Сообщение ChainCatcher, ZetaChain объявила, что с переходом на частный уровень памяти, ориентированный на ИИ, она постепенно закроет старую кросс-чейн инфраструктуру и сосредоточится на новых направлениях, таких как Anuma, а также собственная память пользователей, идентичность, права, платежи и Делегат.Согласно плану, ZetaChain закрыла возможность пополнения платформы 1 июня 2026 года и открыла финальное окно для вывода средств. Ранее, 27 апреля, ZetaChain была атакована, и злоумышленники использовали уязвимость в кросс-чейн системе сообщений, чтобы украсть 333,868 долларов из трех внутренних кошельков команды.

According to Cointelegraph, the cross-chain protocol ZetaChain disclosed that the security issues involved in its recent approximately $334,000 vulnerability attack event had been reported in advance by researchers in the bug bounty program but were deemed "expected behavior" by the project team at that time and were not addressed.According to the official incident review, this attack originated from a combination of three design flaws that initially appeared to be independent and low-risk: the Gateway contract allowed anyone to send any cross-chain instructions; the receiving end could execute calls on almost any contract, and the blacklist restrictions were too narrow; some wallets retained unlimited approvals for a long time without being cleared. The attacker ultimately combined these flaws to instruct the Gateway to transfer tokens directly to their controlled address, thus completing the asset transfer.ZetaChain stated that this attack involved 9 transactions across four chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BSC, with the stolen funds all coming from wallets controlled by ZetaChain, and user funds were not affected. The official noted that the attack showed clear premeditation. The attacker funded the wallet through Tornado Cash three days before the attack and deployed a dedicated Drainer contract in advance, while also implementing an Address Poisoning attack.Currently, ZetaChain has begun pushing repair patches to the mainnet nodes, permanently disabling the arbitrary call function and changing the unlimited approval mechanism in the deposit process to "exact amount authorization."

ZetaChain official announcement, on the 27th, encountered a premeditated targeted attack. The attacker used Tornado Cash to recharge funds and forged wallet addresses. Cross-chain ZETA transfers were not affected. All affected user funds were not impacted ------ all affected wallets are controlled by ZetaChain. The mainnet patch has been deployed, and cross-chain transactions will be re-enabled after continuous monitoring.

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.

According to official news, ZetaChain has announced the official launch of the AI interoperability layer ZetaChain 2, along with the release of the privacy-centric large model aggregation application Anuma.ZetaChain 2 is a brand new AI interoperability layer designed to help developers build applications and agents that can operate across AI models, enabling global monetization without the need for backend infrastructure while preserving private user context. ZetaChain 2 consists of two core components: the AI Portal and the Private Memory Layer.The AI Portal serves as a unified routing and execution layer, allowing applications to access multiple AI model providers without being locked in, and includes support for availability, fallback, and cost/performance optimization. The Private Memory Layer is a protocol-level memory system that protects user context through encryption and access control, allowing experiences to persist across sessions while maintaining user control over the access scope of applications and agents.Anuma is the first consumer-level AI application based on ZetaChain 2, currently in beta testing and has launched a public waitlist, allowing users to apply for early access through the public waitlist. The product integrates multiple leading AI models in a single experience, enabling users to switch between different models without losing context, and is designed to keep memories private and under user control.

ChainCatcher message, the ZetaChain status page updated at 12:23: "The cause has been identified, the network interruption was due to a consensus failure caused by a new update rolled out to a small number of validators.We believe we have identified the root cause of the consensus failure and will provide a more detailed root cause update after reproducing the issue on the development network. The current top priority is to restore normal network operation. We have rolled back the managed validators to version v20.0.5 of the node software and have asked community members to do the same. Most members of the community have completed this action, and currently about 60% of participants are using the correct version of the software. A few validators are unable to participate in voting after attempting to run the version (v20.0.6) that caused the consensus interruption and are currently resynchronizing from a snapshot.Once these remaining validators complete synchronization, we expect the network to resume operation. We will provide another update in 60 minutes and hope the network can return to normal before then."Previous message, the ZetaChain mainnet has paused block production. As of now, the ZetaChain mainnet has been paused for 6 hours.

ChainCatcher news, ZetaScan data shows that the ZetaChain mainnet has paused block production for 4 hours, with the latest transaction remaining at block 5529896 (Beijing time today at 11:32:15).In addition, the ZetaChain status page indicates that an issue on the ZetaChain mainnet is under investigation, which has caused block production on the network to stop.
