale of losses. The relevant investigation is still ongoing.
Gravity Bridge, a Cosmos ecosystem cross-chain bridge, announced service suspension following an attack.
The Cosmos ecosystem’s cross-chain bridge Gravity Bridge was reportedly attacked due to a leaked signature key, resulting in approximately $5.4 million in stolen assets. The official team has confirmed the security incident and has urgently suspended bridging services to conduct an investigation. Validators have also been instructed to halt their validator nodes and coordinators. It is reported that the bridge’s contract keys may have been compromised.
Cosmos Hub Recovers 1.227 Million ATOM Tokens Involved in Neutron Attack
Cosmos Labs disclosed in a post that on September 22, Neutron suffered a governance attack, causing funds across protocols such as Astroport to be transferred, with approximately 1.73 million ATOM entering the Cosmos Hub. The Cosmos Hub itself was not targeted, and user funds remained unaffected. To halt further asset outflows, validators paused the network and utilized the Gaia v28.3.0 patch to transfer approximately 1.227 million ATOM from the attacker's address to a 4/6 multisig account managed by six community validators.

PeckShield: The cryptocurrency industry experienced 50 major attack incidents in August, with total losses of approximately $136.3 million.
According to PeckShieldAlert, the cryptocurrency industry saw 50 major attack incidents in August 2026, an increase of 67% over the 30 incidents in July. Total losses reached approximately $136.3 million, a 49.5% decrease from the $270 million in July. The Tectonic.cro incident caused approximately $74 million in losses, ranking as the fourth-largest crypto theft of the year, behind only attacks associated with Drift, KelpDAO/LayerZero, and COLDCARDwallet. The attacker managed to cross-chain only around $6 million to Ethereum before Cronos suspended its entire network, leaving the rest of the funds mostly stranded on Cronos. The attacker has since started laundering the illicit proceeds and bridging a portion to Bitcoin, amounting to roughly $200,000 to date. Other significant attack incidents in August involved Moonwell, Termlabs, Coinsbuy, TAC, Injective, MANTRA, BounceBit, Cosmos Labs, and aquifer.

The Stride chain will cease operations, and stTokens will be migrated to Osmosis for redemption
Cosmos ecosystem liquid staking protocol Stride has announced plans to wind down the Stride chain's operations in an orderly manner. Users can redeem stTokens through Stride before October 12, after which the redemption function will be suspended; once the underlying staked assets are fully unlocked, a redemption pool is expected to go live on Osmosis around November 20.stTokens will not expire, users do not need to take action before the migration, and stTokens already deployed on other chains do not need to be bridged back to Stride. stTokens such as stATOM and stOSMO, along with their corresponding underlying assets, will be migrated to Osmosis's Transmuter pool and exchanged at a fixed redemption ratio; reward accrual will cease after the migration is complete. Stride stated that Stride Labs and Stride Association have limited financial reserves, and at the current burn rate, funds are expected to be depleted by February 2027.
Block production has resumed normally, Cosmos Hub network restarts as planned
Cosmos Hub officially stated that validators have successfully restarted the Cosmos Hub network as planned, block production has resumed, and the network is operating normally. The team will continue to monitor the network status and release further updates.
ZetaChain Shuts Down Layer 1, Passes ZETA Migration to Solana Proposal with 99.4% Support
Odaily News: The ZetaChain community has passed Proposal 68 with a voter participation rate of 58%, exceeding the 40% quorum threshold; both against votes and abstentions accounted for 0.3%.ZetaChain stated that the project will shift its focus to Anuma, an AI application launched in February this year, and will no longer maintain its independent Layer 1 built on Cosmos SDK. Anuma claims to have over 300,000 users and has processed 1 million requests from 35 AI models.According to the proposal, ZETA will be converted to Solana-native SPL tokens at a 1:1 ratio, retaining the original token ticker and total supply, with the existing unlock schedule unchanged; ZETA on Ethereum and BNB Chain is not included in this migration. The shutdown timeline has not yet been determined, and a second vote will be held to determine the balance snapshot block, shutdown block, token claiming, and asset withdrawal plans. The project team will not initiate the second vote until trading platforms confirm the exchange arrangements; during this period, ZETA staking will continue.
