According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), a user’s Alchemix Yearn yvVault position (token $yvWETH) was attacked, resulting in an estimated loss of approximately $1 million. The root cause of the attack lies in the user’s prior approval grant to an unverified contract (contract address: 0x143a), deployed 10 days ago. Reverse-engineering analysis revealed that this contract contains a vulnerability enabling arbitrary call execution. Exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker successfully transferred the victim’s yvVault position. PeckShield has now publicly disclosed the specific logic of this vulnerability. Users are advised to review and revoke token approvals granted to unknown or unverified contracts to mitigate asset risks.

Spark announced on X platform that its financial report for the first quarter of 2026 has been released. The report shows total protocol revenue of $31.5 million, net protocol revenue of $6.91 million, and net protocol surplus of $3.46 million. Currently, the Spark Protocol treasury stands at $46.1 million, with $986,000 worth of SPK tokens repurchased. Due to narrowing lending spreads and the expanded scale of savings demand, distribution has surpassed the Spark Liquidity Layer as the primary revenue driver for the first time.
The Odaily Seer Channel has monitored that today DeepSeek officially announced the release of a preview version of DeepSeek-V4. However, on Polymarket, the specific release date of DeepSeek V4 has become the subject of three rounds of UMA dispute arbitration.The reason lies in the settlement rules for this event, which state that only versions representing the core version evolution of the DeepSeek V series, and which are “explicitly positioned as the successor to DeepSeek-V3,” meet the criteria. Other models, such as derivative models (e.g., “V4-Lite”, “V4-Mini”), task-specific models, R-series reasoning models, and experimental or preview versions (e.g., “V4-Exp”, “V4-Preview”), do not qualify if they are not positioned as new flagship V-series models.Therefore, some opponents argue that what DeepSeek officially released today is the V4-Preview version, not the official V4, and that “DeepSeek V4 was released on April 24” should be settled as No, not Yes.The Odaily Seer Channel continues to monitor the prediction market, observing changes before prices are set.
Odaily News X Product Lead Nikita Bier announced in a post, "Today, we are announcing two product changes for Communities on X:1. XChat now supports joinable links for group chats. Create a public link and share it directly to the timeline. Each chat supports 350 members (and growing), and group chat links are the fastest way to bring people together on X.2. Due to declining usage, we will be deprecating X Communities on May 6th. To migrate your community members, pin your group chat link so people can join over the next 2 weeks. This is part of our broader effort to simplify the X experience. Please don't get it wrong: we are heavily investing in niche communities, through the launch of custom timelines—and more features to come."Subsequently, he added that based on user feedback, to give users ample migration time, the transition period will be extended until May 30th. Additionally, the group chat member limit will be increased to 500 tomorrow, with the goal of reaching 1000 members in the coming weeks. This should cover all communities on X except for a very few.

Odaily News, Spark's strategy lead monetsupply.eth posted on X, stating that as the stablecoin market begins to face a liquidity shortage, the situation is entering a more dangerous phase, in my opinion. Approximately 16.5% of the ETH market is backed by rsETH. If losses on rsETH-backed loans are shared across the mainnet and external chains, they could face a 10% to 15% cut in emode, with the remaining 2% to 3% cut left for ETH suppliers to flatten the umbrella structure. ETH suppliers naturally tend to exit as soon as possible to avoid this risk, so utilization is locked at 100%, and the borrowing rate is insufficient to incentivize the repayment of unrelated LST loops (wstETH, weETH) to release liquidity. Since ETH cannot be withdrawn, users who borrowed stablecoins like USDT using ETH as collateral cannot close their positions even when stablecoin borrowing rates rise, which cuts off the typical incentive mechanisms that maintain market health. Currently, there are two unhealthy incentives causing market utilization to be locked at 100%:1) ETH holders cannot close positions to maintain a healthy LTV, and liquidators cannot atomically withdraw or sell collateral. A drop in the ETHUSD price could lead to bad debt.2) Users supplying USDT, in order to exit their holdings, tend to maximize borrowing of other stablecoins. This position is currently generating positive yield (temporarily), so the exit cost is low; if conditions worsen, they can recover at least 75% of the position's value.The bottom line is that for these pooled/restaking lending markets to function properly, liquidity must be maintained at all costs. The recent weakening of the slope2 for Aave's maximum borrowing rate is having a negative impact and significantly increasing the risk of cascading market failure.
According to Cointelegraph, Polish cryptocurrency exchange Zonda is mired in a withdrawal crisis. Current CEO Przemysław Kral released a video statement disclosing for the first time a cold wallet address holding approximately 4,503 BTC (currently valued at roughly $334 million), stating that the private key for this wallet was never transferred during the company’s leadership transition. Kral explained that the private key should have been handed over by Zonda’s founder and former CEO, Sylwester Suszek—but Suszek has been missing since March 2022. Kral denied allegations of fund misappropriation, asserting that Suszek’s disappearance itself proves his innocence. Earlier, blockchain platform Recoveris published an analytical report indicating a sharp decline in Zonda’s hot wallet balances—suggesting insolvency—and triggering a wave of withdrawal requests. Zonda typically processes around 100,000 withdrawals annually, yet received over 25,000 such requests within just a few hours around April 6. Kral stated that the company will pursue legal action against these false accusations and reaffirmed its commitment to fulfilling its financial obligations to customers.
According to The Block, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire responded at a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, to criticism over Circle’s decision not to freeze the stolen USDC involved in the Drift incident. He stated that Circle fulfills its legal obligations and freezes wallets only upon instruction from law enforcement agencies or courts; unilaterally freezing assets would constitute a “major ethical dilemma.” He also revealed that Circle is engaging with U.S. legislative bodies regarding the Clarity Act, seeking to establish a “safe harbor” mechanism for stablecoin issuers in extreme circumstances—but emphasized that any such authority must be explicitly granted through legislation, not exercised unilaterally by the company.
