FOUNDATION2026-10-26 05:33:57FOUNDATION says spoofed-domain spam campaign traced to leaked Cloudflare API keysFOUNDATION, the developer of the Passport Bitcoin hardware wallet, said it has identified a spam email campaign that impersonated the company’s official domain. According to the company, its investigation traced the emails to one or more compromised API keys on Cloudflare. FOUNDATION said it has since revoked all related keys and that the malicious domain has been taken offline. The company also said funds stored with Passport remain safe and that the hardware device itself was not affected. FOUNDATION added that it is still investigating the incident and plans to release a report as soon as possible. The statement was published on X.50
Foundation2026-10-26 04:06:03Foundation Ties Passport Phishing Emails to Compromised Cloudflare API KeysFoundation said phishing emails sent to Passport users were linked to compromised Cloudflare API keys, according to The Defiant. Some recipients said the messages included personal details and purchase information, raising concerns about how much customer data may have been exposed in the incident. The company said, however, that Passport hardware devices were not affected and that user funds remained safe. The report centers on the source of the phishing campaign rather than any direct compromise of the wallet hardware itself. Foundation’s statement draws a line between the email incident and the security of the Passport product, stressing that the device and customer assets were not impacted even as recipients reported seeing sensitive information in the messages.50

Aptos2026-10-08 16:57:39Aptos Foundation proposes cutting APT staking rewards to 2.6% and capping supply at 2.1 billionThe Aptos Foundation has outlined a tokenomics overhaul that would lower APT’s annual staking reward rate from 5.19% to 2.6% through a governance proposal and set a hard cap on total supply at 2.1 billion tokens. The plan also includes a commitment from the foundation to permanently lock and stake 210 million APT, described as about 18% of the current supply. Those tokens would no longer be sold or distributed, with only staking rewards used to support operations. In the same proposal package, the foundation said it plans to raise gas fees by 10x, tie future ecosystem grants to performance metrics, and explore buybacks of APT using cash and future revenue. The item was cited by Techub News, with Wu Blockchain named as the source in the digest.650
Aave2026-10-05 12:23:24Aave foundation proposal revives dispute over who should control the protocol’s brandAave Labs has submitted a governance proposal titled "Aave Foundation, Phase One," seeking to establish a Cayman Islands foundation company that could eventually hold and protect the Aave brand and related intellectual property. The proposal itself is narrow: it only covers the incorporation of the entity and the appointment of initial independent directors and a supervisor. It does not transfer trademarks, domains, code IP, or social accounts at this stage. The filing has drawn attention because it highlights a long-running tension inside the Aave ecosystem. Although the Aave DAO has operated for years and funded development, risk work, and front-end infrastructure, the AAVE trademark is still registered to Quantum Swan OÜ, an Estonian company linked to Aave Labs, according to the article. That leaves the DAO governing the protocol while a private company retains legal ownership of core brand assets. The proposed structure is designed to address that mismatch. Under Cayman foundation company law, the entity can exist without members or shareholders while still holding assets and entering contracts. Governance token holders would retain key powers over appointments and major decisions. Whether the trademark and other IP can actually be moved into the structure, and on what terms, remains a question for later proposals.560
Aave2026-10-04 10:11:07Aave proposal seeks Cayman foundation to hold trademarks and core IP for the DAOA governance proposal written by Aave Labs asks the Aave community to create an Aave Foundation, structured as a Cayman Islands foundation company without members, to hold and protect the protocol’s trademarks and related intellectual property. The proposal only covers phase one: incorporation of the entity and the appointment of an independent director, an independent supervisor, and related setup functions. Later phases covering the transfer of trademarks, key domain names, and protocol codebase IP would return to governance as separate proposals. The draft argues that Aave DAO has spent years funding service providers to build code, tools, models, documentation, and branding, yet ownership has been handled inconsistently and some assets remain outside the DAO’s control. Because a DAO cannot itself register trademarks, sue for infringement, or own domain names, the proposal says the community lacks a durable legal vehicle to defend assets it paid to create. Under the structure described in the ARFC, the foundation would own and manage specified IP, but it would not vote on protocol decisions, veto governance, or choose service providers. Aave Labs and DAO service providers would have no board seats and no appointment rights. The text also includes a separate view urging governance to compare the Cayman structure with a Swiss foundation before committing to the jurisdiction for long-term IP ownership.840
