Hyperbridge Exploit Mints 1 Billion DOT Tokens to Extract $237,000 in ETH

Source: DojiDoji Data Terminal

Liquidity pools on Ethereum lost between $237,000 and $240,000 in ETH after an attacker minted and dumped 1 billion DOT tokens. The attacker used a forged message to change the admin of the Polkadot token contract on Ethereum, gaining administrative rights to the Hyperbridge smart contract. This access allowed the attacker to bypass safeguards and mint 1 billion DOT tokens on the Ethereum network.

Buying a house before 30 is possible — but only if you treat affordability as the foundation, not an afterthought

The average first-time homebuyer in South Africa is now 37 years old, up from 33 just a few years ago. Affordability challenges are the primary reason for the delay in first-time home purchases. Lenders determine home loan eligibility based on take-home income, credit score, employment stability, and size of deposit. Banks typically require that monthly bond repayments do not exceed roughly one-third of a buyer’s net income. A bond pre-approval helps buyers understand their realistic price range and strengthens their position as serious purchasers. Buyers must also plan for upfront costs including transfer duties, attorney fees, and moving expenses, even if a 100% bond is available. Government subsidies like FLISP provide qualifying first-time buyers earning between R3,501 and R22,000 per month with a one-time financial contribution toward a home purchase. Strategic purchase of a first property in high-demand areas like Randburg or Sandton can build equity and enable future upgrades. Purchasing before age 30 is achievable when buyers start with affordability, secure pre-approval, maintain strong credit, and plan for all costs.
