The team is working with Sherlock to fix the problem , the chain has been suspended, and a full postmortem will be published soon. 2⃣ @MANTRA_Chain announces fixed milestones for the $MANTRA upgrade, with a key milestone on March 2, 2026, when $OM will be swapped for $MANTRA and a 1:4 coin split will be implemented. The upgrade from v6 to v7 is automatic for $OM holders on MANTRA Chain, with no action required, but requires token migration from EVM networks before January 15, 2026. 3⃣ @astroport_fi notifies users who have earned Droplets on Astroport of their right to claim a share of 42,000 ATOM distributed by @dropdotmoney through the Droplets Program, with the portal opening today. 4⃣ @cryptodungeonma announces updated "Dungeon Paper" – a key document for the Dungeon Games ecosystem, shared on their Discord. 5⃣ Mudit Gupta, CTO at Polygon Labs, benchmarks Polygon RPC providers, praising dRPC, QuickNode, and @lavanetxyz for comprehensive endpoint support including debug/trace. 6⃣ @SigeaOfficial announces partnership with DeFi protocol Astrovault to integrate a sustainable payments system into the decentralized data storage application, focusing on long-term stability. 7⃣ @milky_way_zone details the final revenue distribution of 92,708 USDC, converted from fees in $TIA, $INIT, and $BABY, to eligible $MILK holders, stakers, and liquidity providers based on a January snapshot: ✔️On-chain recipients receive funds directly in their wallets with no action needed ✔️ centralized exchange users (e.g., Bybit, KuCoin) await internal distributions from partners; allocations below 1 USDC were skipped to reduce fees.
