Held as a captivating side event of GMVietnam, this eagerly anticipated gathering exceeded all expectations, attracting an astounding number of over 280 enthusiastic applicants. This truly showcased the palpable industry-wide interest in the revolutionary world of Web3.

With an unwavering commitment to empowering developers and unleashing their creative potential, KNN3 took center stage at the event, captivating attendees with a vision that ignited their imagination. 

KNN3: Maximizing the Potentials of Data Middle Layers in Web3 dApp growth.

At the forefront of the discussions was KNN3's groundbreaking approach to maximizing the potentials of data middle layers in Web3 dApp growth. With a clear mission to assist app builders on their journey to excellence, KNN3 presented itself as an indispensable partner—a turbo boost for product development. By seamlessly bridging data gaps and harnessing the power of a cutting-edge graph database, KNN3 offered a solution that empowers developers to channel their energy into building top-notch applications.

The sheer magnitude of the Web3 revolution became evident as the Q1 Web3 Development Report by Alchemy highlighted record-breaking numbers in terms of Web3 developers. Amidst this sea of opportunity, developers recognize the need for a flexible development platform—one that can swiftly navigate the intricate challenges of the data layer. KNN3 emerged as the catalyst that enables projects to soar above the competition, while facilitating risk-taking and experimentation—an essential ingredient for success in the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape.

By seamlessly integrating multi-chain data and embracing over 16 protocols, KNN3 crafted a lambda-style workflow that empowers developers to unleash their creativity. Through the platform's novel approach, developers gain the ability to formulate SQL queries and generate custom APIs tailored to their dApps. A standout feature of KNN3 lies in its user-centric data paradigm—a unifier that links all user behaviors, transcending chains and protocols.

Eager to embrace the future while staying at the forefront of innovation, KNN3 also revealed plans to extend support to Moonbeam—an exciting development that further expands compatibility and opens doors to even greater possibilities.

Within KNN3's impressive suite of services, 2 distinct offerings stand out: the Real-Time Data Service and the Lambda-Style Workflow Service. The Real-Time Data Service provides developers with direct access to the dynamic KNN3 API, unveiling a vast array of real-time data sources encompassing user identity, behavior, and relationships. From DIDs to Social Graphs, from Twitter to DeFi, GameFi, and Governance Tools, this service equips Web3 dApps with comprehensive real-time data—ideal for basic user data fetching and address status monitoring.

Complementing this is the powerful Lambda-Style Workflow Service. Harnessing the simplicity and versatility of SQL, this service empowers developers to transform data retrieval and processing into an effortless journey. For those unfamiliar with SQL, KNN3 thoughtfully offers AI-assisted SQL writing and templates—democratizing accessibility to vital data and eliminating technical hurdles. Ideal for dApps requiring advanced on-chain data processing or computation tasks, this service is a game-changer, streamlining API creation and unlocking newfound potential.

When it comes to harnessing basic Web3 data, such as DIDs and NFT metadata, KNN3 takes the concept of real-time to unprecedented heights. In just 30 seconds after the data is on-chain, developers can tap into this information through KNN3's real-time API, accelerating development timelines without compromising accuracy. Inclusive of comprehensive resources like documentation, decks, and videos, KNN3 guides developers on their journey, ensuring they navigate the Web3 landscape with confidence and finesse.

At the heart of KNN3's offerings lies an unwavering commitment to simplifying tasks while empowering innovation. Developers find solace within the platform's ability to handle complex campaigns effortlessly. Take, for instance, the scenario of rewarding community members based on specific on-chain activities. Traditionally, such calculations would necessitate complex data queries and backend setup. However, with KNN3, developers can streamline this process by deploying tasks in one central location—fetching eligible addresses through Chainlink's any API and syncing seamlessly with smart contracts.

The 'Igniting Innovation with #WEB3' Vietnam Meet-Up emerged as a resounding success, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. Its overwhelming popularity, boasting over 280 applicants, serves as a testament to the growing significance of Web3 technologies and the immense potential they hold.

  • Bitget CEO Reveals $80,000 Loss from Impersonation Scam Linked to Lazarus Group

    On September 26, Crypto Briefing reported that Bitget CEO Gracy Chen disclosed a loss of approximately $80,000 from her personal wallet due to a social engineering attack disguised as a journalist interview. The attack involved hackers stealing the X account of a well-known crypto media outlet and impersonating a journalist to contact her under the guise of scheduling an interview. Chen stated that her personal losses are not covered by Bitget's user protection fund, which only covers users and not the CEO's personal wallet. Previously, Bitget's cold and hot wallets were hacked, resulting in an estimated loss of about $387.5 million (revised from an initial estimate of $351.6 million). The attackers did not utilize private keys but instead forged transaction data to redirect funds; the user protection fund has a scale of over $464 million. Chen attributed both incidents to the North Korean Lazarus Group, noting that the modus operandi and operational characteristics are consistent with the group's past actions, and mentioned that her personal wallet had previously been targeted, with tactics related to those used against other exchanges.

  • Bitget Confirms Being Deceived into 'Self-Approving' $388 Million Transfer, Losses Revised

    On September 26, Unchained reported that Bitget stated attackers transferred approximately $387.5 million from its exchange on Thursday, revising the initially estimated loss of $351.6 million after accounting for transfers on the Zcash and TRON chains. The attackers did not require private keys: CEO Gracy Chen mentioned that the attackers compromised key backend systems of its wallet infrastructure, forged transaction data, and triggered the authorization process, which was signed by Bitget's own system. The related vulnerability has been identified and fixed, and the withdrawal status, which has been suspended since Thursday, will be announced before midnight Eastern Time. Mandiant and SlowMist are assisting with the investigation. Chen noted that based on IP behavior patterns and on-chain signatures, this attack is consistent with methods used by North Korean-linked hacker organizations and resembles the previous $1.5 billion theft case from Bybit. Nansen tracking shows that 40,000 ETH were evenly distributed to four new addresses; as of Friday, 6:34 PM Eastern Time, eight attacker addresses held a total of approximately 68,300 ETH (about $18.4 million), with no further transactions initiated. Bitget stated that some of the funds have been frozen and is offering a 5% bounty on the recovered amounts to those who facilitate the freezing; the $464 million protection fund fully covers the losses.

  • Vitalik: Significant Progress in Mobile Offline Local Knowledge Applications, but Problem-Solving Ability Still Weaker than Notebook-Level Models

    On September 26, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on X that he is testing a mobile offline local knowledge application recently developed by the community (with a related bounty link attached). He noted that these applications are significantly better than the product he attempted to build himself two months ago, but they still perform slower and less effectively than models that can run on a notebook when handling complex problems. Vitalik pointed out that the weakest aspect of these applications is professional travel-related queries, citing the test case 'Tell me the best vegetarian restaurant in my current city,' but none of the tested applications performed well. He expressed hope for continued improvements in such products and wishes to reach a level where users can comfortably query any facts of interest without needing an internet connection.

  • Analyst: Bitcoin Enters Bull Market Phase as MVRV Ratio Surpasses 1.0 Baseline

    On September 26, crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Bitcoin has transitioned from an early bull market to a bull market phase. The adjusted MVRV 30-day/365-day moving average ratio he tracks broke above the 1.0 baseline on September 20 (with the short-term average surpassing the annual average), at which point BTC was priced at $80,691. Previously, this ratio had crossed above the 365-day moving average on August 20, marking the entry into the early bull market when BTC was priced at $71,255; this phase lasted for 31 days, during which Bitcoin rose by 13%. The current ratio stands at 1.018, with BTC priced at $84,156. As long as it remains above 1.0, the structure will maintain a bullish outlook. This marks the sixth such transition since 2012, and in four of the previous five instances, the bull market ended with prices above the entry price, with the only exception being August 2015, when the bull market lasted only 16 days.

  • CFTC Sues Cash FX Over $950 Million Crypto-Related Forex Scam, Investors Lose at Least $406 Million

    On September 26, Cointelegraph reported that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a lawsuit against Cash FX Group and three individuals, involving $950 million and elements of cryptocurrency. The defendants include Cash FX and its CEO Huascar Jose Lopez Castillo (Brazil), The Conversion Pros and its CEO Ronald Pope (Oregon), as well as Justin Halladay (Florida). The CFTC stated that the complaint was submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida on Friday. The agency accuses the defendants of operating a multi-level marketing Ponzi scheme, raising over $950 million under the guise of trading retail forex contracts in a commodity pool, falsely claiming that funds were managed by expert traders, proprietary algorithms, and artificial intelligence, with promises of returns as high as 15% per week. The CFTC pointed out that Cash FX engaged in very little actual forex trading, misappropriating most participants' funds to pay fictitious trading profits with new investments, while funneling millions of dollars to the defendants and providing false accounting statements. Participants have suffered losses of at least $406 million.

  • China and the U.S. Reach Consensus on Eight Key Outcomes

    On September 26, according to CCTV, Chinese President Xi Jinping made a state visit to the United States from September 23 to 25. During this period, the two heads of state engaged in in-depth discussions on building a constructive strategic stable relationship between China and the U.S. and addressing major international and regional issues, reaching a consensus on eight key outcomes, including: 1. Both sides agreed to establish a 'constructive strategic stable relationship based on respect, fairness, and equality.' 2. Both sides agreed to support each other in successfully hosting the informal meeting of APEC leaders and the G20 leaders' summit, with both heads of state intending to attend each other's hosted meetings. 3. The two heads of state agreed that Iran should fulfill its commitment not to develop nuclear weapons, and that no country or organization should impose tolls on international waterways. 4. The two heads of state recalled that China and the U.S. were allies in World War II, fighting side by side to achieve victory. 5. The two heads of state recognized the positive role of the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism and the outcomes of consultations by both economic and trade teams, including the establishment and promotion of mechanisms such as the Trade Council, reaching a '30 billion USD' reciprocal tariff reduction arrangement, and postponing the results of the Kuala Lumpur economic and trade consultations, and instructed for their implementation. 6. The cooperation between the drug enforcement agencies of China and the U.S. has yielded visible results. Recently, both sides closely collaborated to jointly crack multiple cases involving new psychoactive substances and precursor chemicals, resulting in the arrest of dozens of related criminal suspects in both countries. 7. Both sides agreed to establish a China-U.S. dialogue on artificial intelligence to discuss the associated risks and benefits. The next dialogue will be held in November this year, and both sides agreed to establish a communication channel for AI-related incidents. 8. The U.S. welcomed the loan of a pair of giant pandas from China to the Atlanta Zoo. In addition, the military of both countries agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding to strengthen crisis communication and prevention as soon as possible and to continue cooperating in the search for the remains of U.S. military personnel missing in China.

  • New SEC Guidelines: Staked ETH Receipt Tokens Do Not Constitute Securities, Provided They Are Purely 'Receipts'

    On September 26, according to BeInCrypto, the U.S. SEC's Division of Corporation Finance released new guidelines clarifying that tokens received from staking Ethereum do not constitute securities, provided their function is purely as 'receipts'. The document states that when tokens are backed by 'digital commodities', staked receipt tokens are considered 'digital tools'; the SEC and CFTC listed 16 types of digital commodities in a clarification document on March 17, including Ethereum (ETH). The guidelines set conditions: tokens must not alter the rights associated with the staked ETH or provide additional rewards, and service providers must not lend, stake, or reuse the deposited tokens; this contrasts with Kraken's $30 million fine in 2023 for promoting yield and shutting down its staking services in the U.S. The document also covers buybacks: announcing a buyback when the network is operational does not constitute a commitment that would turn the tokens into securities; however, it may still constitute one if the network is not yet complete.
