Allbridge suffered a loss of approximately $1.65 million due to a flash loan attack, and the cross-chain protocol has been suspended

According to Decrypt, the cross-chain bridge protocol Allbridge has suspended its Core protocol due to a flash loan attack, with the attacker having stolen approximately $1.65 million in assets from the Solana stablecoin liquidity pool.According to analysis by blockchain security firms PeckShield and CertiK, the attacker borrowed $1.12 million in flash loan funds through the Solana lending protocol Kamino, and then manipulated the price mechanism within the Allbridge pool through multiple stablecoin exchange operations to exchange assets at a low price, subsequently transferring the funds across chains to an Ethereum address.During the attack, the attacker exchanged several thousand dollars in USDT to obtain approximately $2.24 million in USDC, and then bridged the funds to Ethereum for further dispersal. It is currently unclear whether some of the funds can still be recovered.Allbridge stated that the team has suspended the Core protocol for security reasons and has requested affected liquidity providers to withdraw their funds immediately. Due to the attack causing an imbalance in the liquidity pool, some traders profited from arbitrage opportunities. Allbridge has called on relevant users to return their profits, stating that the funds will be used to compensate affected LPs.The team indicated that there is no further risk to user funds at this time and will release a detailed incident analysis report after completing the investigation, while also planning to relaunch the Core protocol after removing the liquidity pool. This is the second time Allbridge has encountered a similar flash loan attack. In April 2023, the protocol's BNB Chain liquidity pool suffered a loss of approximately $573,000 due to a similar vulnerability, after which the project team stated that they had recovered most of the funds and adjusted the liquidity calculation mechanism.

first_img Relay Protocol Warning: The number of honeypot tokens on the Robinhood Chain has surged, and users' funds are immediately drained after purchase

The cross-chain interoperability platform Relay Protocol has issued a warning, stating that since the launch of the Ethereum Layer 2 network Robinhood Chain based on Arbitrum on July 1, a large number of honeypot scam tokens have emerged. After users purchase these tokens, they automatically disappear from their wallets, and the funds cannot be recovered. Relay Protocol clarified that this is not due to a breach of wallet infrastructure; users' private keys and other assets remain secure, and the malicious logic exists only within the scam token contracts themselves.The typical operation of honeypot tokens allows users to buy in but prevents selling through hard-coded rules, or automatically transfers funds to the attacker's wallet. Some users have reported that a certain token contract uses hidden storage mappings to bypass standard ERC-20 security checks to steal assets.Relay Protocol stated that it is blocking discovered scam tokens and verifying safe tokens, advising users to only trade tokens verified by trusted sources, to verify contract addresses before trading, and to test with small amounts of funds first. The platform pointed out that attracting scammers in the early stages of a new chain launch is not an issue unique to Robinhood Chain; similar situations have occurred with other L1 and L2 chains upon their launch.

first_img Brave releases BAT roadmap 4.0, introducing a new unified wallet and stablecoin payment protocol

According to the official blog, Brave officially released the Basic Attention Token (BAT) roadmap 4.0 on July 9. This update aims to address the new challenges brought by artificial intelligence and a cashless economy, fully integrating BAT, Brave Rewards, and Brave Creators into a transactional attention economy. The core initiatives of the roadmap include the launch of a new unified version of Brave Wallet that integrates traditional payment methods with self-custodied crypto assets, as well as the construction of a privacy payment protocol layer, BravePay, based on stablecoins, thereby providing foundational support for autonomous agent payment features such as x402 and Machine Payment Protocol (MPP) within the browser.In addition, the roadmap also plans several new products to expand the ecological boundaries. Brave plans to launch virtual and physical payment cards for Brave Rewards that support daily consumption and return BAT rewards, while also developing a new creator contribution protocol to ensure that creators receive micro-royalty compensation when their content is utilized by AI products. In terms of token economics, a portion of the net income generated from Brave Wallet's revenue features, payment cards, and the BravePay protocol will be directly used to repurchase BAT to support user rewards and ecological growth. With the advancement of the above new features, Brave will gradually phase out traditional advertising notification units by the end of 2026 and fully shift the user reward mechanism towards personalized offer walls and a new loyalty program.
