THORChain under fire over Bitget, ETH evolves beyond blockchain: Hodler’s Digest

Bitget was hacked for $387M — but it’s THORChain feeling the heat. Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum’s tech overhaul will see it evolve beyond blockchain and into a world computer.

• THORChain faces scrutiny for refusing to blacklist stolen funds from the Bitget hack, sparking a debate on decentralization versus compliance.
• Ethereum's future development, led by Vitalik Buterin, aims to evolve beyond a traditional blockchain into a 'world computer' utilizing zero-knowledge proofs and other advanced technologies.
• The digest also covers Hester Peirce's resignation from the SEC, AI-related security incidents, Michael Saylor's 'bill of digital rights', and market performance updates.

Charles Hoskinson on Cardano's Future, Ethereum's Mistakes, and Crypto's Missing Safety Net

🎬 Charles Hoskinson on Cardano's Future, Ethereum's Mistakes, and Crypto's Missing Safety Net
After a bridge hack rattled the Cardano ecosystem, Charles Hoskinson, CEO and Founder of Input Output, joins Jennifer Sanasie on Markets Outlook to lay out why crypto desperately needs wallet insurance, ZK-powered identity, and white hat rescue frameworks. Plus, what Cardano's latest hard fork really means for decentralized governance, why he thinks Ethereum keeps getting it wrong, and what it will actually take for prices to recover. Plus, we look at the DTCC taking tokenized securities live in...

➤ Charles Hoskinson advocates for crucial RWA infrastructure like wallet insurance, ZK-powered identity, and white hat rescue frameworks to address crypto's security vulnerabilities, citing recent hacks as evidence.
➤ Cardano has successfully completed a hard fork (v11) enabling decentralized governance and integrating ZK infrastructure, paving the way for significant scalability improvements with the upcoming 'Laos' upgrade.
➤ The DTCC has launched live production for tokenized securities, marking a major milestone in traditional finance's adoption of blockchain technology, with broader rollouts planned for later this year.

The AI Exploit That Could Destroy DeFi

🎬 The AI Exploit That Could Destroy DeFi
A top DeFi security veteran just sounded the alarm. He’s urging users to exit blue-chip protocols like Aave, MakerDAO, and Compound, citing AI-fuelled hacks that no audit or bug bounty can keep up with.
We break down what’s changed, why even the 'safest' protocols are now giant targets, and how billions could be at risk. Know exactly where you stand before your funds are next on the line.

➤ A prominent DeFi security expert warns that AI-powered exploits have made all DeFi protocols unsafe, urging users to withdraw funds from major platforms like Aave and MakerDAO.
➤ The core argument centers on the asymmetry between attackers and defenders, amplified by AI's ability to rapidly discover novel vulnerabilities, making traditional audits and bug bounties insufficient.
➤ The article suggests that the rise in AI exploits and the limitations of current defenses may force DeFi towards a more centralized 'CDFI' model, compromising its core trustless ethos.
