Wanchain2026-08-13 07:38:42Wanchain Bridge and XFlows Restart Support for VeChainWanchain, a cross-chain infrastructure project, has announced via a post on X that its Wanchain bridge and XFlows have resumed support for VeChain. The team said restarts for additional chains will be announced in phases in the future. This announcement follows an earlier attack incident that prompted Wanchain to conduct a proactive security review. During that review, some cross-chain bridges were temporarily taken offline, including the non-EVM VeChain route. In the latest update, Wanchain confirmed that VeChain support is active again on both the Wanchain bridge and XFlows. The post did not provide a specific timeline for further restarts, only saying that more information will be released in stages. The news was shared through Wanchain’s official account on X. Wanchain previously suspended certain bridge operations as a safety measure. With this resumption, VeChain has returned to supported status on the Wanchain bridge and XFlows. The team’s statement indicates that additional bridges will be restored in phases. Further updates from Wanchain are expected as the phased rollout continues.1570
Wanchain2026-07-31 00:55:47Wanchain offers attacker 10% bounty if 90% of stolen NIGHT is returned by Aug. 6Wanchain said its Cardano bridge on Wanchain Bridge was attacked on July 20, 2026, resulting in the theft of NIGHT tokens. In a post from its official X account, the project said it had issued a notice to the attacker demanding the return of 90% of the stolen NIGHT by 12:00 UTC on Aug. 6. Under the proposal, the attacker could keep the remaining 10% as a white hat bounty, and Wanchain said it would not pursue civil liability. Separately, community users said the attacker has already swapped the NIGHT tokens on a DEX. Following the incident, NIGHT fell more than 30% and was last quoted at $0.0188.1910
Policy and Re2026-07-26 08:15:48Weekly project roundup: Worldcoin sells WLD at a 36% discount, Movement files for bankruptcyThis week’s project developments span token sales, shutdowns, hacks, protocol upgrades, and new product launches across crypto and adjacent sectors. Robinhood Chain reached $700 million in onchain assets three weeks after launch, with $430 million in stablecoins and about $500 million in TVL. Worldcoin Foundation sold 217.4 million WLD to institutions including Pantera Capital for about $52.5 million, implying a price near $0.24 per token, roughly 36% below the current market price, with a one-year lock-up. Movement has filed for bankruptcy after its onchain apps generated less than $800 in daily revenue for an extended period since last November, while daily chain fees stayed in the single digits and were just $1 over the past 24 hours. In another major incident, Wanchain’s Cardano bridge was hit by a suspected exploit that moved roughly 515 million NIGHT, valued at about $9 million, out of the bridge vault. Elsewhere, Stripe is in advanced talks to acquire OpenRouter at a valuation that could reach $10 billion. Odos said it will shut down operations and permanently close all services on July 30. Uniswap introduced a v4 Hook standard for permissioned pools, LayerZero partnered with Keeta on tokenized bank-deposit transfers, PumpFun’s developer posted a growth leadership role with a base salary of up to $1 million, and Jito launched the self-custodial Solana trading platform JTX.2110

Midnight2026-07-22 11:45:42NIGHT rebounds 19% after Wanchain bridge hack as Hoskinson pushes ZK overhaulMidnight token NIGHT rebounded 19% after a Wanchain bridge exploit briefly sent it to an all-time low, according to CoinDesk. Charles Hoskinson said the incident showed why the crypto industry needs to move away from legacy bridge infrastructure. He tied the exploit to a broader call for a revamp in zero-knowledge, or ZK, systems rather than continued reliance on older cross-chain bridge designs. The report was written by Oliver Knight and edited by Jamie Crawley. CoinDesk published the story on July 22, 2026. The article frames the attack as both a market event for NIGHT and a technical warning about bridge architecture still widely used across the industry.1740
Wanchain2026-07-22 11:49:09Wanchain bridge exploit moves 290 million NIGHT, token rebounds nearly 19% in 24 hoursWanchain’s cross-chain bridge was hit by an exploit on Monday, with 290 million NIGHT tokens moved out, according to Odaily. The incident sent NIGHT down about 43% at one point, pushing the token to an all-time low before it recovered part of the loss. Over the following 24 hours, NIGHT rebounded nearly 19%. Charles Hoskinson said the issue stemmed from a legacy bridge architecture built by a third party. He said AI-driven vulnerability discovery is speeding up the exposure of flaws across software systems, not just in crypto. Hoskinson added that zero-knowledge systems such as Midnight offer a longer-term answer by replacing trust in bridge operators and multisig arrangements with cryptographic proofs.1380
Midnight Foun2026-07-21 12:57:46Wanchain Cardano BNB bridge hit in security incident, exchanges curb NIGHT transfersMidnight Foundation said the Wanchain Cardano BNB bridge was hit by a security incident. In response, several major exchanges, including KuCoin, Kraken, Binance, Bybit, OKX, and MEXC, moved to limit the movement of stolen assets. The measures cited in the announcement include freezing related accounts and addresses, blacklisting the attacker’s wallet, and suspending deposits and withdrawals for the NIGHT token. According to the statement, the exchanges characterized the case as an isolated third-party bridge vulnerability rather than an issue tied to Midnight Network itself. The same notice said the incident is unrelated to the Midnight Network mainnet or to the NIGHT asset. No additional loss figures or technical details were disclosed in the source material.1800
Midnight2026-07-21 12:33:44Midnight Foundation says exchanges moved to restrict stolen asset flowsThe Midnight Foundation said multiple crypto exchanges, including KuCoin, Kraken, Binance, Bybit, OKX and MEXC, have taken steps to limit the movement of assets tied to the latest security incident. According to the foundation, those steps include temporarily freezing accounts and addresses connected to the case, blacklisting wallets linked to the attacker, and suspending NIGHT deposits and withdrawals where necessary. Midnight said the breach was caused by a vulnerability in a third-party cross-chain bridge and was not related to the NIGHT token itself. The statement came after an earlier report cited BlockSec Phalcon monitoring that said Wanchain’s Cardano cross-chain bridge had been attacked and that about 515 million NIGHT were stolen. The update focuses on containment measures already taken by exchanges and on Midnight’s position that the token was not the source of the exploit.1850
