The exchange's security notice declined to name an attack vector, and hours later its chief executive said the attacker spoofed transaction data through a compromised backend system, ruling out private key theft. Withdrawals remain suspended, and the loss is close to 76 percent of the User Protection Fund Bitget says covers it.

Anza is targeting about 150 milliseconds to finality, down from the roughly 12.8 seconds it attributes to TowerBFT, but Firedancer and Frankendancer cannot run the code yet. No mainnet date has been announced, and September 28 is a feature-gate processing date rather than a confirmed Alpenglow launch.

Network-reported block times put the new slots at about 267 milliseconds on average, the same roughly 16-millisecond overhead that sat on top of the 400, 350 and 300 millisecond targets before it. Block limits fell in proportion, so throughput stays at 150 million compute units a second.

Months of talks to merge EIP-8141 and EIP-8130 ended without agreement, and each side is now shipping its own transaction type. Base's version is scheduled to reach a live network first.

Nearly 2.4 million ZEC took part, about two-thirds of the eligible supply, and 98.9 percent chose bitcoin-style halvings over a smoothed issuance curve. The result is advisory: NU7 still needs code, testing and a ZIP activation.

The fake alert claimed an STM32 entropy flaw in about one in four devices, a lure that lands harder six weeks after a real entropy bug drained 594 bitcoin from Coldcard wallets. BitBox users received near-identical mail the same day.

The BLAKE2b chain locked out every SHA-256 rig in existence when it activated on 1 September. The one venue quoting the coin showed a 131.7 per cent bid-ask spread, and no major exchange has listed it at all.

Hitting December 2029 means a hard fork roughly every seven months from Glamsterdam onward, and Hegotá, the next one in line, carries no post-quantum code at all.

The 2003-vintage botnet spent its final eight years swapping copied bitcoin and ether addresses for the operator's own, and took about $150,000 doing it. There was never a command server to seize.

The first of five cuts to Solana's storage deposit reaches mainnet this week, trimming roughly 9 per cent. A sixth feature gate exists purely to put the whole thing back.

Cosmos Labs cleared the underflow in April after testers could not reproduce it on live configurations. The fix finally shipped on 19 August, under a release note that named nothing, and validators had twenty hours.

Four of seven seats expire at the end of epoch 653, and below five members the committee cannot ratify treasury withdrawals, parameter changes or the hard fork initiation that Dijkstra depends on.

The custodial Wallet bot has been renamed Walt and demoted to trading and yield, which leaves self-custody as the default for an audience that never went looking for it.

Avici's card-issuing partner Rain traced the theft to an outdated version of its Solana contract. The attacker registered himself as an administrator on 1,685 collateral accounts; every one of them will be refunded in full.

StarkWare's transaction is nonstandard under Bitcoin Core's relay rules, so MARA had to mine it directly. Hours of computation and up to $200 went into moving 10,000 satoshis.

A race condition in versions before 1.22.2 let a malicious dapp swap the payload the device signed for the one the user approved. Ledger fixed it quietly two weeks before a researcher went public.

The upgrade also lifts testnet throughput from 1,237 to 2,324 transactions per second and tightens the rules on how validator keys are retired.

The team blames an authorisation flaw in the Evmos stack its chain was built on. Rebuilding was impossible because Evmos itself was discontinued in May, so BB is moving to BNB Chain as a BEP-20 token.

SIMD-0525 shortens each epoch to 42 hours and rotates validators every 1.4 seconds. The change cuts confirmation latency without adding throughput; three more 50ms cuts are queued.
