Offchain Labs released its Nitro Goerli Testnet for the Arbitrum Rollup. Users and developers can now add the Nitro Goerli Testnet RPC to their MetaMask. The company will also be migrating the Rinkeby testnet to Nitro this month. However, the Nitro Rinkeby Testnet will be spun down at some point in the future as the Ethereum Foundation plans to deprecate the Rinkeby testnet. The Nitro Goerli Testnet will remain the long-term testnet for Arbitrum Rollup, giving developers confidence that the testnet will operate for the foreseeable future. In the coming weeks, Arbitrum will work with infrastructure providers to ensure developers have the tools needed for building on the Nitro Goerli Testnet. The updates bring Arbitrum one step closer to launching Nitro on mainnet.
NFT access list tool premint.xyz suffered a phishing attack resulting in an estimated $400k worth of NFTs being stolen. The company claims a file was manipulated on its official premint.xyz website by an unknown third party. After midnight PT on Sunday, users were being presented with a malicious wallet connection prompt when visiting the website. Users who fell victim for the attack unintentionally signed an “approve all” transaction, sending all their NFTs to the attacker. Premint took down the site after learning of the compromise early morning on Sunday. The attack resulted in the loss of hundreds of NFTs, including 13 Otherdeeds NFTs by BAYC. Premint said they will provide an update after collecting information on the event.
Empiric Network introduced the launch of its decentralized ZK-native oracle network built on Starknet. The project also announced a $7 million seed round led by Variant with participation from Alameda, Gemini, and Jane Street among others. Empiric plans to use the funds toward hiring. An oracle connects smart contracts with off-chain data in the real world, such as price feeds or the temperature in a given city. Most oracles are currently permissioned, rely on trust, and are difficult to audit. Empiric Network hopes to change this by moving oracles on-chain via low-cost zk-powered transactions. Empiric Network will receive proprietary data from exchanges like Gemini and FTX to power its oracles.
