According to disclosures from the GoPlus Chinese community, the prediction market platform Polymarket was hacked due to a design flaw in the synchronization mechanism between off-chain and on-chain trading results in its order system.The attacker manipulated the nonce, causing on-chain matched trades to be canceled or invalidated before execution, while off-chain records remained valid, leading to API false reports that affected trading behaviors of bots like Negrisk, resulting in user losses. The analysis of the attack process is as follows:The attacker submitted/matched large reverse trades with the market-making bot on the Polymarket off-chain orderbook.The attacker constructed transactions with forged/repeated nonces or utilized on-chain nonce competition, causing the on-chain transactions to inevitably revert.The Polymarket API returned "transaction successful" to the bot before on-chain confirmation, leading the bot to believe that the position had been hedged, while the actual on-chain state had not changed.The attacker then executed real on-chain trades to take advantage of the direction exposed by the bot, thus profiting "risk-free."Since the revert occurred at the chain level, Polymarket fees would not explode, making the attack cost controllable and executable continuously.GoPlus recommends that users pause automated trading tools, verify on-chain trading statuses, enhance wallet security, and closely monitor official announcements from Polymarket.

According to market news, Grayscale pointed out in its latest research report that Bitcoin's recent price movements are highly correlated with technology stocks, rather than safe-haven assets like gold.The report's analysis shows that over the past 12 months, Bitcoin's price has been closely linked to the performance of overvalued software company stocks. When the market sold off tech stocks due to concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on traditional software services, Bitcoin also declined. This indicates that current investors view it more as a growth asset driven by market confidence and risk appetite, rather than as a "digital gold" that can withstand volatility.Grayscale believes that while Bitcoin possesses long-term value storage characteristics such as limited supply and a decentralized network, it is still in the early stages of proving itself as a global monetary asset compared to gold, which has a currency history of thousands of years. Recently, when gold and silver prices rose, Bitcoin did not show the same trend, but instead fell in line with high-risk growth assets.

Arthur Hayes posted on social media that the liquidity of the dollar has decreased by about $300 billion over the past few weeks, mainly due to an increase of $200 billion in the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA). The government may be raising cash reserves to ensure spending in preparation for a potential shutdown. In this context, the decline in Bitcoin is not surprising, as it is in sync with the contraction of dollar liquidity.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded to a creator's question, "How can I publish content on two platforms without duplication? If I post content on the Base App, will it also show up on my Zora profile?"The reply stated, "You can choose any publishing platform you like, but it's recommended to publish directly on the Base App. Since it uses the same decentralized protocol, the content will automatically sync to platforms like Zora without creating duplicate content."

ZKsync founder Alex (@thealexgluchowski) released the "ZK Token Proposal Part I," proposing a significant update to the ZK token economic model, with the core mechanism being that all revenue generated by the network will be used to buy back and burn ZK tokens.Alex stated that in the future, ZK tokens will no longer be limited to governance purposes but will have actual value capture functionality. The sources of network value include: all of this revenue will flow into a governance-controlled mechanism for ZK buybacks and burns, staking rewards, and ecosystem development funds.
