Protocol Stays Secure: Early fears of a catastrophic loss of Lido’s $22B TVL were dispelled by its robust 5-of-9 quorum system, which limited the breach’s impact. Strategic advisor Hasu explained, “The oracle isn’t a multi-sig… No user deposits were at risk.” The system’s design ensured the protocol remained operational with no further compromises. The Lido DAO vote to rotate the compromised address has unanimous support but hasn’t reached quorum yet.

Oracle Key Compromise: Lido Finance faced a security scare when an oracle key, managed by Chorus One, was compromised, draining 1.46 ETH ($3,800). Initial panic suggested Lido’s $22B total value locked (TVL) was at risk, but no user funds were lost. Lido’s DAO swiftly initiated an emergency vote to replace the compromised key, reassuring users.

⛺️ Camp: Autonomous IP Layer 1 Blockchain. ⛺️ What is Camp: Camp is a Layer-1 blockchain for IP and AI. Its Proof of Provenance Protocol lets creators tokenize IP—music, code, or data—with verifiable ownership and royalties. Users can deploy AI agents to create and monetize IP in a trustless system. With gasless registration and $30M from 1kx, Blockchain Capital, and others, Camp empowers creators to own their work. ⁉️ Why Does Camp Exist: AI models often scrape content without crediting creators, eroding ownership. Camp fixes this with on-chain IP protection. Its Origin Framework registers IP with programmable licensing, and mAItrix powers AI agents trained on user-owned IP. With 250+ teams building on Camp, it ensures creators control and monetize their work in an AI-driven world.
