Web3 Security Is Evolving 🔓
Flash Pools showed the power of real-yield staking — but that was just the beginning.
Introducing Hack:Pot — the next phase of decentralized security.
An open, industry-wide audit pool platform built to scale.
Here’s what’s changing 👇

Flash Pools were a proof of concept:
• ~20M $HAI staked
• 228 reports submitted
• 21 projects secured
But demand outpaced supply — pools filled in minutes.

What is Hack:Pot?- A decentralized security marketplace where:
• Protocols launch audit pools
• Security firms compete to secure them
• Users back audits by staking $HAI
• Ethical hackers submit findings via HackenProo

Hack:Pot is now open to:
• Security firms
• DeFi protocols
• Auditors
• $HAI stakers
• Curious contributors

A new standard in security funding. Built together — not alone.

Gas-less $HAI Swap is LIVE 🆕
No more juggling gas tokens. No more asking friends for $VTHO on VeChain or $ETH on Base.
Now you can bridge from VeChain to Base in one click – and pay fees in $HAI only.

Here’s how it works:
• One transaction
• No $VTHO or $ETH needed
• Pay fees with $HAI
• Optional $ETH top-up to start transacting on Base right away
Simple. Smooth. Seamless.

This update also brings some long-awaited hAI App fixes:
• Unified bridge screen – all networks in one clean place
• Re-login bug? Squashed.
• Startup crash bug? Gone.
It’s not just smoother – it’s finally how it should be.

This upgrade makes accessing everything we’re building on Base easier than ever.

📚 DYOR Fridays continues
Before Alpha Intelligence. Before validation loops.

There was just a belief:
🧠 That research could be a skill.
🤝 That people could earn trust - not just tokens.

This is how it all began 👇

Monday Dev Update 🔧
ERC-20 Token History Fixed: We’ve fixed the issue where transaction history for tokens on EVM chains (like Ethereum, Base, BSC) wasn’t showing. Now you can see your full token activity again.

Behind the Scenes Upgrade: We added a new system that lets us update APIs and keys instantly - without needing a new app release. This means if something breaks (like what happened with the transaction history), we can fix it immediately and prevent similar issues.

Have a good start to the week
