While upgrades have improved efficiency and lowered costs, the ecosystem faces deeper structural questions around fragmentation, security, and purpose, even as it continues prioritizing base-layer scaling.

Ethereum faces make-or-break moment in high-stakes balancing act as scaling, quantum and AI pressures mount

On-chain monitoring reveals a minting vulnerability in the Resolv protocol, allowing attackers to mint 80 million USR using only 200,000 USDC, leading to [...]
The article, "Another Stablecoin Decouples! USR Plunged to $0.30 as Resolv Protocol Suffered Minting Vulnerability Attack," was originally published on BlockTempo, the most influential ABMedia media.

Another stablecoin has decoupled from its peg! USR plummeted to $0.30 at one point after the Resolv protocol was attacked by a minting vulnerability.

This incident reveals a fundamental weakness of Delta's neutral stablecoin – the coupling point between the minting logic and off-chain signatures/oracles is the system's most vulnerable attack surface. Any capital efficiency design that "mints 1 unit of currency for 1 unit of currency" must be based on extremely rigorous contract security audits.
