Johnny No Longer Mnemonic
Mike Leigh's film "Naked" (1993) can be seen as a portrait of the underbelly of England during the late Thatcher era. However, if we remove the sociological lens, at the center remains a figure that resonates with crypto culture: a wanderer-scholar who has renounced the state, the institution of registration, and faith in humanity. ForkLog explores why Johnny is not just a misanthrope with a Manchester accent, but an early prototype of a cypherpunk without the internet. A Fugitive Without an Address Johnny appears on screen in a Manchester alley — he steals a car, drives to London, and breaks into his ex-girlfriend's apartment. What follows is two days of wandering the night city, talking to random people, and not a single attempt to settle anywhere. Leigh created a character who has consciously erased himself from the registries. No job, no housing, no documents on screen. Johnny lives outside the state's address book — and this is not mere domestic instability, but a stance. Such behavior is easy to mistake for antisocial tendencies, but it is dictated by the logic of total refusal: from registration, tax residency, and participation in a deal where loyalty is exchanged for state protection. Thirty years later, a similar stance would be taken by digital nomads and self-custody advocates — only instead of a stolen Skoda, they have a wallet with a twelve-word seed phrase. Cypherpunks of the 1990s articulated the same principle: sovereignty begins where mandatory transparency to authority ends. Timothy May in the "Crypto Anarchist Manifesto" (1988) wrote about technology that would "completely change the nature of government regulation, the ability to levy taxes, and control economic interactions." Eric Hughes in the "Cypherpunk Manifesto" (1993) noted that privacy is the right to selectively reveal oneself to the world. Johnny chooses not to reveal himself to anyone, except for random interlocutors he will never see again. The Number of the Beast as a Premonition of Interface Johnny spends half of his screen time talking. His monologue about barcodes, the number 666, the Book of Revelation, and the inevitable collapse of civilization, delivered to a security guard in an empty office building, is typical conspiracy theory rambling from the end of the last millennium. But if we replace "the number of the beast" with "Digital ID", and "chip in the hand" with "KYC-linked wallet," the text stops sounding archaic. Johnny's fear is the fear that a person's identity will be reduced to a set of data. One path is state CBDCs with programmable restrictions: the ECB continues the preparation phase for the digital euro, aiming for a launch in 2029. The other path is public blockchains, where identity is reduced to a key, not a passport. Johnny would be horrified by both, but the second option at least leaves the possibility of not revealing one's real name. Intellectual Squatting The philosopher-cynic Diogenes of Sinope lived in a jar, scoffed at conventions, and asked passersby uncomfortable questions. Johnny occupies others' sofas, stairwells, night offices — and does exactly the same. As mentioned earlier, the security guard in the empty City building listens to his sermon about the end times. A waitress in a cafe hears his musings on the futility of labor. A random woman in a window gets a monologue about printing and control over knowledge. This is intellectual squatting. It's not about seizing territory, but capturing the attention of an interlocutor unprepared for such conversations. The crypto community behaved similarly. Cypherpunks mailing lists, the Bitcointalk forum, early posts by Hal Finney and Nick Szabo — all these were intrusions into academic economics from the position of a street philosopher. By 2026, this intervention had become institutionalized: spot Bitcoin-ETFs in the US, crypto regulation in many countries. A Prophet Without Followers The film's ending is open: a wounded Johnny limps away into an empty London alley. This is perhaps the main divergence from crypto culture — and simultaneously its main critique. Blockchain was invented as a way to record what would otherwise disappear: a transaction, a signature, the existence of a document at a specific moment. An immutable ledger is a technical solution to Johnny's problem. The thoughts he shares with random people, in a world of public blockchains, could remain as a timestamped record, accessible to anyone a hundred years from now. Johnny despises not only the state but the very idea of preserving oneself. His nihilism is deeper than that of any crypto-anarchist: an anarchist wants to build an alternative, Johnny wants to build nothing. The Grimace of the Future The 1993 film predicted not specific technologies, but a type of relationship with the system where the only reliable asset is the ability to disappear from the registry. Bitcoin, private L2, decentralized identifiers, self-custody wallets — these are the technical realizations of this stance. The grimace with which Johnny looks at his interlocutors in the film is not the malice of a marginal figure, but the expression of someone who sees the construct from within and understands that an exit exists. Just not for everyone and not immediately.

Hacker Seizes $15 Million GUA Airdrop
The SUPERFORTUNE project team reported a security breach in which an attacker withdrew 14.98 million GUA tokens (approximately $15 million at the time of the transaction). We are investigating a security incident that occurred for the token, $GUA, through a suspected address poisoning attack on May 27, 2026, which has caused significant volatility on the token. Initial findings indicate an address manipulation through a multisig transaction…— SUPERFORTUNE AI (@SUPERFORTUNE888) May 28, 2026 According to the report, the incident occurred on May 27. The project team explained the situation as an address substitution in a multisig transaction. Developers intended to send tokens to a contract for airdrop payouts. However, the funds were diverted to the hacker's wallet, which matched the original in the first and last four characters. Analysts at EmberCN confirmed that the stolen assets were quickly liquidated. The mass sale of tokens led to a drop in GUA prices by more than 75%. 9 小时前,1498.1 万枚 $GUA (当时价值 $1518 万) 被从解锁合约解锁转出。然后在链上被全部抛售,导致 $GUA 急剧暴跌 75%。这些 $GUA 最终是被换成了 2,784 枚 ETH ( $566 万)存放在下列 3 个钱包:https://t.co/lhXdqFy3jghttps://t.co/aZHNYdraEshttps://t.co/7i0Uwozw0M按项目方的说法是这笔… https://t.co/1qLi0LhAJd pic.twitter.com/rjPjF6FTmv— 余烬 (@EmberCN) May 28, 2026 The attacker allegedly converted the assets into 2,784 ETH (about $5.66 million) and distributed the funds across three new addresses. Initially, it was suspected that the project fell victim to an "address poisoning" attack. However, during a subsequent investigation, the SUPERFORTUNE team deemed this scenario unlikely. “The hacker's address had not previously interacted with the project's infrastructure. Additionally, our internal procedures include multiple stages of credential verification before signing multisig transactions,” project representatives stated. The SUPERFORTUNE team has involved law enforcement and cybersecurity experts to analyze the causes of the incident and trace the movement of the stolen funds. Back on May 22, Polymarket confirmed a private key compromise, resulting in approximately $700,000 in damages.

Grayscale Hails Hyperliquid as a Breakthrough in DeFi
The Hyperliquid platform has emerged as one of the most notable growth stories in DeFi, according to Grayscale Research. In a study titled "Hyperliquid Breaks the Mold," the platform is described as a system that has surpassed the standard protocol, approaching the scale of centralized exchange infrastructure. Grayscale identified three growth drivers: a perpetual futures exchange; its own layer-one network; the HYPE token, with an economy tied to user activity. If growth continues and the regulatory environment remains favorable, Hyperliquid could evolve into a "major financial service," analysts suggest. Hyperliquid is an L1 blockchain with HyperBFT consensus. The HyperCore engine supports on-chain order books for spot and perpetual futures: orders, trades, and liquidations are processed on the network. The stated throughput is about 200,000 operations per second. According to DefiLlama, the cumulative trading volume of perpetual futures on Hyperliquid reached $4.51 trillion. Over the past 30 days, it was $186.54 billion. Source: DeFiLlama. Open interest remains in the range of $9.48 billion–$9.53 billion. TVL is $5.53 billion. At the time of writing, the HYPE token is trading around $56.41. The market capitalization is $12.72 billion, with a fully diluted valuation of $54.65 billion. The asset ranks tenth on CoinMarketCap. Hourly chart of HYPE/USDT on Bybit. Source: TradingView. Grayscale also analyzed the token model. HYPE is not a company share, but its economy is directly linked to the platform's operations. Trading fees are directed to the community through the Assistance Fund. The fund automatically converts part of the fees into HYPE, after which tokens are burned and removed from circulation. Over the past 30 days, Hyperliquid's revenue was $54.23 million, with an annual figure reaching $661.65 million. The report describes the project as a rare example of a DeFi platform achieving the scale of centralized exchanges. Future growth will depend on retaining its audience, executing its strategy, and expanding on-chain financial services. In May, Hyperliquid launched prediction markets.

Researchers Develop Perfect Quantum Randomness Generator
Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich have developed a method for creating mathematically flawless randomness. This technology addresses vulnerabilities in digital systems and cryptography. Modern random number generators often make systematic errors. In cryptography, even the slightest deviation can become a loophole for hacking. The team led by Renato Renner and Andreas Wallraff discovered a way to transform "weak" randomness into completely reliable sequences. For the experiment, the scientists used two superconducting qubits connected by a 30-meter vacuum cable. Chips cooled to near absolute zero provided quantum entanglement. The 30-meter distance ensured no information exchange between particles, even at the speed of light. The essence of the method lies in "randomness amplification." The researchers combined imperfect input data with quantum measurement results and a special algorithm. The result was a sequence of numbers whose randomness can be mathematically verified. The quality of data protection directly depends on the reliability of the random number generator: the higher the randomness, the harder it is to breach the system. The authors compared the result to creating atomic clocks for the data world. In the future, the technology could enhance the security of blockchains, lotteries, and quantum encryption systems. Earlier in May, Australian researchers developed a nanoscale photonic circuit that integrates the generation, routing, and reading of light signals on a single chip.
