Odaily Seer monitoring shows a new prediction event on Polymarket: “Will US and Iran reach a permanent peace agreement before Trump’s visit to China?”. Currently, the probability of reaching a permanent peace agreement is temporarily reported at 7%.Previously, in mid-April, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that China and the US are maintaining communication regarding Trump’s visit to China, but there has been no recent progress on the matter.The settlement rule for this event is: If the US and Iran reach a permanent peace agreement before Trump’s visit to China, the market will be resolved as “Yes”. Otherwise, the market will be resolved as “No”.If, by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on December 31, 2026, neither a qualifying peace agreement has been reached nor has Trump’s visit to China occurred, the market will be resolved as “No”.A permanent peace agreement refers to any agreement that explicitly states that military hostilities between the US and Iran have ended or will permanently cease, or an agreement using similar wording that explicitly indicates the permanent end of military hostilities between the US and Iran. Agreements explicitly designated as temporary or that do not include the permanent end of military hostilities between the US and Iran do not qualify.A qualifying agreement is considered to have been reached if any of the following conditions are met:1. The United States and Iran each sign or formally adopt a written agreement (e.g., a treaty or multi-article agreement) that meets the criteria above.2. Both the US and Iranian governments publicly and explicitly confirm that a qualifying agreement has been finalized. Negotiations, statements of progress, or other final statements that do not constitute a finalized qualifying agreement will not be recognized.In this market, “visit” is defined as Trump physically entering the land or territorial waters of the listed country. Whether Trump enters the country’s airspace during the market period is irrelevant to the final outcome.The primary basis for determining whether a peace agreement has been reached is official information from the US and Iranian governments, but consensus from credible reports may also be consulted. The primary source for Trump’s visit to China is official information from the US government, as well as official information posted by Trump himself or his verified social media accounts. However, consensus from other credible reports will also be considered.Odaily Seer continuously follows the prediction market, seeing changes before the pricing.

LayerZero Labs co-founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino has responded to the KelpDAO-related controversy on the X platform, stating that most of the recent accusations surrounding KelpDAO are "completely untrue." He noted that Kelp initially adopted the default MultiDVN or DeadDVN configuration, but on-chain records show it was manually changed to a 1/1 configuration on April 1, 2024. The official documentation has repeatedly recommended using a 2/3 configuration for production environments.Bryan Pellegrino stated that the DeadDVN mechanism would reject transaction paths that have not been properly configured with DVN, preventing applications from running directly with default parameters. He also mentioned that the LayerZero team had previously provided clear configuration recommendations to KelpDAO. At the same time, he revealed that a comprehensive analysis report will be released after confirmation is completed by an external security firm.
: Bitcoin Core developers have disclosed a high-risk vulnerability numbered CVE-2024-52911, affecting versions 0.14.1 through 28.4. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by constructing a special block to remotely crash other nodes and execute code. The vulnerability was discovered and privately reported by developer Cory Fields in November 2024. The fix was merged in December 2024 and officially launched in the v29 release in April 2025.Currently, support for the last vulnerable version in the 28.x series ended on April 19, 2026.

According to chart analysis released by independent analyst Markus Thielen, Bitcoin’s price action in April followed seasonal patterns almost perfectly: its actual gain exceeded the historical average. Yet at that time, the market had not reached a broad consensus on bullish sentiment. While investor mood was cautiously optimistic, positions were not significantly increased; low trading volume and persistently negative funding rates indicated that many traders remained on the sidelines. Entering May, Bitcoin’s rebound above $80,000 caught numerous investors off guard—further confirming the market’s prior under-allocation. Historical data shows May is a relatively stable month for Bitcoin: over the past 10 years, its average return has been approximately 10.3%, with six years posting gains. Seasonal support remains intact—but whether positions will increase accordingly remains a key variable.

According to the official disclosure by Drift Protocol, all affected wallets impacted by the April 1 attack will receive Recovery Tokens—representing their verified losses and proportional claims against the Recovery Pool—where each Recovery Token corresponds to $1 of verified loss. The Recovery Pool’s initial funding is approximately $3.8 million, sourced from converting the protocol’s remaining assets into USDT. It will be further replenished through a portion of quarterly net exchange revenue, partner contributions, and up to $127.5 million in matching deployment from Tether. Once the Recovery Pool exceeds $5 million, users may begin redeeming Recovery Tokens; the redemption price will be calculated as the Recovery Fund’s value divided by the outstanding supply of Recovery Tokens. Drift stated that the Insurance Fund was unaffected by the attack; any release of related funds requires governance proposals and DAO voting. The exchange plans to relaunch in Q2 2026, focusing primarily on perpetual contracts and a select set of markets. Additionally, it will replace its programs and addresses, rotate keys, reconstruct its community multisig, remove durable nonces and the Earn product, and implement operational security upgrades.
