gaming-focused blockchain Ronin has announced its migration to an Ethereum Layer 2 network on May 12. The underlying architecture will utilize the OP Stack and integrate EigenDA as the data availability layer. Chain operations are expected to be paused for approximately 10 hours during the migration. The team advises users to unstake their RON in advance or allow the system to handle it automatically after the migration is complete.Following the upgrade, RON's annual inflation rate is projected to decrease from over 20% to less than 1%. Additionally, the treasury will gain new revenue streams from staking rewards, Sequencer net profits, and Marketplace fees. Furthermore, Ronin has introduced a "proof of allocation" incentive mechanism based on "Builder Score," distributing RON rewards to ecosystem builders on a monthly basis.
According to an official announcement by Tropykus, the decentralized lending protocol Tropykus has initiated a phased shutdown of its current protocol version. Deposit and lending functionalities will be permanently discontinued. Users may withdraw funds and repay loans via tropykus.com until the deadline of July 27, 2026; thereafter, such operations will only be supported through direct interaction with smart contracts. The team stated that this shutdown decision stems from long-term strategic evolution—not from the security report previously received by Money on Chain, a partner of Tropykus. That report had prompted the protocol to proactively suspend deposits and new lending activities. However, the team emphasized that internal discussions regarding the shutdown predated the security incident, and the incident merely accelerated the decision. Technically, the team noted that the original architecture was designed for an earlier technological environment and is no longer capable of meeting long-term development needs in the face of emerging security challenges posed by technologies such as artificial intelligence. The team advises all users to complete withdrawals and settle their lending positions via tropykus.com before July 27, 2026. After this date, users will need technical proficiency to interact directly with smart contracts to perform these operations.
According to The Block, TON Tech—the infrastructure team under The Open Platform—has announced the launch of an AI-powered autonomous trading agent that supports independent on-chain actions on the TON blockchain, including transfers, token swaps, DeFi operations, automated trading, staking, and basic portfolio management—all without requiring users to surrender their private keys.

The official statement confirmed that the attack vector has been blocked and no further funds are currently at risk. As a precautionary measure, ZetaChain has suspended cross-chain transactions. Meanwhile, the investigation remains ongoing; according to the official statement, no user funds have been affected by this incident, and a detailed post-mortem report will be released upon completion of the investigation.
According to CoinDesk, Fidelity Digital Assets released its “Q2 Signals Report 2026” on April 28, noting that although the crypto market as a whole remained in consolidation during early Q2, several underlying metrics have already shown signs of stabilization. The report states that Bitcoin’s dominance continues to rise, capital is flowing steadily into the most liquid assets, and both the unrealized profit level and momentum indicators align with characteristics typical of a correction phase—potentially laying the groundwork for a more stable market structure going forward. Meanwhile, network usage for Ethereum and Solana has diverged from their respective price trends, suggesting robust demand at the protocol layer. The report also notes that Bitcoin futures continue to exhibit negative funding rates; research firm 10x interprets this as reflecting institutional structural hedging behavior—not a broad bearish signal.
A research report released by a16z Crypto states that stablecoins have evolved from niche trading tools into the foundational layer of a new global financial infrastructure, giving rise to a new generation of “Banking-as-a-Service” (BaaS) models. Unlike the previous wave of BaaS, this new model is built on onchain infrastructure and integrates account management, payments, foreign exchange, and credit functions via self-custodial wallets—significantly reducing reliance on traditional intermediaries. The report classifies blockchains into three categories: general-purpose public chains (e.g., Solana and Ethereum), purpose-built chains optimized for payment use cases (e.g., Stripe’s Tempo and Circle’s Arc), and compliance-focused networks designed for regulated institutions (e.g., Canton). On the regulatory front, following the passage of the GENIUS Act, stablecoin issuers are competing aggressively for national trust charters from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), aiming to gain direct access to the Federal Reserve’s payment rails and secure a central position within the payments stack. The report also notes that stablecoins have made significant progress in the “middle mile” of cross-border payments; however, liquidity bottlenecks between stablecoins and local fiat currencies remain unresolved in emerging markets. Looking ahead, as stablecoin scale grows, the onchain credit market is poised to become the next major opportunity after payments—providing capital to borrowers underserved by traditional financial systems. Moreover, the widespread adoption of stablecoins is expected to further reinforce the U.S. dollar’s global dominance.
According to an official announcement, the on-chain burn of GateToken (GT) for the first quarter of 2026 has been officially completed, with a total of 2,557,729.381387 GT transferred to the burn address, representing a burn value exceeding $20.68 million.Since the launch of the Gate Chain mainnet in 2019, GT has maintained a continuous burn mechanism. To date, a total of 187,377,156 GT have been burned, with a cumulative burn value exceeding $1.382 billion (at current prices). The total token supply has been significantly reduced by approximately 62.46% from its initial 300 million tokens.With the launch of Gate Layer and the gradual rollout of native applications such as Gate Perp DEX, Gate Fun, and Meme Go, the utility frequency of GT, the sole Gas token for Gate Layer, has been continuously increasing. Concurrently, Gate is driving the coordinated development of infrastructure and applications including Gate for AI Agent, GateClaw, Gate.AI, and GateRouter, leading to a simultaneous increase in on-chain transaction and interaction demand. Gate will continue to implement its long-term, stable GT burn mechanism, fostering a tighter positive feedback loop between the token's economic model and real usage demand alongside ecosystem expansion.
According to the official announcement, Upbit will list XCN/KRW and XCN/USDT trading pairs.
The core AI suite of the FLOA ecosystem, FloaClaw, has been officially launched in full, simultaneously releasing a multi-scenario AI skills matrix. These features are only accessible to Agents of Level 3 and above.As the core AI tool of the FLOA ecosystem, FloaClaw's usage requires adherence to clear rules: Users need to recharge BNB to obtain compute power-tokens (tokens), with skill consumption increasing along with task complexity; subsequently, FloaClaw will continue to iterate and scale, unlocking more new AI skills and tool modules, while also advancing a creator dividend system. This will allow Agent creators to share in the compute power-token (token) revenue from user skill consumption, and support one-click exchange and withdrawal of BNB, thereby building a sustainable creator economy loop.FLOA is an intelligent Web3 Agent ecosystem platform on the BNB Chain, integrating core capabilities such as data analysis and on-chain automation. Featuring an open incentive mechanism, it serves both as a tool for user empowerment and an efficient growth engine for the Web3 ecosystem.
According to the official announcement, Binance Wallet has launched Agentic Wallet—a dedicated, non-custodial wallet for AI Agents—enabling users to authorize AI Agents to execute trades, transfers, and asset management within customizable rule sets.

Agentic Wallet is already supported on the BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Ethereum, and Base, and relevant Skills have been pre-integrated by default for Binance Ai Pro users. Additionally, Binance Wallet has simultaneously launched a time-limited gas fee sponsorship program and zero service fee campaign.
SlowMist CISO 23pds (@im23pds) disclosed that the Bitwarden CLI version 2026.4.0 was subjected to a Checkmarx supply-chain attack between 17:57 and 19:30 ET on April 22. During this window, attackers abused a GitHub Action within Bitwarden’s CI/CD pipeline to briefly distribute a malicious package via npm. The official statement confirmed that Vault data was not compromised and production systems remained unaffected; only users who installed this specific version via npm during the aforementioned time window were impacted. Affected users are advised to immediately uninstall version 2026.4.0, clear their npm cache, rotate sensitive credentials—including API tokens and SSH keys—investigate anomalous activity in GitHub and CI environments, and upgrade to the patched version 2026.4.1.
According to Caixin, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) released a consultation paper on April 17, 2026, proposing more accommodating regulatory capital guidelines for crypto assets on permissionless blockchains (i.e., public blockchains) ahead of implementing the Basel Committee’s new capital requirements for crypto assets. The current Basel framework is viewed as overly stringent in its classification of public blockchain-based assets, potentially stifling banking-sector innovation. MAS plans to abandon a “one-size-fits-all” classification approach and instead allow public blockchain-based crypto assets that meet a set of principle-based criteria to be classified as Group 1 crypto assets—carrying lower risk weights and less stringent prudential requirements—to achieve regulatory technology neutrality.
U.S. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins delivered a speech marking his first anniversary in office at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C. The SEC is advancing reforms to its digital asset regulatory framework, integrating them into its “A-C-T” strategy—modernizing regulation, clarifying regulatory boundaries, and reshaping the rulemaking system. Regarding crypto assets, the SEC has released a classification framework for crypto tokens, categorizing digital assets into five types—four of which are not considered securities. Atkins stated that the SEC will soon introduce an “Innovation Exemption” mechanism, providing a limited, compliant framework for market participants to conduct tokenized securities transactions on-chain. The SEC has also launched Project Crypto to adapt securities rules and the regulatory system to the growing trend of capital markets moving on-chain. Additionally, last month the SEC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the CFTC to harmonize key definitions, clarify regulatory jurisdictions, and coordinate oversight of shared regulatory matters—including digital assets. Atkins further noted that the U.S.’s prior approach to crypto asset regulation had driven innovation overseas.
Odaily News Nansen has announced the introduction of a pay-per-call model, optimizing on-chain data access based on the x402 protocol and PayAI infrastructure. This model allows users to instantly query wallet data, fund flows, and "smart money" signals through USDC micropayments, eliminating the need for subscriptions, approvals, or API keys. The system automates the "request-billing-payment-return" process based on the HTTP 402 mechanism, supporting autonomous calls and payments by AI agents.Nansen stated that the new model already covers its entire API ecosystem, with basic data queries priced at approximately $0.01 per call and advanced signals at around $0.05, supporting settlement on the Base and Solana networks.

Odaily News Vitalik Buterin stated at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival that Ethereum's ultimate goal is to build a digital infrastructure where users do not need to trust any intermediaries, possessing "self-sovereignty." It will support various decentralized applications ranging from finance and social to identity verification, serving as a trust anchor for off-chain applications (such as private voting, prediction markets, decentralized social networks).
According to an official announcement by Orca, Vercel—the frontend hosting provider for Solana’s liquidity protocol Orca—recently experienced a security incident involving unauthorized access to its internal systems. Orca stated that, as a precautionary security measure, it has proactively rotated all keys and deployment credentials potentially compromised in the incident. Orca emphasized that this incident affected only the frontend hosting layer; the on-chain protocol and user funds remain unaffected. The team is currently monitoring the situation closely and will provide timely updates.
Axelar Network stated that the hacker attack and theft of funds undermine users’ overall trust in blockchain systems and slow down the adoption of the global ledger it envisions. Axelar expressed its support for the LayerZero team in navigating this difficult situation and rebuilding trust. Regarding this approximately $290 million attack, Axelar emphasized that—pending final forensic findings—the incident once again highlights the need for multi-layered security in cross-chain bridge construction. This includes ensuring operational security for bridge operators, validators, and validating nodes; providing proper incentives and training; and removing validators whose technical capabilities are not adequately demonstrated. Additionally, operators must be sufficiently numerous, structurally heterogeneous, diverse, and geographically distributed to prevent ultimate control by a single entity.
