NeoSoul has entered into a strategic partnership with Infini to upgrade its global financial operations with the Infini Enterprise Card
According to ChainCatcher news, Agent Economy project NeoSoul announced a strategic cooperation with AI-powered financial OS Infini. Currently, NeoSoul has adopted the Infini Enterprise Card to support the team's spending scenarios such as SaaS subscriptions, AI APIs, cloud services, marketing, community operations, and collaboration tools in the process of global operations, further improving the payment efficiency and financial management capabilities of the AI/Web3 team.
With the increasing degree of global operation of AI and Web3 projects, the team's daily expenditure is showing the characteristics of high frequency, small amount, cross-border, and multi-platform. From model calling, cloud infrastructure, and node services to advertising, content production, and community growth, enterprise financial tools have become an important infrastructure that affects R&D efficiency and market execution speed. Through this partnership, NeoSoul will leverage the Infini Enterprise Card and related tools to optimize the team's experience in cross-border spending, budget management, expense visualization, and operational collaboration, providing more flexible financial support for subsequent product development and global market expansion.
In the future, the two sides will further exchange views on corporate financial operations in the AI era. Potential directions include the application of AI Agent in enterprise fee management, budget control, subscription management, and cross-border payments, the role of stablecoin payments in the global operations of AI/Web3 teams, and the payment authorization, settlement, and reputation infrastructure needs that may arise during the development of the agent economy. NeoSoul and Infini also plan to continue to pay attention to the integration of AI Agent and enterprise financial infrastructure through industry exchanges, closed-door discussions, and ecological communication, and promote more discussions on AI-native operations, stablecoin payments, and digital economy infrastructure.
NeoSoul co-foudner Kaelan said: "The development of AI agents is gradually moving from content generation and information processing to more complex economic behaviors. As agents begin to participate in forecasting, collaboration, payments, settlements, and long-term reputation accumulation, enterprises and development teams also need financial infrastructure that is better suited to globalization, digitalization, and automation. This cooperation with Infini will start from the operation scenario of NeoSoul's own team and gradually explore more possibilities for combining AI with new financial tools. ”
"NeoSoul is exploring cutting-edge directions such as AI Agents, prediction markets, and the Agent Economy, which aligns well with Infini's judgment on the future of enterprise financial automation," said Infini founder Christian. We are pleased to support NeoSoul's global operations through corporate cards and financial operation tools. In the future, Infini also looks forward to further discussions with NeoSoul around the AI-native team's financial management, stablecoin payments, and automated operations. ”

The ZetaChain vulnerability was reported by white hats in advance but ignored, ultimately leading to a $334,000 attack
According to ChainCatcher news, the cross-chain protocol ZetaChain disclosed that the security issues involved in its recent vulnerability attack of about $334,000 were reported in advance by researchers in the bug bounty program, but were regarded as "expected behavior" by the project team at the time and were not addressed.
According to the official incident review, this attack stemmed from a combination of three seemingly independent and low-risk design flaws: the Gateway contract allows anyone to send arbitrary cross-chain instructions; The receiver can perform calls to almost any contract, and the blacklist limit is too narrow. Some wallets have not been cleaned up for a long time. The attacker ultimately completed the asset transfer by combining these flaws by instructing Gateway to transfer tokens directly to its control address.
ZetaChain stated that the attack involved a total of 9 transactions on four chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BSC, and the stolen funds all came from wallets controlled by ZetaChain, and user funds were not affected. Officials said the attack was clearly premeditated. The attacker funded the wallet through Tornado Cash three days before the crime, deployed a dedicated Drainer contract in advance, and also carried out an address poisoning attack. Currently, ZetaChain has begun pushing a fix patch to mainnet nodes, permanently disabling the arbitrary call function and changing the unlimited authorization mechanism in the deposit process to "precise limit authorization".

Analysis: Bitcoin CEX inflows surged on the 27th, and whale groups are actively selling
According to CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu, the net inflow of Bitcoin CEX surged to 9,905 BTC, setting a record for the largest single-day net inflow in the past 30 days, which also caused the price of Bitcoin to fail to effectively break through the resistance level.
According to Woominkyu, the most worrying signal is the CEX Whale Ratio, which surged to 0.707 on April 27, the highest reading in over a week. This means that the top 10 inflow transactions account for more than 70% of all deposits – a clear indication that large investors are actively transferring tokens to CEXs, likely in preparation for distribution.
Woominkyu believes that the combination of whale-led inflows and rising CEX reserves suggests that smart money is preparing to sell on rallies. Unless this part of the inflow is quickly digested, the likelihood of a retest of the $74,000 to $75,000 support zone in the short term is rising significantly.

The Lido DAO proposal intends to temporarily lower the first loss protection threshold for the EarnETH vault to cover losses related to the Kelp event
According to ChainCatcher, the Lido research forum launched a new proposal to suggest that DAOs authorize the temporary lowering of the first loss protection trigger threshold for EarnETH vaults during the Kelp event. According to the current rules, Lido Earn's protection mechanism is only triggered when the vault loses more than 1% of the open position. However, the proposal pointed out that if the shortage of rsETH is solved through DeFi United, the actual loss may be less than 1%.
To ensure that EarnETH users are fully compensated, the proposal proposes a one-time exception in this event, allowing first-loss funds to cover losses below the 1% threshold. Expect a loss of around 400 to 600 ETH at the current residual borrowing rate.
The proposal emphasizes that this move is a one-time arrangement for user protection, brand reputation, and business considerations, and does not change the general rule of 1%. The proposal also has a time urgency, as the rsETH event is expected to be resolved within 5 to 10 days, compared to the standard voting window of 7 days.
