Yuga Labs' Vice President of Blockchain, Quit, posted on the X platform stating that the claims portal for the NFT theft incident currently under construction is expected to go live in the next few hours, and a dedicated address nftsaresafu.eth has been created to accept ETH and other token donations.Quit mentioned that in addition to spending a significant amount of time, he paid approximately $7,500 in gas fees last night to handle related matters and thanked the community for their support through channels like X Money.Previously, it was reported that the NFT marketplace Magic Eden appeared to have a security vulnerability, with white hat hackers transferring 3,832 NFTs from hundreds of wallets, valued at approximately $1.5 million.

The Sui ecosystem decentralized finance protocol AlphaFi announced the initiation of an orderly shutdown procedure. It has now entered maintenance mode, halting new deposits and loans. Existing users can still close positions and withdraw assets.Previously, some loan positions in AlphaLend that used ALPHA as collateral experienced severe under-collateralization, leading to bad debts for the protocol. Currently, the related bad debts have been fully covered, and the protocol is solvent, ensuring user fund safety. AlphaFi will continue to cooperate with the Sui Foundation to investigate and recover related debts, and will officially exit the Sui ecosystem after the last user completes their withdrawal.

Two ChatGPT users from California filed a proposed class action lawsuit against OpenAI in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California this month, accusing the company of failing to adequately inform users that their real conversations were being handed over to external contractors for processing. The lawsuit was served to OpenAI on September 2, focusing on its internal initiative Project Lily. According to the complaint, "AI data reviewers" and "chatbot evaluators" recruited through a third-party staffing company read real ChatGPT prompts and complete conversations, summarize user intent, and score and comment on responses from four models on a scale of 1 to 7.This process is known in the industry as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), which is a fundamental method for enhancing chatbot capabilities. The complaint states that users were never explicitly informed that a person, rather than a machine, might be reading their conversations. OpenAI filters conversations through an automated system before human review, but the complaint alleges that the filters cannot intercept all content, and personal details sometimes still reach contractors. 404 Media first reported on the project on September 14 and found that the reviewers' dashboard included "user memory summaries," which could expose users' approximate locations, occupations, or private life information, even though usernames had been removed.OpenAI stated that such reviews aim to reduce two behaviors: chatbots behaving too much like humans and overly catering to users, referred to by researchers as "flattery." The complaint raises eight legal claims, including violations of California's Unfair Competition Law, Consumer Privacy Act, and common law claims for intrusion into private affairs, with the plaintiffs seeking damages, restitution of unjust enrichment, and punitive damages.

On Friday, asset management company VanEck released a report on the compensation of executives at the top ten digital asset treasury companies, rating the compensation structure of the Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet as "poor," making it the only company to fall into the lowest rating. The report shows that Metaplanet's equity plan corresponds to 14.7% of fully diluted shares, with executive risk exposure at 8.2%, which is ten times the average level of 0.8% for the other nine companies, and the scale of the equity plan is also nearly four times the industry average.In comparison, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Strategy, has an equity plan that accounts for only 2% of fully diluted shares, with executive risk exposure at 0.5%, and its compensation structure rated as "good." Metaplanet currently ranks third among publicly listed companies in Bitcoin holdings with 43,000 BTC. VanEck pointed out that the gap partly stems from Metaplanet's previous compensation mechanism: the option pool automatically expanded when the company issued shares to purchase Bitcoin, causing it to swell from 46 million shares to 319.5 million shares, adding approximately 273 million potential shares, which drew criticism from shareholders at the time.Metaplanet terminated the automatic adjustment mechanism at the end of August and reduced the option pool by 41% to 188.2 million shares in September, but VanEck believes these adjustments are still "far from satisfactory," calling for the retraction of the expansion of approximately 273 million shares in favor of a shareholder-approved compensation plan, while also suggesting that executive compensation be linked to the number of Bitcoins corresponding to each fully diluted share and adopting a written grant timing policy.

According to CNBC, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev responded to AMC CEO Adam Aron's criticism of the stock token business, stating that after a company goes public, its stocks will become transferable property, and other financial institutions should be able to create financial products referencing the relevant stocks without needing the issuer's permission.Tenev stated that publicly traded companies have the right to control their own rights and obligations regarding the issuance of stocks, but cannot control other companies issuing securities that reference their stocks. Robinhood's stock tokens are issued by independent entities and are backed by the underlying stocks, so obtaining the consent of the publicly traded company should not be automatically required.Tenev also acknowledged that holders of stock tokens do not have voting rights in the underlying company. These tokens are designed as debt securities supported by the underlying stocks. As for how Robinhood will exercise the voting rights associated with the underlying stocks, the company has stated that it has not announced any related plans.

The tenth round of executive option pool at Japan's Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet continues to spark shareholder dissatisfaction. This option pool was originally designed to be 20% of the fully diluted equity and automatically expands as the company issues new shares to increase its Bitcoin holdings. Some shareholders are calling for the cancellation of the newly added 273 million shares and for greater transparency in future decision-making. On August 18, Metaplanet froze the option pool at 319.5 million shares, but critics argue that this actually amplifies the dilution for existing shareholders, as the option pool increased from 46 million shares to 319.5 million shares.Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich has committed to re-evaluating the company's governance and compensation policies and clarifying its relationship with shareholder MMXX Ventures, stating that it is merely a non-controlling significant shareholder of MMXX's parent company and does not hold an executive position. On August 31, Metaplanet disclosed that Gerovich had exercised 92,000 shares from the option pool. Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, suggested freezing further exercise rights of the tenth round option pool, allowing holders to voluntarily waive excess rights, and replacing the tenth round option pool with a five-year incentive plan primarily linked to each share's fully diluted Bitcoin holdings, approved by shareholders.In its announcement on August 18, Metaplanet acknowledged that the decision to expand the option pool "amplified the dilution borne by existing shareholders." As of Wednesday's close in Tokyo, Metaplanet's stock price rose, narrowing the five-day decline to about 16.3%.

According to official news, The Sandbox announced the official opening of SAND compensation claims. Users affected by the cross-chain contract vulnerability incident involving Base and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) networks on August 22, who held bridged SAND on the affected networks before the incident, can receive full compensation in SAND on the Ethereum network at a 1:1 ratio. Eligibility for compensation is based on the on-chain balance snapshot before the incident and is unrelated to any transactions, transfers, or holdings by users after the incident.The Sandbox stated that eligibility for compensation is determined based on the on-chain balance recorded before the contract was compromised. The snapshot for the Base network corresponds to block 50283188 at 23:42:03 UTC on August 21, 2026, and the BSC snapshot corresponds to block 117322025 at 11:42:44 UTC on August 21, 2026.Users holding Base or BSC network SAND through centralized exchanges do not need to take any action, as The Sandbox is coordinating with the relevant exchanges to handle compensation; however, users holding SAND in personal wallets will need to claim it themselves. The claim period is from September 8 to September 22, 24:00 (UTC+8). Claims only require a transaction initiated from the original wallet that held SAND at the time of the snapshot, without the need for token authorization, signing off-chain messages, or transferring to any address.

The cross-chain protocol Router Protocol announced that after more than four years of development, it has decided to gradually cease operations and will fully shut down before September 30, 2026. The team stated that over the past two years, Web3 liquidity has remained scarce, the market focus has shifted to AI, the enthusiasm for cross-chain interoperability has waned, and the revenue from bridging services has been insufficient to cover costs. Although various paths such as commercialization, licensing, and acquisitions were attempted in the past year, no sustainable solution was achieved. Router Protocol will permanently destroy 303,333,198 ROUTE tokens pending in the treasury and will coordinate with centralized exchanges to delist ROUTE. Holders need to withdraw their tokens according to the arrangements of each exchange before the deadline. In addition, the project will not launch any new plans related to ROUTE and plans to open-source some technical components for community use.

According to the Guangzhou Daily New Flower City report, a man in Guangzhou lent 1 virtual currency to a friend, agreeing to return it two days later. After the other party failed to return it on time, he was sued, with the plaintiff requesting the return of the virtual currency or compensation at market price.The Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court ruled that the relevant virtual currency lending agreement was invalid and did not support the return of the virtual currency or compensation at market price. Virtual currency belongs to online virtual property, and the borrower should still compensate the lender for property losses, ultimately ruling to compensate 199,600 yuan based on the cost price at which the lender purchased the virtual currency.

US President Trump stated on social media that Iran has officially become a failed state. It is "dead"! They have no navy, no air force, no currency, they cannot afford to pay soldiers and police, the inflation rate is as high as 300%, and their leadership is completely chaotic, unable to properly represent the country.The only things they have are "fake news" from the United States, the willingness to kill protesters (over 100,000 have died so far. They must be tried for crimes against humanity!), and a set of nice "nonsense."

HyENA announced that it will cease operations and close all markets, with user funds unaffected. The official statement indicated that HyENA was built on the Hyperliquid HIP-3 standard and Ethena's USDe, allowing traders to earn profits while using USDe as margin for trading perpetual contracts, processing a cumulative trading volume of over $4 billion, serving more than 12,000 traders, and distributing nearly 2.5 million USDe rewards to margin users.The official statement noted that with the further alignment of Hyperliquid and USDC, the development space for USDe margin on the platform has changed, leading to the decision to terminate HyENA. Markets will be delisted in the order of one market per hour from August 31 to September 2, with positions automatically settled at the final marked price, and margins returned to the spot balance. HLPe deposits can be claimed at a 1:1 ratio along with accumulated rewards and withdrawn via Upshift, with the final reward distribution date set for August 27 and the final affiliate commission payment date on September 9.Additionally, the Ethena exchange reward program ended in June 2026, and HyENA points will remain in their final state, with no snapshots, conversions, or distributions taking place, and they hold no monetary value. The official emphasized that HyENA has no tokens and no issuance plans.

The Sandbox released an update on the security vulnerability attack incident involving the SAND cross-chain bridge, stating that the attacker modified the verification mechanism to forge cross-chain deposit messages and mint unbacked SAND. This incident resulted in approximately 14.7423 million SAND being withdrawn, valued at about $697,000. Additionally, some uncollateralized SAND was profited through market trading, leading to an overall economic impact of approximately $1.497 million, of which the attacker actually obtained about $987,000.The Sandbox stated that the attack did not affect the supply of SAND on Ethereum and Polygon, with the total amount of SAND on Ethereum remaining unchanged at 3 billion. There were also no super administrator privileges stolen, and the attack stemmed from a vulnerability caused by the combination of the general call function in the token contract and the design of bridge permissions. Currently, the related addresses have been marked, and collaboration has begun with exchanges, security agencies, and the LayerZero team.For affected users, The Sandbox promises to compensate wallets holding legitimate bridged SAND with a 1:1 ratio of SAND on the Ethereum chain based on an on-chain snapshot taken before the attack. The compensation application process is expected to open within two weeks and will last for two weeks.
