Blockchain intelligence company AMLBot's monitoring data shows that recently Polymarket users on the Polygon network had approximately $3.1 million PUSD stolen due to a front-end malicious script intrusion.The attackers implanted a malicious script that induced users to sign authorization transactions (involving EIP-7702 delegated execution), resulting in the users' wallets being emptied. The stolen funds were then converted to USDC.e through Relay, bridged to Ethereum, and ultimately exchanged for ETH, which was concentrated in a designated address. Currently, about 1891.9 ETH is distributed across three new wallets.AMLBot pointed out that this attack is similar to the incident involving the 2024 1inch web application, where a wallet theft script was implanted in the Lottie Player library, both cases involved third-party scripts being compromised, leading to front-end contamination.

According to CoinDesk, major lobbying organizations in the U.S. cryptocurrency industry jointly sent a letter to the House Ways and Means Committee, urging the advancement of the "Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act," advocating for tax treatment options for cryptocurrency miners and staking income recipients. The bill was introduced by Republican Congressman Mike Carey, and its core content allows taxpayers to choose the timing of taxation when they receive new mining or staking assets—either paying taxes at the time the assets are generated or deferring taxes until the final sale.Industry associations, including the Blockchain Association, Digital Chamber, and Crypto Council for Innovation, have expressed support, arguing that the current tax system may force users participating in network security maintenance to bear tax burdens before they have realized the assets. Supporters claim that the proposal does not provide "indefinite deferral," but rather avoids immediate taxation on income that has not yet realized liquidity, thereby alleviating cash flow pressure on miners and validators.However, Democratic lawmakers and some external critics are concerned that this mechanism could be exploited by large mining companies for long-term tax deferral, especially in the context of some publicly listed or politically connected companies participating in mining operations, raising potential policy arbitrage disputes. Meanwhile, the industry's focus remains on the broader "Digital Asset Market Structure Act" (Clarity Act), but tax issues have become the second key battleground, expected to continue advancing in tandem with regulatory framework legislation in the coming weeks.

Blockchain security company Blockaid stated that its detection system found signs of a front-end attack on the Gitcoin subdomain files[.]gitcoin[.]co, with suspected malicious code named "Eleven drainer" included in the website, used for wallet asset theft.

The cross-chain network Everclear officially announced on social media that it has decided to end the operations of the Everclear Foundation and Labs, and to stop product development. Currently, the protocol has been shut down, and the Everclear UI and chain have ceased operation. The team stated that the remaining TVL in the protocol has been fully withdrawn, and to their knowledge, no user funds are trapped.Regarding the reasons for the shutdown, Everclear stated that although the monthly trading volume had previously reached $500 million, the team failed to establish sufficient commercial depth and convert it into effective revenue due to users' high price sensitivity in the cross-chain solver field. Additionally, the team exhausted its funds (runway) during the transition to a B2B2C model over the past six months, and several acquisition proposals explored were also unsuccessful.For future arrangements, Everclear is conducting an orderly liquidation to address outstanding debts. The team stated that if there are remaining funds after the debts are settled, they will explore repurchasing existing tokens, with a potential total repurchase amount estimated between $50,000 and $200,000, but this has not yet been finalized. Furthermore, the foundation is considering open-sourcing the protocol's intellectual property (IP) to give the DAO the option to continue advancing work under new management; currently, the DAO itself is still operational.
