‍Blockchain and AI No-Code Tools Poised to Disrupt AWS Dominance The integration of blockchain and AI is driving a new era in application development, with AI-powered no-code tools set to challenge Amazon Web Services (AWS). These tools allow development through simple language prompts, reducing reliance on traditional coding and centralized infrastructure. Lomesh Dutta of the Dfinity Foundation highlights that this democratization of app creation, driven by AI, necessitates secure and tamper-resistant infrastructure. The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) is positioned to provide this, addressing systemic risks associated with centralized cloud reliance in the Web3 sector.
‍$50 Million USDT Lost to Sophisticated Address Poisoning Attack A user has suffered one of the largest on-chain losses of 2025, losing nearly 50 million USDT due to a deceptive address poisoning attack. The victim copied a malicious wallet address from their transaction history, mistaking it for a legitimate recipient. Scammers use address poisoning by sending small amounts to a target, creating similar-looking addresses in the transaction history. Users often only check the first and last few characters, falling victim to the illusion. The attacker quickly swapped USDT for ETH, distributed the funds, and used Tornado Cash to obscure the trail. This incident highlights the ongoing need for meticulous address verification and user education in the face of evolving social engineering tactics.

This outlook sharply contrasts with managing partner Tom Lee's recent public bullishness on Bitcoin reaching $250,000 and Ether's "supercycle" potential. The authenticity of the internal document remains unverified.
