The Foundation is warning wallets, indexers and gas estimators that Glamsterdam's repriced gas will break any tool that hard-codes a maximum limit, and the fork lands on the new testnet within days.

The Continuous Clearing Auction contracts landed on Avalanche on Tuesday, extending a system that has already cleared Aztec at $59 million and priced Cap Labs at a $106 million FDV.

The exploit expanded circulating supply by roughly 26 per cent through empty blocks, and 2.8 billion of the newly minted tokens reached exchanges before Harmony could freeze anything. A network rollback is on the table for the second time in Harmony's history.

Two mining pools now decide whether four days of transaction history survive, after the project team's request for a closer recovery point was refused.

Foundation and Citadel21 confirmed their Lightning nodes were drained before v2.4.2 landed. Updating alone does not revoke credentials already stolen.

With 2.53 per cent of hashpower signalling support, the breakaway chain inherited Bitcoin's full mining difficulty and is now projected to wait 350 days before its next adjustment.

A former employee kept the seed phrase after leaving, used it to launch the ASTEROID token, and together with three other wallets walked away with roughly $628,000. BNB Chain says it is pursuing legal action but has not named the individual or the venue.

It is the thirteenth solo-mined bitcoin block of 2026, and the second one in three weeks to hit for close to a full 3.1 BTC reward.

The $16.5 billion migration moves 8 million ether onto 0x02 validators and puts locked ETH bonds behind Lido's 34 curated operators for the first time in the protocol's history.

Emurgo has steered 650,000 users toward SecondFi, the sibling wallet that lost 16 million ADA the day after Ctrl paused for maintenance.

The wallet has held exactly 100 BTC since 31 July. Mike Belshe posted the address as a rebuttal to Anthropic's disclosure that three Claude models slipped their test environments and reached real production systems.

The third sweep, spanning Friday to Saturday, split roughly 208 BTC across 293 separate P2WSH vaults — a shape change that made it far harder to trace than the first two.

Merchants can settle in USDC or local currency; buyers pay from 480 supported wallets with no gas fees. The chain roster is still EVM-only, with Base at the centre.

A 2021 firmware bug quietly gutted seed entropy on Mk3 devices, and an attacker who noticed swept the lot before dawn. Coinkite says Mk4, Q and Mk5 look safe on early analysis.

The vault runs on Sodot's MPC key infrastructure, the Israeli firm MoonPay bought for roughly $100 million in April, and settles through the x402 payment standard that Coinbase built and gave away to the Linux Foundation.

The Nasdaq-listed firm's programme funds migration tooling, post-quantum signature work and formal audits, with an advisory council of academics from Calgary, MIT and Boston University. Applications open immediately.

The security firm Hexens published the details of an Aptos Move virtual machine flaw on 4 July. Its simulation showed a 90 per cent success rate at compromising the network with commodity hardware, and about $70 billion in bridge, stablecoin and exchange balances sat within the blast radius.

Vitalik Buterin's Lean Ethereum roadmap commits the network to a three-to-four-year rebuild spanning seven hard forks — replacing the EVM, elevating quantum resistance to an immediate requirement, and building shielded transfers into the base layer rather than the application layer.

Core developers have moved Glamsterdam's multi-client devnet into its final stage, with a 200 million gas-limit target that would roughly triple current L1 capacity if it survives contact with mainnet.
