According to BlockBeats, the U.S. SEC's crypto task force held a roundtable discussion on "DeFi and the American Spirit." During the event, SEC Chairman Atkins highlighted how decentralized finance (DeFi) aligns with American values such as economic freedom, private property rights, and innovation.
Atkins emphasized that developers of neutral tools should not be held accountable for third-party actions. He stated that engineers should not be subject to federal securities laws merely for releasing software code. Citing a court ruling, Atkins argued that it is irrational to hold developers of autonomous vehicles responsible for third-party misuse, such as illegal activities, suggesting that legal action should target the individuals committing the offenses rather than the companies providing the technology.#SEC #DeFi #AmericanValues #EconomicFreedom #PrivatePropertyRights #Innovation #CryptoTaskForce #SoftwareDevelopment #LegalResponsibility

🚀 North Korean Developer Gains Access to Waves Protocol Codebase
#NorthKorea #WavesProtocol #CyberSecurity #Malware #SoftwareDevelopment #SupplyChainDefense #Hacking #ITOutsourcing #CodeReview #WalletSecurity
According to PANews, a North Korean developer has reportedly gained elevated access to the Keeper-Wallet codebase of the Waves Protocol. The account, identified as 'AhegaoXXX,' has been pushing updates to a dormant codebase since May 2025. This account is linked to a North Korean IT outsourcing organization. A code review revealed that one of the updates included a feature that could send wallet logs and runtime errors to an external database, potentially compromising mnemonic phrases and private keys. Although this branch has not been merged, the attacker managed to publish six outdated malicious NPM packages by controlling the account of former Waves engineer Maxim Smolyakov.
Security reports indicate that this incident marks a shift in North Korean hackers' tactics from ordinary outsourcing infiltration to direct control of codebases. It is recommended that development teams enhance supply chain defenses, including auditing contributor permissions, cleaning up dormant accounts, and monitoring repository redirects. While the number of affected software downloads remains low, Waves users updating Keeper-Wallet face the risk of credential leaks.#NorthKorea #WavesProtocol #CyberSecurity #Malware #SoftwareDevelopment #SupplyChainDefense #Hacking #ITOutsourcing #CodeReview #WalletSecurity

🚀 Neynar's Vision for Farcaster: A Builder-First Network
#Neynar #Farcaster #BuilderFirst #Crypto #SoftwareDevelopment #Blockchain #Community #Innovation #Clanker #DeveloperPlatform #OpenNetwork #SustainableIncome #Roadmap #Creators #Collaborate #Experiment
On January 24, Neynar co-founder Rishav Mukherji shared insights on the future of Farcaster. According to BlockBeats, Neynar plans to maintain the Farcaster protocol, operate its client, and manage Clanker. Some Clanker team members will join Neynar, which has been a key infrastructure provider in the Farcaster ecosystem. This integration is seen as a natural progression after years of deep community involvement.
The vision is to enable builders to transition from ideas to sustainable income, creating a 'builder-first' network. Farcaster's core value lies in its builder community, which has driven innovations like Frames, Degen, and Warpcast. The value of Farcaster extends beyond products to those who experiment, share knowledge, and build openly. Neynar's acquisition of Farcaster aims to simplify software development.
There will be no major changes to Farcaster, Neynar, or Clanker products, and rumors about protocol or client shutdowns are unfounded. Neynar's developer platform will continue, and financial and trading functions will remain unchanged. The next phase will focus on product prioritization, advancing the roadmap while maintaining network openness. As software development barriers decrease, combined with crypto-native financial tracks and open distribution mechanisms, Farcaster is poised to become a vital starting point for creators and developers to experiment, collaborate, and scale.#Neynar #Farcaster #BuilderFirst #Crypto #SoftwareDevelopment #Blockchain #Community #Innovation #Clanker #DeveloperPlatform #OpenNetwork #SustainableIncome #Roadmap #Creators #Collaborate #Experiment
