🚀 Project 0 Resumes Operations After Drift Protocol Hack
#Project0 #DeFi #DriftProtocol #CryptoHack #LendingProtocol #USDC #SOL #USDT #BTC #ETH #WIF #BONK #GovernanceTokens #CryptoNews #Blockchain #Deleveraging #CreditPool
Decentralized lending protocol Project 0 has announced the resumption of its operations. According to Foresight News, the platform had previously halted activities and initiated a deleveraging process following a hack on the Drift protocol. Project 0 reported that the remaining socialized loss amounts to approximately $1.9147 million, which will be distributed across the credit pool, resulting in an average asset write-down of 2.61% for lenders.
The write-down percentages vary by asset risk level, with USDC, SOL, and USDT experiencing a 1% reduction, mainstream assets like BTC and ETH seeing a 2.61% decrease, and WIF, BONK, and governance tokens facing a 6.62% reduction. Project 0 noted that as Drift assets are gradually unlocked and returned to affected users, the actual loss will be less than the stated baseline figures.
Previously, Project 0 co-founder MacBrennan explained that the protocol employs a unified credit pool to enable cross-protocol margin functionality, which is a core mechanism of P0. However, some community members expressed dissatisfaction, stating that they were impacted despite not directly participating in Drift lending.#Project0 #DeFi #DriftProtocol #CryptoHack #LendingProtocol #USDC #SOL #USDT #BTC #ETH #WIF #BONK #GovernanceTokens #CryptoNews #Blockchain #Deleveraging #CreditPool

#Polymarket #Apology #PredictionMarket #FighterJet #USMilitary #Iran #RescueOperation #Controversy #Ethics #SocialMediaCriticism
Polymarket has issued an apology for allowing users to speculate on the fate of a U.S. fighter jet pilot after the aircraft was shot down over Iran. According to Foresight News, NBC reported that a U.S. official confirmed a two-seater F-15E Strike Eagle was downed on Friday, with one crew member rescued and the other still missing.
The now-deleted market allowed users to predict when the pilot would be rescued, with most speculating a Saturday rescue. The market was titled, "U.S. Confirms Pilot Will Be Rescued By...?" U.S. Representative Seth Moulton, a former Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq, criticized the market on social media platform X, highlighting the inappropriateness of such speculation during a dangerous search and rescue operation in Iran.
In response to Moulton's post on X, Polymarket apologized and stated that the market had been removed. The company explained, "We have immediately taken down the market as it does not meet our integrity standards. This content should not have been published, and we are investigating how it bypassed our internal review mechanisms."#Polymarket #Apology #PredictionMarket #FighterJet #USMilitary #Iran #RescueOperation #Controversy #Ethics #SocialMediaCriticism

In recent developments, the United States and Iran have been involved in indirect negotiations through Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey over the past ten days, aiming to reach a ceasefire agreement contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. According to BlockBeats, these discussions have yet to yield any substantial progress.
The indirect talks are led by U.S. Vice President Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, with Pakistan's military chief, Marshal Asim Munir, mediating. White House envoy Whitkov, along with foreign ministers from Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt, are also participating in the negotiations. Two sources involved in the talks have disclosed that mediators are still striving to facilitate a direct meeting between the U.S. and Iran, but efforts have been largely unproductive so far.
One source indicated that Iran has rejected any proposals for a temporary ceasefire, demanding a permanent end to hostilities and clear assurances from the U.S. that it will not launch further attacks. Mediators are currently exploring potential trust-building measures as a pathway to direct U.S.-Iran negotiations, though it remains uncertain whether any progress will be made before the Monday deadline.#US #Iran #IndirectTalks #Ceasefire #StraitOfHormuz #Pakistan #Egypt #Turkey #Diplomacy #Tensions #Mediators #Vance #Ghalibaf #Munir #Whitkov #InternationalRelations #PeaceTalks
🚀 IEA Chief Warns of Oil Supply Risks Amid Hormuz Strait Closure
#IEA #FatihBirol #OilSupply #HormuzStrait #EnergyCrisis #SaudiArabia #GlobalEconomy #OilExports #PipelineSecurity #EnergyAssets
The International Energy Agency (IEA) Chief, Fatih Birol, has issued a warning regarding the potential doubling of oil and refined product losses in April if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping. According to Odaily, Birol emphasized that even if the conflict ends, it will take a significant amount of time to return to normalcy.
Birol stated that the IEA is closely monitoring all critical energy assets in the region, including oil and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, and liquefied natural gas terminals. He noted that 72 energy assets have been damaged, with one-third suffering severe or very severe damage.
He commended Saudi Arabia for its swift response to the crisis, highlighting the country's rerouting of over two-thirds of its oil exports through a pipeline to the Red Sea. Birol mentioned that Saudi authorities assured him of the pipeline's robust protection. However, he cautioned that any attack on this route could have extremely serious consequences for the global economy.#IEA #FatihBirol #OilSupply #HormuzStrait #EnergyCrisis #SaudiArabia #GlobalEconomy #OilExports #PipelineSecurity #EnergyAssets

Polymarket's rules state that the market will be deemed "yes" if active U.S. military personnel enter Iranian land territory by the specified date (Eastern Time). Special operations forces are included, but intelligence personnel are not.

🚀 AI TRENDS | UK Seeks Anthropic Expansion Amid U.S. Blacklist Concerns
#UK #Anthropic #AI #expansion #blacklist #US #KeirStarmer #Claude #surveillance #autonomousweapons #DarioAmodei #AItrends #technology
The UK is reportedly attempting to persuade AI company Anthropic to expand its operations within the country, according to the Financial Times. The British government has proposed options ranging from expanding Anthropic's office in London to pursuing a dual listing. According to Jin10, neither Anthropic nor the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology have responded to Reuters' requests for comment. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office is supporting the department's efforts, with plans to present the proposal to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei during his visit to the UK at the end of May.
Anthropic has been blacklisted by the U.S. government, which cited national security supply chain risks due to the company's refusal to allow its AI chatbot, Claude, to be used for U.S. surveillance or autonomous weapon systems. A U.S. judge has temporarily halted the implementation of this blacklist, and Anthropic has filed a second lawsuit challenging the supply chain risk designation, which is currently under review.#UK #Anthropic #AI #expansion #blacklist #US #KeirStarmer #Claude #surveillance #autonomousweapons #DarioAmodei #AItrends #technology

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has reportedly threatened to disrupt commercial shipping traffic through the Mandeb Strait, a crucial Red Sea passage. According to BlockBeats, this statement was made following a report by NBC News on April 3.
Ghalibaf questioned on social media platform X about the global share of oil, liquefied natural gas, wheat, rice, and fertilizer transported through the Mandeb Strait. He further inquired about which countries and companies have the highest shipping volumes through this route.
In recent years, vessels passing through this area have repeatedly faced attacks from the Houthi armed group in Yemen, which is allied with the Iranian regime. The threat to the Mandeb Strait comes as Iran has already significantly disrupted shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, causing turmoil in the global economy.#Iran #RedSea #Shipping #MandebStrait #BabElMandeb #MaritimeSecurity #Houthis #YemenConflict #StraitOfHormuz #GlobalEconomy #OilTransit #LNG #Geopolitics #TradeRoutes #MiddleEastTensions
