In the aftermath of Fantom’s $550,000 hack in October, a security researcher found that the attacker could have stolen as much as $170 million. The Fantom Foundation, a nonprofit organization developing the Fantom blockchain platform, has eliminated a significant vulnerability after a $550,000 hack in October. On Oct. 17, the Fantom Foundation suffered a hot wallet hack, with an unknown attacker drain ing 1% of Fantom Foundation’s funds. The foundation subsequently stopped using some of the affected wallets, reassigning them to a Fantom employee, making it a “targeted attack.” Following the incident, an unnamed security researcher found an additional potential risk associated with the hack and alerted the Fantom Foundation, according to a blog post on Nov. 20. The vulnerability was associated with a dormant admin token for Fantom’s ERC-20 FTM contract, which could potentially allow the attacker the ability to mint a portion of Fantom (FTM) for themselves on Ethereum. According to the ...

Leveraging their understanding of securities laws, they embarked upon the task of shedding light on the intricate historica...

Some DAO members joked about the situation while others believed there may be an ulterior motive at play. BarnBridge DAO members have been told to pause “all work” related to the project after a reported probe by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In a July 6 post to the platform’s Discord channel, Douglas Park, a lawyer for the decentralized autonomous organization revealed the news to members. “I am letting you know that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating BarnBridge DAO and individuals associated with the DAO,” Park said. pic.twitter.com/ChsjBuGEzM — BarnBridge (@Barn_Bridge) July 7, 2023 In order to “reduce potential further legal liability,” Park suggested “all work” on BarnBridge-related products should stop — including the closure of liquidity pools — and that individuals should not receive compensation for work flowing from the investment efforts of the DAO. Co-founder Tyler Ward, presumably dubbed “Lord Tyler” on Discord, c...

Nearly 1,000 NFTs have been put on Ethereum by Germany’s BND in its quest to recruit blockchain talent for the agency. Germany’s foreign intelligence agency the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) has launched a dog-themed nonfungible token (NFT) collection with an on-chain treasure hunt aimed at recruiting cyber talent . Earlier in June the Federal Intelligence Service launched its “Dogs of BND” collection — 999 dog NFTs inspired by BND’s guard and security dogs as well as “different intelligence roles.” According to the BND’s website, the NFTs are only collectible by finding a character string — which it posted on Instagram that points to an Ethereum address. The cyber talent would need to use that information to find the collection and be eligible to mint an NFT. A Twitter user shared an image posted on BND’s Instagram and rhetorically asked if the NFTs are taxpayer-funded. Source: Twitter On June 19, the BND spoke to the German crypto outlet BTC-Echo, the agency said it created the ...

The LIFI executive proposed that a team of four researchers be appointed to study the idea of a multi-bridge approach. As Uniswap DAO’s vote to deploy to BNB chain continues, LIFI CEO Phillip Zentner argued in a February 6 forum post that the current proposal is flawed. According to him, the plan to use Wormhole as the sole governance bridge for Uniswap should be abandoned. Instead, he claimed that Uniswap researchers should work on a standardized system for using multiple bridges to handle governance decisions. The ongoing discussion on @Uniswap's forum is critical for the multi-chain ecosystem in 2023. TL;DR: Uniswap's model for x-chain governance will likely become industry standard. As an unbiased member of the community, @lifiprotocol is rooting for a multi-bridge implementation — Philipp Zentner | LI.FI (@PhilippZentner) February 6, 2023 In the post, Zentner stated that LIFI strongly recommends “that Uniswap not select one bridge provider for its BNB Chain Deployme...
