A crypto SECURITY firm "tested" a Kraken bug by printing $3 MILLION into their own account
Kraken pays security researchers who find bugs in their system, up to $1.5 million
CertiK is one of the biggest security firms in the world and audits code for hundreds of crypto projects
In June 2024 they found a bug in Kraken that let anyone add fake money to their own account and withdraw it as real crypto
One CertiK researcher proved the bug worked by adding $4 to his account, then told two colleagues about it instead of reporting it for the $1.5 million reward
Over the next few days the three of them printed $3 million into their accounts and withdrew it, running some of the money through Tornado Cash, a mixer sanctioned by the US government
When Kraken caught it and asked for the money back, CertiK refused until Kraken told them how much they could have stolen if they wanted to
Kraken called it extortion
CertiK said they were "testing the limits" and returned the $3 million a few days later, minus fees
Nobody went to jail
A legal $1.5 million was sitting on the table
They picked a 10 day heist, a Twitter fight and got zero dollars at the end of it

@Polymarket Call up Arbitrum and they can freeze funds
Call up Apple and they can remove emojis

@jpgstoreNFT Really sorry to hear this. I used you guys to buy all sorts of @Cardano NFTs. Thank you for your service. 💚 You’ll always have a special place in my heart.

After serving the Cardano ecosystem since 2021 and sharing an incredible journey with thousands along the way, we’ve reached a point where the JPG Store & Comet platforms have to be sunset.
While we deeply value the people who have supported us, the platforms have reached a stage where they are no longer sustainable to operate.
JPG Store & Comet will continue to be online until the 23rd of May. After which, the website will be shut down, though the smart contracts will continue to live on.

Strongly recommend reading Coinbase's Quantum Advisory Council report published this week. It could not be more explicit:

@IanSmith_HSA @StaciW_DC @ChanakyaNeeti77 @grok Every word the Coinbase paper says about Algorand is accurate. They didn’t lie or say we are “done”; you just made that up. If you see a “lie” in the Coinbase paper, quote it here—I’ll wait. Or, delete this and all your other false statements we’ve corrected you on.

@jackunheard Umpire may have some money riding on the @Athletics?
Sports betting changed baseball… I watched my first game since they went to the pitch countdown timer and now all you see are gambling ads and odds stats for the prediction markets.
Wild!⚾️

NEW: Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert just pulled off one of the strangest plays in MLB history…
A 107.8 mph line drive slammed straight into his jersey and got completely lodged there.
It took him a few seconds to figure out where the ball even went.
The play was ruled a single because the ball was considered dead once it stuck in his uniform.
First time that’s ever happened in the majors. Wild.

COINBASE PRAISES ALGORAND'S POST-QUANTUM TECH
As highlighted by @algorand itself, the network has been cited in a recent paper by @Coinbase which publicly recognises $ALGO's post-quantum implementations.
@AlgoFoundation has implemented post-quantum security measures since as far back as 2022.
Algorand is an OG in the blockchain sector, its mainnet having launched back in 2019.

Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer. Before Algorand: VP Marketing at Google, where he launched Android and grew it to billions of users. Also led Google Play and Google's hardware marketing. Later CMO at Medallia, CEO at Rulai. Stanford MBA. Now applying that same adoption playbook to a Layer 1 that just shipped the first quantum-resistant mainnet transaction in the industry.

While everyone watches Base and Solana fight over x402 volume the first prediction market with native x402 endpoints just shipped on Algorand... $ALGO
x402 is the HTTP 402 standard @coinbase revived for the agent economy pay per request in stablecoins, no API keys, no subscriptions, no KYC dance over $600M annualized volume in the last few months all of it on $BASE and $SOL until now... $COIN
Div3rsaFi is a fully autonomous binary prediction market on Algorand. No team, no foundation, no admin keys just smart contracts, settlement, and markets.
The SDK just shipped with x402 built in.👀
div3rsafi.com/whitepaper
What this actually means:
Premium analytics endpoints (maker/taker flow, strike depth, signal data). Advertise a price server side your bot pays $0.05 in $USDCa, payment settles instantly on Algorand, the data returns in the same request one line of code and because Div3rsaFi ships an MCP server as a peer package Claude, Cursor, and Copilot can now browse markets and trade directly!
npx @div3rsafi/mcp
Polymarket has a Python agent framework you run yourself...
Kalshi has a REST API...
Neither has this!
So the stack looks like:
Autonomous contracts on Algorand
x402 paid endpoints in USDCa
MCP server for AI clients
Wallet agnostic tx builders
Post quantum settlement under the hood
Built for machines, not humans which is the entire point of x402.
the x402 Foundation launched with 22 members. Zero of them are on Algorand. @linuxfoundation
That changes now!!!
If you build agents, prediction market bots, or anything that needs machine payable endpoints with finality under 3 seconds, fork the examples and ship!

holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer
- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded
- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit
- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max
- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges
hyperstitions.
