According to GMGN market data, the market capitalization of PAID on Solana briefly topped $30 million, with a 24-hour gain of over 220% and trading volume of $23.4 million in the same period. Public information shows that UsePaid is an automatic creator fee revenue-splitting tool for tokens: project teams can route creator fees generated from their meme coins into UsePaid, where 80% is converted to U.S. dollars and disbursed to designated X users via X Money, while 20% is used to repurchase and burn PAID. BlockBeats warns users that related tokens have high price volatility, so investment should be approached with caution.

OpenSea Chief Technology Officer Chris Maddern responded to the impact of the security incidents involving Magic Eden and Limit Break, stating that OpenSea’s systems and smart contracts have not been compromised. All known affected ERC-721 NFTs have been marked on the platform and cannot be sold. For newly exploited NFTs discovered subsequently, OpenSea will automatically tag them to prevent attackers from obtaining related offers. Users with remaining relevant authorizations will see a prompt banner on the platform page, along with a link to guide them to revoke those authorizations. As of now, more than 3,000 NFTs have been marked as stolen and banned from trading. OpenSea said it will continue to help mitigate the impact of this industry-wide security incident on users.

According to GMGN market data, the Solana-based meme coin e/acc exceeded $17 million in market capitalization and recorded $25.3 million in trading volume within four hours of its launch. The token’s narrative centers on Silicon Valley’s "effective accelerationism"—a concept referring to using technology and capital to push AI, energy, and growth to their absolute limits. BlockBeats reminds users that most meme coins lack real use cases, are highly volatile, and investors should exercise caution.

According to GMGN market data, the Solana-based meme coin CATE has seen its market cap surge past $107 million, currently trading at $103 million, with a 24-hour gain of over 14.7% and a 24-hour trading volume of $6.1 million. Earlier on July 26, Atsuko Sato, owner of Kabosu—the Shiba Inu that inspired Dogecoin—posted a video of a kitten. The community quickly launched the CATE token on Pump.fun, positioning it as "Doge’s successor / Cat version of Doge" to carry on the meme culture of "dogs came first, now it’s the cats’ turn". Subsequently, Atsuko Sato released a statement clarifying that the CATE token circulating in the market recently has no connection to her whatsoever. She stated that she only shared an update on Instagram before, but the content was later used without authorization by others, who then issued fake tokens under her name to create the illusion of association. She expressed regret over this, adding that some accounts involved in spreading related information even include users with significant influence on the X platform. BlockBeats reminds users that most meme coins have no real use cases, are highly volatile, and investors should exercise caution.

DoubleZero co-founder Austin Federa posted that some "industry bigwigs" have recently been spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) about the project in private communications. He emphasized that DoubleZero is fully focused on Solana: it has provided free high-speed connectivity for over 60% of Solana’s staked assets, with roughly 75% of validators using its network. The firm also runs lower-cost raw shred services and returns approximately 45% of related revenue to validators. Austin Federa added that more products for Solana are in the pipeline.

Sui ecosystem lending protocol AlphaFi announced it will undergo an orderly shutdown and has entered maintenance mode. Withdrawals remain open, but the protocol will no longer accept new deposits or borrowings. Some ALPHA-collateralized loan positions on AlphaLend were severely undercollateralized, resulting in bad debts for the protocol. After the Sui Foundation Security Team identified the issue, it collaborated with the project team to address it. The bad debts have now been fully covered, the protocol remains solvent, and user funds are secure. As part of the shutdown arrangements, users should close their positions and withdraw their assets. Slush Strategies users can now directly withdraw funds from Slush Wallet: the lock-up period for the WAL vault has been lifted, withdrawals for SUI, WAL, DEEP, and USDC strategies are instant, and the ALPHA vault has also been shut down with its lock-up period canceled.
