News linked to both this project and an event.
Odaily News: According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, a GNGN-associated address (0x5d04...60db) deposited 6,100 ETH to Coinbase 8 hours ago, worth $16.38 million. Tracing back, this ETH was cross-chain bridged from the Robinhood network to the Ethereum mainnet 6 days ago, and may represent Robinhood network fee revenue.
DYORSWAP has released an "Official Statement Regarding the Fake GIWA Mainnet 9134 Incident," stating that the incident was not a DYOR contract vulnerability, but rather was caused by a fraudulent network impersonating GIWA Chain 9134. This network had a bridge and batcher similar to OP Stack, deployed on September 27, 2026, at 02:10:59 (UTC+8). Approximately 8.5 hours before deployment, the address received about 0.045 ETH from a ChangeHero-related address. Data shows that a total of 1,335 addresses bridged approximately 767.65 ETH to it, of which about 766.25 ETH was ultimately transferred out from the cross-chain bridge.DYORSWAP stated that it has already used its own funds to compensate affected users with over 200 ETH. Additionally, the team is still tracking the cross-chain bridge deployer, the source of funds, early test wallets, and the subsequent flow of the transferred funds.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, planning to achieve 1,000x scaling through over three years of protocol restructuring and to evolve toward privacy and quantum security.
Odaily reports: Vitalik posted on X that Snowmoon is now complete. Snowmoon is an original science fiction novel by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, totaling 32 chapters.This is Vitalik's first publicly released complete long-form fictional work. It is not purely an entertainment novel; rather, it embeds his years of thinking in areas such as Ethereum, mechanism design, privacy technology, and pluralistic governance into a narrative framework for exploration. After its release, it quickly sparked discussion in the crypto community, and even related meme coins emerged (such as $SNOWMOON, $ZIPCOIN, etc.), but the core remains this open-source sci-fi story itself.
According to a blog post by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum is transitioning from a traditional blockchain architecture to a "cryptographic world computer." The article notes that fundamental changes have occurred at core levels such as verification mechanisms, consensus algorithms, and block production—shifting from full-data download and re-execution to PeerDAS sampling coupled with SNARK verification, evolving consensus from PoW to a highly optimized PoS, and moving block production rights from a single miner to multi-party collaboration under the FOCIL mechanism. From a user experience standpoint, Ethereum by 2030 will achieve strong censorship resistance (ensuring real-time transaction on-chain inclusion), reduced costs for general-purpose computing, stronger privacy guarantees (leveraging ZK-SNARKs alongside private account abstraction), and lighter node operational requirements. The article emphasizes that decentralized networks are evolving from a "security burden" into a performance advantage, enabling parallel processing of data and computation. The planned Hegota upgrade will serve as Ethereum's final "routine" fork; thereafter, recursive STARKs, automated formal verification, and quantum-safe mechanisms will be fully implemented, and Ethereum's core narrative will completely pivot toward the realization of a cryptographic world computer.
Odaily News: GIWA posted on X to remind the community that the mainnet has not yet launched, so there is no possibility of a so-called "RPC leak" connecting to GIWA mainnet network interfaces/node addresses. GIWA emphasized that any content claiming to have GIWA mainnet RPC information is untrue, and reminded users to verify relevant contract information before interacting with contracts, and to beware of FUD and scams.GIWA is an Ethereum Layer 2 launched by South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, built on OP Stack. The chain is currently live on testnet, with the mainnet to follow.
The official GIWA account (@GIWA_by_Upbit) issued a clarification stating that the project's mainnet has not yet launched and no RPC has ever been deployed, meaning there is no risk of any RPC leak. Users were reminded to conduct their own research (DYOR) and remain vigilant against FUD and fraudulent information. GIWA is an Ethereum L2 project developed by Upbit’s parent company, Dunamu, based on the OP Stack. Aiming for 1-second block times and EVM compatibility, the project is currently still in the testnet phase.
Yuga Labs blockchain vice president Quit posted on X that the asset claim website for NFTs stolen in the previous Payment Processor vulnerability incident has gone live. However, if an NFT collection uses the ERC721C or ERC1155C standard, its holders may temporarily be unable to claim assets through the NFT claim website. A number of NFT collections are currently affected by this issue. The relevant collections controlled by Yuga Labs are expected to be fixed by tomorrow. In the meantime, users can enable "7702 delegate OTC" in the transfer verifier settings, or add the specified Ethereum address and ApeChain address to the 7702 delegated address whitelist to remove the relevant restrictions.
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.
Yuga Labs Blockchain VP Quit posted on X that the NFT theft claims portal currently being built is expected to go live within the next few hours, and a dedicated address nftsaresafu.eth has been created to accept donations in ETH and other tokens.Quit stated that in addition to investing significant time, they paid approximately $7,500 in gas fees last night to handle related matters, and thanked the community for its support through channels such as X Money.Earlier reports indicated that NFT marketplace Magic Eden appears to have suffered an NFT security vulnerability, with white-hat hackers moving 3,832 NFTs from hundreds of wallets, worth approximately $1.5 million.

Bitget Wallet (decentralized wallet) operates completely independently from Bitget exchange infrastructure, and this incident has no impact on it. Bitget Wallet assets are completely safe.5. Transparent disclosure regarding the platform's financial status: In addition to over $464 million in protection funds (all held in publicly verifiable wallet addresses), Bitget's own assets exceed $1 billion. User funds are covered at a 1:1 ratio, and all data can be verified on-chain.6. Regarding withdrawal recovery timing: The goal is to achieve full recovery as soon as possible. Once a specific time window is confirmed, an announcement will be made immediately. No commitment will be made to timelines that cannot be fulfilled.
Odaily reports: According to Spartan Capital monitoring, Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on July 1, 2026. By the end of August, on-chain TVL had grown to $711 million, with August on-chain gas revenue reaching $6.6 million. The majority of August trading volume came from Uniswap, and on August 31, single-day on-chain fees briefly reached $2.1 million.Robinhood operates the sequencer and receives approximately 90% of on-chain fees; after deducting Ethereum settlement costs and the 10% licensing share paid to Arbitrum DAO, August net revenue was approximately $6 million.Robinhood Earn users deposited USDG and borrowed through Morpho, with deposits growing from $9.5 million on July 1 to $456 million on August 31, accounting for 68% of TVL at the end of the month. Users' estimated annualized yield was approximately 7%, while the lending side yield was approximately 3.7% at the end of August, with the spread subsidized by incentive funds from Morpho and its lending partners.As of the end of August, more than 340,000 tokens had been issued on-chain; Meme tokens paired with Robinhood Stock Tokens recorded $518 million in trading volume in August. Currently, on-chain trading activity is primarily driven by crypto-native users, and Robinhood's 27 million funded accounts have not yet migrated to the chain at scale. Robinhood wallet gas subsidies will continue until September 29, and Earn yields are planned to be gradually reduced.
According to the updated tracking data from SlowMist's MistTrack, the currently flagged Bitget hacker-associated addresses include 11 EVM addresses, 7 Ripple network addresses, and 1 TRON address.
Odaily News: Aerodrome's Slipstream V3 has gone live, introducing protocol-level internal MEV auctions to its concentrated liquidity AMM. The upgrade redistributes value captured by sandwich bots and arbitrageurs to active liquidity providers and sAERO holders, with the protocol expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in related revenue. This version also introduces dynamic fees that automatically increase when market volatility intensifies, and retains Uniswap V3's concentrated liquidity design, achieving capital efficiency up to 4,000 times that of traditional AMMs. Aero plans to merge Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism into a single AERO token, and to launch on Ethereum mainnet in Q2 2026. Aero Lite has already launched Slipstream pools on Circle's Arc, and Dromos Labs is developing pool-level fee rebates and KYC options for institutional clients.
Cathie Wood's ARK Invest has announced the tokenization of its approximately $1.3 billion ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) through Securitize, marking the first fund under ARK to be officially brought on-chain.ARKVX is an actively managed fund with an investment scope covering private and public market technology companies. Its current portfolio includes companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks. The tokenization will not change the fund's investment strategy; rather, it will move existing fund shares onto blockchain infrastructure.The tokenized version will be deployed on Ethereum and made available to eligible investors through Securitize. Securitize will be responsible for fund issuance, investor onboarding, and the related on-chain infrastructure.ARK Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood stated that tokenizing the ARK Venture Fund is a practical implementation of the company's assessment of the future evolution—even "revolution"—of capital markets. She believes that tokenization has the potential to fundamentally change the way investors participate in private and public financial markets.
According to PR Newswire, Bitcoin application layer platform Citrea has announced the acquisition of Crest, a self-custody private Bitcoin wallet. Backed by Founders Fund and Galaxy Ventures, Citrea states the acquisition aims to bring Zcash-style zero-knowledge privacy pools into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Crest founder Meliksah Gurtemel will join Citrea as head of product. Over the next few weeks, Crest will launch a Bitcoin mobile wallet supporting automatic shielding, private BTC transfers, and cross-chain private payments (enabling BTC to be privately swapped for USDC or ETH for payments to EVM addresses). Citrea co-founder and CEO Orkun Mahir Kılıç noted that addressing Bitcoin privacy represents the largest breakthrough for Bitcoin layers to meet genuine user demand, with Crest serving as the primary gateway for both users and liquidity flowing into Citrea.
Odaily News: Colb announced on September 24 that its digital finance AI agent Colbee has launched on WhatsApp. The product simplifies the use of DeFi and on-chain financial products through conversational interaction, allowing users to explore and access related products via natural language without directly operating wallets, networks, or decentralized trading platforms.Colbee previously primarily served accredited investors and has executed over $40 million in crypto asset and tokenized asset transactions based on client instructions and signatures.
