The THORChain protocol's own RUNE token jumped to a six-week high as the protocol is back online after a series of hacking attacks earlier this year.

Thanks to the good news, RUNE is up 18.9% in the last 24 hours. The coin hit a local high of $11.28 earlier Monday, a level last seen in September, before correcting to $10.53 at the time of publication, according to CoinGecko. Open / Comment

2021-09-25 08:25:41 Hackers hacked Bitcoin.org and posted a fraudulent ad

Hackers gained unauthorized access to the Bitcoin.org information resource and posted a fake cryptocurrency giveaway ad on it. Fraudsters offered users to transfer bitcoins to an unknown address and receive double the amount in return. As of 10:20 a.m. Moscow time, the site remains inaccessible because Namecheap, the domain registrar, has restricted access to it.

The operator of Bitcoin.org said that the developers are already figuring out how attackers managed to gain access to the resource. He speculated that the hackers took advantage of a vulnerability in the Cloudflare service because the hack occurred two months after the site was connected to it.

"Bitcoin.org was never hacked. And then we switched to Cloudflare and two months later we got hacked," the site operator noted. Open / Comment

2021-09-11 18:21:20 ZKSwap and SofaSwap announce joint stacking

According to a joint official announcement from the two teams, ZKSwap (ZKS) and SofaSwap are about to launch a joint stacking program called Single Token Staking.

Through this program, SofaSwap users can launch basic token staking contracts (for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), etc.) using ZKS, the main proprietary asset of the decentralized ZKSwap exchange.

When trading these contracts, any token (including ZKS) can be selected as a settlement instrument. To use an asset for settlement, a SofaSwap user must specify that it must be delivered by a Market Maker LP.

As the two teams emphasize in a statement, this collaboration will increase profits for traders, stakers and liquidity providers on SofaSwap. Open / Comment

Working in collaboration with Ethereum protocols such as Aave, Curve, Sushi, PoolTogether, 0x and UMA, as well as Ethereum infrastructure providers such as Chainlink, RabbitHole and The Graph, the program "will offer over $100 million in educational initiatives, grants and incentives." While the incentive program bears similarities to Polygon and Avalanche's big-budget liquidity mining incentive programs, Celo founder Rene Reinsberg said the specifics of Celo's implementation are aimed at attracting a broader audience to DeFi.

"The goal over the next five years is to get a billion new people into DeFi," he said, adding:

"By starting this initiative now, we hope to make this a more industry-wide effort, and I think it's kind of complementary to other programs and efforts that we've seen." Open / Comment
