PANews reported on November 23 that Port3 Network released an incident report on its X platform regarding a hacking attack. Port3 Network stated that it used NEXA Network's cross-chain token solution, CATERC20. However, CATERC20 has a boundary condition verification vulnerability. After token ownership was relinquished, the function returned a value of 0, which happens to match the ownership verification condition. Therefore, the ownership check failed, making unauthorized access possible. This issue was not mentioned in the CATERC20 audit report. Because Port3 tokens had previously relinquished ownership to achieve greater decentralization, they were in this vulnerable state.


Wormhole’s native token has had a tough time since launch, debuting at $1.66 before dropping significantly despite the general crypto market’s bull cycle. Wormhole, an interoperability protocol facilitating asset transfers between blockchains, announced updated tokenomics to its native Wormhole (W) token, including a token reserve and more yield for stakers. The changes could affect the protocol’s governance, as staked Wormhole tokens allocate voting power to delegates.According to a Wednesday announcement, three main changes are coming to the Wormhole token: a W reserve funded with protocol fees and revenue, a 4% base yield for staking with higher rewards for active ecosystem participants, and a change from bulk unlocks to biweekly unlocks.“The goal of Wormhole Contributors is to significantly expand the asset transfer and messaging volume that Wormhole facilitates over the next 1-2 years,” the protocol said. According to Wormhole, more tokens will be locked as adoption takes place and revenue filters back to the company.Read more
