SlowMist has reportedly tied the recent Truebit Protocol $26M attack to a smart contract bug.
Truebit Protocol attack was due to a Smart contract bug, says report
Blockchain security company SlowMist has posted a post-mortem of the recent attack on Truebit Protocol in which the project lost over $26 million. According to the report, the exploit was due to an overflow bug in the protocol’s smart-contract logic that was not properly guarded in an integer addition operation.
This bug caused wrong ETH calculations, which made the minting cost close to zero, allowing the attacker to mint $26 million worth of TRU tokens.
Meanwhile, SlowMist noted that 30.5% of crypto exploits in 2025 were due to smart contract vulnerabilities. Presently, the TRU coin is attempting to recover after a 99% dump occurred following the attack.
Bitcoin Hyper launch date: DeepSnitch AI might launch faster as the January countdown enters its last lap
1. DeepSnitch AI: The 100X crypto project everyone is sleeping on
DeepSnitch AI could be the next big thing in the crypto market right now. Investors have reportedly been on an accumulation spree, buying into the game-changer, which could give holders over 100X returns this January.
They have seen its price skyrocket by 129% to $0.03469 and revenue soaring past $1.18M. The latest attraction is the AuditSnitch agent, which went live recently. You can use it to evaluate smart contracts and get real-time results on whether they have bugs or are scams.
Other live AI agents include SnitchGPT, SnitchScan, SnitchFeed, and a dashboard. You can use these tools to stay ahead of market updates and get quick, clear insights on what direction the market could take and how you can position yourself to get the highest ROI.
Another major attraction of DeepSnitch AI is its dynamic staking model. The staking APR is uncapped and adjusts as more users join. So, your APR could rise as high as 1,000%. This structure makes DeepSnitch AI appealing to traders and investors who want to compound gains.
2. Bitcoin Hyper launch date: Rumors say Q1 2026
Bitcoin Hyper is a Layer‑2 crypto project that promises to offer fast, low‑cost transactions. Its goal is to bring DeFi features and smart contracts into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Bitcoin Hyper’s project roadmap initially indicated that it could launch in Q4 2025.
However, delays have pushed expectations toward a Bitcoin Hyper launch date of Q1 2026 as presale conditions and market timing remain crucial. Meanwhile, the presale has drawn notable capital of $30.4 million.
Yet, some investors are watching closely to see if the Bitcoin Hyper launch date would shift again, like in the past. A delay could lead to a surge in selloff after launch as investors attempt to get rid of their holdings.
3. Pepenode remains sluggish after the recent launch
Pepenode is a meme‑coin token built on the Ethereum network. It blends crypto gaming with virtual mining, letting users buy and manage digital miner nodes to earn rewards without real hardware.
Pepenode has a unique mine‑to‑earn model where decisions in a browser‑based simulation influence how much miners earn. The presale attracted significant attention, raising $2.7 million. Although the project launched on January 8th, its growth momentum has been slow.
