We are excited to announce our official partnership with @paywithmana 🤝 manadia is a next-generation data settlement and AI coordination infrastructure backed by $7M in funding, including OKX Ventures, and recently listed on Kraken, Bitget, and MEXC. Together, we’re accelerating AI-powered DeFi with secure infrastructure and seamless on-chain perpetual trading. #Bullbit# #manadia# #PerpDEX# #Base# #DeFi# #AI#

Three signals in the perp space are playing out with real numbers. Signal 1: Prediction markets and perpetuals are converging. In late April, two leading prediction platforms announced perpetual futures on the same day. Meanwhile, on-chain exchanges added prediction market primitives to their matching engines. This isn't two industries anymore—it's one unified trading layer. Prediction market volume already exceeds $21B monthly. Add leverage and 24/7 liquidity, and the combined use case changes everything. Signal 2: On-chain position transparency has shifted from "feature" to "standard." On-chain perp volume hit $6.7 trillion in 2025, up 346% YoY. While centralized venues saw open interest drop 20.8%, on-chain OI surged 229.6%. Capital is voting with its feet—not for more leverage, but for verifiable, auditable positions where margin sits in smart contracts, not on corporate balance sheets. Signal 3: High-performance chain derivatives ecosystems are exploding. One leading chain processed $65B in perp volume in a single month last October. Its aggregator's perpetual product alone handled $250B+ in annual volume. New block-assembly infrastructure now enables on-chain orderbook quality that rivals traditional venues, with multiple native perp protocols launching this year. This isn't one product winning. It's microstructural evolution. Three signals, one direction: trading infrastructure is evolving from fragmented tools into a unified, transparent, 24/7 market layer. This is why @SunX_DEX built for 24/7 multi-asset perpetuals from day one. Not because the wind shifted, but because the foundation was poured in this direction. Convergence, transparency, high-performance derivatives—these aren't 2026 revelations. They were architectural assumptions from the start. Now the market is validating them. The next step is letting the product speak in numbers. #PerpDex# #SunX#

Transparency is core to our mission. On December 11th, a targeted exploit compromised one of our reward contracts. We’re sharing what happened, what we’ve done to fix it, and how we’re making 0G stronger moving forward. An attacker exploited the emergency Withdraw function of our 0G reward contract, used to distribute alignment rewards, and stole 520,010 $0G tokens, which were later bridged and dispersed via Tornado Cash. Root Cause: The attacker accessed a leaked private key from an AliCloud instance. That instance managed NFT status and reward updates, and unfortunately, stored the private key locally, a practice we now know must never happen again. Further Findings: Investigation revealed a broader breach. Multiple AliCloud instances were compromised due to a critical Next.js vulnerability (CVE-2025-66478) exploited on Dec 5. The attacker moved laterally via internal IPs, affecting: → Alignment service → Validator node → Gravity NFT service → Node sale service → Compute, Aiverse, Perpdex, Ascend → …and more. Total confirmed losses: → 520,010 $0G → 9.93 ETH → $4.2K USDT No core chain infrastructure or user funds were affected beyond the reward distribution contract. Actions Taken Immediately: → Revoked and rotated all compromised keys → Purchased & deployed enhanced AliCloud Firewall + Security Suite → Shutdown and rebuilt affected services → Patched critical dependencies (including Next.js) → Removed all plaintext private keys from all instances What’s Next? Our Path Forward → All key-bearing services will be migrated to TEE (Trusted Execution Environments) → Contract permissions will be hardened; only multi-sig wallets will manage critical funds → Alerting pipelines will integrate with TG & Slack → Cloud access will follow least privilege by default → Contract balances will have automatic alert thresholds Security is not a checkbox; it’s a process. This was a painful but necessary wake-up call. We’ve taken responsibility, and we are now embedding zero-trust principles into every part of 0G. To our community: thank you for your support. Your trust is everything. This event will not define us; how we respond will. We’re not just building the future of decentralized AI. We’re building it securely. - The 0G Foundation Team.

PERPLEXITY CEO: “What if we want to reimagine the government itself, where the government runs largely on AI?” ROGAN: “I know a lot of people are hesitant to the idea of AI running government, and I get it. But also look at what the people are doing. Look at how much corruption there is, how much fraud and waste.”
