ETHGas: A DeFi Project Born to Solve Ethereum's High Gas Fees and Network Congestion

Project Introduction

ETHGas is dedicated to building real-time infrastructure for Ethereum. By partnering with top-tier protocols, it aims to marketize block space, achieving the vision of "Instant Ethereum, Invisible Gas" through 3-millisecond pre-confirmation technology. The core purpose of ETHGas is to address the pain point of high mainnet Gas fees. It collaborates with protocols to partially or fully refund Gas fees to users, significantly reducing or even eliminating Gas costs when using these protocols.

ETHGas completed a $12 million seed round financing on December 17, 2025, led by Polychain Capital, with participation from Stake Capital, BlueYard Capital, Lafayette Macro Advisors, SIG DT, and Amber Group. The project had previously completed an undisclosed Pre-Seed round of approximately $5 million in mid-2024.

Token Model

The total supply of the ETHGas project's token, GWEI, is 10 billion. The allocation is as follows: Ecosystem 31%, Investors 27%, Team 22%, Community 10%, Foundation 8%, and Advisors 2% (specific unlocking details and other fine print were not disclosed).

Token Airdrop Details

According to the latest information from the official Discord, the platform's Beans points snapshot will be taken at 8:00 AM Beijing Time on January 19.

Additionally, interaction points obtained in Discord can be exchanged for Beans points. The snapshot for this is scheduled for 8:00 AM Beijing Time on January 15. Interaction points obtained on Discord on January 16 will be displayed in the user's personal panel on the platform. To ensure a smooth exchange of Discord interaction points, users need to create an account on the platform and link their Discord account by January 15.

Therefore, what needs to be done now is to update your Gas ID. The Gas ID records the user's on-chain Gas consumption, and it is recommended that existing users also reapply.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

STEP 1. Go to the interaction website (Link: https://www.ethgas.com/community/onboarding/) and bind your personal X account.

STEP 2. After entering the main page, click the avatar in the upper right corner to bind your personal Web3 wallet.

STEP 3. Go to the "Gas Report" section, follow the official Twitter, and select "Generate Gas Report" to generate your personal Gas report. It's currently very popular, so you may need to queue and wait.

STEP 4. Return to the main page to view social tasks and referral tasks. Complete the tasks to receive corresponding point rewards.

$292 Million KelpDAO Cross-Chain Bridge Hack: Who Should Foot the Bill?

On April 18, 2026, an attacker stole 116,500 rsETH (worth ~$292M) from KelpDAO’s cross-chain bridge in 46 minutes—the largest DeFi exploit of 2026. The stolen assets were deposited into Aave V3 as collateral, causing $177–200M in bad debt and triggering a cascade of losses across nine DeFi protocols. Aave’s TVL dropped by ~$6B overnight. This legal analysis argues that KelpDAO and LayerZero Labs share concurrent liability, with fault apportioned 60%/40%. KelpDAO negligently configured its bridge with a 1-of-1 decentralized verifier network (DVN)—a single point of failure—despite LayerZero’s explicit recommendation of a 2-of-3 setup. LayerZero, which operated the compromised DVN, failed to secure its RPC infrastructure against a known poisoning attack vector. Both protocols’ terms of service cap liability at $200 (KelpDAO) or $50 (LayerZero), but these limits are likely unenforceable due to unconscionability, gross negligence exceptions, and potential securities law invalidation (if rsETH is deemed a security under the Howey test). Aave’s governance also faces fiduciary duty claims for raising rsETH’s loan-to-value ratio to 93%—far above competitors’ 72–75%—without adequately assessing bridge risks, amplifying the systemic fallout. Practical recovery targets include LayerZero Labs (a registered Canadian entity), KelpDAO’s founders, auditors, and identifiable Aave governance delegates. The incident underscores escalating legal risks for DeFi protocols, infrastructure providers, and governance participants.

Insider Trading in War: 5 People Involved, the Highest Earner Was Arrested

On April 24, the U.S. Department of Justice arrested U.S. Army Special Forces Staff Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke for insider trading related to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on January 3. Van Dyke allegedly profited over $400,000 by placing bets on a prediction market, Polymarket, using insider knowledge of the covert operation. According to the indictment, Van Dyke registered an account (0x31a5) on December 26 and made a series of bets predicting Maduro’s capture and U.S. military involvement in Venezuela. He withdrew most of his funds on the day of the operation and attempted to obscure his tracks by transferring assets through crypto and brokerage accounts. This case marks the first time the DOJ has prosecuted insider trading on Polymarket. PolyBeats had previously identified five suspicious accounts, including Van Dyke’s—the highest earner—in January. The other accounts, with profits ranging from $34,000 to $145,000, remain under unofficial scrutiny but have not been charged. Their lower profits, indirect access to information, and unclear legal boundaries may complicate prosecution. Polymarket has since strengthened its market integrity rules, explicitly prohibiting trading based on confidential or insider information. Van Dyke’s arrest, nearly four months after his trades, signals increased regulatory attention and the persistent traceability of blockchain-based transactions.

Bitcoin HODLing Intensifies: LTH Supply Jumps 303,000 BTC

Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs), defined as investors holding coins for over 155 days, have significantly increased their supply by 303,500 BTC over the past month, indicating a shift toward HODLing behavior. This contrasts with the net distribution observed in late 2025. Meanwhile, short-term holders and spot ETFs have seen reduced supply. However, the recent price rally to around $77,600 is primarily driven by futures market demand, not spot buying—a pattern to January's short-lived surge. Analysts warn of potential corrections if profit-taking occurs amid weak spot demand.

Bitwise: Bullish on Bitcoin's Performance in the Second Half of the Year, AI and Regulation Will Spark a New Altcoin Season

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and Research Lead Ryan Rasmussen express strong bullish sentiment on Bitcoin's long-term prospects, suggesting that its $1 million price target may be too conservative. They argue Bitcoin serves a dual role: as digital gold and a potential global settlement asset, especially amid declining trust in traditional monetary systems. Despite a weak Q1 2026 where nearly all crypto assets and prices saw double-digit declines, the analysts remain optimistic due to strong forward-looking catalysts, including institutional adoption via Bitcoin ETFs from major firms like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Geopolitical instability, such as Iran’s mention of using Bitcoin for international payments, increases the value of Bitcoin’s “out-of-the-money call option” as a non-political, global settlement currency. This enhances its appeal beyond a mere store of value. . Additionally, Hougan highlights that a clearer regulatory token framework under current SEC leadership, combined with AI efficiency gains and high-performance blockchains, could fuel a new “altseason” by late 2026. This may lead to a wave of legitimate, value-capturing token projects, unlike the earlier ICO boom. . Bitwise also announced an Avalanche ETF, citing its unique architecture and rapid growth in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which has surged 10x to nearly $30 billion in two years. The firm believes Layer 1 blockchains are still early in their growth cycle, with significant potential ahead.

Bitcoin Rally To Near $80K Fuels Sharp Sentiment Rebound Across Crypto Markets

Bitcoin's recent rally towards $80,000 has driven a significant rebound in crypto market sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index jumping 14 points to 46—its highest level since January. Analysts note that over 300,000 BTC have shifted from short-term to long-term holders in the past month, signaling stronger investor conviction. However, the rally appears largely driven by perpetual futures speculation rather than spot market demand, raising concerns about sustainability. Retail participation also remains subdued, limiting further sentiment gains. While entities like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) continue accumulating BTC, weak spot interest could lead to a price correction if profit-taking occurs.
