Interestingly, Tether's increase in supply doesn't seem to be correlated with a surge in trading volumes according to data provider Kaiko. | Kaiko also questions the high issuance of USDT on the Tron network, considering its minimal DeFi activity and lack of support from major exchanges like Coinbase. They propose that exchanges such as Binance and OKX hold significant USDT balances on Tron, due to its low transaction fees. | | The Solana Foundation has introduced a ChatGPT plugin that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) with the Layer 1 Solana blockchain. | The implementation allows users to directly interact with the Solana network using ChatGPT, enabling various functionalities such as buying NFTs, transferring tokens, inspecting transactions, interpreting public account data, and finding NFT collections by floor price. | The Solana Foundation has also expanded its AI-focused strategic grants program from $1 million to $10 million, as well as initiated a three-month accelerator program for university students. | | Unciphered, a cybersecurity company specializing in recovering lost or stolen crypto, claims to have found a way to physically hack into the Trezor T hardware wallet. | According to Unciphered, they utilized an "unpatchable hardware vulnerability with the STM32 chip" that allowed them to access the wallet's seed phrase and pin. The company performed a laboratory demonstration and documented it in a video. | Trezor, the hardware wallet manufacturer, stated that they didn't have enough details about the specific attack to respond fully but mentioned that it appeared to be an "RDP downgrade attack," a risk that was flagged three years ago. | | Today on Milk Road: Did Binance commingle funds?
