文章摘要

The platform paused withdrawals and fired 100 employees last June citing issues with service partners.

South Korean authorities have arrested three executives at yield platform Haru Invest for allegedly stealing 1.1 trillion won ($828 million) worth of crypto from around 16,000 customers, Yonhap News reported on Tuesday.

The company’s CEO is reportedly among the three arrested by the Joint Investigation Team of Virtual Asset Crimes of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office.

Haru Invest, which once promised double-digit yields for crypto deposits on the platform, has been in troubled waters for some time. It paused withdrawals and deposits in June last year, citing issues with service partners, and fired around 100 employees shortly afterward. Yonhap reports the platform is suspected of running a scam known as a “rug pull,” where founders of crypto projects disappear with customers’ funds.

The prosecutors have accused the Haru executives of misappropriating customer funds between March 2020 and June 2023 while advertising they were using “risk-free, diversified investment techniques.”

以太坊下一站 Glamsterdam:你必须知道的核心升级点

以太坊计划于2026年下半年进行的Glamsterdam升级,并非一次简单的吞吐量提升,而是对出块、验证和资源定价机制的重构,为未来更高Gas上限、更大数据容量及并行执行奠定基础。 此次升级的核心内容包括:**协议内提议者-构建者分离(ePBS,EIP-7732)**,将区块提议与交易构建的职责在协议层面分离,延长执行负载的传播验证窗口,提升网络处理更大负载的安全性,并减少对外部中继的依赖。**区块级访问列表(BAL,EIP-7928)**,为每个区块记录其执行过程中访问的账户和存储位置,为客户端实现并行处理、验证和状态计算创造条件。**状态创建成本重定价(EIP-8037)**,提高创建新状态(如账户、合约)的Gas成本,以抑制以太坊状态数据库的过快膨胀,在扩容执行能力的同时控制节点的长期存储负担。 此外,升级清单还包括调整各类资源Gas定价、增强EVM功能等多方面改进。一批EIP仍在考虑纳入,其中涉及改善质押者退出流动性的提案(如EIP-8061、EIP-8080)值得关注。 与此同时,以太坊基金会协议团队发生人事变动,官方表示正转向一个由多个组织共同协作的联盟模式来推进以太坊发展。Glamsterdam标志着以太坊在追求更高性能的道路上,对底层协议工程与生态系统治理结构的一次重要调整。
