tea Protocol has officially joined Aerodrome Aero Ignition. Aero Ignition is Aerodrome's on-chain liquidity bootstrapping mechanism for new projects. The tea Protocol community vote will commence on May 28, with the $TEA TGE scheduled for June 4.As one of the core DEXs in the Base ecosystem, Aerodrome utilizes a veAERO voting mechanism, allowing the community to decide which projects receive greater liquidity incentives. As voting support increases, the $TEA liquidity pool will gain stronger liquidity backing, thereby enhancing trading depth, ecosystem exposure, and market activity.It is reported that tea Protocol is a Web3 infrastructure project reshaping the value system for global open-source software. It aims to address the long-standing issues "invisible contributions" and "non-distributable value" at the internet's foundation. In the AI-driven software era, tea Protocol uses on-chain mechanisms and a "Proof of Contribution" system to convert the dependencies, usage influence, and developer contributions of open-source software into quantifiable and verifiable network value, thereby establishing a sustainable incentive and trust layer for critical open-source infrastructure.

Bitget Wallet has announced the launch of its API management platform, now available free of charge to developers and institutional clients worldwide. The platform provides a full-stack API service encompassing same-chain swaps, cross-chain transactions, and real-time market data.Developers and institutional clients can now register for an account and apply for an API Key directly through the platform, gaining free access to Bitget Wallet's on-chain trading infrastructure without the need to build complex backend systems from scratch. Additionally, building upon its previous support for 7 public chains including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, and Morph, this launch adds support for HyperEVM and Hypercore. It also introduces cross-chain APIs, chain query and broadcast interfaces, and the NoGas feature, reducing transaction friction for end users. The market data API currently covers 33 public chains and over 200 mainstream tokenized stocks, and incorporates an AI risk detection module capable of identifying anomalous tokens, unusual transaction behaviors, and unstable trading routes.Built on Bitget Wallet's proprietary DEX aggregation engine, the API processes an average daily aggregated trading volume of over $20 million and carries approximately 80% of the wallet's core transaction volume. Currently, the API is deeply integrated with leading aggregators and solvers including 0x Protocol, LI.FI, CoW Swap, deBridge, Velora, and XO Swap. The launch of this management platform will further lower the barrier for developer integration, enabling more products to build everyday financial services on top of Bitget Wallet's on-chain trading infrastructure.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on X platform that although the U.S.-Iran conflict and inflationary pressures continue to pose challenges to the market, the altcoin market has recently begun to show signs of recovery. After experiencing an overall correction of over 50%, the altcoin sector is gradually regaining activity. This round of adjustment is not only affected by the BTC correction but is also related to market token dilution. Currently, there are approximately 51 million altcoins in the market, with 46% deployed on Solana, 36% on Base, and 10% on BNB Smart Chain. Recently, the overall performance of altcoins listed on Binance has recovered to levels seen since September 2025. Currently, about 21% of altcoins listed on Binance have reclaimed the 200-day moving average, compared to only 2% in February of this year that remained above this key technical level. Darkfost believes this indicates a gradual resurgence of market interest in altcoins, serving as an important signal for investors looking to allocate to altcoins. However, it is still too early to declare the start of an altcoin season, as market liquidity remains limited.
Coinbase announced the expansion of its on-chain crypto-backed lending product, adding Solana as a supported collateral asset.

Renegade announced that one of its legacy V1 deployments on Arbitrum was exploited this morning, involving approximately $209,000. As of now, white-hat hackers have returned around $190,000, and all affected users will receive full compensation. Renegade confirmed that the issue is isolated to the V1 Arbitrum deployment; all other deployments—including V1 Base, V2 Arbitrum, and V2 Base—remain unaffected. The team stated that infrastructure supporting V1 Arbitrum transactions has been paused, and integrators need not take any action, as there is no further risk to funds.
Wasabi Protocol released a security incident update, stating that the attacker exploited a Spring Boot Actuator configuration vulnerability in its AWS infrastructure to steal private keys controlling EVM smart contracts, and subsequently drained approximately $4.8 million in user funds and $900,000 from the protocol’s treasury—totaling roughly $5.7 million in losses. The attack chain originated from a public-facing analysis server whose Actuator heap dump was not properly password-protected, enabling the attacker to obtain credentials for another server and ultimately gain control of the smart contract private keys. This incident affected only EVM deployments—including certain treasuries on Ethereum, Base, Blast, and Berachain—while Solana deployments and the Prop AMM remained unaffected. No final user compensation plan has been announced yet; however, “ensuring all affected users are compensated” remains the team’s top priority. Updates on the investigation will be shared with the community via Discord.
Coinbase announced a “seven-figure” strategic investment in Centrifuge and selected it as the primary asset tokenization partner for its public blockchain, Base.

The two parties have previously collaborated—for instance, launching the first compliant onchain S&P 500 index fund on Base.
Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM) has announced the launch of its digital credit strategy, CUSHY, introducing a tokenized shareclass mechanism to bridge the gap between traditional credit markets and on-chain financial systems.

Built on Superstate's FundOS tokenization platform, it enables on-chain representation of fund shares and 24/7 trading capabilities, while supporting operations across multiple networks including Ethereum, Solana, and Base.
