The Ronin bridge has been exploited for 173,600 Ethereum and 25.5M USDC.

The Ronin bridge and Katana Dex have been halted.

$650m gone in one shot on Ronin chain. « the attacker found a backdoor through our gas-free RPC node, which they abused to get the signature for the Axie DAO validator ». Is it the biggest hack so far in history of DeFi ? Rekt. https://t.co/wcgIvihuDR pic.twitter.com/D7NovLEW1w

9 nodes network controlled by 4/9 multisig is nowhere near "decentralized".

Ronin hack is not a "DeFi" hack.

Decentralization and trustless ecosystems are important, today we have a costly reminder of this.

It looks like the Ronin hack was quite different from previous bridge hacks. The Ronin bridge is a 5-of-9 validator bridge, meaning the funds are secured by a set of 9 secret keys, any 5 of which can be used to move money around.

(I acknowledge this post; we are investigating and taking action if/where appropriate.)

The @Ronin_Network bridge attack marks the biggest crypto hack yet.

The culprit was experienced & may be using purchased CEX accounts to try and cash out.

Let's unpack what we know for now. https://t.co/YKrgymiCDB

That's a good point actually.

2/4

This was a social engineering attack combined with a human error from December 2021. @SkyMavisHQ tech is solid and we will be adding several new validators to @Ronin_Network shortly to further decentralize the network.

The https://t.co/Q8rJgG8ZiF leaderboard has a new number one.

~$624M stolen from @Ronin_Network, but it took 6 days before anyone noticed.

Will the attacker try to launder the loot?

1/ Hardware wallets are great, but the #Gotchiverse requires you to sign every time you enter the game, which can be pretty inconvenient.

But is the only alternative to transfer your Gotchi to a hot wallet and play with it there?

Well, it used to be. But not anymore… 👀 pic.twitter.com/atJajdRiWO

my gotchi is equipped with ~0.5M$ of items and the rental cost is 2$ for 8h lmao.

that's a cheap price for this kind of flex. pic.twitter.com/vI4vtNb2ZP

Here is everything you need to know about the state of play on the EU vote on "unhosted" wallets & next steps.

Important correction
-vote on the amendments will be around 1:45-2:45pm
-vote on the entire regulation draft around 5-6pm CET

Shortly after, I will let you know. https://t.co/ecfxI9UQV9

2/ Very thin margins.

Compromise D: 58 yes | 52 no | 7 abstentions
Compromise E: 62|51|5

It seems like a majority of (most) MEPs from S&D, GUE, Greens & Renew voted in favor, while a minority of (most) MEPs from EPP & ID voted against. ECR seems more split (tbd).

Why Work in Web 3?

• They pay well. Crypto companies are flush with venture capitalist funds & are on a hiring spree.

• Flexibility. Many of them let you work from home.

• It's the Future. You get a front-row seat to a skyrocketing industry. 🚀

Over the past few months I've become obsessed with the concept of NFTs as digital objects, and how this idea/framework necessitates a whole new paradigm for how internet-native objects are exchanged.

Pre-seed
Raised March 2019
Round size: $250 000
Fundraising time: 7 months
Team size: 2 founders

Absolutely brutal. No salary for 7 months. A ton of investor no's, even with paying customers. "Crypto market is too small, crypto data too open" they would say.

(Please take this seriously, this isn't an April fools prank. We are simply the best verification bot there is and it's ridiculous that people can't read and see that the websites they're visiting aren't ours)

I recently embarked on a similar career shift myself, pivoting from the education space into web3.

While it was daunting, there were certain resources and tips that helped me along the way– many of them are included in this guide!
