According to the latest report from GoPlus, in January 2026, the economic losses caused by major security incidents in Web3 reached $414 million. The types of security events include smart contract vulnerabilities, social engineering attacks, phishing attacks, honeypots, rug pulls, and more.Among these, exploits (including contract attacks, social engineering fraud, private key leaks, etc.) caused losses of $375 million due to 20 major incidents. The total losses from phishing attacks amounted to approximately $20 million, with around 5,000 victims. In the same month, 390 new honeypot tokens were detected on ETH, Base, and BSC, a decrease compared to December.

Web3 security company Certora announced that it has received funding from the Ethereum Foundation, with the specific amount not disclosed. The funding will be used to support the verification of the correctness of its automatic precompilation, which is a key optimization technique in zero-knowledge computation developed by Powdr Labs for the Ethereum Foundation's zkEVM project. It is reported that Certora plans to open source its developed specifications, proofs, and verification framework.

Web3 security company ExVul uses the RootData API to regularly obtain new project data, combining it with ExVul's security algorithms for automated risk assessment and prioritization, identifying potential security risks in projects ahead of time, and helping project teams complete security enhancements before launch.Currently, the RootData API has over 200 cumulative partners, including well-known partners covering numerous scenarios such as the Ethereum Foundation, OKX Wallet, Blockworks, CMT Digital, Amber Group, TechFlow, BlockBeats, Mask Network, Token Pocket, and more.

According to community user records, Multicoin co-founder Kyle Samani stated yesterday in response to X user Taran (@Taran_ss) regarding the "bear market complaints":"Cryptocurrency is not as interesting as many people (including myself) once imagined. I used to believe in the vision of Web3 and in dApps. Now I don't. Blockchain is essentially just an asset ledger. They will reshape finance, but that's about it, nothing much more. DePIN is another noteworthy area. Cryptocurrency will continue to improve, but all the truly interesting questions have already been answered, except for the issue of on-chain privacy/confidentiality. (I still firmly believe that Zama will win this race.)"Shortly after, Kyle quickly deleted the tweet and earlier today posted a resignation announcement, stating that he has decided to step down from Multicoin Capital and will continue to serve as the chairman of Forward Industries (the largest SOL treasury company), looking forward to taking a break and exploring new directions in the tech field.Kyle also tweeted in response that he remains extremely bullish on SOL and cryptocurrency personally, and will continue to participate in the cryptocurrency space both as an individual and as the chairman of Forward.However, Multicoin Capital's letter to LPs may further validate the notion that "Kyle is no longer interested in crypto." The letter states, "Kyle's interests have expanded from cryptocurrency to other tech fields such as artificial intelligence, life sciences, and robotics, and he has decided to invest time in exploring these emerging technologies."

According to the token unlock data from the Crypto asset data platform RootData, B3 (B3) will unlock approximately 1,139,200 tokens on February 10 at 13:00 Beijing time, worth about 7.24 million USD.

HodlAI proposes a new usage model for AI services, where users do not need to prepay or pay per use, but instead unlock daily AI API call quotas based on the amount of tokens they hold. The tokens are kept in personal wallets, and the quotas refresh daily, covering over 200 models including GPT-5, Claude 4.5, and Gemini 3.The funding source for this model is on-chain transaction taxes. HodlAI charges a 3% tax on each transaction and injects all funds into the API funding pool, which is then allocated based on the holding ratio. The more active the trading, the more abundant the funding pool, and the available quota increases accordingly.To prevent short-term arbitrage, HodlAI introduces a quota release mechanism based on the holding time of tokens. The longer the holding time, the higher the available quota, and addresses with a history of selling will have their quota limits restricted. The holding duration is verified through on-chain data and cannot be tampered with.In terms of transparency, HodlAI publishes all API recharge records and provides a third-party billing verification method, with the team committing to zero commission. Within two days of the project's launch, the total tax revenue exceeded $65,000, while the total API fees were less than $1,000.

BlockSec, in collaboration with Bitget, has released a research report titled "AI × Trading × Security: The Evolution of Risks in the Era of Intelligent Trading 3.0." The report systematically analyzes how AI capabilities evolve and their integration with Web3, exploring how AI reshapes trading efficiency and decision-making logic in Web3. It further discusses the evolutionary trends of offensive and defensive patterns in Web3 during the AI era and the new paradigms of security. Additionally, the report outlines the application directions and real challenges of AI in the Web3 security system from the perspectives of risk control, anti-money laundering, and risk identification.In the specific case analysis, the report takes Bitget's GetAgent as an example, pointing out that it leans more towards a general trading information and advisory tool. GetAgent is not a traditional conversational bot but rather a "second brain" for traders in complex liquidity environments. Its core logic lies in the deep integration of AI algorithms and real-time multidimensional data, creating a complete closed loop that connects data, strategies, and trade execution to assist users in making more effective decisions in high-frequency, multi-variable market environments.The report concludes by stating that the deep integration of Web3 and AI has become an important trend in industry development, while security, risk control, and compliance capabilities are the key foundations for sustaining this trend. The report emphasizes the need for different institutions within the industry to collaborate in advancing technology, governance, and security standards to jointly promote the healthy and sustainable development of the intelligent trading era.

According to official news, the globally leading cryptocurrency trading platform Gate has completed the brand upgrade and functional update of its decentralized trading product, officially renaming the former Gate Web3 to Gate DEX. This upgrade is not only a change in name but also a systematic reconstruction of the positioning of decentralized trading entry, product capabilities, and overall user experience under the Gate All in Web3 strategic framework.The upgraded Gate DEX significantly simplifies the traditional DEX login process, now supporting one-click login with Gate accounts, Google accounts, and wallets, enabling quick access across multiple platforms. Users can quickly enter the trading interface without cumbersome configurations, and after connecting their wallets, they can directly start trading, significantly lowering the entry barrier for first-time users. In terms of experience, Gate DEX provides a trading experience close to that of centralized exchanges in aspects such as interface design, token coverage, and liquidity depth, laying a solid foundation for the large-scale application of decentralized trading.Meanwhile, Gate DEX will launch the "On-chain All-round Challenge" from January 23 to February 11 (UTC+8). During the event, users who complete their "first trade" in any section of Swap, Meme, Spot, or Contracts can unlock a cash reward of up to 100 USDT. The total prize pool for the event is 20,000 USDT, with limited spots available on a first-come, first-served basis.As the Gate All in Web3 strategy continues to deepen, Gate DEX, relying on the continuous empowerment of underlying ecological capabilities such as Gate Layer, is expected to become an important hub connecting centralized and decentralized trading experiences, further promoting the maturity and popularization of Web3 infrastructure.

According to official news, Gate held an AMA on January 22 on its official Chinese X channel, where founder and CEO Dr. Han was the speaker and shared his core judgments on the next phase of industry evolution. Dr. Han pointed out that the so-called Intelligent Web3 is not simply about adding AI functions, but rather about transforming complex processes such as cross-chain, wallets, Gas, and risk control into "usability" through systematic and automated means, allowing Web3 to truly move towards a more controllable, predictable, and long-term usable infrastructure.Dr. Han further stated that the essence of intelligence lies in reducing users' reliance on subjective judgment, forming systematic capabilities in risk alerts, transaction execution, and asset management, and promoting Web3 from short-term trading tools to a long-term entry point covering asset management, payments, and real-world scenarios. He also emphasized that the key to future competition in Web3 will be continuous and stable operational capabilities, rather than singular innovations.On the product front, Gate has launched the AI market assistance tool GateAI, which is fully integrated into the Gate App. This tool helps users understand market changes more efficiently by structurally analyzing market elements, risk ranges, and operational paths. The official statement indicated that GateAI will gradually evolve into a comprehensive intelligent assistant covering information understanding, risk awareness, and trading collaboration, becoming an important part of its Intelligent Web3 strategy.
