multi-chain oracle project Switchboard has announced it is ceasing operations. Switchboard Technology Labs, its core development contributor, will gradually wind down remaining operations, all Switchboard implementations will stop being maintained effective immediately, and remaining support will be terminated on September 25. Protocols using its oracle are required to migrate immediately to alternatives such as Pyth and RedStone.Switchboard stated that AI has reduced the cost of building in-house oracles, the crypto bear market has led to a decline in the number of new public chains and project budgets, and the model of direct collaboration between data providers such as Hyperliquid and S&P shows that protocols may increasingly obtain data directly, thereby weakening the value of third-party oracle networks.

Odaily News: Coinbase announced that it has partnered with Stanford University cryptography professor Dan Boneh and Localhost Research to host a closed-door "Post-Quantum Bitcoin Workshop" at Stanford University, bringing together Bitcoin developers, cryptography experts, researchers, institutional custodians, and hardware wallet specialists to discuss technical and migration solutions for Bitcoin to address future quantum computing threats.The workshop focused on assessing the progress of quantum computing development, post-quantum cryptography, and different post-quantum signature schemes applicable to Bitcoin, as well as discussing Ethereum's quantum resistance roadmap, practical requirements for institutional custody operations, and how to introduce post-quantum security mechanisms to Bitcoin through new output types and other means. Participants agreed that rather than predicting when quantum computing will pose an actual threat to existing cryptographic systems, it is more important to establish thoroughly tested contingency plans in advance. Quantum computing does not currently pose an imminent crisis, but the earlier research and coordination begins, the better equipped the ecosystem will be to avoid rushed network upgrades and asset migrations under pressure in the future.However, no single post-quantum solution has yet reached consensus. Different approaches involve trade-offs in security, transaction data size, hardware performance, key management, and the difficulty of user migration. Participants noted that Bitcoin's quantum resistance cannot rely solely on protocol-level upgrades—it also requires simultaneous consideration of how individual users, institutional custodians, wallets, and hardware devices generate, store, back up, and migrate keys and assets.
