Bitcoin Gets Ethereum-Style Smart Contracts with BRC-2.0 Upgrade

Bitcoin Gets Ethereum-Style Smart Contracts with BRC-2.0 Upgrade

The post Bitcoin Gets Ethereum-Style Smart Contracts with BRC-2.0 Upgrade appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new upgrade introduces programmability to Bitcoin-based tokens, opening the gates for DeFi and NFTs. BRC-20 tokens on the Bitcoin network can now run Ethereum-style smart contracts with a new upgrade, opening the door for apps and DeFi directly on the network. The update, known as BRC-2.0, was activated at Bitcoin block height 912,690, marking another step in the Bitcoin community’s efforts to elevate the cryptocurrency’s status from just a store of value to a platform capable of supporting dApps and DeFi protocols. “BRC-20 2.0 signals a new chapter for Bitcoin, moving it from a passive store of value toward a programmable financial layer,” Leo Fan, co-founder of Cysic, said in a commentary for The Defiant. “The real test will be whether developers can deliver meaningful applications that justify the added complexity in a network where scalability and culture remain difficult hurdles.” BRC-2.0 adds Ethereum-style smart contract support to the BRC-20 indexer, letting blockchain developers build directly on Bitcoin without relying on cross-chain bridges or wrapped tokens. This means Bitcoin-native tokens are becoming programmable and able to work smoothly with other EVM-compatible chains. Edan Yago, CEO and co-founder of BitcoinOS, a framework that adds smart contract functionality, told The Defiant that the upgrade gives developers the ability, for the first time, to create “fully-programmable tokens and smart contracts on Bitcoin, make BTC itself programmable (much as wETH makes ETH programmable), build rollups on Bitcoin and to use ZK to bridge BTC in an effectively trustless manner.” “By unlocking programmability directly on Bitcoin, we are mobilizing dormant capital, enabling institutions and developers alike to innovate on the world’s most secure and valuable network,” Yago added. ‘Digital Golden Fuel’ Dmitry Gusakov, tech lead at Ethereum staking protocol Lido, told The Defiant that for Ethereum, EVM has become “one of the key success…

$27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack

$27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack

The post $27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Rumors spread fast in crypto. Yesterday, whispers of an exploit on Venus Protocol sent shockwaves across X. At first, some thought the lending protocol itself had been breached. But hours of joint analysis cleared the air, Venus wasn’t hacked. Instead, a phishing attack snared a whale, draining $27 million in assets with one bad transaction. This wasn’t a protocol failure. It was human error. And it’s a stark reminder of DeFi’s biggest weakness: one careless click can wipe out a fortune. The victim approved a malicious transaction from a fake site. That single signature gave the attacker’s burner wallet, 0x7fd8…202a, unlimited access to his tokens. Once approval was granted, the attacker struck instantly. Assets vanished in seconds. According to Cyvers Alerts 🚨ALERT🚨27M suspicious transaction has been detected involving a user of @VenusProtocol on the #BNBChain The user unknowingly approved a malicious transaction, granting token permissions that resulted in the loss of $27M in digital assets.

Just like that. The Wild Part: Venus Was Never Hacked Venus Protocol confirmed on X Update: we are in direct contact with the victim of the phishing attack, and the protocol will remain paused while we try to recover his funds.

Pudgy Penguins’ New Mobile Game Tops Apple Store Charts

The post Pudgy Penguins’ New Mobile Game Tops Apple Store Charts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The NFT company continues to gain popularity with a mainstream audience. Pudgy Penguins’ new mobile game, Pudgy Party, has skyrocketed up the iOS mobile app store rankings to become the top-ranked mobile racing app in the Apple Store. Pudgy Party was released just three days ago on Aug. 29, and features six different game modes where users can play solo or multiplayer to climb leaderboards and earn in-game skins. Pudgy Party – Apple App Store The non-fungible token (NFT) brand’s IP coverage has been consistently expanding since CEO Luca Netz acquired the brand in 2023, with its physical toys featured in Walmart and Amazon, a children’s book deal with Random House, and now a mobile game. The Pudgy Penguins NFTs remain one of the profile picture (PFP) space’s premium assets, and the collection changes hands at a 9.95 ETH ($42,700) floor price, after briefly surpassing a 30 ETH floor in anticipation of the PENGU token airdrop in December. PENGU is up 2% on the day to $0.029, or a $2.3 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV). The token is still down more than 30% from its July all-time high, but is up 660% from its April lows.

Readers should conduct independent research before taking any actions related to the project mentioned in this piece. This article should not be regarded as investment advice. Artificial Intelligence pioneer Vincent Boucher has unveiled the latest milestone in his decades-long work on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): the launch of AGI Alpha’s Meta-Agentic Jobs Marketplace, a decentralized blockchain-powered platform designed to reshape how intelligence is deployed, monetized, and scaled globally. The Jobs Marketplace, now live on Solana and fueled by the $AGIALPHA utility token, introduces a fully on-chain job-routing system where AI agents autonomously bid for and execute tasks. Vincent Boucher’s Path to AGI Alpha Boucher’s personal story forms the backbone of AGI Alpha’s vision. Born in Québec City in 1973, he overcame a turbulent childhood in foster care before discovering an insatiable passion for knowledge at the age of 14. By his early twenties, he had completed a B.Sc. in Theoretical Physics in just one year. He went on to earn two Master’s degrees, one in Government Policy Analysis (1998) and another in Aerospace Engineering (2000). His early career included consulting for the Canadian Space Agency before he fully committed to AI research in 2003. Since then, he has led MONTREAL.AI and QUEBEC.AI, establishing himself at the forefront of global AI innovation.

A year later, he introduced the concept of “Multi-Agent AI DAOs”, proposing networks of AI systems capable of coordinating and directing one another. That blueprint, now seen as foundational intellectual property for the AI-blockchain intersection, laid the groundwork for AGI Alpha. AGI Alpha…

Ozak AI, POL, PYTH, XRP, and Solana

The post Ozak AI, POL, PYTH, XRP, and Solana appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto markets in 2025 are shaping up to be one of the most thrilling intervals for both institutional and retail investors. With Bitcoin pushing new highs and altcoins gaining sparkling momentum, the hunt for the next huge winners has intensified. Among the top projects, Ozak AI, POL, PYTH, XRP, and Solana stand out as projects with strong fundamentals, developing adoption, and huge upside potential. Ozak AI (OZ) Ozak AI has emerged as one of the most hyped presales of the year, combining the power of artificial intelligence with blockchain generation to deliver predictive analytics, forecasting equipment, and smart trading solutions. Currently in its fifth OZ presale stage at $0.01 per token, the assignment has already raised over $2.5 million and offered more than 830 million tokens, signaling strong investor confidence. Ozak AI’s ecosystem is built on the Ozak Stream Network (OSN) and powered by its unique Prediction Agents, which provide traders with customizable AI-driven insights. With a Certik audit completed, a CoinMarketCap listing secured, and early community support booming, analysts believe Ozak AI could replicate or even surpass the early momentum of Solana or XRP.

Pepe Dollar (PEPD) Presale is Positioned to match Pepe coin Success As PEPD Smashes Presale Stage 1

Pepe Dollar (PEPD) Presale is Positioned to match Pepe coin Success As PEPD Smashes Presale Stage 1

The post Pepe Dollar (PEPD) Presale is Positioned to match Pepe coin Success As PEPD Smashes Presale Stage 1 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp If there were a “PEPE Newspaper” printing daily headlines from the crypto world, today’s front page would be clear: Pepe Dollar (PEPD) presale smashes Stage 1 and sets sights on Pepe Coin-level success. The project, a parody on the U.S. Federal Reserve fused with meme culture, has drawn in millions during its opening presale phase. The pace has caught analysts’ attention, many of whom now see PEPD as the heir apparent to Pepe Coin’s viral dominance. Lessons From Pepe Coin’s Meteoric Rise Pepe Coin demonstrated in 2023 that memes alone can command a valuation of billions. It rode cultural hype and community memes to levels few predicted, achieving a market cap north of $4 billion. However, Pepe Coin also revealed the fragility of pure hype cycles. Without long-term infrastructure, sustaining momentum is difficult. This is exactly where Pepe Dollar (PEPD) aims to differentiate. Instead of relying only on memes, Pepe Dollar (PEPD) embeds a staking system, minting tools, and ecosystem utilities to anchor value. PEPD’s Stage 1 Momentum According to presale updates, Stage 1 of the Pepe Dollar (PEPD) presale sold out rapidly, with only a limited supply of discounted tokens available before the fixed launch price. This has fueled urgency, echoing the early days of Pepe Coin when traders scrambled for exposure before the community-driven hype cycle exploded. But this time, PEPD holders also gain access to a roadmap of functional tools — a stronger foundation than memes alone. Why Analysts See “Pepe Coin 2.0” Potential Crypto analysts watching the presale point out three reasons Pepe Dollar (PEPD) could match or surpass Pepe Coin’s success: Advertisement &nbsp Utility + Culture: Unlike Pepe Coin, PEPD fuses meme energy with real features like minting platforms and staking. Ethereum Foundation: Built on Ethereum (ETH), PEPD taps into…
