According to ChainCatcher news, the cross-chain protocol ZetaChain disclosed that the security issues involved in its recent vulnerability attack of about $334,000 were reported in advance by researchers in the bug bounty program, but were regarded as "expected behavior" by the project team at the time and were not addressed. According to the official incident review, this attack stemmed from a combination of three seemingly independent and low-risk design flaws: the Gateway contract allows anyone to send arbitrary cross-chain instructions; The receiver can perform calls to almost any contract, and the blacklist limit is too narrow. Some wallets have not been cleaned up for a long time. The attacker ultimately completed the asset transfer by combining these flaws by instructing Gateway to transfer tokens directly to its control address. ZetaChain stated that the attack involved a total of 9 transactions on four chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BSC, and the stolen funds all came from wallets controlled by ZetaChain, and user funds were not affected. Officials said the attack was clearly premeditated. The attacker funded the wallet through Tornado Cash three days before the crime, deployed a dedicated Drainer contract in advance, and also carried out an address poisoning attack. Currently, ZetaChain has begun pushing a fix patch to mainnet nodes, permanently disabling the arbitrary call function and changing the unlimited authorization mechanism in the deposit process to "precise limit authorization".

According to CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu, the net inflow of Bitcoin CEX surged to 9,905 BTC, setting a record for the largest single-day net inflow in the past 30 days, which also caused the price of Bitcoin to fail to effectively break through the resistance level. According to Woominkyu, the most worrying signal is the CEX Whale Ratio, which surged to 0.707 on April 27, the highest reading in over a week. This means that the top 10 inflow transactions account for more than 70% of all deposits – a clear indication that large investors are actively transferring tokens to CEXs, likely in preparation for distribution. Woominkyu believes that the combination of whale-led inflows and rising CEX reserves suggests that smart money is preparing to sell on rallies. Unless this part of the inflow is quickly digested, the likelihood of a retest of the $74,000 to $75,000 support zone in the short term is rising significantly.

According to ChainCatcher, the Lido research forum launched a new proposal to suggest that DAOs authorize the temporary lowering of the first loss protection trigger threshold for EarnETH vaults during the Kelp event. According to the current rules, Lido Earn's protection mechanism is only triggered when the vault loses more than 1% of the open position. However, the proposal pointed out that if the shortage of rsETH is solved through DeFi United, the actual loss may be less than 1%. To ensure that EarnETH users are fully compensated, the proposal proposes a one-time exception in this event, allowing first-loss funds to cover losses below the 1% threshold. Expect a loss of around 400 to 600 ETH at the current residual borrowing rate. The proposal emphasizes that this move is a one-time arrangement for user protection, brand reputation, and business considerations, and does not change the general rule of 1%. The proposal also has a time urgency, as the rsETH event is expected to be resolved within 5 to 10 days, compared to the standard voting window of 7 days.

ChainCatcher news that the game public chain Ronin announced that it will migrate to Ethereum Layer 2 on May 12, when there will be a downtime window of about 10 hours for on-chain operations, and normal operation will resume after the migration is completed. It recommends that users unstake RON before the migration date, or the system will automatically unstake the user after the migration is completed. The core goal of this migration is to allow Ronin to leverage Ethereum's security, data availability, and final settlement capabilities, while injecting mature on-chain gaming infrastructure into the Ethereum ecosystem. Ronin's role as the underlying network for well-known on-chain games such as Axie Infinity and Pixels is seen as a significant milestone in its ecological development. After the migration is completed, the annual RON inflation rate will drop from more than 20% to less than 1%, and the treasury will add ongoing revenue from staking, net income from Sequencer and Marketplace fees (from 0.5% to 1.25%).
