Will RWAs act as a gateway for institutions to finally make their first foray into crypto? What's next for RWAs, and what can we expect in the near future?    Date: Thursday, 28 September 2023 Time: 09:00 AM EDT (UTC -4) [Check your local time]    Tune in for our Virtual Meetup #28, featuring an exciting panel of speakers: Zhong Yang Chan, Head of Research, CoinGecko (Moderator) Sid Powell (CEO & Co-Founder, Maple Finance) Eugene Ng (Co-Founder, OpenEden & DWF Labs) Cassidy Daly (Co-Founder, Centrifuge) SAVE YOUR SEAT TODAY!   While Arbitrum and other new L2's may have been stealing the spotlight for a while, Optimism has been busy at work buidling.

Central Point of Failure Mixin Network experienced an exploit on Sunday, leading to a potential loss of up to $200 million, according to a tweet from the project's team. Mixin Network offers a wallet for cross-chain asset transfers and a decentralized exchange for swapping assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, Dogecoin and more. However, it has faced criticism on Twitter due to its reliance on a centralized database, which introduces a potential single point of failure. CoinDesk  Another Hack The cryptocurrency exchange HTX experienced a hack resulting in the loss of 5,000 ether, valued at $7.9 million, as confirmed by company advisor Justin Sun. Sun emphasized that this stolen amount represents a relatively small portion compared to the $3 billion worth of assets held by HTX users and is approximately equivalent to two weeks' worth of the exchange's revenue. Decrypt  What are DePINs?

Hivemapper rewards drivers for installing dashcams and collecting mapping data, Render allows users to earn by providing excess GPU power, and Helium enables node runners to generate revenue by hosting hotspots, expanding wireless connectivity.
