Harmony Protocol released an event update stating that an unauthorized ONE minting incident occurred. Investigations show that the attacker exploited a cross-shard receipt replay vulnerability, allowing processed cross-shard receipts to be executed multiple times, and minted ONE in empty blocks.The team is currently verifying two sets of impact data: early analysis indicates that the first round of minting involved 4 billion ONE, while the latest on-chain reconstruction shows that approximately 3.01 trillion ONE were issued to four attacker wallets through six forged cross-shard transactions. Harmony Protocol confirmed the first round of minting of 4 billion ONE, generated through two empty block accounting transactions that produced 1 billion and 3 billion ONE respectively, of which 2.8 billion ONE were subsequently transferred to other attacker addresses.The team has fixed the cross-shard receipt verification and pre-staking committee quorum verification vulnerabilities and deployed Mainnet v2026.1.1. Bridge services have been suspended, and Harmony Protocol is coordinating with validators, trading platforms, and LayerZero to freeze related funds, preparing to roll back the network to block 92,730,034 before the attack occurred. Currently, Shard 0 has been paused at block 92,753,555, and the official RPC may return a 502 error as a result.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on the X platform that although the U.S. Senate has postponed the key procedural vote on the CLARITY Act until September, regulators are preparing to advance their own cryptocurrency issuance rules framework. The Senate previously failed to complete the procedural vote on the CLARITY Act, and the related agenda has been postponed until September. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has submitted a procedural motion, and a new voting window is expected around mid-September.Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing a new rule proposal for cryptocurrency asset issuance activities. Market participants believe that even if the legislative process for the CLARITY Act is delayed, regulators may still push for digital asset market structure reform through administrative rules.Analysts point out that in the coming months, the U.S. crypto regulatory path may see a "dual-track advancement": on one hand, Congress continues to push market structure legislation like the CLARITY Act; on the other hand, the SEC may establish a regulatory framework for token issuance, trading platforms, and digital asset service providers through rulemaking.

Flashbots strategic leader Hasu stated that charging fees to passive holders, allowing them to pay for projects investing in your ecosystem (such as Lido, Aave, and DAT, which collectively fund Ethereum client teams, multiple EF derivative projects, overall DeFi construction, etc.), is actually very good. The problem with Ethereum has never been excessive ETH issuance, but rather insufficient ecosystem investment.Reducing inflation will inevitably suppress investment reduction.
