Interest from users seeking early positioning in the Arc chain ecosystem under Circle continues to surge, with premiums for related USDC exchanges peaking at 1.8x. According to official updates, Crab.fun, a Meme issuance platform built for Arc, will roll out its Early Access version on the Base chain tonight at 21:00 to attract users and creators, securing early footholds in the Arc Meme ecosystem. According to reports, the Crab.fun Early Access utilizes the Strategy Vault issuance framework. A 1.5% trading fee applies, with creators waiving their revenue share: 1% flows into the Community Strategy Vault, and 0.5% is allocated for protocol buybacks. Under the Strategy mode, creators must nominate three fomo.family (http://fomo.family/) IDs as candidate traders. Once the vault accumulates 10,000 USDC, claims open. The first verified participant becomes the permanent Strategic Trader for the token and can deploy vault capital across markets including crypto, memes, equities, forex, commodities, and indices. Trading profits are split evenly: 50% goes to the trader, and the remaining 50% funds buybacks of the community token. The Crab.fun Early Access will open 80% of the token supply for subscription at a fixed price. Upon reaching the 4,000 USDC graduation milestone, tokens will be instantly mapped and airdropped to users at a 1:1 ratio.
Odaily report: According to Defimon monitoring, a suspicious proposal 54 has appeared in Ampleforth's governance system Governor Bravo, involving approximately $2.5 million in treasury funds. The incident has been classified as an access control risk and malicious governance proposal, and the related funds have not yet been transferred out. The Ampleforth timelock contract currently holds approximately 2.538 million USDC, meaning the proposal involves nearly all treasury assets. The proposer disclosed that they authored the proposal themselves and plans to vote through a delegated address holding 87,238 FORTH, approximately 0.57% of the supply, slightly above the 75,000 FORTH proposal threshold. The proposal quorum is 600,000 FORTH, valued at approximately $132,000 at FORTH's current price of $0.22.
Odaily News: Crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on X platform responding to recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explaining his position-building logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was around $3 million but did not buy in. After observing for a day, he revisited his research due to the platform's rapid data growth and bought in from around a $7 million market cap all the way up to a $20 million market cap.Bonk Guy said that EMBER is a major Launchpad built on Meteora, supporting SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as pairing assets for token issuance. It utilizes Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology and offers features such as token fee distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember has recorded approximately $51.7 million in trading volume, $561,000 in fees, and has cumulatively issued 2,041 tokens within 3 days of launch, with over 41,800 unique holder addresses and 149,000 Solana transactions. BonkGuy compared his Ember purchase to his previous PONS trade, noting that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below $1 million, similarly ignored it for a full day, and then started buying at around a $4 million market cap. Rather than whether a trending token has already emerged, what matters more is observing the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, while Solana's Meme trading ecosystem has been developing for a longer time, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also stated that his trades are not based on market consensus. Some of his most successful trades in the past often came from discovering opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone agrees, the asymmetric upside potential has usually already been significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy said that the claim of "EMBER having over 50% Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his earlier statement that Ember was "launched by Meteora" was also inaccurate—a more precise description is that Ember is built on Meteora-related infrastructure and has now been listed on Meteora's ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.

According to the post-incident report released by Tectonic, the Cronos blockchain lending protocol Tectonic suffered an oracle manipulation attack at 12:49 UTC on August 30, 2026. By repeatedly borrowing and re-collateralizing TONIC tokens 98 times within a single transaction, the attacker drove up the TONIC collateral price by approximately 195 times. Leveraging this artificially inflated value, they subsequently extracted assets with a nominal value of $120.4 million from nine lending markets, spanning USDC, USDT, WBTC, WETH, and other assets. The attacker then bridged the stablecoins to Ethereum and converted them to ETH, while selling the remaining assets for CRO on the Cronos chain before withdrawing them. Approximately $9.19 million in total successfully escaped before the network halt. At 14:32 UTC, Cronos validators emergency-paused the network, rolling back the on-chain state to pre-attack conditions and restoring assets still held on Cronos. Currently, Tectonic's supply and borrowing functions remain suspended, while withdrawal and repayment capabilities continue normally. Tracing efforts for the stolen funds are being coordinated by blockchain forensics firms, law enforcement agencies, and stablecoin issuers, with freeze requests already filed with the relevant issuers.
