On-chain detective ZachXBT has revealed that American hacker Dritan Kapllani Jr. is suspected of participating in a social engineering theft targeting crypto users, amounting to approximately $19 million. ZachXBT stated that Dritan has long flaunted luxury cars, high-end watches, private jets, and nightlife on social media. During a 'Band 4 Band (B4B)' voice chat on Discord on April 23, 2026, he publicly showcased an Exodus wallet containing $3.68 million in assets to prove he was wealthier than another hacker. ZachXBT tracked the address and found it linked to a social engineering theft on March 14, 2026, involving 185 BTC (approximately $13 million). The following day, Dritan's Exodus wallet received about $5.3 million from that theft. As of the B4B call six weeks later, approximately $1.6 million had been spent or laundered. ZachXBT noted that Dritan has been active in the hacker community 'The Com' and had previously not faced formal charges due to his minor status, but he is now over 18 years old.

On May 12, ZK intelligent verifiable computing platform Brevis officially announced the launch of Pico Prism 2.0, which brings a full-stack upgrade to its Ethereum real-time block proof system, now officially live on the Ethereum mainnet (with a 60 million Gas limit). According to official disclosures, the average proof generation time per block for Pico Prism 2.0 is approximately 6.1 seconds, with 99.9% of blocks confirmed within a 12-second block interval. The system operates on a dual-machine hardware configuration consisting of 16 RTX 5090 GPUs across two machines, with a total cost of about $100,000. Under the same testing conditions, the computational efficiency has improved by approximately 5.3 times compared to the previous generation Pico Prism 1.0. This upgrade meets the real-time proof performance targets set by the Ethereum Foundation, including an average latency of under 10 seconds and local deployment hardware costs kept below $100,000. This milestone also indicates that real-time ZK proofs on the Ethereum chain are now feasible. Previously, Brevis was selected for the Ethereum Foundation's 'On-Prem Proving Initiative', which is set to launch in May 2026, aiming to test whether ZK proofs can scale as decentralized infrastructure without relying on a few cloud service providers, marking the closest rehearsal to actual integration of L1 zkEVM to date.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating and reported by TechCrunch, during last year's holiday season, Amazon's Ring evaluated over 40 companies when selecting an AI voice provider due to a surge in customer support calls, ultimately choosing the startup Vapi to handle its incoming call operations. Currently, Ring has integrated 100% of its incoming calls into the Vapi platform. Sources indicate that this deployment helped Vapi secure $50 million in Series B funding led by Peak XV Partners, with a post-money valuation of approximately $500 million. Vapi CEO Jordan Dearsley stated that Ring began engaging with Vapi in the middle of the fourth quarter last year, weighing whether to expand call center capacity, rely more on traditional automated phone systems, or deploy AI intelligent agents that can respond to customers in a more natural manner. Dearsley believes that Ring chose Vapi because the platform allows Ring engineers to have fine-grained control over the behavior of AI agents in real customer interactions.
