1⃣ @Sagaxyz__ explains that the SagaEVM incident on January 21, 2026 was caused by a vulnerability in the Ethermint code inherited from the Cosmos EVM, which was used to steal approximately $7 million in USDC and other assets.
SagaEVM is an Ethereum-compatible chain in the Saga L1 ecosystem that allows the launch of its own L1 chains; the vulnerability affects other Cosmos EVM projects, with Cosmos Labs providing temporary security measures.
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.

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.
This payout, at a ratio of ~0.0005074 USDC per $MILK, fulfills the Cosmos-based liquid staking protocol's wind-down commitments with full snapshot data available on GitHub for verification.
