This attack was carefully prepared over weeks, not executed overnight. Chainalysis traced the attacker’s setup back to late April, when a linked wallet moved XMR through a privacy bridge, swapped into USDC, bridged to Ethereum, and bonded RUNE on THORChain to operate as a legitimate validator before executing the exploit.

The attack targeted THORChain’s GG20 threshold signature scheme, where validators jointly sign transactions using split key shares. By exploiting a flaw in the implementation, the attacker gradually extracted enough key material to reconstruct private key and bypass signing process.

THORChain detected abnormal balances within minutes and halted the network through validator coordination and emergency governance actions, without any central authority. Only 1 of 6 Asgard vaults was breached: $10.7M was drained, while the remaining vaults, LP positions, and user funds were unaffected.

Privacy L2 Aztec Labs acquired Obsidion and its founding team in an undisclosed deal, adding a production-ready identity layer to its stack.

Obsidion built ZKPassport, a tool that lets users verify age, nationality, or humanity via NFC passport scan without exposing personal data. It already handled identity checks for 17,000 participants in Aztec’s own token sale and processed tickets at Devconnect.

Aztec will keep both the protocol and iOS app open-source, integrating ZKPassport into its Ignition Chain ecosystem, which launched in November with 136 nodes.

XPIN Network launched its eSIM product on Base, enabling users to purchase, activate, and top up mobile internet access directly onchain without leaving the Base network.

The eSIM covers 149 countries and regions with access to local 4G/5G networks, AI-powered automatic carrier switching for optimal signal, and zero roaming fees.

For business travelers, global teams, and digital nomads, this could fundamentally change how people pay for connectivity. Potentially free global internet access, backed by onchain yield.

GRVT partners with Plume to integrate three institutional-grade tokenized yield funds directly into its platform, giving traders access to diversified RWA yield from the same self-custodial balance they use for perpetual futures.

The integrated strategies include:

– Base Yield Fund for stable, lower-risk exposure

– Balanced Fund for institutional-grade credit built for capital preservation

– Opportunistic Fund for structured credit and bond strategies with higher yield potential

Underlying exposure includes tokenized institutional assets such as the $2.2 billion iShares AAA CLO Active ETF, bringing BlackRock-grade fixed income instruments onchain for the first time in a self-custodial trading context.

Temple is the #1 app on Canton by revenue and now expanding its suite ahead of plans to list regulated traditional market instruments in the second half of 2026, positioning itself as the first non-custodial trading platforms to leverage Canton's privacy.

This funding, backed by SBI Holdings, follows earlier seed funding led by Paper Ventures, which backed Temple's early development as the premier trading venue on Canton.

To support the expansion, Temple recently launched Lightspeed — a performance upgrade delivering sub-second matching and support for 100,000 orders per second, making it one of the fastest trading engines on Canton's Global Synchronizer.

Dropee is building an AI-powered mini-app ecosystem inside Telegram, centered on Dropee Create – a no-code platform to generate, launch, and monetize apps directly in Telegram. It combines AI app creation with built-in distribution across Telegram’s user network.

Dropee already operates at scale pre-TGE, reporting 13M+ users, 4M monthly active users, and $2.5M+ in ecosystem revenue. The project has launched multiple live products, while Dropee Create has over 17k users on its waitlist ahead of release.

Unlike traditional AI app builders that compete for external traffic, Dropee apps launch natively within Telegram’s ecosystem. This removes reliance on app stores and external acquisition channels, giving creators direct access to Telegram’s social and viral mechanics from day one.

The broader DROPEE thesis ties into the AI + revenue narrative outperforming across public and private markets. Some compare the category expansion to platforms like Lovable, which recently reached a multi-billion valuation after rapid adoption in AI applications.

DROPEE trading starts today at 3:00 PM UTC, backed by $5.25M in funding. This board compares potential FDV scenarios using benchmarks from other AI/Dev. Tools projects like GameBuild, PlaysOut, and Fabric Protocol.
