Ethereum developers have activated the Merge on the Sepolia testnet. Approximately 50 Terra projects are migrating to the Polygon network. Ronin attacker in March gained access via a fake job advert.
Key Takeaways
- Ethereum (ETH) developers have activated the Merge on the Sepolia testnet. This exercise was essentially a dry run for activating the Merge on the main network, which is currently scheduled for later this year.
- Two months on from the Terra (LUNC) collapse, around 50 projects formerly on the network have begun to migrate to Polygon (MATIC).
- It has been revealed that the hack in which four out of nine Ronin validators were taken over by an attacker was conducted using a fake job advertisement. The attack on Axie Infinity’s sidechain resulted in US$540M in losses in March this year.
- Cronos (CRO) has completed 50.01 million transactions since its launch, an increase of +1.52% from last week.
