Dec. 30 — Unleash Protocol, an IPFi platform built on the Story ecosystem, announced a security incident involving its smart contracts: unauthorized activity led to the draining and transfer of user funds. Initial probes show an external address exploited Unleash’s multisig governance mechanism to gain administrative access, then executed an unauthorized contract upgrade that enabled unauthorized asset withdrawals. Affected assets currently identified include WIP, USDC, WETH, stIP and vIP. The assets were later transferred to an external address via third-party cross-chain infrastructure. Unleash noted the incident originated from its own governance and permission framework, with no evidence to date of impact on Story Protocol’s contracts, validators or underlying infrastructure. The impact appears contained to Unleash’s relevant contracts and administrative permissions. All protocol operations are currently paused.

As of December 30th, per monitoring from GMGN (https://t.me/gmgnaibot?start=i_m4TE56o8), HNUT—the third-largest meme coin on Solana by on-chain trading volume—has reportedly suffered a rug pull. Over the past two hours, it has plummeted from a high of $0.07 (a short-term price drop of more than 99%) and is now trading at less than $0.0003. Earlier today, HNUT, a Solana-based meme coin, saw a sharp price swing: it surged over 700% in 24 hours, pushing its market capitalization to a peak of $70.94 million and briefly landing third on the 24-hour trading volume leaderboard. However, multiple on-chain monitoring platforms—including Crypto Scope—issued alerts flagging abnormal liquidity activity and on-chain data patterns, indicating a potential rug pull risk and urging investors to exercise caution. BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is extremely volatile, often fueled by market sentiment and speculative hype, with no underlying real value or utility. Investors should be awa
