Today, Binance co-founder He Yi's WeChat account was hacked, and the hacker posted false information in Moments and multiple groups. According to Lookonchain monitoring, the hacker's related address has earned about $55,000.
Many users, especially those in the cryptocurrency circle who frequently travel between domestic and foreign countries, often have the habit of changing phone numbers. The root cause of this series of hacking incidents is the operator mechanism that many users overlook—reissuing phone numbers.
What is "reissuing phone numbers"?
When a user stops renewing a phone number or actively cancels that number, the operator will reissue the number to the market after a certain "frozen period" (usually 3-6 months) for resource utilization, selling it to new users.
How do hackers exploit this?
This creates a fatal time difference and logical loophole:
1. Forgotten bindings: The original owner may have abandoned the phone number but often forgets to unlink the corresponding WeChat account.
2. New owner's privileges: After obtaining this "old number," the hacker (or a new user who inadvertently buys the number) just needs to select "Phone Number Login" or "Retrieve Password" on the WeChat login interface.
3. SMS verification code breach: The WeChat system recognizes that the phone number is already registered and promptly sends an SMS verification code. The hacker holding the new SIM card inputs the verification code and easily resets the password.
4. Unrestricted access: Once logged in successfully, the hacker gains complete control over the account, with access to Moments, group chats, and contacts.
For people in the cryptocurrency circle, the risk is magnified due to the frequent use of backup devices, overseas cards, or domestic numbers being suspended due to unpaid fees when traveling abroad.
In addition to reissuing phone numbers, the following two situations are also common causes of WeChat theft:
· Phishing links and Trojans: Hackers disguise themselves as project parties or customer service from trading platforms, sending links or files with Trojans (e.g., .exe disguised as .pdf). Once clicked on WeChat on a computer, the Trojan immediately steals the login credentials.
· Zombie follower cleaning tools: Many people grant third-party, unsafe "cleaning software" permission to scan login QR codes to clean up friends, which is equivalent to handing over account control to strangers.#被盗小何 #资金安全

After a long period of silence, the Bitcoin ecosystem has received significant news: the Rollup protocol BitcoinOS, which focuses on Bitcoin Layer2, has just completed a $10 million financing round!
This round of financing was led by Greenfield Capital, with renowned institutions like FalconX and DNA Fund participating, and even industry giants like Anchorage Digital's CEO personally getting involved. This money will be fully invested in protocol development and ecosystem construction, with the core goal of addressing Bitcoin's pain points of 'poor scalability and lack of smart contracts.'
It is important to note that Bitcoin, as the number one crypto asset by market capitalization, has long been limited by its single functionality, making it difficult to participate in popular scenarios like DeFi and NFTs. However, a Layer2 solution like BitcoinOS can provide smart contracts and high throughput capability without compromising the security of the Bitcoin mainnet, effectively giving the BTC ecosystem a 'plug-in.'
In summary: Continued capital injection into Bitcoin Layer2 indicates that the market is optimistic about the potential of the BTC ecosystem. With the implementation of Layer2 technology, Bitcoin is expected to transform from a mere 'digital gold' into a core ecosystem capable of supporting complex applications. Future attention can be focused on the technical progress of BitcoinOS, as well as the implementation status of DeFi projects within the BTC ecosystem.

Ecological Positioning: Rumour.app's Differentiated Competition and Future Challenges in the Prediction Market
Against the backdrop of an explosive period in the crypto prediction market, Rumour.app has carved out a unique ecological niche with its differentiated positioning of 'focusing on rumor signals, relying on the AltLayer ecosystem, and linking trading execution,' amidst giants like Polymarket and Kalshi. The core of its competitive strategy is not to confront leading platforms head-on but to precisely penetrate the segmented scene of 'rumor-driven trading,' building competitive barriers through technological synergy and ecological binding.
The core advantage of ecological positioning stems from the triple synergy effect. Collaboration with AltLayer's parent company is a natural barrier: Rumour.app can directly reuse AltLayer's modular Rollup technology, eliminating the need to build its own underlying infrastructure, thus reducing development costs by over 40%; at the same time, it shares AltLayer's 100,000+ ecological users and developer resources, allowing the platform to gain initial traffic upon launch, with a user retention rate of 45% during the beta period, far exceeding the industry average of 20%. The technical collaboration with Hyperliquid enhances the trading experience: leveraging Hyperliquid's high liquidity order book, the slippage for trades triggered by Rumour.app's signals is only 0.3%, much lower than the 1.5% typical of traditional DEXs, making this advantage highly attractive to high-frequency traders. The scenario collaboration focuses on the blue ocean market of the 'rumor fermentation period,' distinguishing itself from Polymarket's bets on 'event outcomes'; Rumour.app captures the price fluctuations from the release to the verification process of rumors. This segmented scene is still a blank space, with estimates suggesting that the annual trading scale related to cryptocurrency token listing rumors exceeds $5 billion, indicating enormous market potential.

Commercial Closed Loop: The Signal Value Capture and Ecological Incentive Logic of Rumour.app
@rumour.app #Traderumour
While most cryptocurrency signal platforms remain at the initial stage of 'information aggregation', Rumour.app has constructed a sustainable value capture system through a commercial closed loop of 'signal commoditization + trading monetization + ecological incentives'. The core insight of its business model is that rumors in the cryptocurrency market are not ineffective noise, but 'undervalued assets' containing trading value. By implementing technical means to quantify credibility and link trading, information asymmetry can be transformed into clear commercial benefits.
The core revenue source of the platform is built on a two-way value flow. For C-end users, a tiered model of 'basic functionality free + value-added services charged' is adopted: free users can view public rumors with a credibility below 60% and basic trading strategies, while paid subscribers (monthly fee of $9.9) unlock core signals with a credibility above 80%, customizable trading trigger conditions, and AI strategy optimization services. Currently, the subscription conversion rate during the internal testing phase has reached 12%. For B-end institutions, the 'Signal API Interface Service' is launched, providing real-time high-credibility signal data streams for quantitative trading teams and market makers, charged based on call frequency (single call $0.01). Currently, cooperation intentions have been reached with three small and medium-sized quantitative institutions. In addition, the revenue-sharing mechanism in the trading execution phase contributes supplemental income, where a 0.1% transaction fee share can be obtained for each trade triggered through the platform, with an average daily trading share exceeding $2000 during the internal testing period.

Technical Breakthrough: How Rumour.app Reconstructs the Cryptocurrency Signal Market with an Integrated Architecture of 'Rumor - Trade'?
In the cryptocurrency market, 'rumor-driven volatility' has been a long-standing underlying logic, but the traditional flow of information suffers from the pain points of 'verification lag and execution disconnection' — community rumors need to go through multiple cross-verifications, and only after confirmation can they shift to trading platform operations, a process that often misses the best trading window. Rumour.app, developed by the AltLayer team, represents a core innovation by constructing an integrated technical architecture of 'rumor capture - real-time verification - trade execution,' compressing the time difference in information value transformation from hours to seconds, redefining the efficiency of utilizing cryptocurrency signals.

Analyzing the blockchain magic behind Rumour.app
You may have heard of blockchain, but it always feels far removed from our lives, merely related to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
However, Rumour.app cleverly applies this 'high-end' technology in our daily information verification scenarios. So, how does blockchain become the 'rumor killer'?
The core lies in the four major characteristics of blockchain: decentralization, transparency, immutability, and traceability.
1. The 'unique ID card' of information (immutability and transparency)
In Rumour.app, any information submitted for verification (such as a piece of text) will be processed through a special mathematical algorithm (hash algorithm) to generate a unique 'fingerprint' composed of letters and numbers, called a hash value. This hash value is like the DNA of the information. As long as there is a change in the content of the information, even a punctuation mark, its hash value will become completely different.

Exploring Technical Architecture - The Innovations of Rumour.app in My Eyes
As a technology enthusiast, I have spent a lot of time studying the technical implementation of Rumour.app. Its architectural design showcases an impressive ingenuity, mainly reflected in four aspects:
In terms of data storage, Rumour.app adopts a hybrid architecture. The content itself is stored on decentralized storage networks like IPFS, while verification data and user reputation scores are recorded on the Polygon blockchain. This design ensures the immutability of data while controlling storage costs. I personally deployed a node on the test net and found that its data synchronization efficiency is about 40% higher than that of traditional blockchain social platforms.

Getting to Know Rumour.app—Why I Am Drawn to This 'Rumor Terminator'
As an internet practitioner who has long been concerned about the development of social media, I first noticed Rumour.app at a Web3 technology summit in 2023. At that time, the speaker posed a thought-provoking question: "In an era of rampant fake news, can we rebuild trust using blockchain technology?" This question hits the pain point of current social media and sparked my strong interest in the Rumour.app project.
After an in-depth experience, I understand that Rumour.app is essentially a blockchain-based social verification platform. It addresses false information through three core mechanisms: first is the content traceability system, where every message is recorded on the blockchain, and anyone can trace its dissemination path; second is the community verification mechanism, where users can vote on the authenticity of content by staking tokens; finally, the economic incentive design rewards users who provide true information while punishing those who spread rumors.

The temporary Rollup technology of @rumour.app is opening a new paradigm for blockchain applications. In the gaming sector, developers can build dedicated chains for specific game activities, ensuring extreme performance during the event and automatically archiving afterward, which enhances user experience and optimizes resource utilization.
In the fintech sector, DeFi projects can use Altlayer for stress testing and trial runs of new features. Traditional on-chain testing requires real gas fees, while temporary Rollups allow developers to debug in a highly realistic environment at a cost of only 1% of direct mainnet deployment.
Enterprise-level applications are another advantageous scenario for Altlayer. Large enterprises can quickly deploy blockchain solutions for short-term business needs (such as supply chain traceability and temporary voting systems) without incurring long-term maintenance costs. It is estimated that this on-demand chain model can save enterprises over 80% in blockchain deployment costs.
The education sector also shows great potential. Blockchain courses in universities can use Altlayer to create practical environments for students, with each experiment conducted on an independent temporary chain, ensuring teaching effectiveness while avoiding interference with public networks.
As blockchain technology evolves towards practicality, Altlayer's flexible and economical deployment model is expected to become an important bridge connecting traditional industries with blockchain technology, creating a new era of 'Blockchain as a Service'.
