Important notice regarding Neyro Network incident. Our team has reviewed all findings within our scope of engagement. In May 2026, Hacken conducted a smart contract security audit of two contracts on BNB Smart Chain, an initial review and a subsequent remediation review. Nothing beyond those contracts was in scope. Both contracts show no signs of on-chain exploit. The first has never been used since deployment. The second has processed many transactions, all invoking a privileged loop() function restricted to OPERATOR_ROLE — it takes the contract's USDT balance and calls increaseLiquidity() to add liquidity to an existing Uniswap position, with no swaps or arbitrary external calls. To date, no one from the Neyro team has reached out to us regarding this audit or the incident. Full report:

67 incidents. $763.97M gone. Q2 2026 Report is worth reading carefully. Hacken's Security & Compliance Report breaks down what happened, what failed to prevent it, and what that means for the rest of the year:

Official press release British Virgin Islands RWA Inc. Announces Strategic Partnership and Exclusive Security Alliance with @hackenclub to Power the Next Generation of Secure Real-World Asset Tokenization RWA Inc. and @hackenclub join forces to accelerate institutional adoption of tokenized assets through enhanced security standards, smart contract protection, and strategic deal flow opportunities. British Virgin Islands — RWA Inc. — a leading real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and investment ecosystem, today announced a strategic partnership and deal flow alliance with Hacken, a globally recognized blockchain security and cybersecurity company, creating a powerful collaboration designed to strengthen the foundation of the rapidly expanding RWA economy. As the world moves toward the tokenization of real-world assets, security will become one of the most important pillars for market adoption. Through this partnership, RWA Inc. will leverage Hacken's industry-leading blockchain security expertise for all RWA Inc. smart contract audits, while also providing access to Hacken's security capabilities for RWA Inc. clients launching tokenization projects through the ecosystem. Hacken's smart contract audit process combines expert code review, automated testing, vulnerability analysis, and security assessment methodologies designed to identify risks before deployment. Hacken has established itself as a trusted security partner for Web3 projects, enterprises, and blockchain ecosystems globally. Security Becomes the Backbone of the RWA Revolution Real-world asset tokenization represents one of the largest opportunities in blockchain history, bringing traditional assets such as real estate, commodities, private equity, financial instruments, and other valuable assets onto blockchain infrastructure. However, mass adoption requires more than simply creating digital representations of assets — it requires trust in the form of verification. Smart contracts are the foundation of tokenized assets. They manage ownership structures, transfers, distributions, compliance logic, and interactions between participants. Any vulnerability within these contracts can create significant risks for investors, businesses, and institutions. By integrating Hacken's security expertise into the RWA Inc. ecosystem and blockchain infrastructure, every project built through RWA Inc. will have access to professional smart contract auditing standards designed to increase transparency, reliability, and confidence. RWA Inc. + Hacken: Building a Safer Tokenized Economy Under this strategic partnership: RWA Inc. will utilize Hacken for smart contract audits across its own ecosystem. RWA Inc. clients will have access to Hacken's smart contract audit services for their tokenization projects. Both companies will collaborate on deal flow opportunities, connecting high-quality RWA projects with secure blockchain infrastructure and potentially driving significant TVL towards the RWA Inc. blockchain. The partnership will promote security-first tokenization standards for the next wave of institutional adoption. Hacken already provides dedicated RWA smart contract security services, supporting tokenization projects by reviewing contract logic, dependencies, functionality, and potential vulnerabilities. Disrupting the Real-World Asset Market Together The combination of RWA Inc.'s tokenization ecosystem and Hacken's blockchain security expertise creates a unique value proposition for the future of digital assets. RWA Inc. is focused on enabling the tokenization and commercialization of real-world assets by connecting asset owners, investors, and blockchain technology. Hacken brings deep cybersecurity knowledge and proven smart contract security capabilities to ensure that this emerging financial infrastructure is built with protection at its core. Together, RWA Inc. and Hacken aim to help solve one of the biggest challenges facing the RWA sector: creating a trusted environment where institutions and investors can confidently participate in tokenized markets. About RWA Inc. RWA Inc. is a real-world asset tokenization company focused on bridging traditional assets with blockchain technology. The company provides infrastructure, solutions, and ecosystem support designed to help businesses tokenize, manage, and access real-world assets in the digital economy.

Hacken was built to make Web3 a safer place. Nine years in, that mission looks very different from where it started. It started with whether code holding digital assets was secure. That question has not gone away. But now it’s a part of a much more complex list of requirements: governance, cybersecurity, continuous monitoring, and regulatory compliance across dozens of articles at once. The reason requirements grew is visible in where the institutional capital is pointing. Major banks and consultancies project that blockchain will become a structural layer of public financial markets. They also name that barriers to broader adoption are trust and regulatory clarity, rather than technology. That alone signals how much has changed: the crypto of 2017 and the digital asset industry of 2026 are not the same thing. Hacken's solutions have expanded with each new requirement the market placed on digital assets: from smart contract audits in 2018 to establishing institutional trust with solutions for licensing, market entry, AI, resilience frameworks, CORE3 risk intelligence, crypto yield audit, and risk score today. More than 2,000 blockchain entities have gone through that process with us. Nine years later, the architecture of trust in digital assets is still being built. This piece is our read on where it goes next 👉

🤝 @TAGITNETWORK and @Dappitdotio have completed KYC and Due Diligence verification through Hacken Advisory. KYC and Due Diligence verification signals that a project is ready to be held accountable to its investors, community, and the broader market. It is one of the foundational steps teams take before fundraising. Hacken Advisory helps Web3 projects build compliant, audit-ready operations across licensing, governance, and regulatory frameworks.

The Trust and Security framework for Agentic DeFi is here. Developed by @owneydotapp in collaboration with Hacken, @Core3io, and @CODESPECT. This framework scores each agent from 0 to 10 on observable, cited evidence such as an audit report, published documentation, on-chain configuration, or third-party data. For fund managers, wallets, neobanks, and institutional allocators, the framework brings more confidence, trust, and security to an Agentic DeFi yield.

AI has not triggered a DeFi hackpocalypse. 88% of Q2 losses: compromised keys, infrastructure failures, human error. The hype is ahead of the incident data – but the capability curve is catching up. Hacken in @Cointelegraph:

New security assessments completed. Our team conducted smart contract audits for @zendexfi and @gmartification, and an API penetration test for NYALA. Full reports:

In @hackenclub’s Q2 2026 Security & Compliance Report, @TomerWeller shares his perspective on the Architecture of Trust and the security principles underpinning institutional blockchain adoption. Read the report (linked below 👇)

Our Q2 2026 Security & Compliance Report has been released ⬇️ $763.9M was stolen across 67 incidents, the worst since Q2 2025. 88% of the losses came down to operations. Smart contracts were still the most common failure point, 44/67 incidents, but they accounted for just 11% of the funds lost. All of this happens as MiCA comes into force, where only about 20% of registered firms secured authorization, roughly 210 of the more than 1,200 that once declared intent. This quarter's report is built around one idea, the Architecture of Trust: how security, compliance, and risk intelligence together influence which teams institutions are willing to work with. Inside, we cover: ▫️MiCA/DORA and the GENIUS Act ▫️Stablecoin regulations ▫️AI regulation across the EU and US ▫️How allocators run due diligence ▫️What comes next in Q3 2026 As digital assets become more exposed to public markets, institutional capital increasingly follows issuers that can consistently demonstrate they remain safe and sound. Built with input from @chainlink, @moodysratings, @Bybit_Official, @SuiNetwork, @StellarOrg, @1MoneyNetwork, Abraxas Capital, @AlliumLabs, @svrn_ai, @EisnerAmper, DA Insured, @howdenlocaluk – alongside Hacken.
