Project Overview
Gateway is building a private data layer with encrypted decentralized storage and native access control capabilities. By giving sovereignty to users to share their data with requesting parties, Gateway opens new access to private data that was previously inaccessible by blockchain networks, companies, LLMs, and various other stakeholders on the internet.
Hyperbridge: Losses from the vulnerability increased to approximately $2.5 million; some funds have been traced to Binance.
According to an official disclosure by Hyperbridge, the losses from the Token Gateway vulnerability incident on April 13 have been revised upward from an initial estimate of $237,000 to approximately $2.5 million. The increase stems primarily from losses incurred in incentive pools on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum. The attacker extracted roughly 245 ETH from related contracts, then bypassed the MMR proof verification mechanism by forging cross-chain messages, minting 1 billion bridged DOT tokens and dumping them onto illiquid markets. Currently, some of the stolen funds have been traced on-chain to Binance. Hyperbridge is collaborating with Binance’s compliance team and law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident. Polkadot-native DOT and products such as Intent Gateway remain unaffected. The Token Gateway and bridged DOT contracts on the four affected EVM chains remain suspended. An external audit of the patched MMR verification logic is underway, and bridging functionality will be restored upon completion of the audit.
Binance Offers Temporary Relocation Options for UAE Employees Amid Regional Conflict
According to CoinDesk, amid the Iran conflict, Binance has offered its approximately 1,000 employees in the UAE the option of temporary relocation to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok. Binance stated that its UAE operations continue normally, with some employees choosing to remain locally, and global user services remain unaffected. This measure follows regional unrest that has disrupted major cryptocurrency, business, and sports events in the UAE—including the postponement of TOKEN2049 Dubai to 2027 and the cancellation of TON Gateway due to security and travel concerns. The UAE government reported having intercepted hundreds of missiles and drones since late February. Binance is deepening its collaboration with local authorities through Abu Dhabi’s global regulatory framework, and its global operations are backed by Abu Dhabi.

Hyperbridge Gateway Contract Attacked; 1 Billion DOT Tokens Minted and Dumped on Ethereum
According to PeckShieldAlert monitoring, approximately 1 billion Polkadot (DOT) tokens have been minted and dumped on the Ethereum network. Details of the incident are still under further verification. According to CertiK monitoring, the Hyperbridge gateway contract was attacked; the attacker forged messages to tamper with the admin privileges of the Polkadot token contract on Ethereum, and profited approximately $237,000 by minting and selling 1 billion tokens.
