This WordPress crypto widget plugin can leak sensitive information
According to the security firm CVE Program, the “Cryptocurrency Widgets – Price Ticker & Coins List plugin” WordPress widget carries a critical vulnerability from versions 2.0 through 2.6.5.
The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) highlighted that a cryptocurrency widget plugin for the web development platform WordPress contains a vulnerability that can be used to extract sensitive information.
A security bulletin released by the Singapore Cyber Emergency Response Team (SingCERT) alerted against the plugin named “The Cryptocurrency Widgets – Price Ticker & Coins List,” marking it down for critical vulnerabilities.
The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) — the United States government repository of standards-based vulnerability management data — explained that the WordPress crypto plugin is “vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘coinslist’ parameter in versions 2.0 to 2.6.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.” Read More
Wormhole Airdrop: W Tokenomics, Unlock Schedule and Eligibility
Wormhole, a cross-chain protocol, said it's already taken a snapshot of the wallets eligible to claim a share of 1.7 billion $W in the airdrop.
Wormhole, a cross-chain protocol, has announced an airdrop of its W token. The team didn't provide an exact date, but did say in a blog post that a snapshot of eligible wallets has already been taken.
The cross-chain protocol allows users to bridge send messages and assets between different blockchains. It initially linked Ethereum to Solana, but has since expanded to link together almost 30 different networks. Since it launched in late 2020, the company has gone on to close a $225 million funding round in November 2022 that gave it a $2.5 billion valuation.
Unsurprisingly, there are already perpetual futures contracts for W—as is the case for most highly-anticipated token airdrops. But one Twitter user pointed out there are signs that the W airdrop could be even bigger than Jupiter's JUP airdrop on Solana last week. Read More
LFG: Jupiter Reveals Which Tokens It Could Launch Next on Solana
Three projects will have the chance to debut tokens via the Jupiter LFG launchpad—but only if community members approve.
After launching a native token and an independent meme coin, Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator Jupiter announced Wednesday that it may launch at least three other tokens via its launchpad in the near future.
In a characteristically extensive Twitter post, Jupiter’s pseudonymous founder Meow outlined three “OG” Solana projects that seek to launch their own tokens with the aid of Jupiter’s “LFG Launchpad.”
Those projects include Sanctum, a liquid staking service; Sharky, a platform for NFT-backed loans; and deBridge, an infrastructure provider for cross-chain digital asset trading. Read More

How Web 3.0 Is Changing the E-Commerce Industry
Statistically, it’s a clear indicator that the e-commerce industry will gain more attention once Web 3.0 is incorporated into its operations.
By laying the groundwork of permissionless, decentralization and exclusive systems that any business can leverage online, Web 3.0 can turn everything we do online into products.
Although many revolutions are occurring in the Web 3.0 sphere, here are some key ways in which Web 3.0 is transforming e-commerce.
One of the major underlying problems in e-commerce is the unbending rules that make brands solely rely on platforms that regulate sales channels and even customer data before making sales.

Polygon develops open-source prover, allowing Ethereum chains to become ZK layer 2s
A newly developed zkEVM prover is set to allow EVM chains to become zero-knowledge proof-powered layers 2s in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Ethereum scaling protocol Polygon has developed a new Type 1 prover allowing ecosystem chains like optimistic rollups to unlock zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proofs) layer-2 functionality.
Polygon co-founder Brendan Farmer spoke exclusively to Cointelegraph after Polygon announced that its next-generation Polygon zkEVM Type 1 prover will be available as open source to Ethereum ecosystem participants.
Farmer said the development of the technology, which was built with the help of Toposware, was a year in the making and unlocks the ability to generate ZK-proofs for mainnet Ethereum blocks at an average cost of $0.002 to $0.003 per transaction. The Type 1 prover is dual licensed under MIT and Apache 2.0 and will be available on GitHub. Read More
Ethereum Set for Boost as Dencun Upgrade Gets a Date
The anticipated Dencun update will greatly improve the speed and affordability of transactions on Ethereum’s layer-2 networks.
Proto-danksharding is nearly upon us.
After successfully performing a suite of test runs, Ethereum’s core developers announced Thursday that they plan to deploy the network’s landmark Dencun upgrade on or around March 13—finally ushering in a set of tools that could dramatically increase the speed and affordability of Ethereum transactions.
Proto-danksharding, known by the bureaucratic shorthand EIP-4844, is the marquee feature of Ethereum’s upcoming Dencun upgrade. The development, which has been anticipated for years and stalled repeatedly, is a preliminary version of danksharding, a process that will streamline how data is verified on Ethereum’s layer-2 networks. Instead of verifying large swaths of data on Ethereum rollups, danksharding will sample and verify tiny pieces of that information. Read More
