Özet

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.

A Precedent for the Prediction Markets: CFTC Aims to Prove Authority Over Polymarket via Criminal Case

A U.S. Army soldier, Gannon Ken Van Dyke, who earned $400,000 using non-public information on the crypto event-prediction platform Polymarket, is contesting the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) attempt to intervene in his criminal case. The CFTC, which initiated a separate civil suit against Van Dyke but has not pursued it to trial, seeks to submit arguments in the ongoing criminal proceeding. Van Dyke's lawyers filed a motion opposing this, arguing the CFTC is improperly trying to influence the criminal case as an outside expert rather than through its own lawsuit. They contend that event contracts traded on platforms like Polymarket are not swaps and thus fall outside the CFTC's jurisdiction, calling the regulator's tactics a procedural maneuver. Van Dyke faces criminal fraud charges for allegedly trading based on confidential information about potential regime change in Venezuela. His civil case with the CFTC is stayed pending the criminal trial, expected in late 2026 or early 2027. The court's decision on whether to allow the CFTC's intervention could set a precedent for how such event contracts are regulated. An AI analysis notes inconsistency in the CFTC's approach compared to a similar case involving a Google employee, raising questions about the legal strategy for the prediction market industry, which includes platforms like Kalshi. The outcome may define future regulatory standards for the entire market.

Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Fei-Fei Li, and Bin Lin All Invest in the Same Robotics Company

Generalist, a San Francisco-based AI startup focused on developing a "universal brain" for robots, has rapidly raised significant funding, attracting high-profile investors including Nvidia, Jeff Bezos' Bezos Expeditions, AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li, and Xiaomi co-founder Bin Lin. Founded in 2024 by former Google DeepMind researchers Pete Florence, Andy Zeng, and former Boston Dynamics engineer Andrew Barry, the company has secured approximately $750 million across four rounds, reaching a valuation surpassing $2 billion. The company's core innovation is its GEN-1.5 model, which aims to give robots powerful generalization capabilities. Unlike traditional systems requiring extensive reprogramming for each new task, GEN-1.5 can learn from a single, brief human demonstration (3-12 seconds) without needing retraining or fine-tuning. This "physical prompting" allows a robot to perform tasks like opening jars or using new tools after seeing them done once. While current single-demo success rates average 59% on simple tasks (improving to 83% with minor fine-tuning), the technology promises to drastically reduce robot deployment time from months to seconds. Generalist's strategy is to provide the AI intelligence layer that can run on various robotic hardware, rather than building robots themselves. The founding team combines DeepMind's expertise in AI model generalization with Boston Dynamics' practical robotics experience, targeting the industry bottleneck where robot "brains" lag behind advanced "bodies." Capital sees potential in this approach for creating a versatile, low-margin-cost robotic base applicable across factories, warehouses, and labs. However, GEN-1.5 remains a work in progress. Its capabilities are currently demonstrated on short, simple tasks, and significant challenges remain for reliable, long-term operation in complex, unpredictable real-world environments. Commercial viability also depends on hardware costs, maintenance, and system integration. Nevertheless, Generalist represents a shift toward "generalist" robots that can quickly adapt to new tasks, potentially redefining the robotics landscape and posing future questions about the role of human labor.
