🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages. The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise. This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now. Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that: • Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime • Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis • Executes decoded shell commands • Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories • Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

Moto’s credit facility covers member transactions through the end of each billing cycle. Deposits continue earning yield throughout. Settlement happens monthly. On the surface, the experience is simple. It is designed to be. Behind it sits the infrastructure that makes that experience possible. At Moto, that layer matters just as much as the interface members interact with. How the credit facility is structured, how settlement is executed, and how risk is managed are not details we leave to chance. Credit Coop is the onchain structured finance protocol behind Moto’s credit and settlement layer. Their system secures credit facilities using programmable collateral and smart contract enforcement, giving the product a foundation built for reliability and precision. In practice, that means the credit facility operates programmatically, settlement is automated, and deposits, spending, and repayment are structured to work together seamlessly. Most financial products treat this layer as invisible plumbing. We do not. The infrastructure behind the product shapes the quality of the product itself. If that layer is not built with the same discipline as everything the member touches, the experience eventually breaks. Visa has highlighted Credit Coop in its institutional research on onchain lending. Moto holds its infrastructure to that standard. As we scale, we look forward to continuing that work with Credit Coop.
