According to Jinshi reports, a logistics warehouse in Saudi Arabia belonging to the U.S. military was attacked by drones, and explosions were heard at the scene.

According to Slow Fog monitoring, the decentralized finance protocol Lien Finance was attacked. The attacker exploited a smart contract vulnerability to mint uncollateralized bond tokens and stole approximately $542,000 USDC.Using this vulnerability, the attacker successfully minted new non-anomalous BondTokens without destroying the corresponding input bonds and exchanged USDC through a pre-authorized address, ultimately transferring about 542,144.63 USDC from the victim's address. Analysis indicates that this incident was essentially due to a validation flaw in the bond token exchange logic, allowing the attacker to bypass asset collateral constraints and mint unsupported assets.

PPP prediction market tool monitoring shows that the probability of Polymarket's SpaceX Starship conducting its 13th test flight on July 24 has risen to 77%, up 16% in 24 hours; the probability for the 13th test flight on July 25 has risen to 83%, up 35% in 24 hours.SpaceX previously announced that due to weather reasons, the 13th test flight of the SpaceX Starship was postponed to July 24, but it is still uncertain whether the weather reasons still exist. SpaceX attempted the first test flight of the Starship on July 17, but due to some Raptor engines failing to start as expected, the automatic launch abort procedure was triggered, resulting in the failure of the first test flight. It is reported that SpaceX is currently fully "betting" on the Starship and has begun to refuse commercial Falcon rocket launch orders after 2028.

The B.AI API officially launches two models, Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. Among them, Gemini 3.6 Flash, as an upgraded version of 3.5 Flash, significantly improves output quality while maintaining the same pricing, with an average reduction in token consumption of about 17%. Especially in complex scenarios like DeepSWE, the maximum reduction can reach 65%, greatly enhancing development efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, on the other hand, offers ultra-fast output of up to 350 tokens/s and exceptional cost performance, precisely meeting the demands of high concurrency and high real-time tasks such as document batch processing and Agentic intelligent retrieval. Currently, both models have opened official API interfaces, allowing developers to log in to the B.AI platform immediately for a seamless experience and enjoy the performance benefits brought by the new generation of models.

According to Jinshi reports, Joseph Lavorgna, Chief U.S. Economist at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, stated that if the inflation rate does not slow down, Federal Reserve policymakers will lose their hard-earned credibility. He pointed out that in the past 70 years, there have only been six instances where the core inflation rate decreased year-on-year by 0.9% or more, and each time the inflation slowdown was due to the Federal Reserve tightening its policy.Lavorgna emphasized that the longer the Federal Reserve waits, the greater the probability that interest rates will rise above necessary levels.

Zilliqa stated that there is a serious random number generation vulnerability in the Zilliqa Ledger application, affecting the Schnorr signatures of native non-EVM Zilliqa transactions. Attackers can recover the signer's private key from the biased temporary random numbers using only publicly available on-chain data.Any account that has signed and broadcasted about 5 or more native transactions through the Zilliqa Ledger application should be considered compromised. Since the related signatures are permanently recorded on the chain, subsequent updates to the application cannot eliminate the risk, and the affected private keys must be deactivated. EVM transactions and development tools such as zilliqa-js, gozilliqa-sdk, and pyzil are not affected.The vulnerability arises from the application selecting the wrong 32 bytes when copying the random number, retaining 8 bytes of zero padding and losing 8 bytes of entropy, resulting in each random number having a maximum of 64 bits fixed to zero. Attackers can use 5 or more affected signatures to recover the private key within seconds using ordinary hardware. Zilliqa observed suspected active exploitation on July 19 and confirmed the root cause on July 21.Zilliqa has suspended native transactions to prevent further loss of funds and is preparing a revised application with Ledger. However, the revised version cannot protect the exposed keys, and affected users should not transfer assets on their own but wait for the official announcement of a coordinated disposal plan.

According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the Summer Fi vulnerability attacker has transferred most of the stolen funds. The attacker obtained 6.017 million DAI from the vulnerability on July 6 and has since continued to mix and transfer funds through Tornado Cash.Currently, two related addresses still have a small amount of funds remaining: the original wallet (0x7bf7...bdca) has 11.3 ETH (approximately $21,600) left, and the second wallet (0x46e0...eba7) has 282.9 ETH (approximately $543,500) left.

TRON recently officially released GreatVoyage-v4.8.2 (Pyrrho). The new version further enhances compatibility with Ethereum Pectra and the Osaka upgrade, adds CLZ instructions, secp256r1 signature verification precompilation, and migrates fastjson to Jackson, while unifying node monitoring metrics from InfluxDB to Prometheus.This upgrade further strengthens TRON's capabilities in smart contract compatibility, interface processing, node monitoring, and operational management. The official reminder states that this version is a mandatory upgrade, and node operators must complete the update by August 16, 2026, 23:59 (Singapore time) to avoid affecting block synchronization. The Event Plugin is also upgraded to v3.0; nodes using the official plugin must upgrade the plugin first before updating the node version; nodes using self-developed plugins should also complete adaptation as soon as possible.

The Polygon Foundation posted on the X platform that the Ithaca hard fork has been successfully deployed on the Amoy testnet and will go live on the Polygon mainnet at block height 50,185,000 (expected at 22:00 Beijing time on July 29).This upgrade aims to enhance payment reliability: automatic failover during rare stalls of block producers ensures smooth transactions, new protective mechanisms intercept transactions that may cause the network to slow down or become unstable, while providing node operators with clearer visibility to ensure seamless integration of underlying operations. All node operators are required to upgrade as soon as possible to ensure compatibility and network security.
