On-chain detective ZachXBT has questioned why the address linked to user @7zarc (labeled as Zachary Arcelona in on-chain flow charts) received 4,870 ETH (worth approximately $15 million) from funds tied to the $70 million Raidparty scam, before transferring the assets to multiple centralized exchange (CEX) deposit addresses. ZachXBT noted that the account went inactive in 2022 and only resurfaced in September 2026. TRM’s on-chain flow data shows the funds were split from the RaidParty Treasury to multiple related parties before flowing into multiple CEXs. No public response has been issued by @7zarc as of press time. Raidparty was an Ethereum project during the 2021-2022 blockchain gaming boom, after which its treasury was siphoned and the team disbanded.

Beating AI Express News: Anthropic has recently disclosed that Claude now leads 26% of its AI R&D work, up from less than 1% in February. Over 90% of R&D tasks are now completed at least partially with Claude’s collaboration. The definition of "leading" here is clear: humans only need to specify the final problem to solve, and Claude can handle most of the process independently, with humans only reviewing the final outcome. No category of R&D work can currently be fully delegated to Claude. This figure marks progress beyond Anthropic’s prior disclosure that "Claude writes 80% of production code"—code is just one component of R&D, while this latest statistic covers the entire R&D workflow, including model training, experiments, evaluation, and infrastructure. On Anthropic’s most frequently used internal platform, roughly 30,000 agents are simultaneously engaged in research and engineering work at any given time.

According to monitoring by Defimon Alerts, Nimiq’s swap contract on Polygon was hacked for approximately $50,400 on September 16. The incident stemmed from the contract serving as both OpenGSN’s paymaster and forwarder, with its execute() method failing to verify user signatures. Attackers set up their own relays, forged open() requests from liquidity wallets, exploited pre-image hash locks to open HTLCs and immediately redeemed funds, then transferred the targeted wallet’s USDC, USDT0, and USDC.e tokens. Nimiq had previously suspended Gas Abstraction stablecoin transactions and was investigating related issues.
