LayerZero has been reported to have used multi-signature wallets to trade Meme coins, and the default library contract upgrade mechanism poses risks

According to market news, LayerZero Labs co-founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino had a heated debate with security researchers today in the ETHSecurity Community Telegram group. The core controversy includes: since LayerZero Labs can immediately upgrade a default library contract without a time limit to forge messages (similar to the case where rsETH was hacked), the LZ OFT, valued at over $3 billion, is recently at risk of being stolen; researcher Banteg pointed out that mainstream projects like Ethena and EtherFi were still using this default library contract weeks ago, and currently, there is still $178 million worth exposed to risk, with these funds coming from projects that are still using the default library.On-chain data shows that LayerZero Labs multi-signature signers participated in non-multi-signature activities such as meme coin trading, DEX exchanges, and cross-chain bridging, which means that the multi-signature keys in the formal environment were connected to websites, increasing phishing risks. Regarding the multi-signature signers of LayerZero using production environment keys for trading activities, Bryan confirmed that the related transactions were completed by members of the multi-signature team, but denied that it was "meme coin trading," explaining it as "testing PEPE on the LZ OFT token standard," and stated that the involved member has been removed. Bryan also suggested that project parties "directly fix configurations" instead of using default configurations to reduce risks. Banteg subsequently tagged a long list of LayerZero users still using the default library contract, pointing out that these projects should migrate to fixed configurations as soon as possible.

Illustration of Bybit's 30 Web3 business partners: from contract exchanges to on-chain financial networks

Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 30 Web3 business partners of Bybit, covering multiple key layers such as institutional custody, stablecoins, blockchain infrastructure, DeFi protocols, and real-world payments. From the funding perspective, partners like Circle, Tether, and Ethena indicate that Bybit has begun to deeply engage in liquidity structures related to stablecoins and RWA. In particular, RWA protocols like Ondo and Backed are essentially helping on-chain funds gradually access U.S. Treasuries, real yield assets, and traditional financial markets. In terms of blockchain infrastructure, its layout covers mainstream networks such as Mantle, Solana, Sui, and TON, while also extending to restaking systems like EigenLayer and Solayer. This means Bybit has started to expand towards on-chain yield and asset issuance layers. In the on-chain liquidity layer, Bybit collaborates with protocols like Aave, Kamino, Raydium, Orca, and Sanctum, using bbSOL to further strengthen its DeFi yield and asset circulation capabilities. What is particularly noteworthy is its infrastructure layout on the institutional side. Bybit has integrated with custody systems such as Fireblocks, Anchorage, Copper, Sygnum Bank, and Cactus Custody, and connected with banks and payment networks like QNB Group, Pave Bank, and Thredd. With institutional funds entering, the biggest competitive point for crypto exchanges has shifted from "matching ability" to "asset security and settlement capability." Especially after the North Korean hacker attack incident, the custody system has become the most critical part of exchange infrastructure. At the same time, Bybit's global branding strategy is also changing. In the past few years, it has made high-profile collaborations with top sports IPs like Oracle Red Bull Racing. In recent years, it has gradually shifted towards high-growth regions like the Middle East, establishing connections with institutions like Dubai DMCC. Its branding logic is transitioning from "traffic exposure" to "regional financial resource binding." Related collection: Bybit Web3 Partner Network Collection (continuously updated) Crypto projects actively showcasing their partner networks have become a key way to enhance transparency and market trust. It is reported that RootData welcomes Web3 projects to claim their information and continues to track and open more project business relationship disclosure channels. The platform has continuously released multiple editions of crypto project ecological maps, nominating Web3 ecological partners for upstream clients like Visa, Mastercard, and Coinbase. If you wish to nominate your project in future ecological maps, please fill out the [RootData 2026 Industry Ecosystem Mapping] form to supplement your important clients and partners.
