A new AI-powered security agent has launched on Base, with a Chrome extension now live on the Google Chrome Web Store, acting as a primary defense layer that intercepts malicious signatures and draining attacks before they reach hot wallets in real time.

Built on the Virtuals framework, HiveFury provides real-time protection through its Wallet Sentinel extension, which is already live and intercepts suspicious transactions before they execute. The focus is on pre-execution defense, stopping threats before funds move.

The platform combines AI swarm intelligence with crowdsourced signals, publishing verified threat data on-chain through its Threat Oracle. This enables protection across wallets, dApps, agents, and broader Web3 infrastructure.

As Web3 attack surfaces expand, HiveFury is positioning itself as an infrastructure-level security layer for the next generation of on-chain activity.

Glif, a generative AI platform, positions itself as a “Claude Code for creative work” for building images, videos, music, text, and other media workflows from a single interface. 

The platform integrates a wide range of models across image, video, audio, music, voice, and text, bringing multiple creative workflows into a single environment. A key feature highlighted by a16z is “Skills,” a reusable creative recipes built from millions of AI runs.

ZCAM, an iPhone camera app, uses cryptography to help prove whether photos & videos are real, original, and captured by an actual device. The app creates a cryptographic fingerprint at the moment of capture, giving users a way to verify media before it spreads.

For Succinct, ZCAM extends its cryptographic proof technology into a consumer-facing use case: turning authenticity into something that can be checked, not just trusted. 

Succinct, backed by Paradigm, is an infrastructure company building ZK proof systems that allow developers to verify data and computation without revealing the underlying inputs.

Cluster Protocol has raised $5M to accelerate development of CodeXero, a browser-native AI coding IDE for the EVM ecosystem, bringing total funding to $7.75M. The round included participation from dao5, Paper Ventures, JPEG Trading, Mapleblock, and Maven.

CodeXero brings “vibe coding” to onchain development, helping developers turn ideas into deployable smart contracts within a single environment.

It's powered by Cluster’s decentralized compute infrastructure and trained on over 200 audited smart contract patterns – parses the intent and generates deployment-ready smart contracts, DeFi logic, tokenomics models, and launch flows.

XPIN is rolling out a new model combining DePIN infrastructure with PayFi distribution, pushing toward real-world adoption. The project introduces a “free connectivity” approach, linking token utility directly to mobile data access and payment integrations.

The newly launched Freedata Plan allows users to deposit XPIN into a Loyalty Deposit and unlock VIP status. Depending on the tier, users can access up to 5GB of monthly global eSIM data across 149 countries while earning yield on their deposit.

VIP benefits also include up to 50% discounts on additional eSIM purchases, boosted dNFT mining rewards, and up to 2% extra referral bonuses. The system creates a loop where staking enables real-world connectivity, strengthening utility beyond speculation.

Polymarket is expanding its distribution through a major integration with Bitget Wallet, giving access to more than 90 million global users. The self-custodial wallet will now allow users to directly access Polymarket’s prediction markets within its decentralized interface.

The company is also reportedly seeking $400M in new funding at a $15B valuation. The move follows a $600M investment from NYSE parent ICE in March.

Beyond access, Bitget Wallet is also introducing AI-powered sports analysis tools to help users interpret market conditions, with joint initiatives planned around major events such as the NBA Playoffs and FIFA World Cup. 

Users will be able to fund accounts via Apple Pay and other payment methods, with gas abstraction enabling near-frictionless transactions across major EVM chains and Solana.

SpaceX secured an option to buy Cursor for $60B, with an alternative $10B partnership structure if the acquisition does not go through. The deal gives Cursor access to xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, helping remove a key compute bottleneck while deepening the link between Cursor’s coding product and xAI’s infrastructure.

The structure creates a powerful vertical AI play: Cursor brings a code editor and strong developer distribution, while SpaceX & xAI bring compute, capital & internal demand for coding agents.

The move also comes as SpaceX pushes further into AI tooling ahead of a potential IPO and as Cursor remains one of the fastest-growing companies in the AI developer stack.

The upgrade pushes toward faster withdrawals, stronger security, and higher throughput. It also introduces multiproofs for a step toward Stage 2 decentralization, streamlines the client stack for performance, and is scheduled for mainnet on May 13.

On top of that, the upgrade aligns Base more closely with Ethereum’s latest specs, while an Immunefi audit competition with a $250,000 reward pool runs ahead of activation.

Sui-based Volo Protocol lost approximately $3.5M in WBTC, XAUm, and USDC from three affected vaults. The team froze the vaults immediately, said the rest of the platform’s ~$28M in TVL remains safe, and has already frozen ~$500K of the stolen funds.

Volo is a Sui-based platform offering yield strategies through managed vaults, allowing users to deposit assets and earn returns. It focuses on automated vaults that optimize yield.

Anthropic is investigating reports that unauthorized users accessed its Mythos model through a third-party vendor environment. The incident comes as the company keeps Mythos under limited release due to concerns around its advanced cybersecurity capabilities.

Anthropic is currently expanding Mythos access to major banks and may extend it to European and UK banks soon.
