Exploit in Flow hits execution layer. Global rollback generates criticism within the ecosystem. Revised plan isolates fraudulent tokens. The Flow blockchain faced strong backlash from partners and ecosystem operators after a $3,9 million exploit hit its execution layer, prompting an initial proposal to roll back transactions. In response to the criticism, the foundation responsible for the network decided to revise its remediation strategy to reduce the impact on users and connected infrastructure. The incident occurred on December 27th, when an attacker exploited a vulnerability in Flow's execution layer and diverted approximately $3,9 million in assets through multiple cross-chain bridges. Following the identification of the problem, validators shut down the network, while the Flow Foundation and forensic firm FindLabs stated that existing user balances were not accessed. Simultaneously, asset freeze orders were sent to major exchanges and stablecoin issuers. Investigators were able to identify the Ethereum wallet associated with the attacker and trace money laundering attempts using protocols such as Thorchain and Chainflip. As an initial response, Flow developers suggested a rollback to a checkpoint prior to the attack, which would erase hours of transactions and require users and infrastructure providers to resubmit operations. Related Stories No Content Available The proposal generated immediate concern among bridge operators. Alex Smirnov, founder of the bridge platform deBridge, warned that the rollback could create duplicate balances for some users, while others could suffer losses without a clear compensation mechanism. He also raised questions about how custodians and issuers would handle affected transfers during the rollback period. On-chain data showed that the network remained stagnant at a fixed block height for an extended period. In the market, the FLOW token registered a drop after the announcement of the exploit and the proposed rollback, while some centralized exchanges temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals. The total value locked in Flow also declined, before showing a partial recovery in the following 24 hours. Legal experts in the sector warned that a broad rollback could transfer losses to bridges and issuers, resulting in unsecured assets. In light of this scenario, the Flow Foundation announced a revised plan on December 29th, developed in conjunction with bridge operators, exchanges, and validators. The new approach abandons global reversal and focuses instead on identifying and destroying fraudulently minted tokens, preserving legitimate user activity. Dapper Labs, the creator of Flow, reported that it has reviewed and supports the updated plan, emphasizing that none of its users' balances were affected. According to the foundation, the network will be restarted in phases, with temporary restrictions only for accounts flagged by forensic analysis. Validators approved a software update that allows for targeted fixes, and Flow is back online initially in read-only mode, with a gradual resumption of normal operations. Tags: Feat Flow
Quick Breakdown Flow Network suffered a $3.9 million exploit, targeting its core protocol. Cadence Foundation proposes a full-state rollback to the pre-exploit snapshot, reversing all transactions. Move blindsides key partners, raising concerns over decentralization and user trust. The Flow Foundation has scrapped its controversial plan to roll back the Flow blockchain following a $3.9 million exploit. The initial proposal to revert the network to a pre-attack state sparked intense backlash from ecosystem partners, most notably deBridge founder Alex Smirnov, who warned that a rollback would cause more financial damage than the hack itself. Instead, the Foundation has moved forward with a “revised remediation plan” that avoids a network rollback, preserving legitimate user activity while isolating the stolen funds. Outcry over proposed “rushed decision” The drama began after an attacker exploited a flaw in Flow’s execution layer to unauthorizedly mint tokens and siphon funds through various cross-chain bridges. In response, Flow developers initially suggested a global rollback to a checkpoint before the exploit. Alex Smirnov, co-founder of deBridge, one of Flow’s primary bridge providers, slammed the proposal as a “rushed decision” that blindsided partners. Smirnov argued that a rollback would introduce systemic risks, potentially doubling balances for some users while leaving others with unrecoverable assets. He urged validators to halt operations until a coordinated plan was established. Strategic pivot to preserve network integrity. Following the industry outcry, the Flow Foundation shifted its strategy. On December 29, the Foundation announced it would focus on destroying the fraudulently minted tokens rather than erasing hours of transaction history. UPDATE: VALIDATOR CONSENSUS REACHED (MAINNET 28) To preserve network integrity and prioritize user safety, the Flow Foundation proposed a protocol fix (Mainnet 28) which has been accepted and successfully deployed by network validators. CURRENT STATUS: IDLE / READ-ONLY The… — Flow.com (@flow_blockchain) December 28, 2025 Dapper Labs, the original creator of Flow, publicly supported this revised approach, confirming that “no Dapper Labs user balances or assets are impacted,” including its own treasury. Gabriel Shapiro, General Counsel at Delphi Labs, had also criticized the earlier plan, suggesting it undermined the fundamental blockchain principle of transaction finality. Market impact and network status The security breach and the ensuing governance controversy have taken a heavy toll on the FLOW token. Data shows the asset plummeted approximately 42% since the attack, as investors weighed the risks of network centralization. While the network is transitioning out of “read-only” mode, the incident has highlighted ongoing struggles for the ecosystem. Once a high-profile Layer 1 competitor, Flow’s total value locked (TVL) currently sits at a modest $85.5 million, with its market cap falling outside the top 300 tokens. In related news, Autonomous AI agents have demonstrated a concerning ability to discover and exploit significant vulnerabilities within blockchain smart contracts, leading to theoretical losses in the millions. Using the specialized SCONE-bench benchmark, researchers demonstrated that advanced language models can efficiently identify both historical flaws and new zero-day vulnerabilities at low operational cost. This alarming development suggests the window for relying on manual security checks is rapidly closing, necessitating the urgent adoption of AI-powered defences to counter these evolving digital threats.

Flow halts after a $3.9m exploit, ditches a full rollback plan and opts for targeted token burns to preserve user activity and restore trust. Summary An attacker exploited Flow’s execution layer for about $3.9m via cross-chain bridges before validators halted the network and sought freezes from issuers and exchanges. A proposed rollback to a pre-attack checkpoint drew criticism from bridge operators and lawyers, who warned of doubled balances, unbacked assets and trust damage. Flow’s revised plan scraps a global rollback, targets fraudulent mints, phases the restart and restricts flagged accounts while preserving legitimate user activity. Flow blockchain’s proposal to reverse transactions following a $3.9 million exploit triggered opposition from ecosystem partners, prompting the network’s foundation to revise its remediation approach. Flow crypto moves along with cross-chain bridges An attacker exploited a vulnerability in Flow’s (FLOW) execution layer on Dec. 27, extracting approximately $3.9 million in assets through multiple cross-chain bridges before validators halted the chain, according to Flow Foundation. The foundation and forensic partner FindLabs stated that existing user balances were not accessed and that the exploit was contained, with freeze requests sent to major exchanges and stablecoin issuers. The attacker’s Ethereum wallet was identified, and investigators reported tracking laundering attempts through Thorchain and Chainflip. Flow core developers proposed a rollback to a checkpoint prior to the exploit, which would erase all transactions submitted during a several-hour window and require users and infrastructure providers to resubmit activity. The Foundation stated the rollback would neutralize unauthorized minting and restore the ledger. Alex Smirnov, founder of cross-chain bridge deBridge, said he learned of the rollback decision after its public announcement. Smirnov warned that reverting the chain could create doubled balances for users who bridged assets out during the rollback window, while leaving others who bridged in facing losses with no clear reimbursement plan. He called on Flow validators to halt transaction validation until the Foundation clarified resolution of these cases and how custodians such as LayerZero, the primary USDC custodian on Flow, would handle affected transfers. Flowscan data showed the network stalled at a fixed block height for an extended period. The FLOW token declined following the exploit and rollback announcement, and some centralized exchanges temporarily suspended transactions, according to market data. DefiLlama data showed Flow’s total value locked dropped after the incident before partially rebounding within 24 hours. Gabriel Shapiro, general counsel at Delphi Labs, stated the approach risked pushing losses onto bridges and issuers by creating unbacked assets. Smirnov argued that financial damage from a rollback could exceed the original exploit. Chain rollbacks remain rare in cryptocurrency networks due to concerns about reversing confirmed transactions and questions regarding decentralization. On Dec. 29, Flow Foundation announced a revised remediation plan developed in consultation with bridge operators, exchanges, and validators. The updated approach abandoned a global rollback and instead focused on isolating and destroying fraudulently minted tokens while preserving legitimate user activity. Dapper Labs, which launched Flow, said it reviewed and supported the revised plan and that no Dapper Labs user balances or assets were impacted. Under the new plan, the network would restart in phases, temporarily restricting accounts identified through forensic analysis as recipients of illicit tokens. Validators approved a software upgrade enabling the targeted remediation, and the network returned online in a read-only testing mode ahead of a phased restoration. The Foundation stated the majority of accounts would remain unaffected, with ongoing updates promised as normal operations gradually resume.
BlockBeats News, December 28, deBridge co-founder Alex Smirnov posted on the X platform stating that the Flow team has decided to roll back the blockchain and claimed to be in a forced sync window with key ecosystem partners (bridges, centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges). As one of the main bridge providers for Flow, deBridge has not received any communication or coordination from the Flow team, posing significant risk. Alex Smirnov stated that the hasty chain rollback could result in economic losses far exceeding the impact of the original attack, introducing systemic issues that would affect bridges, custodians, users, and counterparties who acted honestly during the affected window. Alex Smirnov urged all Flow validators to cease transaction validation on the rollback chain until clear compensation plans, ecosystem partner coordination, and security team involvement are established. Current RPC responses indicate that the Flow status has been rolled back but is not yet accepting new transactions.

Foresight News reports that the cross-chain interoperability protocol deBridge has launched a new DeFi execution primitive called deBridge Bundles. deBridge Bundles allow users to sign intents that describe the desired outcome, which are then executed by the protocol without the need for direct interaction with the blockchain. Bundles are also designed to simplify the application development process for developers, enabling them to focus on product logic and user experience, while the protocol handles complex custom utilities, retry logic, and execution scaffolding.
Jinse Finance reported that the cross-chain interoperability protocol deBridge Foundation has tweeted that the second season of deBridge Points claiming activity is now live. All eligible participants can now claim DBR. 300 millions (accounting for 3% of the total supply) will be distributed as part of the second season airdrop. The claiming window will close on December 19.
Warden is showcasing its potential as the next crypto AI dark horse from multiple dimensions. Written by: TechFlow The hottest topic in Crypto AI recently is undoubtedly the trading battle of the world’s six top AI models on Hyperliquid. Some people are copy-trading Deepseek, which has consistently performed well; Others are taking the opposite side, betting against the worst-performing GPT 5. Now that AI has become the absolute focus of future technological development, countless people believe that the next generation of the internet will be driven by AI Agents. Various AI Agents will penetrate every aspect of our daily lives, and billions of dollars in economic activity will shift to AI-driven agents. Behind the excitement of the six AI models’ melee is a grand spectacle of “AI capabilities”: In the crypto world, where returns are especially sought after, people are eagerly discussing whether AI can make money in rapidly changing markets. From a broader perspective, the question is whether AI can analyze, execute, solve problems, and even propose optimization solutions in specific scenarios. And now, as the performance gap between the six models widens, a more important question arises: When a new AI Agent is born, how can it be better discovered and used? As the market continuously produces new AI Agents, how can users more effectively choose the Agents that best match their needs? Furthermore, isolated Agents will always have their limitations. How can we break down barriers to achieve more efficient multi-Agent collaboration and solve more complex problems? The solution is no longer a single all-powerful AI, but a global AI ecosystem, which includes: A comprehensive economic model that encourages the use and creation of Agents and rewards contributions; An efficient matching platform that establishes precise connections between large-scale users and various types of Agents; And a universal coordination mechanism to promote multi-Agent collaboration, empowering AI with stronger problem-solving capabilities. This is the global Agent network Warden, a full-stack ecosystem built specifically for AI: By providing services that cover the entire lifecycle of Agent creation, distribution, trust, and monetization, Agents are no longer just tools but independent economic entities that operate, collaborate, create value, and earn revenue more effectively. Users are no longer overwhelmed and can truly enjoy the convenience brought by AI development. Former Binance Executives Launch Startup, Achieving Ten Million Users and Million-Dollar Revenue in Four Months Unlike most Crypto AI projects that are still in the conceptual stage, since the launch of Warden’s testnet and Warden App Beta in June, in less than four months, Warden has achieved impressive data performance in both user and revenue metrics. In terms of user numbers, Warden now has over 10 million total users, with more than 1 million weekly active users (WAU) and over 350,000 daily active users (DAU); In terms of trading activity, Warden has accumulated over 9 million Agentic Transactions, with 6 million on Solana and 3 million on Base; Most importantly, strong revenue performance is seen as a key indicator of a Crypto project’s long-term sustainability. Warden’s current total user annualized revenue has reached $1.7 million, with diversified income sources including Agentic transaction fees, cross-chain operation fees, AI feature subscription fees, and developer incentives. Real user-driven activity and real revenue have attracted more people to explore what makes Warden unique. But after learning about Warden’s team configuration, Warden’s impressive achievements become even more intuitively explained. Upon closer inspection, you’ll find that many of Warden’s core members come from leading internet and crypto companies, playing key roles in market growth. As Warden’s co-founder, David Pinger previously worked at Uber, gaining global operations experience, and later joined Binance as head of product and operations. With both Web2 and Web3 market operations backgrounds, David has developed a unique perspective on understanding user pain points. Luis Vaello is Warden’s Chief Operating Officer and was previously a regional director at Binance, responsible for expanding the Latin American market. His rich experience in developing emerging markets makes Luis well-versed in helping Warden penetrate global markets. Additionally, Josh Goodbody, as Warden’s Executive Chairman, is known for his expertise in regulatory compliance and marketing, and also served as Binance’s head of the European market. In the future, he will help realize Warden’s global Agent network vision in compliance frameworks and distribution channels. Several core members have long been active on the front lines of the market, giving Warden unique insights into user growth. From its inception, Warden clarified the core strategy of **“acquire users first, then open the platform”**: First, use the Warden App to demonstrate how AI Agents can enhance user experience and build a large, active user base. Then, open Warden Studio to support developers in easily building and deploying on-chain or off-chain Agents, enabling AI Agents to reach tens of millions of users upon launch, thus forming a closed-loop logic and realizing a prosperous global Agent network. Of course, market-side achievements are not only based on effective market strategies but also rely on solid products. On the technical side, Warden has also attracted top AI, blockchain, and security experts: Dr. Michele Dallachiesa is Warden’s Chief AI Officer and a former member of Google and NASA. Michele’s deep expertise in machine learning and distributed AI systems directly empowers Warden’s Agent collaboration mechanism. Dr. Andrei Sambra, Warden’s Chief Technology Officer, graduated from MIT and was a core member of Nillion and W3C. The tech stack designed by Andrei makes Warden a model of modular blockchain, driving the monetization and governance mechanisms of the Agent economy. Antonio Pitasi is Warden’s Chief Blockchain Development Engineer and a former Ignite/Tendermint member. As a core contributor to the Cosmos ecosystem, Antonio is responsible for optimizing the underlying on-chain infrastructure, ensuring Warden’s stable operation in high-concurrency scenarios. The technical team’s talent pool gives Warden outstanding capabilities in product design, development, and implementation, making the full-stack product matrix under Warden’s global Agent network vision clearer to everyone. **When we look down on the Warden ecosystem, we can see four clear layers:** Blockchain layer; Verification layer; Application layer; Big Brain. Following Warden’s “acquire users first, then open the platform” strategy, we can start from the user side to understand Warden’s overall product layout. As the super entry point for users built by Warden, the Warden App is not only the starting point for users to explore the Warden ecosystem, but also aims to be an “Everything in one” product dedicated to helping users solve any problem. As an AI assistant based on chat functionality, the Warden App has no barriers and continuously improves to provide a smooth experience. Users only need to input natural language, and Warden can help handle complex logic. To address the high barrier to entry in crypto, in its early stages, the Warden App focused on simplifying the crypto experience, offering services such as market research, investment analysis, token swaps and purchases, cross-chain bridging, staking, mining, airdrops, NFT design and minting, and integrating smart contract accounts and gas abstraction technology, greatly lowering the threshold for users to explore the crypto world. As the ecosystem develops and the Warden AI Agent network is implemented in more scenarios, the Warden App will gradually upgrade from a crypto AI wallet and assistant to a universal application connecting Web2 and Web3, solving all user needs from investment and financial management to travel planning and daily consumption. Currently, thanks to its outstanding advantages in enhancing the crypto user experience, the Warden App has rapidly accumulated tens of millions of users, and Warden has quickly transitioned from the “acquire users first” phase to the “open platform” phase. Warden Studio is the first step in Warden’s open platform. As a zero-code AI Agent creation studio, Warden Studio aims to attract more people with innovative ideas to join the ecosystem and quickly put their ideas into practice. Low barriers are a significant feature of Warden Studio. It provides all the tools and components needed to create AI Agents, including decentralized and verifiable reasoning, domain-specific large language models, verification systems, and covers the entire development, testing, and deployment process, supporting both on-chain and off-chain AI Agent creation. Even users with zero coding experience can quickly create their own exclusive AI Agent through Warden Studio. When innovation is unleashed and more AI Agents are born in the Warden ecosystem, they need to be better seen and used. This is where Warden Agent Hub plays an important role. As the core distribution and monetization layer, Agent Hub aims to achieve efficient matching between AI Agents and user needs. For AI Agents, they can reach Warden’s tens of millions of users on their first day online and continuously generate revenue by responding to needs, completing the transformation from tool to economic entity. For users, they can publish their needs and obtain higher-quality services at lower costs. When active economic activity is generated, the ecosystem needs a blockchain as the underlying foundation, playing key roles as the trust, coordination, and incentive layers. Warden Chain was born for this purpose. As a network built specifically for AI Agents, Warden Chain first solves the identity and payment issues of AI Agents by introducing the currently popular ERC-8004 and x402 combo: Warden Chain assigns each Agent a unique cryptographic identity, a unique on-chain identifier stored in the ERC-8004 identity registry, giving each AI Agent uniqueness on-chain for identity verification and request signing. Meanwhile, Warden Chain integrates the x402 payment protocol, further opening up payment channels on-chain and enabling seamless on-chain and off-chain transactions. The black-box problem of traditional AI forces users to passively trust AI outputs. Warden Chain, through the SPEX (Statistical Proof of Execution) mechanism, verifies AI output results and achieves on-chain traceability and immutability, further ensuring result authenticity and reliability, greatly reducing trust costs. Cross-chain interoperability is a key link for large-scale AI Agent collaboration and smarter output. Warden Chain’s design emphasizes modularity and chain-agnosticism, supporting Cosmos IBC for data and asset transfer between chains. Meanwhile, Warden has launched the AIBI interface, making it easy for developers to integrate AI into smart contracts, protocols, or platforms. Currently, it cooperates with 100+ blockchain networks, supporting rapid deployment and cross-chain collaboration. Most importantly, as a distributed ledger, Warden Chain honestly records every transaction and contribution in the Warden ecosystem and distributes rewards based on contributions through smart contracts. The native token $WARD serves as the core value carrier of the ecosystem. WARD has multiple utilities, connecting every interaction in the ecosystem, and the intrinsic demand from the ecosystem gives WARD a solid value foundation: Governance: Participate in community governance voting to ensure ecosystem development aligns with community interests; Payment: Unlock ecosystem features and rights, including paying transaction fees, app subscriptions, Agent publishing fees, etc.; Incentives: Reward ecosystem contributions; Staking and validation: Validators need to hold a certain amount of $WARD tokens. Thus, by connecting user entry, AI innovation, AI distribution, decentralized verification, and incentive allocation, Warden has achieved a closed loop from participation and creation to revenue. As more AI Agents are created, more users are attracted to join, bringing more active on-chain interactions and more rewards distributed, the Warden virtuous cycle flywheel spins even faster. Based on this flywheel, Warden’s core product Big Brain will also accelerate its arrival: As a protocol-based, domain-specific large language model designed for blockchain and crypto, Big Brain continuously learns from user interaction data in the Warden ecosystem, catalyzing AI Agent performance improvements and helping them handle complex tasks more intelligently, while rewarding contributors who help improve it. Big Brain’s core concept is “community-driven intelligence.” It is trained on interactions from over 10 million Warden users and 1T token data, enabling it to deeply understand on-chain actions, user intentions, and crypto strategies. In Web3 scenarios, its performance will far surpass most general-purpose LLMs. From Web3 to Web2: “Global Agent Network” from Concept to Implementation Based on Warden’s multi-dimensional product matrix, the dynamic cycle of “user intent input → AI execution and collaboration → on-chain verification → economic realization and incentives → more users and creators joining” empowers AI Agents as independent economic entities with stronger output, collaboration, value creation, and sustainable profitability, further enriching Warden’s application scenarios. Since 2025, several top protocols have joined the Warden ecosystem, including Uniswap Agent, Messari Deep Research Agent, Base Farmer Agent, deBridge Agent, Jupiter Agent, and more, covering DeFi, InfoFi, real-world consumer scenarios, and other sectors. AI**-driven DeFi optimization is a key sector in the Warden ecosystem and has achieved the most impressive results. By aggregating cutting-edge AI-driven tools, it greatly simplifies complex on-chain operations, turning users from passive participants into intelligent decision-makers.** deBridge Agent aims to achieve seamless cross-chain asset transfers with one click, supporting instant liquidity injection for 100+ chains; Jupiter Agent focuses on the Solana ecosystem, intelligently scanning for the best swap routes, optimizing fees and slippage, and helping users capture fleeting trading opportunities; Base Farmer Agent is a tool for users to capture yields on the Base chain. It not only provides seamless interaction but also automatically captures airdrop opportunities, maximizing the chances of qualifying for airdrops; Levva Agent, as a fully automated portfolio manager, can execute DeFi strategies in real time based on market fluctuations. It’s worth noting that as Polymarket and Kalshi lead the prediction market boom, Warden’s AI-driven prediction market products are also attracting attention: As a core self-developed product of Warden, BetFlix turns real-time prediction trading into light entertainment. Users can place bets with just a swipe, the entire process is extremely simple, and the minimum threshold of 2 U makes it accessible to the masses. It is an important way for Warden to lay out the prediction market trend, attract traffic, and continuously feed back into the ecosystem. In addition, the Warden ecosystem is also extending into multiple Web3 and Web2 scenarios: In market research, Messari Agent automatically generates Messari-style market research reports, helping users quickly understand projects and market trends; In the InfoFi track, Kaibot helps users analyze tweet performance for better “mouth farming”; In real-world application scenarios, Travel Agent will find and book hotel rooms and flights for users based on their preferences and needs… Based on Warden’s full-stack AI ecosystem, Warden has achieved powerful service capabilities for AI in various complex scenarios. As the next generation of the internet is set to be driven by AI Agents, in theory, Warden is capable of covering any scenario that AI intelligence can empower, including Web2 and Web3, on-chain and off-chain, encompassing DeFi, RWA, real-world consumer scenarios, and more. Of course, according to the ecosystem focus highlighted in official materials, we can also see Warden’s ambition and layout for promoting the comprehensive implementation of AI: Financial Agents: Simplify all complexities in DeFi, including asset swaps, cross-chain bridging, and gas abstraction. Autonomous Driving Agents: Build distributed non-custodial architectures for running autonomous driving Agents while users are offline. Institutional Agents: Manage investment portfolios in real time. Ecosystem Agents: Monitor network risks, filter proposals, and support governance. In the future, as Warden continues to strengthen ecosystem construction, it will further promote the vision of Warden’s “global Agent network” from concept to reality. Mainnet Launch in Q4: Efficient Interaction under Transparent Airdrop According to Warden’s official roadmap, the Warden mainnet will officially launch in Q4 2025, which also means the TGE is entering the countdown stage. It’s important to note that, according to the tokenomics, the initial total supply of $WARD is 1 billion, of which 10% will be allocated to the community for testnet and product interaction rewards. At TGE, 19.4 million tokens will be unlocked and distributed to early users. With a transparent airdrop, how can you participate in Warden more effectively and get more airdrop allocation? **On one hand, Warden’s Earn Rewards Program is ongoing,** users can accumulate PUMPs points in various ways. PUMPs points will be an important factor affecting airdrop allocation and will also unlock more ecosystem features and benefits in the future. After users create their own exclusive PumpKoin, Warden currently offers several ways to earn PUMPs: Deposit to Earn: Deposit any token from the Solana / Ethereum / Base ecosystem to earn PUMPs; Swap to Earn: Trade to earn PUMPs; Research to Earn: Complete Messari Deep Research tasks to earn 750 PUMPs; Refer to Earn: Invite friends to get a 10% PUMPs reward bonus… On the other hand, the third season of the Kaito Warden event is underway: The event officially started on September 1, 2025, and will continue until the airdrop claim phase in Q4. 2.5% of the total $WARD supply will be allocated for rewards in the three-season event. Participants can earn more rewards by completing tasks such as linking social media accounts, on-chain interactions, content creation, and dissemination. Conclusion In this cycle, as stablecoins, tokenized stocks, and institutional on-chain narratives fiercely compete for market attention, the crypto AI sector has shown strong vitality. Although the hype is not as high as during the AI Meme Summer, AI projects with solid fundamentals always stand out and bring surprises to the market and investors. Warden is showcasing its potential as the next crypto AI dark horse from multiple dimensions: Elite team configuration Product logic closed loop Multi-dimensional data performance in user, on-chain activity, and revenue Mainnet launch, TGE, and airdrop benefits From the trading melee of six AI models to the multi-sector implementation of the Warden ecosystem, the future trend of AI has become even clearer: from a technical toy in a closed model to an independent entity truly participating in economic activities and creating real value. The market will reward those who participate in ecosystem construction early. Of course, Warden is still in its early stages of development. With the upcoming mainnet, TGE, and the implementation of various product features, whether Warden will be the key force driving billions of dollars in economic activity toward AI remains to be seen as we continue to observe the project’s future performance.

This imbalance prevented the market from absorbing large sales, causing sharp price drops during the sell-off phase. The 7-period moving average (MA7) was recorded at $0.101539, placing the current price well below short-term averages. No data was available for MA25 and MA99 due to GAIN’s recent listing. Price movement remained under consolidation, hovering around the $0.02 level after the collapse. As of the latest update, GAIN’s market capitalization stood at $5.48 million on the Binance Smart Chain . The price showed minor stabilization around $0.023332 but remained significantly lower than peak values recorded earlier in the day.
GAIN token crashed over 90% after sudden minting 5B tokens were created and 147.5M dumped for profit Wallet bridged 2,955 BNB via deBridge post-sale Massive Mint Triggers GAIN Token Crash on Binance Alpha Griffin AI (GAIN), a recently launched token on Binance Alpha, faced a sudden price collapse of over 90% shortly after its debut. The crash occurred following suspicious on-chain activity involving a massive token mint and dump operation that shook investor confidence. 5 Billion GAIN Minted from Null Address According to blockchain data, at 7:04 AM (UTC+8), an address identified as 0xF3…8Db2 minted 5 billion GAIN tokens directly from a null address (0x00…0000) — a move that instantly increased the token’s total supply to 5.2985 billion. Such minting from a null address is a red flag, especially when it occurs without prior announcements or transparency. It raises concerns about the smart contract’s security or possible insider manipulation. 147.5 Million GAIN Dumped for 2,955 BNB Profit Shortly after minting, the same wallet dumped 147.5 million GAIN tokens on PancakeSwap, generating at least 2,955 BNB in profit — worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at current prices. The profit was then bridged via deBridge, moving funds potentially off-chain or to another blockchain to avoid detection. This event has all the signs of a rug pull or exploit, especially as the minting mechanism appears to bypass normal tokenomics. Griffin AI (GAIN), which launched on Binance Alpha yesterday, briefly plunged over 90%. On-chain data shows that at 7:04 AM (UTC+8) today, address 0xF3…8Db2 minted 5 billion GAIN from Null: 0x00…0000, increasing the total supply to 5.2985 billion. Shortly after, the address… pic.twitter.com/VUQ5qf4fGK — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) September 25, 2025 Investors Left Reeling Many retail investors who bought into the hype following the Binance Alpha listing were caught off guard. The GAIN token’s rapid plunge serves as a stark reminder of the risks of early-stage token launches, especially when smart contracts aren’t audited or transparency is lacking. Calls for investigation and delisting are already spreading across crypto communities, with users demanding answers from Griffin AI’s developers and Binance Alpha’s listing team.

Author: Zhou, ChainCatcher Original Title: Polymarket Hints at Token Launch, A Review of 10 Ecosystem Projects Polymarket has almost become synonymous with prediction markets. Public information shows that since the beginning of this year, Polymarket's monthly trading volume has repeatedly reached the $1 billion level, creating a significant gap with the second-ranked Kalshi. The project has not only received tens of millions of dollars in investment from Donald Trump Jr., but is also preparing to return to the US market and is advancing a new round of financing. The market even claims its valuation could reach $10 billion. Against this backdrop, a batch of third-party ecosystems has emerged around Polymarket, including data/dashboards, social experiences, front-end/terminals, insurance, AI agents, and more. On September 12, RootData included some representative projects in its "Polymarket Ecosystem Projects" collection, which will be introduced one by one in this article. Polysights|One-stop Analysis Dashboard Polysights is a one-stop analysis dashboard centered around Polymarket. Users can quickly filter topics and expirations, and the page simultaneously provides key metrics such as price/trading volume history, order book depth and spread, and capital flows. The built-in AI summary and arbitrage/trading indicators help identify mispricing opportunities within or across markets. The platform supports watchlists and instant alerts, and offers trader/market leaderboards. It compresses "topic selection, analysis, and alerts" into one screen, reducing page switching and manual comparison, making entry decisions faster and cost estimates more intuitive. Polymarket Analytics|Official Statistics Platform Polymarket Analytics is the official statistics platform launched by Polymarket. Users can search for markets or addresses to pull up trading volume, open interest, price/trade history curves, as well as profit and loss and position changes for addresses, and can export CSV files for review. The platform does not pursue flashy visualizations, but excels in complete fields and stable metrics, making it suitable for media writing, investment research comparison, and monthly/quarterly report production, as well as for data forensics and chart generation. Betmoar | Third-party Discovery/Monitoring Frontend Betmoar is a third-party discovery and monitoring frontend that aggregates Polymarket markets into a dashboard. Its homepage divides markets into four views: Movers (ranked by 1h/6h/24h/7d price changes and trading volume), Bonds (focusing on deposit/staking dynamics and risk capital changes), Disputes (markets in arbitration or judgment stages), and Comments (summarizing the latest comments and activity for each market). Users can filter with one click or sort by trading volume to quickly determine the hottest/newest events, but order placement still redirects to the official Polymarket page for completion. polycule|Polymarket's Telegram Trading Bot polycule is a Telegram trading bot integrated with Polymarket, allowing users to search markets, view key order book data, and directly place YES/NO orders within the chat window, making it more suitable for mobile light-entry scenarios. For new users, polycule has a built-in Solana → Polygon bridge (using deBridge), and can automatically convert small amounts of SOL to POL for gas, reducing the cost and hassle of initial participation. In May 2025, polycule issued the token PCULE, which currently has a market cap of about $14.75 million. In June, the team announced a $560,000 investment from AllianceDAO; in the same month, X and Polymarket announced an official partnership, boosting the exposure and distribution of prediction markets on mainstream social platforms. Such external traffic entry points also indirectly benefit tool-type products built around Polymarket. Polymtrade | Trading Terminal Unlike polycule, Polymtrade is a heavy-duty trading terminal for Polymarket. It uses a multi-panel layout, placing market data, order book/depth, orders, and positions on the same screen, and supports keyboard shortcuts and batch order placement. In addition, its order window displays estimated slippage and fees, and the combined view can be sorted by topic or expiration, making it convenient for hedging and grid management. The project's value lies in compressing the "view market—place order—adjust position" process into a few steps, making the Polymarket experience closer to that of an intraday exchange. Its token PM was launched in July, currently with a market cap of about $560,000. fireplace|Social Trading Information Feed fireplace focuses on the social experience of Polymarket prediction markets, presenting the latest trading activities of accounts followed by users on Polymarket in an information feed format, and allows commenting, replying, and copying of any trade. Polyagent | AI Assistant/Research Tool Polyagent is an AI assistant/research tool built around Polymarket, focusing on intelligence aggregation and analysis. The platform emphasizes using models + retrieval to interpret market conditions. The official announcement states that over 1,500 Polymarket markets have been indexed, providing search and chat functions, and recently launched features such as tag search. Its token POLYAGENT was launched on September 8, currently with a market cap of about $1.25 million. Polyfactual|Insurance + Arbitrage Dual Lines Polyfactual is a risk control and strategy platform for prediction markets. The official business is currently split into two lines: using part of the funds to underwrite abnormal market risks, and using another part to profit from price differences between two platforms. Insurance side (Project X): Issues tokens tied to specific event outcomes, with raised funds entering a "reinsurance/liquidity" pool. When a market experiences abnormal judgment/settlement, these funds provide protection for participants, essentially adding a buffer layer to the platform's judgment process. Token holders share premiums/returns according to rules, while also bearing corresponding risks. Arbitrage side (Project Y): By running cross-platform bots, it continuously monitors Polymarket and platforms like Kalshi. Once it detects price discrepancies for the same event, it simultaneously buys and sells to lock in the spread, and the resulting profits are distributed to POLYFACTS holders/stakers according to their holdings/stake ratios. Its token POLYFACTS was launched on September 2, currently with a market cap of about $4.26 million. Flipr|Strategic Trading Bot Flipr is a strategic Polymarket trading bot. Users can configure trigger conditions (price reached, spread narrowed, volume surged, keywords appeared, etc.) and execution rules (order quantity, slippage limit, batch entry/exit, auto position reduction before expiration), allowing it to run continuously in the background. For users who don't want to monitor the market but have clear rule-based trading strategies, Flipr can turn specific operational ideas into executable strategies. Its token FLIPR was launched on July 11, currently with a market cap of about $4.37 million. Billy Bets AI|AI Agent for Sports Scenarios Billy Bets AI focuses on AI agents for the sports sector. After selecting a league/team, the system directly summarizes recent performance, injuries, schedule, and market odds, provides probabilities and recommendations for win/loss/spread/over-under, and attaches links to related Polymarket sports events, allowing users to place orders with one click. The project's feature is connecting data and betting, making it a time-saving pre-game intelligence + execution combo for high-frequency sports users.

Solana (SOL) has recently experienced a notable price surge, rallying over 15% from $187 to $207.21 as of early September 2025. The increase has drawn attention from both retail and institutional traders, with many monitoring whether Solana will break through the critical $213 resistance level. This potential breakout could open the door to new all-time highs, with some analysts citing price targets as high as $300. The Solana network currently boasts a market capitalization of approximately $82 billion, representing a 41.73% annualized return since the beginning of 2024. Over the past week, the token has surged by 12.72%, underscoring its strong short-term performance. The on-chain dynamics of Solana also present a compelling case for further gains. The network has recently crossed a significant milestone, with tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) exceeding $500 million in value. This growth in RWAs highlights Solana's increasing relevance in bridging blockchain technology with traditional finance. Additionally, Solana's stablecoin market cap has expanded to $11.62 billion, supported by more than 11.2 million holders. These developments reinforce the platform’s role in facilitating stablecoin-based financial activities and cross-chain interoperability, as seen in deBridge’s recent integration of Tron into its ecosystem. This expansion of use cases and liquidity supports a broader narrative of Solana’s potential to drive real-world adoption and institutional interest. The technical outlook for Solana appears poised for a breakout, with several key levels in play. Analysts note that the $200 threshold has transitioned from resistance to support, acting as a crucial floor for the current rally. A sustained move above this level could set the stage for a test of $213, a level that has historically signaled momentum shifts. If Solana manages to push past this resistance, the next targets would likely be $238 and $260, with $300 being seen as a psychological high. The structure of the weekly chart suggests that the network has been forming higher lows, a sign of an intact uptrend. Analyst Lennaert Snyder emphasized that a confirmation above $213 would be a decisive signal for bulls, potentially unlocking a significant portion of the token’s upside potential. The broader market context also supports Solana’s bullish trajectory. Recent developments include a surge in institutional demand, with major crypto trading firms such as Galaxy Digital , Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital planning to raise over $1 billion for a Solana-focused treasury fund. Sharps Technology has committed $400 million to its Solana reserves, while Pantera Capital is seeking to launch a $1.25 billion Solana treasury vehicle. These moves signal strong institutional confidence in the platform’s long-term prospects and its ability to serve as a strategic asset for corporate treasuries. Meanwhile, the increasing open interest in Solana derivatives and rising total value locked (TVL) in its decentralized applications further reinforce the platform’s growing utility and demand beyond speculative trading. Looking ahead, the path to $300 will likely depend on the interplay between technical momentum and fundamental developments. If Solana successfully holds the $200 support and breaks above $213, the token could capitalize on broader market rotations into altcoins and ETF-related inflows. However, the market remains sensitive to whale distribution activity and profit-taking on exchanges, which could introduce volatility. A breakdown below $196 would likely trigger a deeper correction, potentially bringing the token back to key liquidity clusters between $160 and $180. These levels have historically acted as reset zones before stronger rallies, and a recovery from that range could align with broader market sentiment improvements. Overall, Solana’s current price action and on-chain fundamentals present a compelling case for further appreciation. The combination of real-world asset adoption, institutional treasury demand, and technical strength positions the platform to potentially achieve new all-time highs in the coming months. As the market continues to evolve, Solana’s ability to maintain its momentum above key levels will be a critical factor in determining its next major price move. Source:
The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) has been defined by its ability to democratize access to financial services, but its true potential lies in interoperability. In 2025, Tron's integration with deBridge marks a pivotal shift in how liquidity and stablecoin flows are aggregated across blockchain ecosystems. This move not only redefines Tron's role in the multichain DeFi landscape but also positions it as a critical on-ramp for emerging market adoption. For investors, the implications are clear: Tron's strategic expansion into cross-chain infrastructure could catalyze long-term token value and ecosystem capture. Liquidity Aggregation: Tron's New Frontier Tron has long been a dominant force in stablecoin processing, hosting nearly half of Tether's $81.4 billion USDT supply and facilitating over $23 billion in daily transfers. However, its true strength lies in its ability to aggregate liquidity across chains. By integrating with deBridge, Tron now connects to 25+ blockchains—including Ethereum , Solana , and BNB Chain—enabling instant, low-slippage transfers of assets and data. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on wrapped tokens (which introduce security risks), deBridge's architecture uses direct custody and authenticated messaging to eliminate intermediaries. This reduces counterparty risk while accelerating settlement times, making Tron a more attractive hub for cross-chain DeFi activity. The technical underpinnings of this integration are equally compelling. deBridge's high-performance bridging system allows for deep liquidity pools without the need for synthetic assets, while its deSwap Liquidity Network (DLN) operates on a zero-TVL model. This means cross-chain limit orders can be fulfilled peer-to-peer, bypassing traditional liquidity pools and custodial risks. For example, a user could swap TRON-based USDT for USDC on Solana in a single transaction, with Solvers competing to execute the trade at the best rate. Such innovations not only enhance efficiency but also align with the broader industry shift toward trust-minimized systems. Stablecoin Utility and Emerging Market Adoption Stablecoins are the lifeblood of DeFi, and Tron's dominance in this space is unmatched. With 99.2% of USDT supply processed on its network, Tron has become the de facto infrastructure for global stablecoin flows. The deBridge integration amplifies this role by enabling seamless cross-chain movement of stablecoins like USDT and USDD (Tron's algorithmic stablecoin offering up to 12% APY). This is particularly significant for emerging markets, where Tron's mobile-friendly wallets and low transaction costs have driven 327 million user accounts and 11 billion total transactions. Consider the case of a user in Southeast Asia seeking to stake USDT on a DeFi protocol on Solana. Previously, they would need to navigate multiple wallets and bridges, incurring fees and delays. Now, deBridge allows them to execute the entire process in one step, leveraging Tron's low-cost infrastructure as a gateway to global DeFi. This frictionless experience is likely to accelerate Tron's adoption in regions where traditional banking infrastructure is underdeveloped, further solidifying its position as a liquidity hub. Investment Thesis: Token Value and Ecosystem Capture For investors, the integration with deBridge strengthens Tron's investment thesis in three key ways: Network Effects and Token Demand: As Tron becomes a central node in cross-chain liquidity, its native token (TRX) will see increased demand for gas fees and staking. The growing volume of stablecoin transfers—$15 trillion processed on Tron by August 2025—suggests a self-reinforcing cycle of usage and value accrual. Strategic Partnerships: Collaborations with AEON (for in-store payments), Privy (wallet infrastructure), and USD1 (a new stablecoin) underscore Tron's expanding footprint in both DeFi and real-world use cases. These partnerships create flywheels of adoption that could drive long-term token utility. Composability and Developer Incentives: deBridge's IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) model allows EVM and SVM-compatible chains to connect to Tron without liquidity silos. This opens the door for developers to build cross-chain applications, leveraging Tron's user base and stablecoin activity. A thriving developer ecosystem is a key driver of token value in Web3. Risks and Considerations While the outlook is bullish, investors must remain mindful of risks. Competition from other chains like Solana and BNB Chain could dilute Tron's market share. Regulatory scrutiny of stablecoins and cross-chain protocols also poses a threat, particularly in jurisdictions with strict compliance requirements. Additionally, the success of deBridge's trust-minimized architecture hinges on the robustness of its validator network and slashing mechanisms. Conclusion: A Cornerstone of Multichain DeFi Tron's integration with deBridge is more than a technical upgrade—it is a strategic masterstroke that positions the chain as a linchpin in the multichain DeFi ecosystem. By aggregating liquidity, enhancing stablecoin utility, and lowering barriers to entry for emerging markets, Tron is not just adapting to the future of DeFi; it is shaping it. For investors, the combination of network effects, strategic partnerships, and composability presents a compelling case for long-term value creation. As the DeFi landscape evolves, Tron's ability to bridge chains and unlock new value flows may prove to be one of the most significant investment opportunities of the decade.
Foresight News reports that the cross-chain interoperability protocol deBridge has announced its integration with the TRON network. Users can now securely and quickly transfer TRC 20 assets between TRON and more than 30 other networks, including Ethereum and Solana, via deBridge. There is no need for cumbersome intermediaries or asset wrapping, unlocking liquidity worth tens of billions of dollars. The TRON network is the world's largest stablecoin circulation hub. Traditional cross-chain bridging solutions often face bottlenecks in speed, security, and user experience. The integration of deBridge provides users with "second-level settlement" and a Cex-like experience, unlocking new liquidity pathways for Tron DeFi.
deBridge, a leading cross-chain infrastructure provider behind the deBridge liquidity transport protocol announced today full compatibility with the TRON network. This integration unlocks new liquidity pathways and expands stablecoin flow activity on TRON’s expansive ecosystem of decentralized finance and payments, allowing users to move assets between TRON and any supported chain instantly. This technical milestone connects deBridge to TRON’s massive global user base of over 327 million user accounts which execute a daily transfer volume of over $23 billion, underscoring its capacity to support institutional-scale activity with the efficiency and speed required by the digital economy. TRON has seen notable adoption in emerging markets, supported by mobile-friendly wallets and strong stablecoin infrastructure. “As a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain with approximately 3-second block times and fast finality, TRON’s architecture aligns perfectly with deBridge’s real-time bridging requirements,” said Jonnie Emsley, CMO at deBridge. “We are thrilled to enable efficient cross-chain transactions that can now tap into one of the most active onchain ecosystems in the world.” The TRON network has become instantly composable with 25 other blockchains supported on deBridge, with three pillars facilitating full cross-chain interoperability, further enhancing the ecosystem’s ability to grow its user base: High-performance bridging: Users can transfer assets quickly to TRON and explore its dApps, with bridging designed for fast settlement, deep liquidity, and measures to help mitigate MEV and slippage. Transfers of authenticated messages: TRON can securely transfer messages via a decentralized infrastructure across all blockchains supported on deBridge. Secure asset custody: dePort, deBridge’s native bridge for assets, enables secure asset custody for users coming from the supported blockchains on deBridge. This allows projects or dApps to port tokens from any chain to enable utility in the TRON ecosystem. “With deBridge, users gain direct access to innovative new dApps, while developers can seamlessly build and integrate across TRON and the broader blockchain ecosystems connected through deBridge,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for the TRON DAO. “This unlocks new possibilities for cross-chain collaboration, enhances interoperability, and paves the way for more connected and dynamic Web3 experiences.” The collaboration between TRON DAO and deBridge marks a significant advancement in cross-chain infrastructure. As the network hosting the largest circulating supply of USDT, which accounts for over half of all Tether in circulation, TRON’s integration with deBridge is a key step toward enabling seamless stablecoin transfers across the multichain landscape. Any EVM or SVM blockchain ecosystem can connect to deBridge by initializing deBridge IaaS, a turnkey, subscription-based solution for interoperability.
