Polygon zkEVM resumes operations after resolving outage
Polygon Labs announced that the zkEVM mainnet beta is back online after experiencing a prolonged outage over the weekend.
MATIC, the native token of Polygon’s Ethereum scaling and infrastructure platform, remained resilient despite the sequencer issue that took the zkEVM beta offline for several hours.
According to updates shared by Polygon on social media, the core zkEVM team applied a fix after the Polygon zkEVM Emergency Council triggered an emergency response. Engineers resolved the problem related to L1 settlement for the zkEVM mainnet beta.
Importantly, the disruption affected only the zkEVM beta. Other ecosystem components, including Polygon PoS and Polygon CDK, were not impacted.
At the time of reporting, MATIC was trading in positive territory over 24 hours, up 4.1%, bringing the token to about $1.04.
Bitbot launches the world’s first non-custodial Telegram trading bot
Crypto trading continues to attract traders looking for access to tools once limited to institutional investors, and Telegram trading bots are becoming a popular gateway.
These custom apps deliver institutional-grade trading functionality directly within Telegram and have gained traction among crypto traders.
Bitbot, a new entrant in this space, has drawn attention by offering what it calls the first non-custodial trading bot on Telegram. The project emphasizes user security and self-custody.
Unlike many other trading bots, Bitbot is designed so users keep control of their private keys. Integration with Knightsafe supports this self-custody model and includes features such as anti-MEV and anti-rug protections to strengthen user security and privacy.
AI-driven trading tools, including automated sniping, enhance Bitbot’s appeal as a top crypto trading bot. Bitbot also offers a revenue-sharing program that distributes a portion of the bot’s daily revenue to BITBOT token holders.
Bitbot gains momentum through its presale
On Monday, Polygon (MATIC) traded in positive territory while major cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum appeared to rebound toward key resistance levels.
BTC and ETH hovered near $67,000 and $3,450 respectively, with bulls likely targeting $70,000 and $4,000 in the coming weeks.
Although prices could fluctuate under different market conditions, the overall sentiment remained bullish heading into the latter part of the year. Bitbot, which aims to lead the Telegram bot market, could ride that favorable trend.
That outlook likely helped accelerate Bitbot’s presale momentum. Now in phase 7, the project has raised over $1.37 million. BITBOT token price rose to $0.0134 and will continue to increase through the remaining presale phases up to phase 15.
With the BITBOT price scheduled to reach $0.02 in the final presale phase, early participants could see notable returns when the non-custodial bot launches publicly.
