This freeze saga shows how wild west crypto still is. Decentralized or not, exchanges need better risk and user handling.

3. Polymarket Hit by Governance Whale Attack 🐋⚔️

 Polymarket, a prediction market on Ethereum, just got blindsided by a governance whale using UMA tokens to hijack decisions.

🚨Breaking News: A whale holding a huge chunk of UMA tokens took over a key vote and flipped governance in their favor.

⚡Wire Simplified –

• Polymarket uses UMA for governance of dispute resolution.

• A single whale controlled the vote outcome.

• The issue: a dispute around a Trump-related market result.

• UMA devs and the community are now debating reforms.

• This exposes flaws in token-weighted voting systems.

✔️Straight to the Point –
One big wallet can flip decisions. Decentralized? Maybe not. This attack reveals how fragile on-chain governance can be.
