Project Team Hires 4 Developers Online, Actually the Same North Korean Hacker

On March 27, the Blast ecosystem project Munchables was hacked for $62.5 million. According to on-chain detective ZachXBT's investigation, it was because one of their developers was a North Korean hacker, and the four different developers hired by the Munchables team were all connected to the attacker, likely being the same person. They recommended each other for the job and regularly transferred payments to the same two deposit addresses on trading platforms, with the "four" wallets showing mutual transfer behavior.

Based on annual earnings, the North Korean hacker should have earned more than many listed companies.

A Certain Well-Known L Surname Cross-Chain Project Asks "Witches" to Surrender, a Historical First

On May 4, a certain well-known cross-chain project with the surname L announced that users identified as witches could surrender by providing their witch addresses to receive 15% of their originally allocated amount. If they did not surrender and were discovered later, all allocations would be canceled.

That’s not all; the project team stated that whistleblowers must provide at least 20 addresses clearly involved in witch operations, and rewards would be prioritized for the first user to submit successfully. Subsequently, the reporting mechanism was further updated to introduce a margin system.

This is truly something we’ve never seen before.

Lighting Himself Up for Everyone's Entertainment

A developer from Pump.Fun, in an effort to boost the meme's market cap, immersed himself in isopropyl alcohol and live-streamed himself shooting fireworks at himself, attempting to create hype for his meme coin. The token price skyrocketed by 2000% within hours, reaching a market cap of $2 million. However, due to a lack of necessary fire safety measures, he was instantly engulfed in flames, suffering third-degree burns and hospitalization, making it impossible for him to sell the tokens. After recovery, he found he could not use his hands normally, and even facial recognition on his phone could not recognize him. Later, this developer exited the project, and the final outcome was that he did not sell the tokens in time.
