2026: Proving Decentralization Through Real Usage
๐๐ป https://t.co/qC6sACmBC9
Today, Gossip enters its first real-world testing phase.
In collaboration with @CDTChinese and activists across the world, we are starting to put Gossip in the hands of users who face real privacy and censorship challenges.
Gossip is a privacy-first messaging app built to protect not only message content, but also communication patterns and metadata. No phone number. No email. No personal identity required.
This marks an important milestone for the project and the beginning of a new phase focused on real-world feedback and continuous improvement.
We'll be sharing updates, insights, and progress throughout the testing period. Stay tuned.
Update your plugins on Massa Station
We've just released updates for the Massa Wallet and Local DeWeb Provider plugins.
If you're running a DeWeb provider, please update your server to the latest version.
We also recommend that all users update their plugins in Massa Station to benefit from the latest improvements.
The changes include minor fixes and stability improvements.
Weโre pleased to see Clehance represented on Monday at the Amsterdam Banking Forum organized by The Banking 50 in Amsterdam.
Following our recent collaboration announcement with Clehance, itโs great to see conversations around AI, digital assets, and resilient financial infrastructure continuing across the banking industry.
During the forum, @damipator, CEO & Co-founder of Clehance, will join the panel discussion:
โThe Future Bank: AI, Digital Assets & New Banking Modelsโ
The session will bring together banking and fintech leaders to exchange views on where financial infrastructure is heading and what technologies will support the next generation of banking services.
If youโre attending the Amsterdam Banking Forum, make sure to join the session and connect with the Clehance team.
We are temporarily pausing the Gossip News Flash sessions for a period of time as we run a larger scale live test with activists and active participants.
This setup will allow us to focus on gathering clearer signals and more structured feedback in a controlled environment.
The goal is to better observe what works, refine the format, and improve the overall delivery based on real usage.
Weโll share updates as we move into the next phase.
If you still havenโt updated or restarted your node since the MAIN.5.0 upgrade, make sure to do it to stay synced with the network.
And if you want a simpler way to manage node updates and restarts, Node Manager can handle it in just a few clicks. ๐

Starting in less than 30min.
The Node Manager has been updated and is now available in version 0.4.6.
If you are using Node Manager, you can now update the plugin directly from Massa Station, then restart your node to apply the latest changes and reconnect properly to the network.
NODE UPDATE: MAIN.5.0 is starting now
Mainnet version 5.0 fixes a security bug that we addressed this week end, all node runners are invited to update their nodes quickly.
A detailed report on the issue will be released today.
Thank you for your support!

Incident Resolved - Network Operating Normally
Following the recent incident affecting the reported total supply, we want to share a summary of the situation and the actions taken so far.
The situation has now been resolved, and the blockchain is operating normally again.
The issue was caused by a deferred call refund exploit linked to smart contract management logic.
This vulnerability allowed illegal MAS minting through a specific execution edge case.
The vulnerability was originally identified during an AI-assisted security review conducted by @CertiK, and a fix was already being reviewed internally before the exploit occurred. An attacker later independently rediscovered the same issue and exploited it before the patch was deployed.
Current status:
- The vulnerability has been patched in MAIN.5.0
- Additional minting through this exploit path is no longer possible
- Illegal MAS still held on-chain by the attacker has been removed
- Exchanges including Bitget and MEXC were contacted for coordination and mitigation
- The attacker later contacted the team and returned the USDT obtained from exchange sales
- Additional audits, regression tests, and security reviews are ongoing
We also remind all node runners to ensure they are running MAIN.5.0 to stay synchronized with the network and benefit from the latest security fix.
This incident highlighted how AI-assisted vulnerability discovery significantly shortens the window between bug discovery and active exploitation.
We are already reviewing and improving our emergency response and patch deployment procedures accordingly.

Instagram removing end-to-end encryption is another reminder that centralized platforms always keep the final control.
If they can remove privacy features, they can remove anything.

Weโre excited to showcase what @Malachy36 has been building for the Massa ecosystem: Ctrl Point, a no-code tool that lets anyone create and publish websites on DeWeb in just a few clicks.
Try it here: https://t.co/XWeA6QaP9y
Ctrl Point uses AI to help users generate, edit, and improve websites through a simple chat interface.
You can go from an idea to a live website quickly, without needing technical skills.
Once your website is ready, you can grab a Massa Name System domain and publish it directly on DeWeb in only a few steps.
Building on Massa has never been easier.
Massa Foundation and Ctrl Point welcome feedback, ideas, and bug reports to keep improving the experience and make decentralized website creation accessible to everyone.
Ctrl Point is an experimental product. As always, users should exercise caution when interacting with new tools and applications.
