Dear Despace community members,
We have another exciting newsletter this week. This newsletter covers all the important things that happened last week in the crypto space as well as the most recent developments from DeSpace Protocol.

What Happened In The Crypto Market Last Week:
Nomad Bridge Hack
Crypto bridge hacks have become increasingly common, with Nomad the latest bridge to fall. The hackers successfully drained USDC, DAI, WBTC, and CQT tokens from Nomad bridge worth around $190 million.

The Nomad team responded quickly and said they would pay a 10% reward to all who decided to return the tokens to them and not take any legal action against those who sent the tokens back. So far, $22 million has been returned.

Solana Wallet Exploit
Another big hack happened last week, this time affecting Solana users. It is believed that a security breach at Slope wallet allowed hackers to steal thousands of private keys, allowing them to drain affected hot wallets.

The nature of the breach meant that even users who were no longer using Slope and had instead moved to different wallets were still affected. The full scope of the attack is still being investigated.

The crypto market reacted to this news with mixed reactions. The market didn’t see much volatility during the hours of the report release.
