Odaily News: The Ethereum Foundation has stated that the Protocol Cluster has published two articles providing a systematic assessment of the next network upgrade, Hegotá. Among them, "Hegotá EIP Opinion Post and Tier List" evaluates and grades the 62 EIPs currently proposed — marking the first time the team has released a unified EIP rating list for a network upgrade. Approximately 60 researchers, engineers, and domain experts from 9 teams under the Protocol Cluster participated in the review, submitting a total of 397 rating opinions, and engaging in discussions on controversial proposals. The current and future key focuses of the Ethereum protocol layer include advancing quantum resistance for Ethereum L1 by December 2029. The Protocol Cluster will host an AMA on September 16 at 14:00 UTC to discuss the Hegotá EIP ratings and protocol development priorities.
According to CoinDesk, Ethereum developers have incorporated EIP-8141 "Sponsored Transactions" into the Hegotá upgrade scheduled for 2027. This feature aims to enable users to execute on-chain transactions without holding ETH, allowing applications or other accounts to pay gas fees on their behalf, or to settle associated costs using assets like stablecoins.
According to QCP's market report, in the crypto market, Bitcoin initially climbed above $82,000 early in the week before pulling back to around $79,300; Ethereum remained steady at approximately $2,500. From September 1 to 4, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $770 million in net inflows, indicating that institutional capital continues to participate in market pricing.
Odaily News: Gate has officially launched a new one-stop on-chain trading product, "FOMO Hunter," aggregating hot multi-chain assets and Meme trading scenarios. It covers multiple major public chains including Robinhood, SOL, ETH, Gate Layer, BSC, Base, SUI, ARB, World Chain, AVAX, Polygon, LINEA, ZK, OP, and Berachain, supporting hot Memes, promising small-cap tokens, and various other types of on-chain assets.In terms of trading fees, "FOMO Hunter" applies a unified 0.5% buy and sell fee rate. Users trading Robinhood Chain assets through "FOMO Hunter" can also enjoy a limited-time Gas (network fee) waiver. For the trading experience, users can directly trade on-chain using their Gate account assets without needing to create or connect a wallet, or frequently transfer assets or switch networks. They can also query real-time quotes and K-line charts via token names or contract addresses, enabling "search-to-trade." Additionally, "FOMO Hunter" focuses on a Meme social trading ecosystem, supporting features such as Callout leaderboards, KOL leaderboards, and active account displays. Furthermore, leveraging Gate's deep liquidity and high-performance matching engine, it further enhances on-chain trade execution efficiency while reducing wait times and slippage.This launch further lowers the barrier for users to participate in on-chain trading and enriches Gate's Web3 asset trading scenarios. Going forward, Gate will continue to improve its on-chain trading infrastructure and product experience, providing users with more convenient and diversified Web3 trading services.
Odaily News: The decentralized lending protocol Secured Finance's lending market was attacked on September 5, resulting in a loss of approximately $104,000. The root cause was that collateral was priced based on the average execution price of the order book for the current block, allowing attackers to influence the price through self-trading, causing fraudulent lending positions to be counted as valid collateral. The attacker initially deployed the contract but did not execute immediately, then used flash loans and self-trading to inflate the price and withdraw USDC. The original attacking wallet was rolled back due to insufficient gas fees; approximately 48 seconds later, the general-purpose sandwich bot coffeebabe took about 0.9 WBTC, worth approximately $72,000, and transferred about 28.8 ETH of it to the ultra sound money builder, keeping only about $29 for itself. Subsequently, another bot took part of the USDC.
Odaily News Silicon Valley angel investor Liron Shapira (@liron) posted on X this morning: "I predict (with 50% confidence): due to AI shaking the security and stability guarantees people once believed Bitcoin possessed, BTC's price will plummet more than 50% within the next two years."Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rebutted this, stating: "I hold the exact opposite view. My basic reasoning is that, in the long run, I am quite optimistic about network security. I believe the main challenge lies in smoothly navigating the transition period. Moreover, I think BTC can at least properly handle all problems that do not require social consensus (such as upgrading clients, mining pools, etc., to counter network-level attacks — these fall into this category). Additionally, I believe the probability of hash algorithms or proof-of-work mechanisms being genuinely broken is extremely slim. I would have wanted to bet with you, but considering my current asset allocation (I guess you hold the same view regarding Ethereum ETH), I have already staked about 90% of my net worth on this bet."
Harmony Protocol announced a proposal to migrate its native token ONE to the Ethereum mainnet and gradually shut down the Harmony network. Under the plan, ONE balances in user wallets, staking delegations, validator rewards, smart contracts, and centralized exchanges will be snapshotted at the final block. The new ONE tokens will be airdropped to corresponding Ethereum addresses as ERC-20 tokens, requiring no manual claim from holders.
Odaily News, Circle has published a statement on the cirBTC reserve mechanism, stating that each cirBTC is backed 1:1 by one native BTC and can be redeemed for native BTC at a 1:1 ratio. The corresponding BTC is held by Circle-affiliated entities and custodied by Circle National Trust, which is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The reserve assets are segregated from Circle's corporate assets and are used solely to protect the interests of cirBTC holders. cirBTC is currently live on Ethereum and will receive native support once the Arc mainnet launches, with future expansion to more blockchains. Circle also provides on-chain reserve verification through a public BTC reserve address and the Chainlink Proof of Reserve mechanism, allowing market participants to compare the scale of reserved BTC against the circulating supply of cirBTC across all supported chains.
: The G7 cybersecurity working group stated in its latest report that quantum computing poses both a security threat and an economic threat to public and private institutions, and related organizations should immediately begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).The working group noted that the migration process could take several years, as attackers can already collect and store encrypted data today and decrypt it once sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge. Quantum computing could also break digital signatures, leading to identity theft and exposing companies and their supply chains.The report did not mention cryptocurrencies, but similar public-key cryptography is used for blockchain wallets and transaction authorization. Current quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography, but developers are considering post-quantum solutions such as BIP-360.Ethereum researchers plan to replace multiple cryptographic components used by accounts, validators, and applications. The Solana Foundation has tested post-quantum signatures on its testnet and launched an optional hash-based vault. The G7 working group also urged governments to support related research, public-private cooperation, and national PQC strategies. (Decrypt)
Odaily News - Prediction market platform Polymarket launched its perpetual contract product, Polymarket Perps, on September 3. The initial offering covers 10 contracts including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, HYPE, Gold, Silver, WTI Crude Oil, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and a contract tracking SpaceX stock, expanding to 67 markets within hours.The product has no expiration date, with contract prices continuously tracking the underlying assets.

Odaily News Uniswap founder Hayden said on X that correlated trading pairs are emerging. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by volume are "bridge" pairs connecting other common base pairs, which then primarily link to highly correlated tokenized stocks. These markets are global, programmable, low-cost, and operate 24/7.Uniswap founder Hayden said on X:.I've been working at the frontier of DeFi for 9 years. It's a fascinating field with infinite depth and the potential to transform capital markets.I've always believed AMMs hold immense potential, but for the past decade, one question has persisted: Can this novel market structure truly become the core engine for all financial markets?After years of evolution and development, the path for AMMs to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. To explain this, we need to start in 1976.Tokenization Changes Market Makers.Index funds celebrated their 50th anniversary this month. When Jack Bogle launched the index fund in 1976, he hoped to raise $150 million but ultimately raised only $11.3 million. Competitors called it "Bogle's Folly," posting posters claiming index funds were un-American. They argued that a fund making no decisions couldn't possibly beat professionals paid to make decisions. Today, the majority of US fund assets are allocated to passive investment vehicles.I've been thinking about this recently because tokenization's "folly moment" is ending. The SEC has approved NASDAQ and the NYSE to trade tokenized stocks. DTCC, which handles virtually all US securities settlement, also conducted a live pilot of tokenized trades in July. Nearly all related activity is described the same way: treating tokenization as an infrastructure upgrade.The same markets, faster, cheaper, and always open. These statements are all true, but I believe the infrastructure upgrade framework obscures a larger change. Tokenization makes markets programmable, changing how markets exist, who makes markets, and what is traded.In 2018, I created Uniswap, an automated market maker protocol. Anyone can deposit two assets into a shared liquidity pool and earn fees from every trade, while prices adjust along a curve as users buy and sell. Uniswap has operated autonomously since its launch, processing over $4.6 trillion in cumulative volume and increasing DEX spot volume share from under 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern most financial markets haven't noticed yet: correlated trading pairs.The Easiest Place to Find Success.To succeed everywhere, you must first succeed somewhere. AMMs found product-market fit in long-tail markets because most assets previously couldn't attract professional market makers' attention. On Uniswap, anyone can create a market with a single transaction, and issuers and early supporters can become the first liquidity providers.Then came stablecoin pairs. Take USDC/USDT, for example. A good passive strategy can approach optimal l

Odaily News - Users can now send supported tokens from networks such as Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Sui directly to Jupiter without using bridge tools, and receive USDC directly in their Solana wallet. This feature integrates routing, cross-chain bridging, and swap processes, eliminating the need for users to switch networks or execute additional transactions. The service currently adopts a unified fixed fee structure, charging $0.30 per transaction—whether the transfer amount is $100 or $10 million, the fee remains the same.
Odaily News: The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized approximately $560,000 in cryptocurrency and taken control of the domain and servers of a fundraising website linked to Hamas. The U.S. Department of Justice stated that these funds were allegedly intended for use by Hamas's military wing, Al Qassam Brigades.Investigators tracked and confiscated the relevant crypto assets based on three seizure warrants issued on March 25, June 25, and October 10, 2025. Court documents show that the assets involved include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Wrapped Ethereum, Tether (USDT), and TRON (TRX), distributed across 18 addresses controlled by Tether and 3 Binance accounts.According to court documents, encrypted chat groups had directed supporters to visit AlQassam.ps and solicited donations via rotating wallet addresses. After the FBI took over the relevant domain and servers, it obtained information on thousands of individuals who had contacted Hamas to inquire about making donations. (Decrypt)
