April 18: BNB Chain's $100 Million Plan. After conducting a 3-week trial of the "Listing-to-Boost Liquidity" program, it has now introduced the "Token Direct Purchase" mechanism based on community feedback in order to more comprehensively and directly support the development of ecosystem projects. This plan focuses on BNB Chain's native assets or cross-chain assets. Projects in various tracks that meet the following on-chain data and security requirements have the opportunity to receive a minimum one-time purchase of $100,000: For transaction-driven assets: Market Cap ≥ $1 million; Daily Unique Traders ≥ 300; Daily Trading Volume ≥ $200,000. For TVL-driven assets: Total Value Locked (TVL) ≥ $20 million; Protocol TVL growth serves as the core evaluation criterion. Security requirements: The top 10 External Owned Accounts (EOA) holdings do not exceed 10% of the total supply (excluding CEX and CZ-related wallets); Projects must complete contract verification on BscScan or pass a security audit and undergo multi-risk assessment. The BNB Chain Foundation will select targets from the eligible project pool and make purchases from the foundation's wallet address, with the purchase time being random. Once the transaction is completed, it will be announced through the official account. BNB Chain Foundation Purchase Address: 0x511DfE9E248c887E32ca8bF9d1cb76f101965060 The upgraded $100 million incentive plan reflects BNB Chain's continuous commitment to supporting builders and creating long-term value for the ecosystem during market fluctuations.

After being linked to the AI cyberattack targeting South Korean banks, the author of ARTEX has announced the project will be closed-source, and its GitHub repository has been taken down.

Beating AI Insight News Brief: Open-source AI penetration testing tool ARTEX was discovered to have been used in attacks on multiple South Korean financial institutions. In response, developer Autumn-27 announced on October 8 that the project would be closed-sourced, with updates halted, no new versions released, and maintenance support discontinued. ARTEX’s original GitHub repository was subsequently taken down. ARTEX is a multi-agent system that integrates various large models, automatically identifies vulnerabilities, and conducts penetration testing. Earlier, cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike detected that attackers linked to the South Korean bank attacks utilized ARTEX, leaving tool configurations and Claude Code chat records on their servers. Autumn-27 stated in a release that ARTEX was originally developed for learning, research, and enterprise-authorized security testing. The tool’s misuse for illegal attacks completely violates its intended purpose. The author condemned unauthorized use and disclaimed liability for related incidents. However, ARTEX’s source code has been backed up by other developers. Even after the author removed the original repository and ceased maintenance, previously public versions remain accessible for use and modification by others.
