@Manta (MANTA) is dedicated to providing modular blockchain support for zero-knowledge proof (ZK) applications. Its CeDeFi ecosystem demonstrates exceptional innovation in this field. Manta Pacific is a modular Layer2 solution specifically designed for the EVM ecosystem. It achieves ZK-as-a-Service through Manta's universal ZK circuits and utilizes the Celestia data availability layer to provide modular support, ensuring users the lowest gas costs and the best user experience.

As the first Layer2 to offer native Real-World Asset (RWA) yields, Manta Network recently launched its CeDeFi product. Users can deposit assets such as wBTC/BTCB, wETH/STONE, USDT/USDC/wUSDM through Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Manta Pacific into the CeDeFi platform. The CeDeFi platform not only marks the beginning of Manta's RWA product but will also become the issuance platform and interface for more RWA assets in the future, providing users with real returns.

The CeDeFi platform maps assets to exchanges through the custodian service provider Ceffu. Asset management institutions then execute rate arbitrage and other strategies to generate token-denominated returns. These strategies were previously available only to VIP clients of exchanges, but Manta Network has collaborated with these institutions to bring these advanced strategies on-chain. Through the CeDeFi ecosystem, users can increase their token holdings and enjoy multiplied USD-denominated returns as token prices rise in a bull market. Therefore, Manta's CeDeFi product is one of the few products on the market that offers real token-denominated returns, providing users with a unique investment opportunity.

The engineering organization behind Cardano submitted nine proposals totaling $46.8 million for the 2026 voting cycle, down from $97.5 million last year.
Cardano, like most major blockchains, maintains a shared pool of money funded by network fees, which community representatives vote to allocate toward development work. Input Output historically has been the largest recipient because it employs most of the engineers building the underlying software.
The reduced ask is the first concrete step in a plan to phase out that dependency. Input Output said it now aims to shrink its annual request each year until the company can sustain itself on its own revenue, with community funds going instead to a broader set of smaller engineering groups.
By the end of 2026, Input Output expects smaller, more specialized teams to take on most of the work it currently does in-house, including firms such as VacuumLabs and Midgard Labs that focus on specific layers of the Cardano software.
The nine proposals group into two themes. The larger funds a consensus upgrade called Leios, which Input Output claims will increase Cardano's transaction processing capacity by 10 to 65 times, targeting more than 1,000 transactions per second.
For context, that would move Cardano from a relatively slower chain to one competitive with Solana and the fastest Ethereum layer-2 networks on throughput alone. Leios is scheduled for a test release in June and full deployment by year-end.
The second flagship proposal funds a system called Pogun, which aims to bring Bitcoin-based decentralized finance to Cardano. In practice, it would let bitcoin holders borrow and earn yield on their holdings through Cardano without giving custody to a centralized intermediary. Pogun's lending component is targeted for public release in the second quarter.
Smaller proposals cover performance improvements to Cardano's smart contract engine, security testing infrastructure, developer tools, and expanded API services.
Each proposal names specific delivery leads and ties funding to delivery milestones rather than releasing money upfront. Imagine paying a contractor in stages as different parts of a house are completed, instead of handing over the full budget at the start of construction.
Voting opens Tuesday and runs through May 24. The decisions are made by roughly 1,000 elected delegates known as DReps, who represent ADA holders much as proxy representatives do in a publicly traded company. Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Input Output, is scheduled to release a video this week making the case directly to those delegates.
The vote will test whether Cardano's governance, which has expanded significantly over the past two years, treats Input Output like any other grant applicant or continues to approve its requests largely on a basis of deference.
Last year’s $97.5 million proposal passed, but in the interim the Cardano Foundation has taken over the project’s grant-funding arm, and Intersect, the governance organization running this vote, has assumed stewardship of core Cardano software. Both shifts mean alternatives to Input Output now exist in a way they did not when previous votes went through.
Meanwhile, Input Output also cited progress in the ecosystem in its release. A new Cardano stablecoin, USDCx, reached 14.6 million tokens in circulation within weeks of its launch. Total assets deposited on Cardano, a common measure of a network's usage, rose from $137.5 million to $142.7 million over the same period.
Whether the full slate passes, gets partially funded, or is reshaped entirely by DReps will signal how much the Cardano community's thinking has shifted now that the tools to fund development without Input Output exist.

Peru’s presidential election result will not be finalised until mid-May, with challenged ballots from last Sunday’s vote still being reviewed, says the electoral authority.
With 93 percent of ballots counted, right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori leads with 17 percent, according to officials.
Under Peru’s electoral system, the top two candidates advance to a second-round runoff. A close contest has emerged for second spot between left-wing candidate, Roberto Sanchez on 12 percent, and ultra-conservative Rafael Lopez Aliaga close behind on 11.9 percent.

As North Korea's infiltration tactics grow more sophisticated, security experts say the crypto industry needs to understand what sets the regime apart from every other state-backed hacker — and why that difference makes it a dangerous threat to the ecosystem.
The short answer, according to security experts, is that crypto helps give the regime a revenue stream and keep them afloat.
North Korea doesn't have the luxury of patience," said Dave Schwed, chief operating officer at SVRN and the founder of the cybersecurity masters program at Yeshiva University. "They're under comprehensive international sanctions and they need hard currency to fund weapons programs. The UN and multiple intelligence agencies have confirmed that crypto theft is a primary funding mechanism for their nuclear and ballistic missile development."
That urgency explains a dynamic that has long puzzled investigators: why North Korean hackers carry out large-scale, traceable heists on public blockchains instead of quietly using crypto to evade sanctions the way other state actors do.
The answer, Schwed argues, is structural. Russia still has an economy: oil, gas, commodity exports, and trading partners willing to use workarounds. It needs crypto as a payment rail, but not for much else. Iran, too, has goods to move — sanctioned oil, proxy financing networks, willing intermediaries across the Middle East. North Korea has almost nothing left to sell.
Their exports are almost entirely sanctioned. They don't have a functioning economy that needs a payment rail. They need direct revenue," Schwed said. "Crypto theft gives them immediate access to liquid value, globally, without needing a counterparty willing to do business with them."
That distinction — crypto as infrastructure versus crypto as a target — is what separates North Korea not just from Russia, but from Iran as well. While Russia routes money through crypto to work around sanctions, and Iran uses it to fund proxy networks across the Middle East, North Korea is running something closer to a state-sponsored heist operation.
Their targets are exchanges, wallet providers, DeFi protocols and the individual engineers and founders who have signing authority or infrastructure access," said Alexander Urbelis, chief information security officer at ENS Labs and a professor of cybersecurity at King’s College London. "The victim is whoever holds the keys or access to the infrastructure that holds the keys."
Russia and Iran, by comparison, treat crypto as incidental, a means to broader geopolitical ends.
Russia targets elections, energy infrastructure and government systems. Iran goes after dissidents and regional adversaries," Urbelis said. "When either of them touches crypto, it's to move money, not to steal it from the ecosystem."
That singular focus has pushed North Korean operatives to adopt tactics more commonly associated with intelligence agencies than criminal hackers: months-long relationship building, fabricated identities and supply chain infiltration.
You're not defending against a phishing email from a random scammer," Urbelis said. "You're defending against someone who spent six months building a relationship specifically to compromise one person who has the access you need to protect."
The Drift campaign is only the most recent example.
"Once a transaction is signed and confirmed, it's final," Urbelis said. The Bybit exploit earlier last year moved $1.5 billion in roughly 30 minutes, a pace and scale that would be nearly impossible in the traditional banking system.
Crypto's own architecture makes it a uniquely attractive hunting ground. In traditional finance, even successful hacks run into friction in the form of compliance checks, correspondent bank checks, settlement delays and the possibility of reversing fraudulent transfers. When North Korea's hackers pulled off the Bangladesh Bank robbery in 2016, the heist took days to process and most of the funds were eventually recovered or blocked. In crypto, none of those safeguards exist at the protocol level
And while banks operate under decades of regulatory guidance and audit requirements, many crypto projects are still improvising — often prioritizing speed and innovation over governance and controls
That finality fundamentally changes the security calculus. In banking, a reasonable defense can be built across prevention, detection and response, because there's always a window to freeze funds or reverse a wire. In crypto, that window barely exists, which means stopping an attack before it happens isn't just preferable — it's essentially the only option
That gap creates an environment where even sophisticated teams can be vulnerable, particularly to the kind of long-term infiltration tactics North Korea has been refining
This is the hardest operational security problem in crypto right now," Urbelis said of the challenge of vetting against sophisticated fake identities and third-party intermediaries. "I don't think the industry has solved it

Japan has pledged to provide $10bn (£7.4bn) to help its Asian neighbours, especially those in South East Asia, secure energy including crude oil as the region reels from disruptions caused by the Iran war.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced the new cooperation framework on Wednesday after an online meeting with other Asian leaders.
Japan relies on South East Asia for petroleum-derived products, most notably medical equipment - something that Takaichi stressed at a press briefing on Wednesday.
Japan is closely interconnected with each Asian country through supply chains and mutually dependent with them," she said.
Japan's cooperation framework aims to help Asian countries procure crude oil and petroleum products, as well as maintain supply chains and expand stockpiles.
Asia is especially vulnerable to energy supply disruptions stemming from blockades of the Strait of Hormuz, as nearly 90% of the oil and gas passing through the key waterway is bound for the region
Japan's foreign ministry said the $10bn in financial aid was roughly equivalent to a year's worth of crude oil imports by countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean)
It added that the initiative was welcomed by leaders at the meeting - including those from the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Bangladesh and South Korea - and that funding for the project would come from a range of sources
These include state-backed institutions like Japan Bank for International ​Cooperation and Nippon Export and Investment Insurance, as well as the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the Asian Development Bank
Takaichi said the initiative would not negatively impact Japan's domestic oil supplies
At the end of 2025, Japan's reserves held enough oil for 254 days of domestic consumption - but the global energy crisis has prompted authorities to tap into these reserves
Last month, Japan released a record 50 days' worth of oil from its reserves. Authorities have said they would release another 20 days' worth in early May.
Fears about a shortage of naphtha - a petrochemical produced from crude oil and a key raw ingredient in plastics - are also simmering in Japan. These worries are especially pronounced in hospitals, where critical medical supplies like syringes, gloves and dialysis equipment are made with the substance.
While Takaichi has urged calm and said there would be no immediate disruptions, fears remain that naphtha shortages could further stress the country's healthcare system, already straining under an ageing population.
There are also anxieties across South East Asia, which has been hit hard by soaring oil prices. Governments have urged people to carpool and curb the use of air-conditioning in a bid to conserve energy. The Philippines, meanwhile, has declared a national energy emergency.
On Wednesday, at the same summit hosted by Japan, Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos Jr called on Asean to activate its fuel-sharing pact
No single country in Asia can insulate itself from supply chain shocks of this scale by acting alone," he said

SEC Crypto Mom Issues Strong Warning Late at Night! Tokenized securities face a deadly blow, is the billion-dollar RWA sector hanging by a thread? Retail investors urgently reallocating to MEME coins!

Core of the Event: Regulators 'draw red lines', tokenized securities have nowhere to escape.
The statement from Hester Peirce, SEC commissioner and 'crypto mom', appears mild but hides deadly implications:
Qualitative Iron Law: Tokenized securities, whether operated directly by the issuer or third-party custodians, fall under the category of securities, and must comply with mandatory disclosure, registration, and other federal regulations.
Classification Trap: Tokenized structures may be defined as security receipts or security-like swaps, the latter directly shutting down the circulation possibilities of DeFi platforms.
