The cross-chain interoperability platform Relay Protocol has issued a warning, stating that since the launch of the Ethereum Layer 2 network Robinhood Chain based on Arbitrum on July 1, a large number of honeypot scam tokens have emerged. After users purchase these tokens, they automatically disappear from their wallets, and the funds cannot be recovered. Relay Protocol clarified that this is not due to a breach of wallet infrastructure; users' private keys and other assets remain secure, and the malicious logic exists only within the scam token contracts themselves.The typical operation of honeypot tokens allows users to buy in but prevents selling through hard-coded rules, or automatically transfers funds to the attacker's wallet. Some users have reported that a certain token contract uses hidden storage mappings to bypass standard ERC-20 security checks to steal assets.Relay Protocol stated that it is blocking discovered scam tokens and verifying safe tokens, advising users to only trade tokens verified by trusted sources, to verify contract addresses before trading, and to test with small amounts of funds first. The platform pointed out that attracting scammers in the early stages of a new chain launch is not an issue unique to Robinhood Chain; similar situations have occurred with other L1 and L2 chains upon their launch.

According to the official blog, Brave officially released the Basic Attention Token (BAT) roadmap 4.0 on July 9. This update aims to address the new challenges brought by artificial intelligence and a cashless economy, fully integrating BAT, Brave Rewards, and Brave Creators into a transactional attention economy. The core initiatives of the roadmap include the launch of a new unified version of Brave Wallet that integrates traditional payment methods with self-custodied crypto assets, as well as the construction of a privacy payment protocol layer, BravePay, based on stablecoins, thereby providing foundational support for autonomous agent payment features such as x402 and Machine Payment Protocol (MPP) within the browser.In addition, the roadmap also plans several new products to expand the ecological boundaries. Brave plans to launch virtual and physical payment cards for Brave Rewards that support daily consumption and return BAT rewards, while also developing a new creator contribution protocol to ensure that creators receive micro-royalty compensation when their content is utilized by AI products. In terms of token economics, a portion of the net income generated from Brave Wallet's revenue features, payment cards, and the BravePay protocol will be directly used to repurchase BAT to support user rewards and ecological growth. With the advancement of the above new features, Brave will gradually phase out traditional advertising notification units by the end of 2026 and fully shift the user reward mechanism towards personalized offer walls and a new loyalty program.
