NEW ORLEANS, June 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Diasome Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing portal-hepatic targeted therapies for metabolic disease, announced Phase 2b results from OPTI-2, a potentially groundbreaking 25-week, double-blind, randomized controlled trial comparing hepatocyte-directed vesicle insulin lispro (HDV-LIS) with standard insulin lispro (LIS) in 226 adults with type 1 diabetes. In an oral presentation today at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 86th Scientific Sessions, Diasome reported that HDV-LIS maintained glycemic control with an A1C non-inferiority margin of 30% reductions in both Level 2 hypoglycemic events (glucose 15 consecutive minutes) and extended hypoglycemic events (glucose
“Insulin therapy has always had a narrow therapeutic index: tighter glycemic control directly correlates with increased risk of hypoglycemia. This tradeoff continues to be a major challenge for people living with type 1 diabetes,” said Klara Klein, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, and principal investigator in the trial. “In OPTI-2, we see potential to decouple glycemic control from hypoglycemia risk. People randomized to HDV-LIS met similar A1C targets but experienced fewer hypoglycemic events and no severe hypoglycemic events. If confirmed in larger studies, this could allow people living with T1D to achieve glycemic targets with less concern about clinically meaningful hypoglycemia.”
Hypoglycemia Risk in Type 1 Diabetes
Hypoglycemia remains the central dose-limiting barrier in diabetes management. Nearly 2.1 million Americans live with type 1 diabetes.1 Each year, about 20% of adults with type 1 diabetes report at least one severe hypoglycemic event, a rate that persists even among users of the most advanced automated insulin delivery systems.2,3 With standard insulin therapy, tighter glycemic control has been consistently associated with increased hypoglycemia risk—a coupling recognized since the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) in 1993. OPTI-2 may be the first controlled rapid-acting insulin trial to show A1C non-inferiority while simultaneously demonstrating statistically significant reductions in clinically meaningful hypoglycemia.
HDV™-Insulin Lispro
HDV (hepatocyte-directed vesicle) is a phospholipid bilayer bicelle that binds standard insulin lispro and preferentially directs it to hepatocyte receptors, restoring a more physiologic pattern of hepatic insulin exposure. By restoring mealtime liver insulinization, HDV-LIS may improve postprandial glucose disposal and hepatic glycogen storage, potentially reducing the frequency and severity of hypoglycemia.
Study Design
OPTI-2 enrolled 226 adults with type 1 diabetes across 27 U.S. sites and randomized them 1:1 to HDV-LIS or LIS, with unblinded continuous glucose monitoring (Dexcom G7) provided to both groups throughout the study. The trial comprised a 12-week dose optimization period with weekly insulin titration toward intensive glycemic targets, followed by a 13-week maintenance period with stable dosing. The prespecified primary endpoint was a binary composite assessed during dose optimization requiring both A1C non-inferiority and superiority in at least one of three nocturnal CGM-derived hypoglycemia metrics. The design had not been previously used in a blinded insulin trial. Prespecified secondary endpoints assessed the same and additional hypoglycemia metrics during the first and last six weeks of the maintenance period.
Results
A1C non-inferiority was confirmed at Week 12 (HDV-LIS: -0.34% vs. LIS: -0.42%; estimated difference 0.08%; [95% CI: -0.06, 0.21]; p=0.26) and Week 25 (HDV-LIS: -0.31% vs. LIS: -0.38%; estimated difference 0.07%; [95% CI: -0.10, 0.25]; p=0.40), meeting the FDA’s required
At Week 12, 14/15 prespecified CGM hypoglycemia point estimates favored HDV-LIS and met non-inferiority; however, statistically significant superiority was narrowly missed during the 12-week window of active titration. During the maintenance period, the FDA’s preferred time for assessing hypoglycemia data, the HDV-LIS hypoglycemia risk reduction signal strengthened considerably. HDV-LIS produced statistically significant reductions across multiple prespecified secondary endpoints throughout this period:
24-hour Level 2 events: 28% reduction (rate ratio 0.72; p=0.014)Daytime Level 2 hypoglycemic events: 33% reduction (rate ratio 0.67; p=0.009)24-hour percent time below 54 mg/dL: 28% reduction (rate ratio 0.72; p=0.017)Daytime percent time below 54 mg/dL: 32% reduction (rate ratio 0.68; p=0.010)24-hour extended hypoglycemia events: 36% reduction (rate ratio 0.64; p=0.029)
Across the full study, the exposure-adjusted incidence rate of Level 2 hypoglycemia was 25% lower with HDV-LIS than with LIS, and zero HDV-LIS-treated participants experienced a Level 3 severe hypoglycemic event, compared with five in the LIS group (p=0.0598).
Treatment-emergent adverse events were comparable between groups (53.6% HDV-LIS vs. 50.0% LIS). Serious treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in one HDV-LIS participant (0.9%) and eight LIS participants (7.0%). No deaths, diabetic ketoacidosis events, or clinically meaningful hepatic safety signals were observed in either group.
“OPTI-2 demonstrated that HDV-LIS can potentially break the tradeoff between tight glycemic control and hypoglycemia risk, with no severe hypoglycemic events in six months of mealtime dosing and a 25% reduction in Level 2 hypoglycemia across the full study. These results, combined with A1C non-inferiority – the FDA’s preferred endpoint – now demonstrated in two consecutive blinded trials, give us clear support to advance the program into Phase 3,” said Robert Geho, Chief Executive Officer of Diasome. “We also believe the HDV platform has broader potential, with the same liver-targeting approach being explored in metabolic disease and obesity, where targeted hepatic delivery may meaningfully improve clinical outcomes.”
About OPTI-2
OPTI-2 (NCT06238778) was a Phase 2b, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study conducted at 27 sites in the United States. The trial enrolled 226 adults with type 1 diabetes on multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy and randomized participants 1:1 to bolus insulin with HDV-LIS or standard LIS, both with once-daily insulin degludec as basal insulin and continuous glucose monitoring (Dexcom G7) worn throughout the 25-week treatment period. The study included a 12-week dose optimization period with weekly CGM-guided titration, followed by a 13-week dose maintenance period.

Security researcher Taylor Hornby used Claude Opus 4.8 to discover a four-year-old flaw in Zcash’s Orchard privacy pool that could have enabled unlimited counterfeit ZEC creation.
Cybersecurity researchers say frontier AI models are increasingly capable of finding cryptographic and logic flaws that previously required deep specialist expertise.
Experts warn that capabilities approaching today’s most advanced vulnerability-discovery systems could become widely available within months.
A security researcher using Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8 uncovered a critical flaw in Zcash’s Orchard privacy pool in a matter of days, exposing a vulnerability that had survived four years of review by leading zero-knowledge cryptographers.
The disclosure sent ZEC tumbling roughly 38% on Thursday and raised a broader concern for the crypto industry around frontier AI models becoming increasingly proficient in finding vulnerabilities than most humans.
“The significance isn’t really that AI can find bugs,” Ben Goertzel, founder and CEO of SingularityNET, told Decrypt. “It’s that the kind of bug it can now find has changed.”
Rather than simply flagging obvious coding mistakes, frontier models are increasingly capable of reasoning about whether software behaves the way its designers intended, he said.
In May, Taylor Hornby, a security researcher hired by Shielded Labs, discovered a critical flaw in Zcash’s Orchard circuit with assistance from Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8. Hidden in two lines of code, the bug stemmed from a check that appeared to validate transaction inputs but wasn’t actually enforcing the intended rules, potentially allowing an attacker to create counterfeit ZEC inside the shielded pool without detection. Hornby built a working exploit to verify the vulnerability before reporting it to developers. An emergency fix was deployed on June 1.
Adding to the panic that hit Zcash and the broader crypto market on Thursday and Friday is the fact that the flaw had been left undiscovered for over four years.
For Goertzel, the discovery is significant not only because AI found a vulnerability, but also because it points to a new model for security research.
“I think it’s an early marker of a shift that’s going to be hard to overstate,” he said. “The model of security research as a handful of revered human specialists doing slow, artisanal, deeply-expert audits doesn’t go away, but it stops being the whole game.”
Goertzel said the Orchard flaw belongs to a class of subtle logic bugs that frontier AI models are increasingly capable of finding, including smart-contract errors, access-control failures, and situations where software behaves differently than its designers intended. As those capabilities improve, he added that security research is shifting toward a model in which human specialists oversee continuous AI-driven review that can analyze codebases far more extensively than traditional audits.
The Zcash response itself may offer a preview of that future, Goertzel said.
“Shielded Labs bringing on a researcher specifically to hunt protocol-level flaws with a frontier model before a malicious actor could is, I suspect, the template, not the exception,” Goertzel said. “Proactive, AI-augmented, adversarial-by-design review becomes table stakes, and the protocols that don’t adopt it will increasingly be the ones learning about their vulnerabilities from the attacker rather than from a friendly.”
According to Sean Ren, CEO of Sahara AI and a computer science professor at the University of Southern California, advances in AI are also reshaping the balance between attackers and defenders as frontier models can rapidly test attack strategies, learn from the results, and uncover weaknesses.
“In order to build up better defense, we have to use these frontier AI models as the potential attackers to stress test these systems,” Ren told Decrypt.
Ren said blockchain networks are especially exposed because their open-source code can be analyzed directly by frontier AI models, which can rapidly test attack strategies and identify vulnerabilities faster than traditional security reviews.
“If you think about frontier model labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, they have earlier access to the strongest unpublished models and can conduct a lot of experiments on public network systems like blockchains, so they do have the power at hand,” he said. “If someone with malicious intent had access to those capabilities, they could conduct attacks and create vulnerabilities.”
That window may close faster than many expect, and according to Danny Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of cybersecurity firm ThreatLocker, AI-assisted vulnerability discovery is improving faster than many organizations can secure the software they already rely on.
“We have this huge gap that’s going to take years and years to get through,” Jenkins told Decrypt. “All of this software is going to have all of these vulnerabilities, we’re not going to have fixes or updates for it for a long time, and people are going to be able to find those vulnerabilities very quickly.”
Jenkins said AI is not fundamentally changing vulnerability research so much as dramatically accelerating it. Tasks that once required security researchers to review code and reverse engineer software manually can now be performed in seconds by modern models.
“Pre-AI, cybersecurity threats and exploits were increasing every year,” he said. “Post-AI, it’s become even faster, and I think it’s become faster for two reasons. One is that you can now use AI to help find vulnerabilities and exploits, and the number of people who have the ability to do this has massively grown. You don’t have to be a script kiddie now.”
Despite those risks, Goertzel argued that crypto may also be better positioned than other industries to adapt because its code is open, and its communities are highly security-focused.
“Crypto is standing closest to the door, but it’s also the part of the room that can see the door coming,” he said.

Arthur Hayes warned that Hyperliquid’s use of trading fees to burn tokens exposes the protocol to market share losses.
Less than two months after predicting HYPE would hit $150, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes liquidated his entire position.
Despite Hyperliquid securing $3 billion in real-world asset open interest, Hayes anticipates fierce competition from Wall Street.
Hyperliquid has surfaced as crypto’s derivatives darling since it debuted in 2023, but the honeymoon may not last forever, according to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes.
Although the decentralized upstart’s surging popularity has helped spur its native token to recent all-time highs, the outspoken Hayes told Decrypt in an interview that looming competition from Wall Street and established crypto players threatens to erode one of the digital asset’s core drivers.
Hyperliquid relies on a steady stream of trading fees to buy its token off the open market and permanently remove it from circulation—a mechanism designed to bolster scarcity, that Hayes warned, leaves the protocol uniquely exposed to any sudden loss in market share.
“At the end of the day, this is a cash story,” he said. “There will be more competition in real-world asset perps, whether that’s from centralized exchanges like Binance [or] TradFi exchanges.”
Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) emerged as one of Hyperliquid’s biggest cheerleaders as its token rallied to all-time highs.
On Thursday, he said he “dumped” his holdings. These are potential risks he thinks the decentralized upstart could face: pic.twitter.com/ZS5SYl2CIJ
— Decrypt (@DecryptMedia) June 4, 2026
A day after his interview, Hayes informed followers on X that he had “just dumped” his entire stash of HYPE tokens, alongside another digital asset. He cited an expected uptick in energy prices, a string of oxygen-sucking IPOs, and an about-face by President Trump on AI.
“Time to take profit,” he added, less than two months after penning and sharing an essay on why Hyperliquid’s native token “is going to $150 by August 2026.”
HYPE changed hands around $59 on Sunday, a 14% decrease over the past seven days, according to CoinGecko. The asset notched a fresh all-time high above $75 last week. Hayes’ sudden shift rubbed some onlookers the wrong way, but during the interview, he lauded Hyperliquid’s ascent as a venue for trading otherwise illiquid markets on the weekend—especially for oil.
“Perennial crypto haters had to acknowledge that price action and price discovery for these key variables happen over the weekend on a crypto trading platform,” he said. “I think this is a watershed moment, and what caused people to wake up.”
Hyperliquid began supporting derivatives for real-world assets, including gold and silver, via an October upgrade. On Tuesday, the platform’s official X account said that the total value of outstanding positions tied to such markets had reached $3 billion.
So far, the platform has bought back 26.6 million HYPE, while permanently removing 579,603 HYPE from circulation, according to a Dune dashboard. The larger sum represents around $1.56 billion worth of Hyperliquid’s native token at current prices.
Hayes noted that U.S. giants are aggressively pushing into the perpetual futures space. Unlike traditional futures, the derivatives—also known as perps—don’t expire, allowing traders to speculate indefinitely amid periodic payments that keep prices anchored.
Under Hayes, BitMEX debuted the world’s first perpetual futures contract in 2016, a concept established long ago in the early ’90s by Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller. These days, Hayes predicts that Wall Street incumbents will eventually adopt the products to survive.
“All these traditional exchanges are going to be forced to launch a competing product,” he said. “By next year, we’re going to see some decently liquid products in TradFi that use this perpetual swap architecture.”

Largo, FL, June 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SlimTide is a ketogenic support supplement created to help individuals pursuing weight-management goals through nutritional ketosis. The formula features a specialized blend of exogenous ketones designed to complement a low-carbohydrate lifestyle and support metabolic efficiency.
SlimTide: A Complete Consumer Guide
As obesity rates and lifestyle-related health concerns continue to rise worldwide, consumers are increasingly exploring wellness products designed to support healthy weight management. Among the supplements attracting attention in the nutrition and wellness sector is SlimTide Capsules, a metabolism-support formula marketed as a natural aid for individuals seeking long-term weight management support.
Explore Official Know More SlimTide
Health experts note that maintaining a healthy body weight has become increasingly difficult for many adults due to sedentary lifestyles, processed food consumption, chronic stress, inadequate sleep, and demanding work schedules. These factors can contribute to weight gain, reduced energy levels, and challenges in maintaining consistent healthy habits.
Rather than promoting rapid or extreme weight-loss results, SlimTide is positioned as a supplement intended to complement healthy lifestyle practices, including balanced nutrition, regular exercise, hydration, and adequate rest.
Understanding the Role of Metabolism
Metabolism refers to the body’s complex process of converting food into energy required for essential functions such as breathing, circulation, digestion, cellular repair, and physical activity. The efficiency of these metabolic processes can influence how the body utilizes calories and manages energy throughout the day.
According to health professionals, several factors can affect metabolic performance, including age, genetics, muscle mass, hormone levels, sleep quality, stress, and overall physical activity.
A slowdown in metabolic activity may contribute to reduced calorie expenditure, making weight management more challenging for some individuals.
Why Weight Management Remains a Challenge
Experts point to several modern lifestyle factors that may interfere with maintaining a healthy body weight:
Sedentary Habits
Many adults spend significant portions of their day sitting at desks, commuting, or using digital devices. Reduced movement can lower daily calorie expenditure and contribute to gradual weight gain.
Increased Consumption of Processed Foods
Convenient packaged meals, sugary beverages, and highly processed snacks often contain excessive calories while offering limited nutritional value.
Chronic Stress
Research suggests that prolonged stress may influence eating behaviors and contribute to cravings for high-calorie comfort foods. Stress-related hormonal changes may also affect fat storage patterns.
Sleep Deficiency
Insufficient sleep has been linked to appetite regulation challenges, reduced energy levels, and metabolic disruptions that may complicate weight management efforts.
Aging and Muscle Loss
As individuals age, natural declines in muscle mass and metabolic activity can make maintaining a healthy weight increasingly difficult without lifestyle adjustments.
What Is SlimTide?
SlimTide Capsules are marketed as a dietary supplement formulated to support metabolism, energy balance, appetite management, and overall wellness.
The supplement is designed for individuals looking to incorporate additional nutritional support into an existing health-focused routine rather than relying solely on restrictive dieting methods.
Industry analysts note that consumer interest in supplements addressing multiple wellness concerns simultaneously has grown significantly in recent years.
Ingredients Commonly Associated with Metabolic Support
While ingredient formulations may vary, many metabolism-support supplements include compounds that have been studied for their potential role in weight management and energy production.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract is frequently included in wellness supplements due to its antioxidant content and naturally occurring caffeine.
Researchers have investigated green tea compounds for their potential role in supporting metabolism, energy levels, and fat oxidation.
Garcinia Cambogia
Derived from a tropical fruit, Garcinia Cambogia has been widely used in weight-management products. It contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a compound often associated with appetite-support research.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar remains a popular ingredient in health and wellness products due to its potential role in digestive support and appetite awareness.
Chromium
Chromium is a trace mineral involved in nutrient metabolism and blood sugar regulation. Some studies suggest it may assist with maintaining healthy carbohydrate metabolism.
L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine plays a role in transporting fatty acids into cells where they can be used for energy production. It is commonly included in sports nutrition and weight-management supplements.
Dietary Fiber
Fiber is recognized for its importance in digestive health and satiety, helping individuals feel fuller for longer periods.
Lifestyle Factors Remain Essential
Nutrition professionals emphasize that supplements alone are unlikely to produce meaningful or lasting weight-management results without healthy lifestyle habits.
Experts recommend focusing on:
Balanced Nutrition
A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats can support metabolic health and overall wellness.
Regular Physical Activity
Activities such as walking, strength training, cycling, swimming, and yoga can help increase calorie expenditure and preserve muscle mass.
Hydration
Proper water intake supports digestion, nutrient transport, and energy production while potentially reducing unnecessary snacking linked to thirst.
Sleep Optimization
Quality sleep remains one of the most important factors in maintaining energy balance and supporting healthy metabolism.
Stress Management
Mindfulness practices, exercise, relaxation techniques, and structured routines may help individuals maintain healthier eating and lifestyle habits.
Potential Benefits Reported by Users
Consumers interested in SlimTide often seek support in several wellness areas, including:
Improved energy levelsBetter adherence to healthy routinesAppetite managementDigestive comfortMetabolic supportLong-term weight management assistance
Health professionals caution that individual results may vary significantly depending on diet, exercise habits, age, genetics, and overall health status.
The Importance of Realistic Expectations
Nutrition experts continue to stress that sustainable weight management typically occurs gradually rather than through rapid transformations.
Long-term success is often associated with consistent lifestyle habits, realistic goal setting, and ongoing behavioral changes rather than short-term restrictive approaches.
Supplements such as SlimTide are generally intended to support broader wellness efforts rather than replace healthy eating patterns and physical activity.
Consumer Interest in Natural Wellness Solutions Continues to Grow
The popularity of metabolism-support supplements reflects a broader trend toward holistic wellness strategies. Consumers increasingly seek products that align with sustainable health practices and support overall well-being rather than focusing exclusively on weight loss.
Industry observers suggest that products emphasizing balanced energy, metabolism support, appetite awareness, and healthy lifestyle integration may continue gaining traction as consumers prioritize long-term health outcomes.
Final Outlook
As interest in natural wellness and weight-management solutions grows, supplements such as SlimTide are becoming part of a broader conversation about sustainable health habits and metabolic support.
While supplements may offer additional support for some individuals, healthcare professionals continue to emphasize that balanced nutrition, regular exercise, quality sleep, stress management, and consistency remain the foundation of successful long-term wellness and healthy weight management.
Consumers considering any dietary supplement are encouraged to review product information carefully and consult qualified healthcare professionals before beginning a new wellness regimen, particularly if they have existing medical conditions or take prescription medications.
Core Mechanism
At the center of SlimTide’s formula is an 800 mg ketone complex containing Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) salts. These compounds are intended to increase ketone availability in the body, providing an alternative fuel source when carbohydrate intake is reduced.
Manufacturing Standards
SlimTide is manufactured in the United States in an FDA-registered facility that follows established quality-control procedures. The product is promoted as GMO-free and produced using carefully selected ingredients.

Usage Instructions
The suggested serving size is two capsules per day taken with a full glass of water. For best results, users are encouraged to combine SlimTide with a ketogenic nutrition plan emphasizing healthy fats, moderate protein intake, and minimal carbohydrates.
Official Access
To ensure authenticity, quality assurance, and access to customer support, consumers should obtain SlimTide only from authorized purchasing channels.
Is SlimTide a Scam or Legit?
One of the most frequently searched questions about SlimTide is whether the supplement is a scam or a legitimate weight-management product. The answer requires a careful evaluation of the product’s ingredients, claims, transparency, and intended purpose.
Based on the available information, SlimTide appears to be a legitimate dietary supplement that utilizes Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) ketone salts, ingredients commonly found in ketogenic support products. BHB is a well-known exogenous ketone that has been studied for its ability to increase blood ketone levels and provide an alternative source of energy during carbohydrate restriction.
However, legitimacy does not automatically guarantee effectiveness for every user. Consumers should understand the difference between a legitimate supplement and exaggerated marketing claims. While BHB supplements have scientific support for increasing ketone availability, there is limited evidence suggesting that ketone supplements alone produce dramatic or effortless weight loss without dietary and lifestyle changes.
A key factor in evaluating SlimTide is transparency. Legitimate supplement companies typically provide ingredient information, dosage guidelines, safety recommendations, and customer support resources. Consumers should carefully review the product label, usage instructions, and company policies before making a purchase.
Another important consideration is marketing language. If advertisements promise rapid fat loss, overnight transformations, or guaranteed results, those claims should be approached with caution. Sustainable weight management generally requires a combination of balanced nutrition, physical activity, consistency, and healthy lifestyle habits.
Consumers should also be aware of counterfeit products and unauthorized sellers. Purchasing supplements from unofficial sources may increase the risk of receiving altered, expired, or counterfeit products. Verifying the authenticity of the seller and reviewing return policies can help reduce these risks.
When evaluating customer reviews, it is helpful to look for feedback across multiple independent platforms rather than relying solely on testimonials featured in promotional materials. Individual experiences can vary significantly based on factors such as metabolism, diet, activity level, and overall health status.
Red Flags to Watch For
Before purchasing SlimTide or any dietary supplement, consider the following warning signs:
Claims of effortless or guaranteed weight lossUnrealistic before-and-after photosFake celebrity endorsementsHidden subscription or auto-renewal programsMissing ingredient informationLack of customer service contact detailsNo clear refund or return policy
Signs of a Legitimate Supplement
Features commonly associated with reputable dietary supplements include:
Based on the available ingredient information and intended use, SlimTide does not appear to be an obvious scam. It contains commonly used ketogenic support ingredients and follows the general structure of many exogenous ketone supplements currently available in the marketplace.
That said, consumers should maintain realistic expectations. SlimTide is not a miracle weight-loss solution, and no supplement can replace the benefits of healthy eating, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and long-term lifestyle improvements.
The most balanced conclusion is that SlimTide appears to be a legitimate dietary supplement designed to support ketogenic lifestyles, but its effectiveness will vary among individuals and should be viewed as one component of a broader health and wellness strategy.
Scientific Evidence and Ingredient Efficacy
Ketone Foundation
SlimTide contains three forms of Beta-Hydroxybutyrate salts: Magnesium BHB, Calcium BHB, and Sodium BHB. These ketone compounds are commonly used in ketogenic supplements because they can help elevate circulating ketone levels.
Metabolic Support
By supplying exogenous ketones, SlimTide may assist the body in adapting to carbohydrate restriction. These ketones can serve as a supplemental energy source for both physical and cognitive activities.
Electrolyte Balance
Ketogenic diets can affect electrolyte status due to changes in fluid balance. The mineral-bound ketones found in SlimTide provide sodium, calcium, and magnesium alongside BHB, potentially supporting electrolyte maintenance.
SlimTide Transparency and Consumer Safety
Label Transparency
SlimTide provides ingredient information directly on its product label, allowing consumers to understand the contents of the formula before use.
No Artificial Additives
The formula is marketed as free from artificial stimulants and focuses on ketone-based nutritional support rather than stimulant-driven energy enhancement.
Allergen Information
Consumers should carefully review the complete ingredient list, especially if they have known sensitivities to capsule materials or manufacturing additives.
Medical Disclaimer
SlimTide is intended as a dietary supplement and should not be considered a treatment, cure, or preventive measure for any medical condition. Professional medical advice is recommended before beginning any supplement regimen.
Safety Seal
Always inspect product packaging before use. Any package showing signs of tampering or a broken safety seal should not be consumed.
Storage Requirements
Store SlimTide in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, humidity, and excessive temperatures to help maintain product quality.
SlimTide Marketplace Risks and Consumer Guidance
Unauthorized Sellers
The popularity of ketogenic supplements has led to an increase in unauthorized online listings. Consumers should exercise caution when purchasing products from unverified third-party sellers.
Fake Endorsements
Be cautious of marketing campaigns that use unrealistic testimonials, fabricated celebrity endorsements, or heavily edited transformation photos. Reliable information should come from transparent product disclosures and credible research.
Verification
Purchasing from verified sources can help ensure product authenticity and reduce the risk of receiving counterfeit or altered supplements.
SlimTide Usage Timeline and Expectations
Initial Phase (Weeks 1-4)
During the first month, some users may notice changes in energy levels, appetite control, or adaptation to a ketogenic eating pattern as the body becomes more accustomed to utilizing ketones.
Long-Term Phase (Weeks 4-12+)
Longer-term outcomes depend on consistency, dietary adherence, physical activity, and individual metabolic factors. Sustainable results generally require ongoing commitment to healthy lifestyle habits.
Final Recommendations
Consultation
Before incorporating SlimTide into your wellness routine, consult a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you have existing health conditions or use prescription medications.
Consistency
Following the recommended serving guidelines consistently may help users experience the intended benefits of the formula.
Vigilance
Remain cautious when purchasing dietary supplements online and verify product authenticity before completing any transaction.
The Rise of SlimTide and Why Consumers Need This Warning
Interest in ketogenic supplements continues to grow as more individuals seek alternatives to traditional weight-management strategies. SlimTide has emerged as a product designed to support ketosis and metabolic wellness. However, growing demand often attracts counterfeit sellers and misleading marketing practices, making consumer awareness more important than ever.
Understanding SlimTide: Formula, Ingredients, and Intended Purpose
SlimTide is formulated around an advanced BHB ketone complex intended to support ketosis, energy production, and metabolic adaptation. Rather than functioning as a standalone solution, the supplement is designed to complement a comprehensive health and nutrition strategy.
The SlimTide Ingredient Profile
Magnesium Beta Hydroxybutyrate
What it is: A combination of Beta-Hydroxybutyrate and magnesium.
The Science: This ingredient provides exogenous ketones while supplying magnesium, an essential mineral involved in muscle function, energy production, and nervous system support.
Evidence Quality: Strong. Research consistently demonstrates that exogenous ketones can temporarily increase ketone concentrations in the bloodstream.
Calcium Beta Hydroxybutyrate
What it is: A BHB compound bound to calcium.
The Science: Calcium BHB contributes to ketone availability while also supplying calcium, a mineral important for bone strength and muscle contraction.
Evidence Quality: Moderate to Strong. Scientific literature supports the role of BHB salts in ketogenic supplementation.
Sodium Beta Hydroxybutyrate
What it is: A sodium-bound form of Beta-Hydroxybutyrate.
The Science: Sodium BHB delivers ketones while supporting electrolyte balance, an important consideration for individuals following carbohydrate-restricted diets.
Evidence Quality: Moderate to Strong. Widely utilized in exogenous ketone formulations to support ketosis and hydration balance.
The Science of Exogenous Ketones and SlimTide
The foundation of SlimTide is built around exogenous ketones, specifically Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) salts. To understand how the supplement is intended to function, it is helpful to first understand the role ketones play in human metabolism.
Under normal dietary conditions, carbohydrates serve as the body’s primary energy source. When carbohydrate intake is significantly reduced, the body begins converting stored fat into molecules known as ketone bodies. This metabolic state is called ketosis. During ketosis, ketones can be used as an alternative fuel source by the brain, muscles, and other tissues.
SlimTide contains exogenous ketones, which are supplemental ketones consumed from an external source rather than produced naturally by the body. These ketones are designed to temporarily increase circulating ketone levels and provide additional fuel during periods of carbohydrate restriction.
The formula utilizes a combination of Magnesium Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, Calcium Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, and Sodium Beta-Hydroxybutyrate. These mineral-bound ketones are commonly used in ketogenic supplements because they offer stability, absorption support, and additional electrolyte benefits.
One challenge often experienced during ketogenic dieting is the loss of key electrolytes through increased fluid excretion. Sodium, calcium, and magnesium levels may fluctuate as the body adapts to carbohydrate restriction. By combining BHB with these essential minerals, SlimTide aims to provide both ketone support and electrolyte replenishment.
Scientific research has shown that exogenous ketones can elevate blood ketone concentrations relatively quickly after consumption. Some studies suggest that ketone supplementation may help support cognitive performance, exercise endurance, and energy availability under certain conditions. However, research regarding long-term weight loss outcomes remains ongoing.
It is important to recognize that exogenous ketones do not replace healthy nutrition. While supplements such as SlimTide may complement a ketogenic lifestyle, sustained weight management typically depends on overall dietary habits, physical activity levels, sleep quality, and calorie balance.
For individuals following a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic eating plan, SlimTide is designed to function as a supportive nutritional tool rather than a standalone solution.
Evaluating the Claims: Does SlimTide Work?
One of the most common questions consumers ask is whether Slim Tide actually delivers meaningful results. The answer depends on understanding what the supplement is designed to do and what it is not intended to accomplish.
The primary mechanism behind Slim Tide involves supplying exogenous ketones to the body. Research supports the ability of BHB salts to increase blood ketone levels temporarily. This may help provide an alternative source of energy, particularly during periods of reduced carbohydrate intake.
Some users report experiencing benefits such as:
Increased daily energy levelsImproved adherence to ketogenic dietsReduced cravings for carbohydratesEnhanced focus and mental clarityBetter support during ketogenic adaptation
These reported effects are generally consistent with the known physiological role of ketones as an alternative energy source.
However, it is important to separate ketone supplementation from direct fat loss. Simply consuming ketones does not automatically cause the body to burn stored body fat. Sustainable weight reduction typically requires a combination of healthy eating habits, physical activity, and long-term consistency.
SlimTide may support individuals who are already committed to a ketogenic lifestyle by helping them maintain ketone availability and potentially easing the transition into ketosis. However, consumers should be cautious of unrealistic marketing claims that promise dramatic or effortless weight loss.
Like all dietary supplements, individual results may vary based on factors including:
Current body compositionMetabolic healthDietary adherenceExercise habitsAge and lifestyle factorsConsistency of use
When viewed realistically, SlimTide may serve as a supportive component within a comprehensive health and wellness plan rather than a miracle solution.

Frontier AI models are increasingly being used to identify software vulnerabilities.
Claude Mythos, Claude Opus, GPT-5.5, and other systems have been deployed in vulnerability research across browsers, operating systems, and open-source software.
The technology is beginning to influence crypto and DeFi security, where Claude Opus 4.8 was cited in research that uncovered a critical Zcash vulnerability.
The latest generation of frontier AI models are no longer just chatting with users, generating images, or writing code. Researchers are increasingly using systems such as Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and Claude Opus 4.8 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 to identify software vulnerabilities, raising concerns about what happens when those capabilities become widely available.
Crypto investors got a wake-up call about the rising threat from powerful AI this week when Zcash developers disclosed that Claude Opus 4.8 helped discover a critical vulnerability that could’ve enabled an attacker to mint unlimited ZEC. Due to the network’s design, there’s no current way to know for sure whether counterfeit ZEC was, in fact, minted—and that uncertainty led to the price of ZEC crashing late this week.
Experts warn that many more vulnerabilities could be found in the coming weeks and months as AI software gets more capable—and those tools become more accessible. Here’s a look at the growing threat, and how it’s already impacted the crypto world.
Early AI models were professionally used as coding assistants, helping developers write, explain, and debug software. As the technology improved, researchers began using the same systems for code review, software auditing, and vulnerability research.
The transition from coding assistant to security tool coincided with a broader shift in how AI was being used inside software development. After the launch of Claude Code in 2025, Anthropic reported a sharp increase in AI-generated code across its engineering teams, reflecting a move from models that suggested code to systems capable of writing and running it.
Security professionals say the implications extend beyond helping developers write code.
“AI is far better at reviewing code than most people and finding potential vulnerabilities in it,” Danny Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of ThreatLocker, told Decrypt. Jenkins said current AI systems are already accelerating vulnerability discovery, while newer models such as Mythos could significantly expand those capabilities, calling it an imminent “big problem.”
“It will be only a matter of time until someone bad gets access to it,” he said.
According to Jenkins, AI is also lowering the barriers to entry for vulnerability research, allowing more people to analyze code, identify weaknesses, and develop exploits. As access to increasingly capable systems expands, he expects the pace of vulnerability discovery to increase.
“Pre-AI, cybersecurity threats and exploits were increasing every year,” he said. “Post-AI, it’s become even faster, and I think it’s become faster for two reasons. One is that you can now use AI to help find vulnerabilities and exploits, and the number of people who have the ability to do this has massively grown. You don’t have to be a script kiddie now.”
As AI systems became more capable, companies began applying them to cybersecurity. On Tuesday, Anthropic expanded access to Project Glasswing, giving 150 companies and institutions access to Claude Mythos to help identify and remediate software vulnerabilities before the model is released more broadly.
In April, Mozilla later disclosed that Anthropic’s models helped identify hundreds of vulnerabilities that it fixed in the Firefox web browser, while researchers at Calif used Mythos Preview during work that produced one of the first public exploits targeting Apple’s M5 chips.
Stanislav Fort, a former researcher at Google DeepMind and Anthropic and now founder and chief scientist of security firm Aisle, said concerns about AI-powered vulnerability discovery are valid, but often misunderstood.
“The naive response is to try to gatekeep access to powerful models. I think this is essentially security by obscurity, and security by obscurity is one of the worst ideas in the field,” Fort told Decrypt. “The capability for zero-day discovery is already widely distributed across models that no one can restrict. Trying to bottle it up at the frontier doesn’t eliminate the risk; it just delays it while also slowing down the defenders who need these tools most.”
Fort said the greater risk is that defenders, particularly open-source maintainers, may lack access to the same advanced AI tools available to attackers.
“That imbalance is the real danger,” he said. “The answer isn’t restriction; it’s democratization of the defensive stack.”
Anthropic is not alone in pushing AI models aimed at cybersecurity. In May, Microsoft introduced MDASH, an agentic vulnerability discovery system that the company said helped identify previously unknown Windows vulnerabilities.
The risk to crypto
Crypto and DeFi are starting to feel the impact of AI-powered bug hunting. Blockchain projects have always been attractive targets because there is a lot of money at stake and much of the code is publicly available. Jenkins said as AI gets better at finding software flaws, open-source crypto projects could become easier targets for both security researchers looking for bugs and attackers looking to exploit them.
In one of the clearest examples of how advanced AI models can help researchers uncover vulnerabilities that had survived years of human review, independent security researcher Taylor Hornby disclosed the critical vulnerability in Zcash’s Orchard privacy pool that he discovered with the assistance of Claude Opus 4.8.
The flaw could have allowed an attacker to create unlimited counterfeit ZEC, and had gone undetected for years before being patched. Whether the exploit was actually used currently remains unknown.
“The vulnerability was present from Orchard’s activation in May 2022 until the emergency fix was deployed on June 1, 2026,” Shielded Labs, the organization behind Zcash development, wrote in a disclosure post. “Due to the privacy properties of Orchard and the nature of the bug, there is no definitive way to determine, using only cryptography, whether such exploitation occurred.”
The attack comes as DeFi protocols are already facing one of their worst years for exploits. More than $840 million was stolen from DeFi projects in the first five months of 2026, including more than $600 million in April alone across attacks on projects including KelpDAO, and Drift Protocol.
The rise of so-called ‘vibe hacking,’ where attackers use AI coding agents to automate reconnaissance, credential theft, malware development, and other tasks, has raised concerns that AI is lowering the barriers to carrying out sophisticated cyberattacks
According to Natalie Newson, senior blockchain investigator at Web3 security platform CertiK, while April was unusually severe for crypto exploits, the broader trend remains more stable and below the peak number of incidents seen in past years.
“April 2026 was a bad month for crypto exploits; there were only three days without an exploit in which at least $10,000 was taken,” she said. “However, when we take a look at the wider picture, the number of incidents (excluding phishing) has arguably been fairly consistent and still lower than a peak in 2023.”
While AI is making DeFi exploits easier to carry out, according to Blockaid CTO Raz Niv, the bigger risk is not AI replacing hackers but amplifying them, allowing attackers to focus on more sophisticated techniques while AI handles routine tasks.
“The good news is defenders can use the same tools,” he said. “AI-assisted monitoring and simulation is becoming essential for security teams trying to keep pace.”

Microsoft researchers found that Anthropic’s Claude Code GitHub Action could be manipulated through prompt injection attacks.
The attack relied on malicious instructions hidden in GitHub issues, pull requests, or comments that the AI agent was asked to review.
Anthropic patched the vulnerability in May after Microsoft disclosed the issue through HackerOne.
Microsoft researchers disclosed a now-patched vulnerability in Anthropic’s Claude Code GitHub Action that could have allowed attackers to expose credentials stored in software development pipelines by manipulating the AI agent through malicious GitHub content.
In a blog post on Friday, Microsoft warned that AI coding agents running inside CI/CD workflows may create new security risks because those environments often have access to API keys, cloud credentials, and other sensitive information.
“We began this research after observing prompt injection attempts in public repositories using AI-assisted GitHub workflows across multiple vendors, where attacker-controlled issue or [pull requests], content is processed by the AI agent and could influence its tool use,” Microsoft wrote.
On GitHub, a pull request allows developers to propose changes to a code repository and have those changes reviewed before they are approved and merged.
The report comes as prompt injection attacks have emerged as one of the biggest security threats facing AI agents. In a prompt injection attack, an attacker hides instructions in content such as emails, documents, websites, or code comments, causing an AI system to follow those instructions instead of the user’s.
Launched in October, Claude Code is Anthropic’s AI coding agent for software development tasks. The tool drew scrutiny in March after Anthropic accidentally leaked more than 500,000 lines of its source code, exposing details of its internal architecture and prompting widespread analysis by researchers and developers.
According to Microsoft, attackers could use prompt injection attacks hidden in GitHub issues, pull requests, or comments to manipulate Claude Code into accessing files containing sensitive credentials.
To test the vulnerability, Microsoft created a GitHub workflow and disguised malicious instructions behind content hosted on a domain it controlled, allowing the researchers to bypass Claude’s safety protections. The prompt injection attack tricked Claude into reading sensitive credentials and altering them to evade both Claude’s safeguards and GitHub’s secret-scanning tools. Microsoft said an attacker could then reconstruct the credential and exfiltrate it through issue comments, workflow logs, web requests, or shell commands.
“To bypass Sonnet’s refusal safety mechanisms, we obscured the shell payload behind a response from our controlled domain,” the firm said. “We also enabled the workflow to be triggered by users with no ‘write’ permissions to ensure Anthropic’s environment variables scrub mitigations were active during our tests.”
Anthropic patched the flaw on May 5 with Claude Code version 2.1.128 after Microsoft disclosed the vulnerability through HackerOne on April 29.
Despite multiple layers of built-in security controls, Microsoft found that a determined attacker could potentially manipulate an AI agent into exposing sensitive information.
“We are entering an era where natural language is executable code, and untrusted inputs like GitHub issues must be treated as hostile by default,” it said. “A single, carefully crafted comment combined with a misunderstood trust boundary is all it takes to walk away with production credentials.”

Shenzhen, June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SHARE3DCAM, a developer of professional SLAM LiDAR scanning solutions, today announced the release of SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.5.0, featuring a comprehensive AI Engine Algorithm Upgrade targeting the complete workflow from spatial capture to professional project deliverables.
The release addresses a challenge that has become central to the architecture, engineering, construction, and renovation industries: as 3D scanning has become faster and more accessible, the bottleneck has shifted from capturing spaces to making captured data usable. SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.5.0 is designed to close that gap — connecting SLAM LiDAR scan data with the downstream workflows that design, documentation, and construction delivery actually require.
The Workflow Problem This Solves
In renovation and construction environments, measurement accuracy is foundational. Design proposals, cost estimates, material quantities, and construction coordination all depend on reliable site data. Traditional measurement workflows — tape measures, manual notes, hand-drafted floor plans — are slow, error-prone, and difficult to verify after the fact.
SLAM LiDAR scanning has made site capture faster and more comprehensive. But until recently, the point cloud data produced by these devices has remained difficult to integrate directly into design and construction workflows without significant manual processing. Teams export data, import it into third-party software, draft from scratch, and cross-reference repeatedly — a process that reintroduces many of the inefficiencies that scanning was supposed to eliminate.
SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.5.0 and the AI Engine Algorithm Upgrade address this by processing, filtering, and transforming scan data into outputs that can move directly into design, client communication, and project handover — without leaving the SHARE3DCAM ecosystem.
AI-Assisted CAD Draft Generation
The most significant new capability in this software upgrade is AI-assisted CAD draft generation from point clouds within SHARE PointClouds Studio. The system uses trained AI models to automatically identify structural elements within captured point cloud data — walls, openings, columns, and spatial boundaries — and generate floor plans and section drawings based on real site geometry. These drawings can be exported as DWG files with point cloud underlays, allowing architects, designers, and surveyors to open them directly in AutoCAD or compatible CAD tools for refinement and further development.
The practical effect is a meaningful reduction in manual drafting workload. Rather than drawing from scratch based on field measurements and notes, professionals work from a baseline that already reflects real site conditions. For renovation projects — where design, pricing, contractor briefing, and construction coordination all depend on measurement accuracy — this reduces both the time required to produce usable drawings and the risk of errors introduced by gaps in manual data collection.The capability also reduces return site visits. When the point cloud serves as a persistent, editable reference layer within the CAD environment, questions that would previously have required going back to site can often be resolved by re-examining the captured data.
Proprietary 3D Gaussian Splatting for Spatial Communication
SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.5.0 introduces proprietary 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) technology, one of the more significant advances in spatial data visualization in recent years.
3D Gaussian Splatting generates representations that feel continuous and spatially intuitive, closer in character to how a person would experience standing in the space itself. For renovation and construction projects, this improves communication between technical and non-technical team members: clients can more clearly understand spatial layouts, structural relationships, and design intent; contractors can better visualize conditions before mobilizing; project owners can review progress against documented site conditions.
What distinguishes SHARE3DCAM’s 3DGS implementation is multi-source data fusion. Most Gaussian Splatting approaches rely primarily on image-based reconstruction, which can produce unstable or geometrically inaccurate results in low-texture environments — precisely the conditions most common in renovation and construction settings, including unpainted concrete, plain plaster walls, and uniformly finished interior surfaces.
By combining LiDAR geometry with visual image data, SHARE3DCAM’s implementation maintains structural accuracy in these environments, producing Gaussian models with more reliable geometry and more stable spatial relationships — suitable for professional documentation, stakeholder alignmen, and client presentation.
Point Cloud Processing: Built for Real Job Sites
Construction and renovation environments present consistent challenges for spatial data capture: low and uneven lighting, highly reflective surfaces, active personnel, and complex geometry. The AI Engine Algorithm Upgrade includes targeted improvements across each of these conditions.
A new colorization algorithm improves the accuracy of image-to-point-cloud color mapping, leveraging the large CMOS sensors in SHARE3DCAM’s scanner hardware to produce more natural color representation in low-light environments including basements, underground parking structures, and interior spaces without natural lighting.
An upgraded intelligent filtering algorithm can optimize point cloud thickness to 5 mm in applicable scenarios, reducing data volume and noise while preserving geometric detail relevant to measurement and documentation. For reflective materials — glass facades, polished floors, metal surfaces, mirrored finishes — the algorithm identifies and helps reduce false geometry that standard processing approaches often retain, improving measurement reliability for spaces where these materials are common.
A proprietary neural network AI model enables dynamic object removal and figure segmentation. When site personnel or equipment are present during scanning, the system can extract usable spatial data without needing to fully clear the space — a practical operational benefit on active construction sites where repeated clearing causes delays and disrupts ongoing work.
Hardware Ecosystem: Scanners Designed for Every Scale
SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.5.0 is designed to work natively with SHARE3DCAM’s SLAM scanner lineup, forming an integrated workflow from site capture through to deliverable output.
The SHARE C1 offers professional spatial capture capability in a more compact and flexible form factor, suited to professionals who need to deploy quickly across multiple site types or work in constrained environments.
The SHARE SLAM S20 is engineered for seamless data capture in renovation, architectural measurement, and complex AEC workflows. Its compact and portable design is optimized for navigating intricate or occupied environments, making it the primary tool for professionals operating across diverse residential and commercial projects.
For larger-scale requirements — engineering surveys, industrial facility inspection, complex infrastructure, and large outdoor environments — the SHARE SLAM S100 Series is designed to handle higher data volumes, longer range capture, and more demanding operational conditions.
Together, the hardware lineup and SHARE PointClouds Studio 2.5 form a complete spatial data ecosystem: capture on site, process and output in software, deliver to client.
Beyond the Scan
“Capturing spaces is no longer the challenge — making that data usable is,” said Enzo Fan, CEO of SHARE3DCAM. “Every project team that scans a space should be able to take that data directly into their design, coordination, and delivery workflow. The AI Engine Algorithm Upgrade is about closing the distance between the scan and the deliverable — and making sure that distance keeps shrinking with every release.”
Availability
SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.5.0 is available now through SHARE3DCAM’s official channels.
SHARE PointClouds Studio is offered as free desktop software with no subscription fees, time limits, or licensing costs. Professionals can access the full feature set — including the AI Engine Algorithm Upgrade capabilities introduced in version 2.5 — at no charge, permanently.

Choosing the best Gold IRA company is not just about finding the firm with the best advertisement, celebrity endorsement, or “free gold” promotion. A Gold IRA involves retirement money, physical precious metals, IRS rules, custodians, storage arrangements, dealer markups, and long-term liquidity. That means the company you choose can directly affect your costs, compliance, and overall investment experience.
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2026 / IRAEmpire has released a detailed guide on identifying the best gold IRA company for an investor. It aims to safeguard consumer interests and raise awareness against misconceptions.
View the Best Gold IRA Company of 2026 Here
The best Gold IRA company should help you understand the full process clearly before you move any retirement funds. It should explain fees, eligible metals, storage, custodians, buyback terms, risks, and alternatives without pressuring you into a rushed decision.
This guide explains how to find the best Gold IRA company, what safety checks to perform, what red flags to avoid, and what to remember before opening a precious metals IRA.

What Is a Gold IRA Company?
A Gold IRA company helps investors set up a self-directed IRA that can hold IRS-eligible physical precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
Most Gold IRA companies are not the actual IRA custodian. Instead, they usually work with third-party custodians and approved storage depositories. Their role is to help investors understand the process, purchase eligible metals, coordinate paperwork, and arrange storage through the proper channels.
Learn How to Open a Gold IRA with This Free Guide
A Gold IRA company may help with:
IRA rollover guidance
Account setup support
Precious metals selection
Custodian coordination
Depository storage arrangements
Buyback or liquidation support
Investor education
Because several parties may be involved, investors should understand who does what. The dealer sells the metals, the custodian administers the IRA, and the depository stores the metals.
Why Choosing the Best Gold IRA Company Matters
A Gold IRA can be useful for retirement diversification, but it can also become expensive or risky if handled poorly. The wrong company may charge excessive markups, push overpriced coins, hide storage details, use fear-based sales tactics, or avoid explaining the full cost of ownership.
A trustworthy Gold IRA company should not make gold sound risk-free. Gold can rise or fall in value. It does not pay dividends or interest. It can also involve higher fees than traditional IRA assets such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, or mutual funds.
See Which Gold IRA Companies Rank the Highest in the USA
The goal is not to find a company that promises the highest returns. The goal is to find a company that offers transparency, compliance, fair pricing, reliable storage, and a clear process.
Check the Company’s Reputation
Start with reputation. A Gold IRA company should have a visible track record, clear ownership information, customer reviews, and a professional online presence.
Look at:
Better Business Bureau profile
Trustpilot reviews
Business Consumer Alliance profile
Google reviews
Consumer complaint databases
State regulator records
Company history
Leadership information
Lawsuits or enforcement actions
Do not judge a company only by star ratings. Read the actual complaints. A few complaints are normal for any financial company, but repeated complaints about hidden fees, pressure tactics, delayed deliveries, poor communication, or misleading sales claims should be taken seriously.
Also pay attention to how the company responds to complaints. A professional company will usually respond clearly and attempt to resolve customer issues.

Verify the Custodian
A Gold IRA must be held through an IRA custodian. The best Gold IRA company may help you connect with a custodian, but you should still verify the custodian separately.
Ask these questions:
Who is the IRA custodian?
Is the custodian independent from the dealer?
What are the custodian’s annual fees?
What paperwork will I receive?
How will account statements be provided?
Does the custodian specialize in self-directed IRAs?
What happens if I want to change dealers later?
This is important because the custodian is responsible for administering the IRA. The dealer should not blur the line between selling metals and managing the retirement account.
Confirm IRS-Approved Storage
One of the biggest safety checks is storage. Physical metals inside a Gold IRA generally need to be held by a qualified trustee, custodian, or approved depository. Investors should be cautious of any company that presents home storage as a simple or guaranteed strategy.
Ask the company:
Where will my metals be stored?
Is the depository approved for IRA storage?
Can I choose the depository?
Is storage segregated or commingled?
What does storage cost per year?
Is insurance included?
How do I verify the metals are stored there?
Will I receive depository statements?
Storage is not a minor detail. If IRA metals are handled incorrectly, there may be tax consequences. A reputable company should explain storage rules clearly and should not encourage shortcuts.
Understand the Full Fee Structure
Gold IRAs can have more fees than traditional retirement accounts. Before opening an account, ask for a full written fee schedule.
Common fees include:
The most important cost is often not the annual account fee. It is the spread or markup between the metal’s market price and the price you pay. Some investors focus only on setup and storage costs while ignoring the dealer markup, which can be much larger.
Ask for a written quote that shows:
A company that refuses to provide clear written pricing should be avoided.
Compare Bullion vs. Premium Coins
Many Gold IRA investors assume all gold products are priced similarly. They are not.
Some companies may push premium, collectible, proof, or semi-numismatic coins because these products can carry higher markups than standard bullion. That does not automatically make them bad, but investors must understand what they are paying for.
Ask:
Is this product IRA-eligible?
Is it bullion or a premium coin?
What is the markup over melt value?
How easy is it to resell?
Would another dealer buy it?
Why is this product better than a standard bullion coin or bar?
For most retirement investors, simple and liquid bullion products may be easier to understand than complex premium coins. If a company aggressively pushes rare or collectible coins without explaining costs, that is a red flag.

Review the Buyback Policy
A Gold IRA is not only about buying. You should also understand how selling works.
Ask the company:
Do you offer a buyback program?
Is the buyback guaranteed?
How is the buyback price calculated?
Are there liquidation fees?
How long does the process take?
Will I receive funds by check or wire?
Can I sell to another dealer?
What happens during required minimum distributions?
A buyback program can be helpful, but it does not guarantee profits. Gold prices fluctuate, and the price offered to sell metals back may be below the retail price you paid.
The safest approach is to get the buyback explanation in writing before purchasing.
Avoid High-Pressure Sales Tactics
A Gold IRA is a retirement decision. You should never feel rushed.
Be cautious if a representative:
Says the offer is only available today
Uses fear-heavy political or economic claims
Guarantees gold will rise
Says stocks or banks are certain to collapse
Discourages you from speaking to a financial advisor
Discourages comparison shopping
Pushes you to move your entire retirement account
Avoids written answers
Promises risk-free returns
Hunt shares, “Gold may play a role in a diversified retirement plan, but no investment is guaranteed. A good Gold IRA company should educate you, not scare you.”
Check for “Free Gold” Offers Carefully
Many Gold IRA companies advertise promotions such as “free silver,” “free gold,” or “no fees for the first year.” These offers may be legitimate, but they are not always truly free.
The cost of a promotion may be built into:
Higher metal markups
Larger minimum purchase requirements
Wider spreads
Specific product restrictions
Long holding requirements
Before accepting a promotion, ask:
What is the exact value of the offer?
What purchase amount is required?
Is the promotion paid for through higher pricing?
Can I choose lower-premium metals instead?
What happens if I liquidate early?
A promotion should never be the main reason to choose a Gold IRA company.
Make Sure the Company Explains Risks
A trustworthy Gold IRA company should explain both benefits and risks.
Potential benefits may include:
Portfolio diversification
Physical precious metals exposure
Inflation hedge potential
Safe-haven appeal during uncertainty
Tax-advantaged retirement account structure
Potential risks include:
Gold price volatility
Higher fees than standard IRAs
Dealer markups
Storage costs
No dividends or interest
Liquidity limitations
IRS compliance requirements
Possible loss if metals are sold shortly after purchase
If a company only talks about upside and avoids discussing risks, you should be careful.
Ask About Account Minimums
Gold IRA companies often have minimum investment requirements. Some are suitable for larger retirement accounts, while others are more accessible for smaller investors.
Ask:
What is the minimum to open an account?
Is there a minimum for specific metals?
Are fees flat or percentage-based?
Would my account size make the annual fees too expensive?
Is a Gold IRA still practical for my investment amount?
For smaller investors, annual fees can eat into returns quickly. In some cases, buying a gold ETF or direct physical metals outside an IRA may be simpler, though each option has different tax and storage implications.

Understand Rollovers and Transfers
Many Gold IRAs are funded through rollovers or transfers from existing retirement accounts.
Common funding sources include:
Traditional IRA
Roth IRA
SEP IRA
SIMPLE IRA
401(k)
403(b)
TSP
Ask the company and custodian to explain whether your transaction is a transfer, direct rollover, or indirect rollover. This matters because incorrect handling can trigger taxes or penalties.
Never withdraw retirement funds personally unless you understand the consequences. A direct custodian-to-custodian process is usually simpler and safer.
Speak With an Independent Advisor
A Gold IRA company may provide education, but it is still selling metals. Before moving a large amount of retirement money, consider speaking with an independent financial advisor, CPA, or retirement planner.
Ask an independent advisor:
Does a Gold IRA fit my retirement strategy?
What allocation is reasonable?
How will fees affect returns?
Are there simpler alternatives?
How will this affect taxes and distributions?
What happens if gold prices decline?
This step is especially important if you are considering moving a large portion of your retirement savings into precious metals.
Best Gold IRA Company 2026: Why Augusta Precious Metals Matches These Safety Criteria Best
Augusta Precious Metals stands out as the Gold IRA company that best matches the safety criteria investors should look for before opening a precious metals IRA. The company’s biggest advantage is its education-first model. Instead of rushing customers into a transaction, Augusta emphasizes one-on-one web conferences, detailed explanations, and guidance on how gold and silver IRAs work. This directly addresses one of the most important safety checks: investors should understand the product before moving retirement funds.

Augusta also performs well on reputation checks. The company has been BBB accredited since 2015 and has a long operating history in the precious metals space. That matters because Gold IRA investors should avoid unknown firms with unclear ownership, weak complaint handling, or limited public records.
Another reason Augusta ranks highly is its focus on transparency. The company publishes Gold and Silver IRA fee information and positions itself against common industry problems such as “free silver” gimmicks, high-pressure tactics, and confusing pricing. For investors worried about hidden costs, this is an important trust signal.
Overall, Augusta Precious Metals is a strong match for investors who want a safer, more guided Gold IRA experience. It combines reputation, education, fee visibility, customer support, and rollover guidance better than most competitors, making it a logical top choice for retirement savers comparing Gold IRA companies.
Gold IRA Safety Checklist
Before choosing a Gold IRA company, complete this checklist:
Verify the company’s reviews and complaint history.
Confirm the IRA custodian’s identity.
Confirm the approved depository.
Ask whether storage is segregated or commingled.
Request all fees in writing.
Ask for the spot price and markup.
Compare bullion and premium coin pricing.
Review the buyback policy.
Avoid guaranteed-return claims.
Avoid high-pressure sales.
Be cautious with “free gold” offers.
Confirm metals are IRA-eligible.
Understand rollover rules.
Consult an independent advisor.
Compare at least three companies before deciding.
Questions to Ask a Gold IRA Company
Use these questions before opening an account:
How long has your company been in business?
Who is the IRA custodian?
Which depositories do you work with?
What are all setup, annual, storage, and transaction fees?
How do you calculate your markup over spot price?
Can I receive a written quote before buying?
Are you recommending bullion or premium coins?
Why are you recommending these specific metals?
Is there a buyback program?
How is the buyback price calculated?
Are there any liquidation fees?
What happens if I want to transfer my IRA later?
Will I receive account statements from the custodian?
Will I receive storage confirmation from the depository?
Are there any promotions, and how are they funded?
The best companies will answer these questions clearly. The wrong companies will avoid them.
Best Gold IRA Company: What the Ideal Provider Looks Like
The best Gold IRA company should have:
Strong reputation
Transparent written pricing
Clear explanation of fees
Independent custodian relationship
Approved storage options
Good customer education
No pressure-based sales tactics
Clear buyback process
Simple rollover support
Realistic risk disclosures
Helpful customer service
The company should make the process easier to understand, not harder.
Should You Choose the Cheapest Gold IRA Company?
Not always. The cheapest company is not automatically the best. A low advertised fee may hide higher spreads, limited support, poor storage options, or weak customer service.
Instead of choosing based only on price, compare the total value:
Total cost of purchase
Annual fees
Storage quality
Company reputation
Buyback support
Product liquidity
Customer service
Transparency
A slightly higher fee may be acceptable if the company provides better clarity, safer processes, and stronger support. However, excessive markups or unclear pricing should always be avoided.

Zcash plummeted in price following the disclosure of a critical, four-year-old vulnerability.
Because of Zcash’s privacy features, the bug’s scope couldn’t definitively be determined in terms of counterfeit coins.
Some said tradeoffs between privacy and auditability are “part of the deal,” pointing to bugs patched in years past.
Shielding funds from prying eyes has long been Zcash’s forte, but investors’ unease on Friday indicated that the privacy coin’s core feature can also resemble an Achilles’ heel.
Following the disclosure of a bug that had the potential to unleash a wave of counterfeit coins, Zcash tanked to its lowest point in over a month. The digital asset recently changed hands around $350, a 33% decrease over the past day, according to CoinGecko, after falling below $265 overnight.
Zcash allows users to hide transaction details, featuring a design where they can switch between address types that are either transparent or shielded using a technology known as zero-knowledge proofs. That appears to be why investors are spooked.
“There is no definitive way to determine, using only cryptography, whether such exploitation occurred,” Shielded Labs, an organization that supports Zcash’s development, said in a disclosure, noting that the four-year-old vulnerability was fixed earlier this week.
Nic Carter, founding partner of investment firm Castle Island Ventures, told Decrypt that the development may be disconcerting, but the tradeoff between privacy and auditability is not a foreign concept for people who have followed the crypto market for years.
He pointed to a Zcash bug discovered in 2018 that theoretically allowed bad actors to mint counterfeit coins before it was fixed the following year. In 2017, Zcash’s chief competitor, Monero, also patched a bug that allowed for the creation of an unlimited number of coins.
“I don’t think it’s game over for Zcash,” Carter added. “Some newcomers to the space, they might be a little perturbed by it, but it’s basically part of the deal.”
Members of Monero’s community echoed that sentiment, including Cake Wallet COO Seth Simmons. He praised Shielded Labs on X for fixing the exploit quickly, working with stakeholders, and being honest and transparent so Zcash’s whole ecosystem could improve.
“No Monero folks should be looking to dunk on Zcash,” he added. “It’s a natural downside to building out privacy as the default in these systems.”
Still, the privacy coin has been increasingly positioned by analysts and advocates as a privacy-enhanced alternative to Bitcoin, and backers of the largest digital asset by market cap took the opportunity to highlight pitfalls associated with on-chain privacy.
“This will happen again in Zcash,” Rob Hamilton, CEO of Bitcoin insurance firm AnchorWatch, argued on X. “You’ll just never be able to prove it because you can’t audit the supply.”
Beyond Zcash, the vulnerability that Shielded Labs said was identified using Anthropic’s recently released Claude Opus 4.8 model carries implications that are “a little bit concerning,” Carlos Guzman, vice president of research at crypto trading firm GSR, told Decrypt.
Whether or not artificial intelligence will benefit bad actors or organizations that strengthen protocols more remains an open question, but complex cryptography is becoming less of a barrier to detecting critical flaws, Guzman said.
“There aren’t many experts that are familiar with these circuits, so they are kind of hard to hack,” Guzman added, referring to systems that use zero-knowledge proofs. “But with AI, […] the ability to find bugs in these systems is getting democratized.”
