Chaos Labs walked away from a $5M retention package, ending its three-year risk engagement with Aave. The exit caps a 90-day contributor exodus that exposes how fragile DeFi's risk management model has become at $24B+ in TVL.
Circle is shipping Arc, a stablecoin-native L1, with opt-in post-quantum signatures at mainnet — the first major chain to treat lattice cryptography as a launch feature. Here's why institutional allocators are paying attention.
