Odaily News: The Polkadot community has initiated OpenGov Proposal No. 1944, aiming to create a native decentralized stablecoin called dotUSD and establish it as the primary stable value asset within the Polkadot ecosystem. The proposal is currently undergoing governance voting. According to the proposal, dotUSD will adopt an over-collateralization mechanism, allowing users to mint dotUSD by locking DOT in the future. The system will also include a stability pool, liquidation mechanism, and redemption mechanism to maintain its peg to the US dollar. The proposal plans to use funds from the Polkadot treasury to provide initial liquidity for the DOT/dotUSD liquidity pool, with $2.5 million in USDT used to mint dotUSD and an additional $2.5 million worth of DOT allocated to the liquidity pool, bringing the total initial funding to $5 million. dotUSD is planned to launch in phases, with the first phase using USDT as reserve backing for minting, and the second phase introducing a full DOT collateral vault, oracle, stability pool, liquidation, and redemption mechanisms.
Liquid Network's official security incident report: On September 6, a vulnerability related to the range proof verification method in Liquid node caching within the open-source software Elements was exploited, resulting in the creation of approximately 4,000 LBTC tokens not backed by bitcoin reserves. The exploiter subsequently exchanged them for approximately 4,000 BTC via SideSwap and the Liquid standard Peg-out mechanism. Prior to the incident, Liquid's reserves stood at approximately 4,205 BTC. After the relevant Peg-out and other withdrawals completed before the network halt, reserves fell to 197 BTC.According to the official statement, the incident did not involve the compromise of Functionary nodes or private keys, and other issued assets on Liquid such as USDT were also unaffected by the vulnerability. The exploiter claimed to be a white hat security researcher and returned 3,400 BTC to the Liquid Federation Peg wallet on September 7. Approximately 598.5 BTC (about 15% of the funds involved) remain unrecovered, and Blockstream is in communication to recover the remaining assets.At present, the top priority is to recover the remaining funds and restore Liquid Network to normal operation as quickly and safely as possible. A fix for the vulnerability has been developed and is currently undergoing multiple rounds of internal and external review. Blockstream is preparing to urgently release Elements v23.3.4, which is expected to be rolled out as soon as preparations are complete, with a target launch within approximately 48 hours. Following the software update, Liquid Network Functionary operators will make further adjustments to restore full network functionality and resume a corrected network state, including rejecting previously invalid Peg-outs.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), Four Meme has launched 4Stock, a new platform introducing the "crypto-equity + launchpad" concept. Its corresponding BSC meme token, $4Stock, has swiftly breached a $50M market cap. Of these, $BNC4 serves as the first stock brought on-chain via 4Stock, pegged to the US equity BNC (the BNB-version equivalent of MicroStrategy, tracking the ticker for publicly traded US firm CEA Industries supported by YZi Labs). In theory, it maintains a 1:1 peg with the underlying stock. However, driven by market speculation, BNC4's price briefly surged to $35, nearly eight times the after-hours price of the underlying equity. Arbitrageurs subsequently exploited the platform's Mint mechanism to redeem BNC4 for USDT, triggering massive profit-taking sales and causing the BNC4 price to immediately crash. User @ShawnThread redeemed 6,666 BNC4 for 231,000 USDT, becoming the first successful arbitrageur.

According to the post-incident report released by Tectonic, the Cronos blockchain lending protocol Tectonic suffered an oracle manipulation attack at 12:49 UTC on August 30, 2026. By repeatedly borrowing and re-collateralizing TONIC tokens 98 times within a single transaction, the attacker drove up the TONIC collateral price by approximately 195 times. Leveraging this artificially inflated value, they subsequently extracted assets with a nominal value of $120.4 million from nine lending markets, spanning USDC, USDT, WBTC, WETH, and other assets. The attacker then bridged the stablecoins to Ethereum and converted them to ETH, while selling the remaining assets for CRO on the Cronos chain before withdrawing them. Approximately $9.19 million in total successfully escaped before the network halt. At 14:32 UTC, Cronos validators emergency-paused the network, rolling back the on-chain state to pre-attack conditions and restoring assets still held on Cronos. Currently, Tectonic's supply and borrowing functions remain suspended, while withdrawal and repayment capabilities continue normally. Tracing efforts for the stolen funds are being coordinated by blockchain forensics firms, law enforcement agencies, and stablecoin issuers, with freeze requests already filed with the relevant issuers.
