The post ChangeNOW x Guarda Case Proof appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Guarda Wallet launched in 2017 as a self-funded, non-custodial Android wallet built from scratch for a single chain. To grow beyond storage, its users needed to swap, buy, and stake inside the app — without Guarda becoming an exchange or building the infrastructure one demands. The team integrated ChangeNOW’s API as its exchange layer, with ChangeNOW acting as the primary provider behind Guarda’s swap coverage: liquidity, routing, and pricing sat with ChangeNOW, while custody stayed in the user’s hands and the swap itself never left the wallet. Guarda now supports 70 major blockchains — most of that network coverage enabled through the ChangeNOW integration — operates in more than 100 countries, and runs across web, desktop, mobile, and a browser extension. ChangeNOW carried the exchange side; the wider product trajectory was Guarda’s own. Storage stopped being a product For most of the last decade, a wallet’s

The post Secret Network Arbitrum Move Driven by AI Security Risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A privacy-focused blockchain abandoning the network it was built on is not something that happens quietly. Secret Network, which has been running privacy-preserving smart contracts on Cosmos since 2020, is now proposing a full migration to Ethereum layer-2 Arbitrum — and the driving force behind the Secret Network Arbitrum move is not just declining liquidity. It is the rising capability of artificial intelligence to crack old, poorly maintained code. Key takeaways Secret Network is proposing to leave Cosmos for Ethereum layer-2 Arbitrum, citing AI-assisted exploit risks and ecosystem liquidity decline. A $4.7 million Axelar-Secret IBC bridge exploit in June underscored the vulnerability of aging infrastructure, though the SCRT token itself was not affected. Cosmos ecosystem TVL has dropped 88% since its 2021 peak to roughly $2 billion; Arbitrum leads all layer-2 networks with $17.4 b
