Security agency: NPM supply chain attacked, developer qix was compromised
According to Scam Sniffer, the well-known developer qix was attacked by phishing, which resulted in malicious code being injected into the npm software package. The relevant packages include chalk, strip-ansi, color-convert, etc. The attack method is to hook the wallet function, tamper with the ETH/SOL transaction payment address, and replace the address in the network response. It is recommended that users must verify the payee and amount on the wallet interface, check the address changes after pasting, review recent transactions, and use hardware wallets for high-value operations. Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet said that the relevant software package has been downloaded more than 1 billion times, which means that the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. Malicious code can quietly replace the encrypted address when the user is trading and steal funds. Hardware wallet users can avoid risks by verifying the transaction signature. Non-hardware wallet users are advised to postpone on-chain operations. It is currently unclear whether the mnemonic phrase is stolen.

MegaETH and Ethena jointly launch native stablecoin USDm to subsidize sequencer fees
According to The Block, MegaETH, an Ethereum scaling solution developed by MegaLabs, is launching an on-chain stablecoin called USDm. This stablecoin is designed to replace traditional sorter deposits and use reserve revenue to cover network operating costs. This model, built in collaboration with the decentralized finance protocol Ethena, aims to align on-chain and ecosystem incentives by operating sorters at cost, keeping transaction fees low and stable for users and developers. Currently, many Layer 2 networks generate revenue by adding a markup to sorter fees. USDm aims to address this issue: when a project launches on mainnet, it will use stablecoin reserve revenue to cover shared network costs. The first version of USDm will be issued on Ethena's USDtb protocol layer. A MegaETH representative told The Block that USDm will be redeemable for USDtb at launch, rather than offering direct fiat redemption. The team did not disclose the target float to cover daily operating expenses, stating that these parameters will be determined over time. Regarding other revenue sources, such as MEV, MegaETH stated that details will be announced before the mainnet launch.
