Odaily News Open source AI agent project OpenClaw maintainer Onur Solmaz publicly posted a strong response to various external negative controversies. He stated that the project has been continuously subjected to public opinion attacks, with the core reason being that OpenClaw adheres to a neutral public welfare nature, does not participate in token pumping, does not pursue commercial profits, differentiating itself from profit-driven AI agent products in the industry.The project maintains neutrality in both industry and geopolitics. It is precisely because its own development has touched upon the interests of peers that it has been deliberately smeared. Meanwhile, the official team refuted various accusations one by one, including being bloated, lacking security, and being acquired by OpenAI. They also introduced facts such as architectural optimization, rapid vulnerability fixes, and the team's unpaid open-source operation and maintenance. The project is defined as the people's AI, calling on the community to jointly build an open-source AI ecosystem.
Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte responded to the major security breach affecting Drift Protocol on April 1, which resulted in over $270 million in stolen funds. He stated that open financial systems must be built upon foundations of legal accountability, shared security, and rules that evolve in real time with emerging threats. Circle freezes USDC funds only when legally required—a measure reflecting its compliance obligations and safeguarding users’ assets and privacy rights. He emphasized that openness and accountability must be balanced, and all participants across the ecosystem—including protocols, wallets, infrastructure providers, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers—must jointly shoulder responsibility for security and accountability. Circle is collaborating with U.S. and international policymakers to advance stablecoin legislation, including the GENIUS Act, to establish a more modern legal framework enabling lawful, rapid intervention against illicit activities while protecting property rights and privacy—ensuring the continued resilience and robust growth of open financial systems.
