2. The Telegram Open Network (TON) stopped verifying new transactions since the evening of August 27, and no new blocks have been generated for more than six hours. The outage was blamed on the frenzy of hype about the newly launched memecoin DOGS.

4. Buterin also responded to criticism that the Ethereum Foundation seemed to lack interest in decentralized finance (DeFi), denying those claims.

Overall, the incidents highlighted cases of fraud in the cryptocurrency industry, network outages, and concerns about foundations’ management of funds.
