Resumen

Zeus Wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet, took its infrastructure offline following a cybersecurity attack on Wednesday. The company states that customer funds were not at risk and the incident appears limited to its own infrastructure, not affecting Lightning node software. Founder Evan Kaloudis said the attack was mitigated within hours. Customers who had Lightning Service Provider channels closed will receive replacements upon service restoration. While the nature of the attack and a restoration timeline were not disclosed, Zeus highlighted the incident reinforces its focus on security projects like trusted execution environments and the Validating Lightning Signer. This follows Zeus's recent disabling of swaps due to partner Boltz halting its operations.

Zeus Wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet, took its infrastructure offline after a cybersecurity incident on Wednesday, and is auditing its systems before restoring services.

In an X post announcing the incident, Zeus said the attack did not put customer funds at risk and that it had no evidence the incident affected Lightning node software. “Based on our investigation so far, we believe this incident was limited to Zeus infrastructure,” Zeus founder Evan Kaloudis said in a company blog post.

According to Kaloudis, Zeus mitigated the attack within hours. He said that customers whose Lightning Service Provider (LSP) channels closed during the incident will receive replacement channels once services resume.

The company did not disclose the nature of the attack or provide a timeline for restoring operations. Zeus said the incident reinforces its work on trusted execution environments, also known as enclaves, and the Validating Lightning Signer (VLS) project to strengthen its infrastructure.

Zeus’ move follows its Monday announcement that it would disable swaps following Boltz’s decision to halt operations. Boltz, a non-custodial Bitcoin swap service, said that its platform would remain disabled until further notice.

Cointelegraph requested Zeus provide additional details about the incident but had not received a response by publication.

Altcoin Hacked, Leading to Sharp Price Drop! Also Listed on Major Exchanges!

The price of the NES token plummeted significantly following suspicious activity and large sell-offs detected on the network. Blockchain observers suggested that one wallet minted approximately $55 million worth of NES tokens and began selling them on decentralized exchanges. This selling pressure caused the price of NES to drop by up to 40%. According to the data, the address in question still holds around $18 million worth of NES, indicating that market sell-off pressure may continue. Prior to the incident, it was reported that about $12.35 million worth (62.9 million NES tokens) were transferred to the Ethereum mainnet in the morning (Turkish time), with claims that liquidity was withdrawn and tokens were sold on the market later that evening. However, data regarding the $55 million token mint and the transfer of 62.9 million NES tokens has not been independently confirmed. The NESA team confirmed in a statement that they detected malicious activity exploiting a vulnerability in their Layer 1 network originating from Cosmos EVM. They stated they are working to contain the impact, responded promptly, and will restore services after implementing a software patch and additional measures to ensure secure network operation. Nesa also notified all cryptocurrency exchanges and stated deposit operations will resume after necessary work is completed. The article includes a chart showing the NES price decline following the exploit and concludes with a standard disclaimer that this is not investment advice.

AIF and Digital Asset to Launch RISE Pilot Program on Canton

The American Idea Foundation (AIF) and Digital Asset are collaborating to launch pilot programs for RISE (Resources for Independence, Stability, and Employment) in several U.S. states. The initiative will utilize Digital Asset's Canton blockchain network as its technological foundation. The RISE program aims to streamline the process of receiving multiple government benefits, which currently have separate conditions, payment schedules, and reporting requirements. It plans to consolidate several types of social assistance into monthly or bi-monthly payments. A key feature is the automatic adjustment of payment amounts based on a family's income, including when a member starts a job. The system will also incorporate identity verification, fraud protection, mobile access, and programmable rules for fund usage. The Canton network will provide the infrastructure for transaction processing, access management, payment condition configuration, and distribution oversight. Authorized government agencies, non-profit caseworkers, and independent researchers will have access to transaction and compliance data. The initial pilots will evaluate the program's impact on employment, income, benefit receipt, education, housing stability, and other family economic indicators. The findings will guide decisions on future development, scaling, or modifications to the RISE program.

PeaqOS and World ID Integrate ZK Proofs into Autonomous Robots

The integration of PeaqOS and World ID now allows autonomous machines to verify they are interacting with real, unique individuals without collecting names, photos, or other personal data. This update, available via robotic.sh, enables connected devices to directly request and verify World ID proofs. The system leverages zero-knowledge technology, letting a person prove they are human while maintaining the privacy of their identity. This addresses a key challenge for operators of delivery robots, shared machines, and autonomous systems: how to authenticate a user as genuine without relying on insecure PINs, pickup codes, or traditional identity checks that require personal data collection. Instead of obtaining identifying information, a device receives a cryptographic proof that the user is a real person. PeaqOS acts as a coordination layer, allowing devices to utilize World ID via decentralized identifiers and a device marketplace. A robot can request verification, receive a zero-knowledge proof, and register an auditable record of the interaction—all without exposing underlying personal data. The system also supports uniqueness verification, enabling machines to enforce rules like "one item per person" without maintaining user identity databases. A demonstrated use case involves autonomous medicine delivery: a patient verifies via the World App when placing an order, a pharmacist verifies before loading the medication, and the patient verifies again upon delivery so the robot can confirm the recipient is linked to the order before unlocking the compartment. Similarly, promotional robots could ensure one item per person, and shared vending machines could grant access to verified individuals without requiring accounts or personal data. This integration for PeaqOS-powered robots and devices minimizes the identity information collected or stored while allowing autonomous systems to confirm they are interacting with real humans.

Bitmine Maintains ETH Buying Streak for 14 Months After Surpassing $2.5K

BitMine Immersion Technologies, led by Tom Lee, continued its sustained accumulation of Ethereum last week, purchasing 32,447 ETH. The company has now been buying ETH weekly for about 14 months, since launching its treasury reserve strategy in June 2025. Its total holdings have reached 5.85 million ETH, representing roughly 4.8% of Ethereum's circulating supply and nearing its stated goal of 5%. The firm has also staked 5.07 million ETH, approximately 87% of its assets. The latest purchase coincided with a sharp market-wide rally. ETH surged over 32% after the US Treasury announced plans to increase its monthly purchases of long-term bonds, pushing the price above $2,500 for the first time since January. This price recovery has significantly reduced BitMine's substantial paper losses on its $19.5+ billion ETH treasury investment. These losses have narrowed to under $5 billion from over $8.4 billion just a week ago. Meanwhile, BitMine's stock on the NYSE has risen nearly 28% over the past six months.
