Written by: Tia, Techub News In the early single-chain era, role boundaries were very clear. Bridges are just bridges, DEXs are just DEXs, and DEX aggregators solve the problem of "how to swap the cheapest on the same chain." If you swap ETH for USDC on Ethereum, tools like 1inch and Matcha are the natural choices. During this stage, "swap" was considered an intra-chain issue. When the multi-chain era arrived, users began to frequently cross chains, and new demands emerged: assets need to move from Chain A to Chain B. This is when bridges and "bridge aggregators" appeared. Initially, their job was very simple: help you compare prices and speeds across different bridges, for example, moving ETH from Ethereum to

Amid Trump's push to annex Greenland, community users proposed a marriage alliance between 19-year-old Barron Trump and 18-year-old Danish Princess Isabella, with Greenland as a dowry sent to the United States.

As cryptocurrency prices rise and blockchain transactions become irreversible once transferred, a new form of crime is emerging worldwide. Criminals are no longer just hacking accounts online; they are directly targeting investors themselves through home invasions, gun threats, and even kidnapping, forcing victims to unlock their phones and wallets to complete transfers on the spot. Statistics show that since 2020, over 215 physical cryptocurrency attack cases have been recorded globally, with the number of cases in 2025 nearly doubling that of the previous year. Victims are no longer limited to high-level crypto insiders or those flaunting wealth; instead, an increasing number of ordinary-looking, small to medium-sized investors with modest assets but holding certain crypto holdings are being targeted. From remote hackers to offline violence, small investors are more easily targeted An example is Julia (, a retired woman investor from Florida, who used a pseudonym. In 2021, she was targeted in a SIM card swap attack, and within just a few minutes...

Author: 0xjacobzhao In our previous Crypto AI series reports, we consistently emphasized the following point: the most practically valuable scenarios in the current crypto space are mainly focused on stablecoin payments and DeFi, while Agents are the key interface between AI industry and users. Therefore, in the trend of integrating Crypto and AI, the two most valuable paths are: in the short term, AgentFi based on existing mature DeFi protocols (such as lending, liquidity mining, and other basic strategies, as well as advanced strategies like Swap, Pendle PT, and funding rate arbitrage), and in the medium to long term, Agents centered around stablecoin settlement and relying on protocols like ACP/AP2/x402/ERC-8004.

With the dramatic change in Venezuela's political situation, Maduro was detained by the US military, and the shadow reserves of Bitcoin worth up to $60 billion have become a mystery.

Information technology service company Coforge(Coforge) has acquired Encora(Encora) with a scale of approximately 3.38 trillion Korean won, accelerating its entry into the next-generation AI technology market. Coforge plans to leverage this acquisition to capitalize on Encora's AI and technological capabilities headquartered in New Jersey, USA. In particular, Encora's enterprise application development, AI-based data processing, and user interface design capabilities are regarded as core assets. Coforge has raised a bridge loan of $550 million (about 7.9 trillion Korean won) to restructure Encora's existing debt and plans to complete the transaction through an equity swap. Encora's advantage lies in its ability to provide global enterprises with technology that optimizes large language models(LLM) based on internal data, or transform them into automated agents integrated into enterprise applications. The company processes unstructured data through its proprietary platform "AIVA" and has achieved

AAVE has plunged more than 10% in the past 24 hours amid renewed governance controversy, with accusations that Aave Labs secretly redirected significant swap fee revenue away from the Aave DAO treasury.

The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending platform Aave is facing strong Rebound from the community. The controversy arises from Aave's recent introduction of a 0.15% to 0.25% fee on the originally free asset swap function in the official front-end interface, and this revenue does not flow into the DAO treasury but is retained by the development company Aave Labs. This move has sparked widespread discussion in the community about whether "decentralized governance is being undermined," and has focused the entire Decentralized Finance community on a core question: who truly controls the value and revenue of the protocol? From Free to Paid: Major Changes to Aave's Frontend Swap Functionality In the past, Aave users could perform free asset swaps through its official front end (such as app.aave.com), such as swapping between USDC and DAI or ETH, only bearing the basic DEX slippage and

Revenue Dispute: Delegates claim CowSwap integration redirected swap fees away from the Aave DAO. Governance Backlash: Tokenholders warn alleged revenue losses could exceed $10 million annually. Labs Defense: Aave Labs cites long-term innovation and DAO value creation to counter

Author: Chloe, ChainCatcher Recently, the controversy between Aave DAO and Aave Labs has been exposed. The former is responsible for governance protocols, while the latter develops Aave products. The focus of this dispute is the fee issue arising from the recent announcement of deep integration with CoW Swap. An Aave DAO member using the pseudonym EzR3aL pointed out that Aave Labs recently integrated CoW Swap services, originally intended to optimize user trading paths, but on-chain data shows that the fees generated from this integration no longer flow into the DAO, but directly into Labs' private address. At the current rate, approximately $10 million will flow out of the DAO treasury in one year. EzR3aL raised concerns to the community: why was there no prior consultation with the DAO regarding the fees?

Blocto—the leading multi-chain smart wallet and key infrastructure provider in the Flow ecosystem—announced it will cease operations for its core wallet, swap, and cross-chain bridge services effective December 18, 2025, at 7 PM PST.

Flow ecosystem's well-known cross-chain smart wallet Blocto officially announced on December 17 that it will terminate its wallet, Swap, and cross-chain bridge services at 7 PM PST on December 18.
