GateToken (GT) is the native asset and core value carrier of the Gate ecosystem. It not only supports the rights and interests system of the centralized exchange but also serves as the Gas payment token for GateChain. Acting as a strategic bridge connecting CeFi and DeFi, GT secures the network through a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and provides users with multiple utility credentials, including cross-chain resource scheduling, ecological governance voting, and priority participation in the Launchpad.

GT (GateToken) and BNB represent two core logics in the evolution of platform tokens: the former emphasizes "on-chain asset security and underlying infrastructure," while the latter is dedicated to "high-performance transactions and full-stack ecological expansion."

Cardano is a public blockchain network centered on smart contracts, utilizing a layered architecture and a Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism. It aims to provide a more secure and scalable underlying support for decentralized applications and financial infrastructure. Its consensus mechanism, Ouroboros, enhances network security and energy efficiency through mathematical modeling and formal verification design. ADA, Cardano's native token, serves as both the settlement currency for network transactions and a key tool for staking and governance. Through decentralized stake pools and incentive mechanisms, network participants collectively maintain system operations and security, enabling Cardano to operate continuously without centralized control.

The primary difference between Cardano and Ethereum lies in their ledger models and development philosophies. Cardano adopts the Extended UTXO (EUTXO) model derived from Bitcoin and emphasizes formal verification and academic rigor. Ethereum, by contrast, uses an account-based model and, as a pioneer of smart contracts, prioritizes rapid ecosystem iteration and broad compatibility.

Security researchers have identified that hackers are exploiting "search poisoning" to manipulate Bing AI search results, steering users toward downloading a fake OpenClaw application embedded with infostealer malware, leading to the theft of crypto assets and sensitive information. This article examines the attack methodology, technical specifics, and the broader implications for the industry.

A user on CoW Swap exchanged roughly $50.43 million in aEthUSDT for AAVE. Because slippage exceeded 99%, the user ended up with only about $36,000 in assets, sparking widespread market concern. This article examines Aave's collateral swap mechanism, transaction routing challenges, and associated DeFi risks.

Resolv's USR stablecoin experienced a significant security breach, allowing an attacker to mint 80 million uncollateralized tokens and liquidate roughly $25 million, which caused a substantial price depeg. This article offers an in-depth examination of the incident, the attack method, and the inherent risks of DeFi stablecoins.

This year's memecoin frenzy has been a major focus in the crypto market and across various blockchain ecosystems. Since the beginning of the year, the Solana ecosystem has seen the rise of many high-performing memecoins and memecoin launch platforms like Pump.Fun, attracting a large number of users to issue and trade various meme tokens. Memecoin trading has also been booming in other ecosystems, such as SunPump in the TRON ecosystem, which earned a net profit of over one million dollars within two weeks, and the BNB Chain's launch of the "Meme Innovation Battle." However, with the memecoin boom comes a wave of potential security risks that users need to be wary of. Previously, Beosin conducted a detailed security analysis of memecoin launch platforms, warning users in advance about centralization risks in platforms like Dexx, and auditing several platforms including Tokr.fun, Pumpup, and Pump404. Today, from a security perspective, we will analyze the common risks and malicious tactics found in memecoins, he

Orochi Network is a protocol that uses zero-knowledge proof and cryptographic technologies to create solutions that facilitate a verifiable data infrastructure, ensuring data integrity through privacy and confidentiality.

Clipboard security is a highly overlooked but risky issue in the Web3 and cryptocurrency space. This article explores how clipboards work, the potential risks involved, and how simple actions, such as clearing clipboard content, can help reduce these risks.

The price of the ZKsync token, ZK, plummeted due to a security incident. Attackers used an airdrop distribution contract's admin account to mint a large number of unclaimed airdrop tokens and sell them on-chain. This incident not only exposed vulnerabilities in ZKsync’s contract management but also sparked widespread discussion about the security and reliability of Layer 2 technologies.

ZKsync's $5 million token theft triggered a price crash and reignited concerns about Layer 2 security. This article unpacks the incident, community reactions, and the broader ecosystem crisis—revealing how this once-celebrated project fell into a crisis of trust, as Layer 2 faces a bubble of hype and existential anxiety over real value.
