However, the Sui team said MovEx violated the contract by initiating three transactions of 625,000 SUI to three wallets. Terminated the partnership agreement.

Astar Network, the leading smart contract platform for multi-chain solutions at Polkadot, has unveiled the Astar 2.0 Vision. Having a strong foothold in the Japanese market, the platform aims to drive mainstream adoption of Web3 technology to billions of individuals and organizations worldwide.
Primer 2.0 represents an important milestone in the evolution of the platform, reflecting a clear long-term direction for leveraging the full potential of Web3. Founder Sota Watanabe highlighted the platform’s commitment to unlocking Web3 for billions of people around the world. The latest update, Primer 2.0, covers various enhancements, starting with the revamp of the token economy and developer tools to ensure sustainable long-term growth of the network.

One of the key advantages of Primer 2.0 is the enhanced functionality of the platform’s native crypto, ASTR.

Immunefi, Trail Of Bits, Solana Foundation launch Rekt test
Immunefi, Trail of Bits, Solana Foundation and other leading players in the Web3 ecosystem have joined forces for a solid security standard. The joint effort was crowned with the “Rekt Test”, a comprehensive core security standard designed to improve the security performance of Web3 projects.
The Rekt Test is a short survey primarily aimed at Web3 projects. But it can be used by anyone interested in assessing the security of projects. Its purpose is to establish a minimal level of security performance that Web3 projects must adhere to. At the same time, providing a safer environment for both users and investors.

According to the announcement, the Rekt Test covers seven critical safety requirements:
- System Documentation and Roles. This clause includes documenting all actors, their roles and privileges.
- Key Management and Access Control. The survey focuses on the implementation of robust key management systems that include the physical step.
- Incident Response and Crisis Management. Projects should have a written and tested incident response plan.
- Team and Personnel Safety. Performing background checks and precise identification of employees, especially those in key roles, helps maintain transparency and trust within the team.
- Code Security and Testing. Compiling code with the latest compiler, defining key literals for the system, and testing them on every commit are essential practices for code security.
- External Audits and Vulnerability Management. Rekt Test emphasizes the importance of implementing external audits and vulnerability disclosure programs or bug bounties.
- Attack Mitigation and User Protection. Projects should consider attack vectors to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. They should also protect users from unintentional abuse within the system.
