DeFi project Safemoon has announced that its liquidity pool has been compromised, according to a statement on its official Twitter handle. So far, the amount of funds stolen due to the exploit remains unknown. Liquidity Pool Compromised Safemoon stated that it is taking steps to resolve the matter. However, details around the issue remain sketchy at best. “We are taking swift action in an attempt to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Follow here for updates. Thank you for your support as we work to address this situation.” CEO John Karony retweeted the same statement but has not commented further. Safepool is a Metaverse, blockchain, NFT, and Web 3.0 building and innovation ecosystem. However, the company has been at the center of several controversies since its launch in March 2021. The Bug In Question While Safemoon has remained mum about the incident, several others have commented on the developments. Security firm PeckShield has stated that an update to a contract introduced a burn bug that allowed anyone to destroy tokens. PeckShield stated that the upgrade looked to be initiated by a deployer contract, making it possible that there was an admin key leak. However, the firm could not state how much crypto, if any, has been compromised. “Hi @safemoon, The upgrade, with the exploited public burn bug, was initiated by the official SafeMoon: Deployer. (Admin key leak?).” Meanwhile, Web 3.0 developer DeFi mark stated that SafeMoon was hacked for $8.9 million, adding that he was able to identify an obvious exploit. The public burn function allows users to burn tokens from any other address. The attacker exploited this function to remove SFM tokens from the SafeMoon WBNB Liquidity Pool, artificially inflating the price of the native token. Attacker Reaches Out Following the news of the exploit, the protocol’s native SFM token tanked, dropping as much as 30%. However, barely hours after the exploit, the attackers in question responded to a message in the transaction thread, seemingly suggesting that they were willing to return the funds to Safemoon, which indeed they did. Data from Peckshield showed that the attackers had sent 4000 BNB tokens worth $1.2 million. “Hey, relax. We are accidentally frontrun an attack against you. We would like to return the fund, set up a secure communication channel, lets talk.” Controversy’s Child The attack and subsequent compromise could not have come at a worse time for Safemoon, which had recently been promoting its security offering, Orbital Shield. While the exploit is not related to this product, it does not really inspire confidence in the project’s security products. The protocol has been dogged by controversy since its inception in 2021. In 2022, the protocol came under heavy criticism from YouTuber Coffeezilla, who stated that the project’s former CEO, known only as Kyle, had committed fraud. He also alleged that the current CEO had stolen from his own project. The protocol has also been the subject of a number of class action lawsuits, further damaging its reputation. The lawsuits have accused the project of being a pump-and-dump scheme and is in violation of several securities laws. The SFM token saw a considerable surge when one of the lawsuits was dropped. However, that gain proved to be very short-lived. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

The chair of the Treasury Select Committee thinks the speculative nature of crypto assets like NFTs led the Treasury to halt plans for the launch.

The popular project, which launched in September 2022, is using a cross-chain bridge to bring its 15,000-edition generative art collection to Polygon.

Users will receive a transferable non-fungible token representing their request withdrawal for their staked ether.

Future growth in blockchain gaming, NFTs and the need for more decentralized storage could eventually benefit FIL and AR price.

ERC20 tokens are tokens built on the Ethereum blockchain and are standardized to ensure they are compatible with the Ethereum network. This means they can be easily integrated with other Ethereum-based applications, making them highly versatile and easy to use. But why do so many projects choose to release their tokens on the Ethereum blockchain? Well, Ethereum is one of the most popular blockchain platforms in the world, offering developers a wide range of benefits. For starters, it allows for creating smart contracts, self-executing contracts that can automate complex business processes. Additionally, Ethereum has a large and active developer community, so new tools and features are constantly added to the platform. If you're looking to invest in ERC20 tokens in 2023, then you'll want to keep an eye on some of the top projects in the space. In this article, we'll take a look at the top 8 ERC20 tokens to invest in this year. From DigiToads to Calvaria, each of these projects has something unique and is definitely worth considering for your portfolio. 1. DigiToads DigiToads is a new play-to-earn token with a toad-themed ecosystem designed to increase the passive income-earning potential of token holders. Developing a Web3 game where players can purchase, collect, and train toad NFTs as pets is one of the most exciting aspects of DigiToads. These toads can be used in battle and to climb the leaderboard rankings in exchange for the game's native currency, TOADS. At the end of each gaming season, half of the total prize pool, collected from in-game item sales, is distributed proportionally to the top 25 percent of players. Even if players don't finish in the top 25%, they still get 10% of the total prize pool. Additionally, 2% of each TOADS sale is dedicated to the staking pool, implying that players who stake their NFTs are eligible for large payouts. Notably, DigiToads are automatically burned at a rate of 2% of all TOADS transactions, resulting in a decreasing supply and increased potential for long-term appreciation for those who hold it. DigiToads presale has already raised over $340K in two weeks, so the project is truly about to make a revolution in the blockchain gaming industry. For More Information on DigiToads: Visit The Website: https://digitoads.world Join The Community: Linktr.ee/digitoads 2. ApeCoin ApeCoin is a relatively new ERC20 token developed by Yuga Labs, the creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club non-fungible token (NFT) collections. APE is a governance and utility token used as the primary token in Web3 for art, gaming, entertainment, and events. Bored Apes, a collection of 10,000 unique digital artworks, has become a trademark of ApeCoin. ApeCoin is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) whose governance and management are handled by token holders. Therefore, all ApeCoin holders have the opportunity to join the ApeCoin DAO and have a say in how the Ecosystem Fund is distributed, as well as other governance rules, projects, and partnerships. The Ape Improvement Proposal (AIP) Process provides a methodical framework for community members to submit proposals in one of three broad categories: Core, Process, or Informational. 3. Decentraland Decentraland is a widely used metaverse platform that allows for digital advertising for blockchain-friendly brands and play-to-earn crypto games like ICE poker, virtual concerts, and more. Users can buy, sell, and manage virtual reality applications on this platform, encouraging more developers and operators to join the project's global network. The platform's original token, MANA, can be used to purchase LAND. LAND is a non-fungible digital asset stored in an Ethereum smart contract. The MANA currency serves many purposes beyond just facilitating avatar comparisons. In this online environment, users can buy land to construct, explore, and run their own businesses. 4. Uniswap Uniswap is an Ethereum-based protocol for executing decentralized exchanges. It allows users to trade any ERC-20 token without a central intermediary. Launched in November 2018, Uniswapis based on the Ethereum platform and takes advantage of its smart contracts, which carry out actions automatically once certain criteria are met. Since the protocol is freely available, anyone can use it to start new markets or participate in existing ones. The Uniswap protocol relies fundamentally on an AMM structure to facilitate trades. Instead of an order book, this model uses a mathematical algorithm to establish the value of tokens. Traders who contribute liquidity to the protocol do so by placing an equal number of two tokens into a liquidity pool, from which they receive liquidity pool tokens representing a proportional allocation of the pool's total value. In exchange for trading or holding these tokens, users gain access to a proportion of the protocol's transaction fees. 5. Maker Using the Ethereum blockchain, Maker (MKR) operates as a DAO to oversee the Maker Protocol. Dai is a stablecoin whose value is pegged to the US dollar, and it can be created on the Maker protocol, a decentralized lending platform. Using the Maker Protocol, borrowers can secure Ethereum as collateral and borrow Dai at a predetermined collateralization ratio. The system is set up to keep the value of a Dai at 1 USD at all times. MKR is the Maker protocol's token of governance. Holders of MKR can vote on proposed amendments to the protocol, such as the addition or deletion of collateral types and adjustments to the risk parameters. When the collateral value drops below the required collateralization ratio, auctions of unsecured debt are triggered, and MKR holders must participate in keeping the system stable. One of its most notable features is the Maker protocol's flexibility in accepting cryptocurrency, fiat currency, and even other stablecoins as collateral. This ensures that there are no central points of failure in the protocol and that it can continue to operate independently. All transactions and balances in Maker are public and auditable via the blockchain, adding to the protocol's credibility. 6. Yearn Finance Yearn Finance is a DeFi yield farming platform focused on helping its users maximize their cryptocurrency investment returns. Yearn Finance allows owners of ERC20 tokens to either lend out their tokens at potentially high-interest rates or stake them on the blockchain of a given project in exchange for rewards. The Yearn Finance token (YFI) is an ERC20 token unique to the platform. Its primary function is a governance token that entitles token holders to a say in which future projects the platform will support. YFI token holders are also eligible for a cut of the company's profits. A portion of the fees paid by Yean Finance users is allocated to managing the investments delivered to YFI token holders. 7. Dash 2 Trade Dash2Trade, a novel social trading and analytics tool, is another ERC20 token that deserves your attention. Its goal is to arm users with all the data they need to make educated decisions in the cryptocurrency market. Social trading, listing alerts, market news, on-chain analytics, and automated trading tools are just some of the platform's many features. Dash2Trade's native D2T token is what makes the platform work. D2T uses the Ethereum blockchain and has a maximum supply of 1 billion coins. 8. Calvaria Last but not least, we have Calvaria, an innovative crypto-card game. It is the traditional play-to-earn that allows users to earn money by competing against other users. The goal is to create a game that can bridge the gap between the "real world" and the crypto world, making it fun and approachable, and accessible on iPhone, Android, and PC. $RIA will be utilized to support the entire gaming ecosystem and awarded to tournament winners. The tokens are tradable on marketplaces and can be used to purchase virtual goods such as NFT cards. Players will also be rewarded with $eRIA (earned ria) tokens for their time and effort in the game. The $eRIA token will have utility and value in and out of the crypto community. Final Takeaway Investing in ERC20 tokens can be smart for those looking to diversify their cryptocurrency portfolios. With the wide range of benefits, the Ethereum blockchain offers, it's no surprise that many projects choose to release their tokens on this platform. The top 8 ERC20 tokens mentioned in the article offer unique features and growth potential, so diversify your portfolio and maximize your returns in the long term.

The metaverse team at Disney has been laid off as a part of its company-wide staff reduction. What Is Happening To Metaverse Projects? Is the metaverse dream crashing? After Meta shelving its NFT project, Disney has been the next to cull its metaverse plans. According to the latest reports, the entertainment giant recently terminated 50 people who comprised its metaverse team in what the company is calling an attempt to control costs. CEO Bob Iger has called for the need for a streamlined business, and the company is in the process of laying off over 7,000 staff members from its entire roster as a part of this initiative. It looks like the metaverse team was just part of the casualties. It is clear that even Disney is not shielded from the economic downturn impacting large companies and has been forced to rethink expensive dream projects which are not bringing in any immediate revenue. Disney's Web3 Initiatives However, letting go of the metaverse team might indicate an issue deeper than the need to “streamline” business operations. It is clear that the company is questioning the continued value of Web3. The conglomerate had jumped on the Web3 bandwagon, much like all other major entertainment companies. Even though 2022 was a tough year for crypto, that was the year Disney chose to embark on its metaverse journey. The company started off by selecting Polygon as its blockchain partner. It also underwent rampant resource deployment for Web3 and started hiring initiatives for several positions; one of these include an in-house legal counseling position involving NFTs, blockchain, metaverse, and DeFi. Metaverse Shelved With Leadership Changes In February 2022, the former CEO of Disney, Bob Chapek, brought Mike White, who used to be the SVP of consumer experiences and platforms, to head the metaverse division. White was charged with spearheading Disney’s Web3 expansion by developing interactive storytelling using Disney’s extensive library of intellectual property. Soon after, in November 2022, Iger took over the company’s leadership from Chapek and, despite recent developments, appeared quite bullish on the metaverse. However, last month the company announced that budget cuts for around $5.5 billion would soon be happening in the company, which would mean eliminating around 7000 jobs as a part of a broader restructuring. The entire metaverse team, other than White, has been let go, according to reports. Although White has retained his job, it is uncertain what his new position at the company is going to be.

The UK Treasury (HM Treasury) has halted plans to launch a Royal Mint Non-Fungible Token (NFT), as announced by Economic Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Griffith. Initially proposed by then-Chancellor of the Exchequer and current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in April 2022, the project aimed to make the UK a global hub for crypto-assets. However, the project's launch, which was scheduled for the summer of 2022, failed to materialize. Chancellor @RishiSunak has asked @RoyalMintUK to create an NFT to be issued by the summer.This decision shows the the forward-looking approach we are determined to take towards cryptoassets in the UK. pic.twitter.com/cd0tiailBK — HM Treasury (@hmtreasury) April 4, 2022 Harriet Baldwin, head of the Treasury Select Committee, questioned the project's status and voiced concerns about speculative tokens, stating that constituents should be cautious about investing in them. The Royal Mint and Treasury have not provided any further information on the NFT's intended use, prompting skepticism from politicians such as Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves (Labor MP). Despite this initial setback, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has yet to comment on the decision or outline any solid plans for further cryptocurrency adoption in the UK. While the UK Treasury's decision to halt the Royal Mint NFT project raises questions about the future of government-backed crypto initiatives, it also brings to light crucial debates about the role of states and governments in the crypto space. What's at Stake? States or governments, such as the UK, should tread carefully when venturing into non-fungible tokens (NFTs), but it must also be said clearly: the same goes for the crypto community. A critical stance is necessary to be maintained, especially when interacting with any crypto project or initiative that's government-funded. Non-fungible tokens are supposed to be, and are, by design, inherently decentralized. Governments are, on the contrary, the exact opposite. The decentralized nature of crypto clashes with the fundamental components of a state or government, which are made on the foundational principle of authority. An apparatus of control cannot go forth and call itself a supporter (whether by sympathy or by mere association) of decentralization, because it negates the existing platitudes of state authority. There's also the position of regulatory challenges to consider: governments are ipso facto the same bodies that control and oversee the regulated spheres of the crypto industry. The idea of a government-backed NFT initiative, while laudable for its ideals, requires new regulations and enforcement mechanisms to properly execute and ensure the appropriate governance of digital assets. More work for the government means more public resources poured into something that not everyone agrees with or supports. Another tangent is that of possible conflicts of interest if a government launches an NFT project: if the government itself is also responsible for regulating the broader crypto space, what level of transparency could one hope for, and to what extent can a citizenry trust that the government will not exercise its authority to prioritize or defer resources for this project? Such a duality would likely open accusations of bias, potentially hindering the development of a fairly regulated and open crypto ecosystem. For instance, governments may use these technologies to exert control over citizens or bypass international sanctions, which could ultimately harm the reputation and credibility of the entire crypto space. While the idea of government-backed NFTs may seem appealing at first, the potential risks and complications associated with such projects should give both governments and the crypto community reason for caution. The crypto space thrives on decentralization and innovation, and excessive government involvement could stifle the very qualities that have made it so attractive in the first place. As the UK resolves to become a global crypto hub, it has also been mired with inconsistencies in its stance on crypto, Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

The Economic Secretary of the Treasury told Parliament has confirmed the project has been put on the back burner, but will “keep this proposal under review.”

Initially proposed in April 2022, the Royal Mint's plans for an NFT are not moving forward “at this time” but the proposal will remain under review.
