Paradex has announced that its partner, the Mithril trading bot, was compromised by attackers who accessed approximately 57 user subkeys. According to Foresight News, these subkeys are restricted keys that allow for proxy trading but do not enable withdrawal operations. In response, Paradex has implemented emergency measures, suspending all XP transfers and revoking all subkeys associated with Mithril trading accounts. The affected users are those who connected to the Mithril trading bot. Additionally, Paradex addressed the network outage incident on January 19, stating that it has completed the review of affected accounts and issued refunds to users who were erroneously liquidated, primarily those related to PAXG. A total of $650,000 has been distributed to 200 accounts. The deposit and withdrawal functions for Gigavault have also been restored.

Recently, the cryptocurrency exchange Gate has been continuously advancing its contract points airdrop system. This system combines contract trading with airdrop incentives and platform ecosystem benefits through a points-based mechanism, driving the evolution of its user incentive system towards a long-term value orientation. The Gate contract points system generates accumulative points based on user participation in contract trading, which are periodically used for airdrop distribution. This mechanism emphasizes low barriers to entry and broad participation; ordinary users can earn points and participate in airdrops through daily trading without additional steps, reducing the cost of participation and understanding. Data shows that as of January 20, 2026, the system has run for 67 periods, with 264,000 participating users and a total airdrop reward equivalent to approximately 3.7 million USDT. The highest cumulative return for a single account exceeded 2,600 USDT, providing a quantitative reference for the market to evaluate the actual effectiveness of the mechanism. With the deepening linkage between contract points and the platform token GT, project TGE participation, and various ecosystem airdrop benefits, Gate is driving the evolution of trading incentives towards a more long-term ecosystem participation mechanism, providing a new practical direction for derivatives user incentives.
