Privacy-focused public chain Zano activated its sixth hard fork (HF6) at block height 3,833,000 on August 31. The upgrade is now live on the mainnet, marking the largest upgrade in the network's seven-year history.HF6 introduces Gateway Addresses, providing centralized exchanges, DEXs, and cross-chain bridges with directly trackable single balances and instant synchronization, while preserving existing addresses and their privacy model. Native ZANO can now be transferred non-custodially across chains to Ethereum, Solana, and TON, where it becomes public on external networks, and privacy protection is restored upon transferring back to Zano.The upgrade also tightens consensus validation rules and enhances wallet encryption, mining pool fault tolerance, payment IDs, anti-DoS restrictions, SOCKS5 proxy, and RPC interfaces.HF6 is a prerequisite for the EVM-compatible chain Zano Execution Layer, which is currently in development and has no fixed launch date yet; the next-generation consensus protocol Zenith has been included in the 2027 roadmap.

Odaily News – Robinhood's blockchain, Robinhood Chain, has recently seen a surge in trading activity. On August 30, the network processed a record 5.52 million transactions in a single day, with on-chain applications generating approximately $2.66 million in 24-hour revenue—surpassing Ethereum's roughly $1.3 million and trailing only Solana's $5.07 million.Meanwhile, Robinhood Chain recorded approximately $875 million in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume. Among this, the two major versions of Uniswap contributed around $432 million and $357 million in trading volume, respectively.Meme coin trading is one of the primary drivers behind this surge in activity. Data shows that Pons, a token launch platform on Robinhood Chain, created approximately 22,600 tokens in a single day, marking an increase of over 40% from the previous day. Together, GMGN, Pons, and Uniswap accounted for roughly 88% of the network's application revenue.Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain on July 1, initially focusing on the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) such as stocks. However, within just a few weeks of going live, meme coin trading quickly took center stage. Now, as the crypto market warms up, trading activity on Robinhood Chain has continued to intensify, with daily network transactions climbing from under 1 million in early July to over 5 million.Based on current data, the most active use case on Robinhood Chain is not tokenized stocks, but rather meme coin issuance and speculative trading.

Odaily News, Avici announced that its card partner Rain discovered today a vulnerability in an old Solana card contract used by Avici and a few other projects. The relevant contract has now been upgraded across all projects, and no further unauthorized activity has been detected. This incident only affected the standalone Solana contract used to hold post-deposit card balances; users' Avici wallets and card balances are isolated from each other, and funds in Solana and EVM self-custody wallets are safe and unaffected. Upon review, a total of 1,685 users were affected, with combined card balances of approximately $500,900. Avici has committed to fully refunding card balances to all affected users and has filed a report with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). Previously reported, Avici, a crypto banking project, saw its native token AVICI allegedly suffer a hacker attack, with losses of approximately $1.02 million. The attacker transferred 10,000 SOL stolen from the project to another wallet, converted it into approximately $1.02 million USDC, and then swapped the funds into approximately 418 ETH via cross-chain operations.
Avici stated that its card-issuing partner, Rain, discovered a vulnerability in a specific version of the Solana card contract used by Avici and a few other projects. The relevant contracts have since been upgraded, and no further unauthorized activity has been detected to date. Avici clarified that user wallets and card balances are independent, meaning funds in Solana and EVM wallets remain unaffected; this incident only impacted the isolated Solana contract designated for storing card balances. Current reconciliations indicate that 1,685 users were affected, involving card balances totaling $500,859.22. All affected users will receive full refunds.

Odaily News: Uniswap founder Hayden said in a post on X that he cannot ignore the theory of correlation trading pairs when observing various things, and noticed that the second-largest Uniswap pool on Base is the Jito staked SOL/BTC trading pair, which aligns with the logic of correlation trading pairs.In an article titled "Correlation Trading Pairs: How AMMs Win the Biggest Markets," Hayden stated that AMMs have the potential to become the core engine of all financial markets, and tokenization will make markets programmable, changing market types, market makers, and the assets being traded.He said Uniswap has been operating autonomously since its launch in 2018, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $4.6 trillion, and has helped increase the proportion of decentralized exchanges relative to centralized spot trading volume from less than 1% to over 20%. As AMMs have developed, their liquidity has gradually formed a structure of correlation trading pairs.He pointed out that AMMs initially achieved product-market fit in the long-tail asset market, and then stablecoin trading pairs developed. Due to the lower capital costs of passive strategies, the demand for professional market making in stablecoin trading pairs has been squeezed.Hayden said traditional financial markets are dominated by market-making firms that integrate capital, trading strategies, execution technology, settlement, and distribution into a single vertical business. Citadel Securities handles approximately 25% of US stock trading volume, with net trading revenue reaching $12.2 billion last year and trading capital of approximately $21 billion.He believes blockchain can unbundle the different components of traditional market-making businesses: code handles execution, shared services provide custody and settlement, and open-source software replaces proprietary infrastructure. The scarce factor of capital in AMMs is capital itself, and participants who can hold inventory at lower costs gain an advantage.Hayden said liquidity providers face lower inventory risk when holding assets with similar price movements, and liquidity will deepen as a result. Ethereum ecosystem assets typically trade against ETH, Solana ecosystem assets typically trade against SOL, stablecoins trade in pairs with each other, and a few high-liquidity trading pairs are responsible for connecting different asset clusters.He noted that once tokenized assets share the same settlement layer, any asset can trade directly against any other asset. For example, NVIDIA/USD can become NVIDIA/SPY and connect to the dollar through SPY/USD; oil companies can trade against oil ETFs or tokenized oil, and private credit can trade against tokenized US Treasury funds.Hayden said traditional market makers typically pursue delta neutrality, reducing risk by denominating in USD and hedging non-USD exposure, which increases market-making costs. A market structure consisting of low-volatility correlation trading pairs and a few high-

Odaily News: As of August, cumulative top-ups on USDC- and USDT-linked stablecoin cards have reached $13.8 billion, an increase of nearly $10 billion over the past 12 months. Stablecoin cards are shifting USDC and USDT from trading balances toward everyday consumer use cases.USDC currently leads in tracked card spending, while USDT is accelerating its catch-up. The two follow different adoption paths: USDC benefits more from fintech integrations and payment infrastructure, whereas USDT is more active across exchanges, remittances, and emerging markets.On-chain settlement also reflects a multi-chain distribution, with Base leading at approximately $1.2 billion, followed by Solana at $635 million, Polygon at $544 million, and Optimism at $509 million. Networks such as Arbitrum, Scroll, Ethereum, and Stellar are also carrying significant activity.Stablecoin cards still rely on traditional payment networks like Visa and Mastercard, shifting the competitive focus toward custody, FX costs, cashback, and capital efficiency. Meanwhile, Circle has renewed its USDC partnership with Coinbase under the original terms, excluding any dividend arrangements. (Bitcoin.com News)
