Dominance of EigenLayer in the Restaking Ecosystem

EigenLayer, a restaking platform on Ethereum, leads the restaking sector with a TVL of $12.9 billion as of Aug. 15. The TVL saw an 11% increase from the previous week, indicating sector growth. Restaking involves users securing AVS with their crypto assets for additional rewards. EigenLayer's TVL is mainly in WETH, making up 70% of its assets. Symbiotic and Karak, new entrants, also show growth in the market. The combined TVL of major protocols has reached $14.5 billion. The growth is attributed to the AVS Rewards mainnet launch and slashing unlock. Despite risks, such as asset slashing, restaking is seen as low-risk with enhanced rewards. The restaking market is expanding, with EigenLayer at the forefront.

Radiant Capital Hack Linked to DPRK Actor

Tuesday. December 10 at 1:00 AM

Radiant Capital alleges that hackers from North Korea orchestrated a $50 million hack on their DeFi protocol. The cybersecurity firm Mandiant identified a DPRK-nexus threat actor behind the attack. The hackers disguised themselves as a trusted former contractor to distribute malware through a fake project file. The malware created a macOS backdoor and communicated with a seemingly harmless domain. Despite following security protocols, the hackers bypassed Tenderly's measures and compromised multiple developer devices. The malicious transactions went undetected due to the seamless deception. Radiant Capital's loss highlights the sophistication of the attack and the need for heightened cybersecurity measures in the DeFi space. The incident serves as a cautionary tale for organizations to remain vigilant against evolving cyber threats.
