Michael Egorov, the founder of Curve, stated through a representative on Telegram on Friday that a vulnerability in UwU Lend caused a series of events that led to Curve's massive liquidation on Thursday. Egorov used Curve's CRV token as collateral to obtain a $100 million loan from various protocols, which began automatic liquidation on Thursday, causing the token to drop 30%, then briefly recover.Egorov said, "On April 15, UwU Lend deployed vulnerable code for the sUSDe market, which is not isolated, so the entire platform bears the risk. UwU was hacked, and as part of the cash-out operation, the hacker deposited the stolen CRV from UwU into lending.curve.fi (Llama Lend), then disappeared with the funds, leaving the debt in the system."Egorov estimates that the bad debt in the specific CRV lending pool is $10 million (already repaid 93%). Although this market is completely isolated from other lending pools, as long as the bad debt exists, CRV depositors cannot withdraw their funds. However, Egorov said that this situation may help strengthen Curve's security measures and lending mechanisms, and may provide better services to users in the coming months.

Euro-backed stablecoins are becoming increasingly popular among cryptocurrency traders in Europe and worldwide, potentially challenging the dominance of USD stablecoins in the market. The weekly volume of Euro-backed stablecoins has consistently exceeded $40 million since March, with demand picking up in European markets despite traditionally lagging behind the US and APAC regions. The impending Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation in Europe is set to shake up the stablecoin market, with Binance planning to restrict stablecoins that don't meet MiCA standards and Kraken reviewing compliance with EU standards. The rise of compliant EUR stablecoin issuers may give them an advantage over those operating without the necessary e-money licenses.

The initial version of the Governance Hub will focus on two of the three pillars of Polygon governance - protocol governance and System Smart Contract (SSC) governance. Builders and community members can propose Polygon Improvement Proposals (PIPs) for upgrades to both protocol and SSC governance. For SSC governance, the Protocol Committee will release transparent reports after PIPs are put on the chain. Token holders can vote on the actions of the Protocol Committee or delegate their vote to community representatives who represent their interests, as long as they have staked tokens.

Farcaster announced last month that it has raised $150 million, led by Paradigm, with a valuation of $1 billion. This is the largest investment in Web3 social media to date. One explanation for why the valuation is so high is that cryptocurrency venture capital firms are involved. "If venture capital still has LP capital to invest, they 'invested $150 million' instead of returning it, which means they can charge themselves an additional $20-30 million in management fees," wrote cryptocurrency investor Liron Shapira. A source who requested anonymity due to business constraints said that, like most protocols, they expect Farcaster to launch tokens, and investors will be eager to capture their fully diluted value.
