Flow says actual WFLOW losses were about $410,000 as Ankr and MORE Markets pause affected contracts

Flow said depositors in MORE Markets and ankrFLOW did not lose funds in the exploit, and holders of FLOW were not affected. The project also said earlier reports from some media outlets that put WFLOW losses at roughly $9.3 million were inaccurate, adding that the actual value of affected tokens was about $410,000. According to Flow, Ankr and MORE Markets have suspended the relevant contracts, while some exchanges have temporarily paused FLOW deposits as a precaution. Flow Foundation said it will work with Ankr to refill the drained WFLOW reserves and rebalance the liquidity pool. AnkrFLOW staking and borrowing on MORE Markets will remain paused until Ankr completes a contract upgrade. Flow added that users will be able to withdraw funds once services resume and will not need to take any extra steps.

Neutrl to Open Early Redemption for NUSD, sNUSD in Early September After Strategy Position Issue

In a post published on its official X account on August 29, decentralized yield protocol Neutrl said that a problem with a position in its strategy had affected the liquidity of part of its reserves. The team said it had quickly suspended the relevant smart contracts after consulting legal counsel. According to the protocol, it currently has approximately $27 million in liquid assets that are available, in addition to unrealized strategy positions and the related profits or losses. Neutrl said it is unable to confirm at this stage the recovery time, the amount that could be recovered, or the recoverable value. In order to respond to users' demand for liquidity, Neutrl said it will open an early redemption mechanism for holders of NUSD and sNUSD, and it will treat all holders equally. The target is early September, though the timeline could shift depending on the deployment of the new redemption contract, independent audits, and legal and financial reviews. The team also advised users not to trade NUSD or sNUSD during the assessment period, so as to avoid affecting the recovery arrangements.

OpenZeppelin Integrates ENS into UI Builder and Role Manager

ENS has announced that OpenZeppelin, a blockchain security firm, has integrated the Ethereum Name Service into its UI Builder and Role Manager products. The announcement was made on ENS's official X account. This integration gives developers access to the on-chain naming layer directly from these tools. OpenZeppelin UI Builder is a tool that helps developers quickly build interfaces for smart contracts. Role Manager supports developers and operators in discovering, inspecting, and managing contract access permissions. After the integration, developers can use ENS domain resolution by default in these tools. This means that more applications can be connected to ENS from the start. OpenZeppelin's UI suite is open source and available to blockchain application developers. The integration is now available to developers using these products. Both UI Builder and Role Manager are part of the open-source UI suite. The tools are designed to be used by developers building blockchain applications. ENS said the integration allows more applications to connect to ENS from the very beginning.
