Hacken Club (HAI) Official Announcements Channel

~$4B lost in 2025, up 37% from 2024.
That’s how brutal 2025 was for Web3 security.

From CEX breaches to DeFi exploits and operational slip-ups – Web3 faced a year of painful (but valuable) lessons.

Hacken Alpha Intelligence Weekly Digest #47
Instead of another list of tickers, today’s DYOR Alpha thread looks at the invisible infrastructure holding a lot of narratives together.

Four names the community spent time on: ZenChain, IXS, Aligned Layer, Frax Finance.

What they actually power and where the risks sit 👇

Hacken Alpha Intelligence Weekly Digest #46

Everyone is farming the shiny coins.
DYOR Alpha went for the stuff behind the coins.

Our community dug into 4 infra plays that keep showing up on radars: Nockchain $NOCK, Union Build $U, Fuse Network $FUSE, ChintaiNexus $CHEX.

What they do, main areas to monitor, and why they might be worth a watchlist.

Proof-of-Opinion is Live on CORE3 🧑‍🎓

Proof-of-Opinion (PoO) is the expert, human layer on top of CORE3’s quantitative risk scoring.

Only a human expert can tell whether protocol matters and is used.

PoL: “Here is what the data shows.”
PoO: “Here is how an expert interprets it.”

Reviews from DYOR-certified experts include:
Objective analysis of the project’s utility;
Insights on funding, utility, and community sentiment;
Real-time project vitality and momentum.

Although PoO does not contribute to Probability-of-Loss, it lets users compare a project's risk exposure with its current heartbeat.

Expert PoO reviews are now available on app.core3.io

Hacken Alpha Intelligence Weekly Digest #45
While most crypto chases users, these 4 build the infrastructure adoption depends on: cross-chain lending with 693K users, $300M ARR energy grids, FHE computing with 100M+ transactions, and AI audits beating traditional tools. Real execution, real metrics—but anonymous teams, missing audits, and pre-token risks still lurk.
