🚀 Smart Contract Vulnerability Leads to Flash Loan Attack on BSC

According to PANews, a flash loan attack on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has resulted in an estimated loss of $130,000. The incident involved an unknown smart contract named MSCST, which was exploited due to a missing access control in the releaseReward() function. This vulnerability allowed the attacker to manipulate the price of GPC tokens within the PancakeSwap liquidity pool (0x12da).

🚀 Whitehat Operation Recovers Over 50 ETH from Vulnerable DAO Contract

A decade after the notorious 2016 hack, over 50 ETH have been successfully recovered from a vulnerable DAO smart contract through a coordinated whitehat operation. According to NS3.AI, this effort contrasts sharply with the original exploit that led to a crisis and Ethereum's hard fork. The recovered funds are set to be returned to their rightful owners or allocated to support Ethereum security initiatives if they remain unclaimed. This controlled rescue operation was led by experienced security professionals, highlighting the ongoing commitment to enhancing blockchain security.

🚀 Polkadot's Smart Contract Launch Sees Slow Start

Polkadot's recent introduction of smart contract capabilities has resulted in just 19 contracts being deployed in its initial week, significantly trailing behind platforms like Ethereum and Solana. According to NS3.AI, the development team is prioritizing a robust foundation and anticipates gradual growth as more integrations and developer initiatives are introduced. Despite the slow uptake and a notable decline in the value of the DOT token, Polkadot is targeting Ethereum developers by offering compatibility, though this strategic move has faced some criticism from industry experts.

🚀 Grayscale Introduces Solana Staking ETF Amid High Risk and Volatility

Grayscale has launched the Solana Staking ETF (GSOL), an exchange-traded product that is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, thus not subject to the same regulations as registered ETFs and mutual funds. Grayscale posted on X. The fund involves significant risk and volatility, making it unsuitable for investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. GSOL does not represent a direct investment in Solana (SOL), and potential staking rewards are earned by the fund rather than issued directly to investors.

The fund's ability to engage in staking is conditional and may be modified. Staking requires the fund to lock up Solana for the duration specified by the staking protocol, rendering it illiquid during this period. Staked SOL is exposed to risks such as security breaches, network downtime, smart contract vulnerabilities, and validator or custodian failures, which could lead to a complete loss of the staked Solana or any rewards.

Solana operates as a proof-of-stake blockchain, relying on a distributed network of validators to confirm transactions and secure the network. Validators are chosen based on the amount of SOL staked to support the protocol. Investors are advised to read the prospectus carefully before investing in the fund. Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the marketing agent for the fund.

🚀 BlockSec's EVMBench Re-Test Reveals No Exploit Success

BlockSec's recent re-evaluation of EVMBench reported a 0% success rate in end-to-end exploits across 110 agent-incident pairs involving 22 real-world smart contract security incidents. According to NS3.AI, BlockSec suggested that the initial benchmark by OpenAI and Paradigm might have exaggerated AI's exploit capabilities due to the influence of scaffold design on the results. Despite this, BlockSec acknowledged the detection value of AI, noting that Claude Opus 4.6 successfully identified 13 out of 20 real-world vulnerabilities.

🚀 Solana Foundation Chair Addresses Impact of Drift Incident

On April 2, Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu commented on the significant impact of the Drift incident on the ecosystem. According to BlockBeats, Liu stated that the Drift team is working tirelessly to investigate and manage the situation, with the foundation providing support. She emphasized that the smart contract itself has proven resilient, noting that the real target of the attack was individuals, focusing on social engineering and operational security vulnerabilities rather than exploiting code.

Liu highlighted Solana's history of overcoming challenges through rapid iteration, improved development, mutual support, and enhanced security measures. She urged vigilance, advising users to review their security settings and continue building. Updates will be provided as new developments occur.

🚀 Drift Attributes April Exploit to North Korean Social Engineering Campaign

Drift has linked its April 1 exploit, which resulted in the loss of approximately $280 million, to a six-month social engineering campaign allegedly conducted by North Korean actors. According to NS3.AI, the Solana-based perpetuals exchange revealed that the relationship with the suspected group began in the fall of 2025. Individuals posing as a quant trading firm approached Drift contributors at a major crypto conference during this period.

The group reportedly onboarded an Ecosystem Vault and deposited over $1 million of its own capital. Drift explained that the exploit was executed using durable nonces rather than exploiting a smart contract vulnerability. Meanwhile, Mandiant has not yet formally attributed the attack, as device forensics are still pending.

🚀 Resolv Labs Destroys Stolen USR Tokens After Hack

Resolv Labs has taken action to address a recent security breach. According to ChainCatcher, approximately an hour ago, the company upgraded its contract to destroy 36.73 million USR tokens held by a hacker.

The hacker exploited a minting vulnerability to create 80 million USR tokens without collateral. Of these, around 34 million USR tokens were sold by the hacker in exchange for 11,409 ETH, which is stored at the address 0x8ED...81C. Meanwhile, Resolv Labs managed to destroy approximately 46 million USR tokens from the hacker's address through a contract upgrade. The actual financial loss from this exploit is estimated to be $34 million.

🚀 TRON Network Proposal Aims to Adjust SELFDESTRUCT Instruction Execution

TRON Network's Super Representatives have initiated Proposal No. 106, which is currently in the committee voting phase. According to ChainCatcher, if the proposal is approved, it is expected to take effect on April 10 at 20:00 (UTC+8). The proposal seeks to modify the execution behavior and cost of the SELFDESTRUCT instruction: a contract will only be truly deleted if the instruction is called within the same transaction that created the contract; otherwise, only the contract's assets will be transferred, and the contract itself will not be deleted. Additionally, the energy consumption for SELFDESTRUCT will be adjusted from 0 to 5000.

If passed, the changes will further align the mechanism with Ethereum, enhancing TVM compatibility. TRON advises developers who have utilized SELFDESTRUCT to closely monitor the proposal's progress and prepare for adaptation in advance. In cases of node desynchronization, it is recommended to first check whether the upgrade to version v4.8.1 has been completed.
