ZKsync founder responds to Canton’s doubts: Single point of trust is the systemic risk, ZK proofs are not a hidden danger.

Gate News reported that on March 28, in response to the Canton Network founding team questioning that zero-knowledge proofs are too complex, have potential vulnerabilities, and are difficult to detect, thus unsuitable for institutional-level financial infrastructure, ZKsync founder Alex Gluchowski published a response. Alex Gluchowski pointed out that this logic essentially simplifies the deduction of “technical defects” to “not usable,” ignoring the key design principles of “redundancy and isolation” commonly adopted by critical systems. He stated that Canton relies on trusted operators for data isolation, lacking cryptographic validation and independent verification mechanisms; once a critical node is compromised, erroneous states could silently propagate within the system, creating systemic risk. Alex Gluchowski added that Ethereum, as a representative of open ecosystems, has undergone long-term, high-intensity adversarial testing, and its security is far superior to that of closed systems. He emphasized that the real core issue is not whether vulnerabilities exist, but whether the system has redundancy protection and risk isolation capabilities.

Sui DeFi lending protocol Scallop is hacked, with a vulnerability in the old contract leading to 150k SUI stolen

Scallop was attacked on the Sui chain, and the side contract involved led to the sSUI rewards pool being exploited. Approximately 150k SUI were stolen. The core contract is secure, and deposits and withdrawals have been restored. The official statement applies only to the deprecated rewards contract; users’ funds were not affected. Former NEAR developer Vadim said the vulnerability originated from an outdated V2 package from 17 months ago, where not initializing last_index caused rewards to accumulate starting in 2023. The fix requires adding a version field to the shared object and strengthening version checks to prevent risks caused by outdated packages.
