Key Points: Recent targeted attacks on DeFi protocols, including Balancer, highlight security vulnerabilities. BlockSec prevented $83.7 million in losses by mitigating attacks across multiple blockchains. Ongoing security concerns and potential for increased regulatory scrutiny in the DeFi space. BlockSec revealed that Balancer and its forked protocols across six blockchain networks suffered sophisticated attacks, resulting in substantial financial losses, with Ethereum alone losing $70 million. The attacks underscore vulnerabilities in DeFi protocols, prompting urgent security measures and liquidity provider withdrawals to stabilize the impacted chains. BlockSec’s Role in Preventing $83.7 Million DeFi Losses BlockSec, a blockchain security firm, identified and mitigated attacks on Balancer and similar DeFi protocols. Losses totaled $83.7 million across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Sonic, Arbitrum, and Optimism chains. The attacks prompted immediate security responses, including protocol pauses and user notifications to withdraw funds. For those seeking more strategic action steps, you can find guidance on how to withdraw LP funds before protocol pauses. These measures aim to prevent further financial damage and reinforce security protocols across affected platforms. “With the help of BlockSec, about $246K attacked by the 4th attacker has been fully refunded. The attack has been mitigated and all affected metapools have been paused. User funds are safe.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
