DeFi Disaster: Zkasino.oi Takes $33M User Funds to Lido Finance, Investors Cry Rug Pull. The Wild West of DeFi strikes again! Zkasino.oi, a newly launched gambling platform, has left investors fuming after allegedly taking control of $33 million in user funds and staking them on Lido Finance. Red Flags Everywhere: #1 Bridge to Nowhere: ZKasino's "bridge-to-earn" campaign promised high yields. Instead, user ETH vanished into a 404 error. #2 Forced Conversion: Users' deposits were swapped without consent to ZKasino's locked-up token, a classic bait-and-switch tactic. #3 Dubious Claims: ZKasino touted zkSync and EigenDA tech, but evidence suggests a cheap Arbitrum copy with zero privacy features. #4 Questionable Audits: A pre-audit by ChatGPT raises serious red flags, and CertiK's alleged full audit remains unseen. Investors Betrayed: - Telegram Terror: Communication abruptly ceased, with the ZKasino team blaming "hired hitmen" for shutting down their Telegram group. (Unlikely.) - Known Bad Actors: ZKasino's founders have a history of unpaid debts, raising concerns from prominent blockchain detectives like ZachXBT. - Threats & Lies: Investors were threatened with withheld tokens if they questioned the project, while accusations were dismissed as "FUD." Million Dollar Mystery: - Surprise Funding: ZKasino secured $26 million in Series A funding from reputable VCs. However, some are now distancing themselves, claiming they were misled. - Funds in Lido Finance Limbo: The stolen ETH sits staked in Lido, inaccessible to investors and potentially fueling suspicions of a deliberate exit scam. What Now for DeFi? This shocking event underscores the need for: 1. Stronger Due Diligence: Investors must thoroughly vet projects before investing, focusing on team reputation and code audits from credible firms. 2. Regulatory Clarity: Clearer DeFi regulations can help protect investors and foster responsible innovation. This incident serves as a cautionary tale for all involved in the DeFi space. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and protect your crypto assets. 🔔Follow 👉 @Ignacio Ceaglio & share ♻️ with your network for more valuable #Blockchain and #Web3.0 insights📲. #DeFi #RugPull #ZKasino #Lido #Blockchain #Cryptocurrency #Investment #Scams #Regulation #Security https://lnkd.in/gdQJN9HS

PUSO 🚀 PUSO is a decentralized, over-collateralized algorithmic stablecoin on the Mento Labs platform that tracks the Philippine Peso. Stablecoins can reduce the risk of price volatility. Unlike fiat-backed stablecoins, algorithmic stablecoins using an open-source, smart contract-based stability mechanism maintain their value more transparently, eliminating centralized credit or counterparty risks. Like the Celo Foundation Dollar (cUSD) and Celo Euro (cEUR), and Celo Kenya Shilling (cKES), the Philippine Peso stablecoin (PUSO) is built on the Mento Platform and backed by multiple digital assets, including USDT, USDC, BTC and ETH, within the Mento Reserve. At the time of writing, the Mento Reserver website lists a collateralization ratio of greater than 4x.

TON to Launch Synthetic Bitcoin to Boost DeFi Solutions The Open Network (TON) is preparing to launch a synthetic version of Bitcoin (BTC) to expand its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This synthetic BTC will allow users to engage with Bitcoin’s value and functionality directly within the TON ecosystem, creating new DeFi opportunities while retaining Bitcoin's security attributes. 🔑 Why Synthetic Bitcoin Matters for TON’s DeFi Growth The introduction of synthetic BTC on TON aims to bridge Bitcoin’s value with TON's blockchain, which offers high-speed, low-cost transactions. By pegging synthetic BTC to real Bitcoin reserves, users can engage in DeFi without transferring actual BTC. This synthetic asset will allow access to lending, staking, and yield farming within the TON network, enhancing liquidity while offering Bitcoin holders a seamless way to participate in DeFi. 📈 Technical Aspects and Security TON’s synthetic BTC will be backed by smart contracts and oracles to ensure accurate price tracking and asset stability, minimizing risks associated with traditional custodial methods. The development emphasizes interoperability, making it compatible with multiple DeFi protocols across TON’s ecosystem while ensuring transparency and security. 🌐 Impact on the Broader DeFi and Bitcoin Ecosystem Synthetic Bitcoin on TON strengthens Bitcoin’s role in DeFi by giving BTC holders more opportunities for yield without leaving the security of their primary blockchain. This move positions TON as a competitor in multi-chain DeFi ecosystems, potentially attracting more liquidity to TON and expanding the overall DeFi landscape. TON’s synthetic BTC launch represents a promising bridge for Bitcoin into DeFi, combining Bitcoin’s store of value with TON’s scalable infrastructure. #TON #Bitcoin #SyntheticBTC #DeFi #Blockchain #CryptoInnovation #YieldFarming #Interoperability #TONDeFi

Let's discuss what's happening with USD0++ and why robust market infrastructure matters: The token USD0++ just experienced a significant depeg. With $200M+ in borrowing on Morpho Labs alone using USD0++ as collateral, many positions are now below the 86% liquidation threshold. This situation highlights a critical market infrastructure challenge: when oracle prices are hardcoded, it creates artificial constraints that can amplify market stress. We're seeing this play out as suppliers exit, driving borrow rates higher. The core issue? USD0++ is structured as a 4-year bond, but was trading without an illiquidity discount. Now reality is catching up. This isn't about collateral quality - it's about the mismatch between perceived and actual liquidity timeframes. This event reinforces why we're building Pyth Network: markets need reliable, real-time price data that reflects actual market conditions. Hard-coded prices and artificial constraints create systemic risks that ripple through DeFi. Wishing the best to USD0++ holders and the Usual team as this situation unfolds. These are the growing pains that push our industry to build more robust infrastructure. Remember: in traditional markets, price discovery is sacred. DeFi shouldn't be different.
