The Hyper Foundation announced that it will provide approximately $10 million in grants to developers affected by the USDH exit, to cover migration costs and support an orderly transition of the ecosystem. This round of funding will be allocated to affected HIP-1 spot deployers, HIP-3 perpetual contract deployers, HyperEVM protocol, USDH:USDC cross-chain bridge, and other ecosystem participants.Among them, migration grants are aimed at teams migrating USDH-related markets or deployments to USDC; while exit grants are for projects that choose to terminate USDH-related businesses, with amounts lower than equivalent migration plans, to encourage a smooth conclusion of the ecosystem. HIP-1 and HIP-3 grants are based on auction deployment cost estimates, while HyperEVM grants are assessed based on the scale of USDH TVL affected. All beneficiaries must complete migration or business closure by the end of July.On the user side, USDH holders need to operate according to the guidelines of each protocol and can complete the exchange to USDC through the spot market or HyperEVM path. The official has provided support for asset conversion with no fees or spot trading channels. The Hyper Foundation also stated that the USDH migration is progressing smoothly, thanks to the active cooperation of developers and the community, and expressed gratitude to the relevant builders.

Slow Fog stated that ZetaChain was exploited in an attack. Preliminary analysis shows that the root of the vulnerability lies in the lack of access control and input validation in the GatewayZEVM contract's call function. Attackers can use this to initiate malicious cross-chain calls and execute arbitrary operations to transfer funds on the target chain through a relay mechanism.Slow Fog mentioned that the attackers triggered the relayer to execute malicious calls by forging cross-chain events, thereby completing the theft of funds. Relevant attack transactions have now been disclosed.

ZetaChain announced that the GatewayEVM contract was attacked, but it only affected the internal team wallets of ZetaChain. The team has blocked the attack vector to ensure that no further funds are at risk and will release a detailed post-mortem analysis report after completing the investigation.Currently, as a precaution, ZetaChain has suspended cross-chain transactions. The investigation is still ongoing, and so far, no user funds have been affected by this attack. The current status can be tracked on the relevant page.

ChainCatcher reports live from the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, where Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a keynote speech. He defined Ethereum by two core functions: first, as a public bulletin board for applications to publish messages and data; second, as shared digital objects controlled by code, encompassing assets, NFTs, ENS, and DAOs. He emphasized that Ethereum's goal is not to compete with high-frequency trading platforms on speed, but to become the most secure, decentralized, and always-online trusted chain.Regarding the short-term roadmap, he introduced the account abstraction proposal EIP-8141, which natively supports smart contract wallets, quantum-resistant signature algorithms, and privacy protocols; in terms of quantum resistance, there are currently two signature schemes based on hash and lattice, and the team is significantly enhancing their efficiency through EVM vectorization.He revealed that ZKVM is fast enough to prove real-time EVM execution, with this year's goal being to ensure its security, planning to start deployment from a small proportion of the network, aiming to become the primary method of validation by 2028, allowing Ethereum to scale significantly without sacrificing decentralization. In terms of long-term vision, Ethereum is actively utilizing AI to generate mathematical proofs to formalize software security verification, pursuing complete quantum safety and maximum simplicity to ensure platform security does not rely on the continuous existence of any single team.

According to official news, the TRON network has officially passed Proposal No. 106 at 20:00 on April 10.According to the proposal, the mainnet has completed adjustments to the behavior and execution cost of the SELFDESTRUCT instruction: the contract will only be truly deleted from the chain when the instruction is called in the same transaction as the contract creation; in other cases, executing the instruction will only transfer the assets within the contract to a designated address, and the contract itself will not be deleted. At the same time, the energy consumption of SELFDESTRUCT has been adjusted from 0 to 5000.This adjustment means that TRON further aligns its relevant mechanisms with Ethereum, helping to continuously enhance the compatibility of TVM (TRON Virtual Machine) and providing more stable underlying support for multi-chain development and ecological adaptation.

The TRON network super representatives (SR) have initiated Proposal No. 106 and entered the committee voting phase. If the proposal passes the vote, it is expected to take effect on April 10 at 20:00 (Singapore time). The proposal aims to adjust the execution behavior and cost of the SELFDESTRUCT instruction: the contract will only be truly deleted if the instruction is called in the same transaction that creates the contract; in other cases, only the contract assets will be transferred, and the contract itself will not be deleted. At the same time, the energy consumption of SELFDESTRUCT will be adjusted from 0 to 5000.If the proposal passes, the relevant mechanism will further align with Ethereum, helping to enhance TVM compatibility. TRON reminds developers who have used SELFDESTRUCT to closely monitor the progress of the proposal and prepare for adaptation in advance. If nodes experience synchronization issues, it is recommended to first check whether they have been upgraded to v4.8.1.

According to monitoring by the on-chain security agency PeckShield, HyperEVM is suspected to be experiencing a major failure, as the block explorer page shows that the latest block and transactions have been stuck at "1 hour ago," with some blocks showing zero transactions, and on-chain data appears to have stopped updating.However, according to user replies, the aforementioned anomaly is actually a data delay issue with the block explorer itself, rather than a failure of the HyperEVM underlying chain------the top of the browser page even has a banner indicating "block data may be delayed," and other third-party explorers (such as Hyperscan) still show normal on-chain activity.

EY announced the launch of the Blockchain Privacy Sandbox, a web-based development environment designed to help businesses and developers experiment with privacy-preserving smart contracts on public chains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It is reported that this sandbox environment is based on the open-source technology Starlight, allowing developers to convert standard Solidity smart contracts into applications with privacy protection features while retaining the original contract logic, and providing exploratory, replicable, and modifiable sample projects to accelerate proof of concept development.Currently, the Blockchain Privacy Sandbox is mainly used for experimentation and validation, supporting businesses in assessing the feasibility of privacy smart contracts, testing functionalities, and validating application scenarios before officially integrating Starlight. EY stated that this tool lowers the technical barrier for conducting privacy experiments on public chains by providing an easy-to-use web environment. Starlight, as the underlying ZKP compiler, has been open-sourced, allowing developers to integrate privacy features through its GitHub repository. As businesses' demand for data privacy protection on public chains increases, the attention on zero-knowledge proof technology continues to rise. Relevant reports indicate that the global ZKP market is expected to reach approximately $7.6 billion by 2033.
