According to NetEase's report on "DeepTech," the open-source AI programming tool OpenCode has officially confirmed it was breached, affecting approximately 1.4% of OpenCode Console users, with some API keys for models stored on the platform potentially leaked. Multiple developers reported unusual charges on accounts used to call models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and others, with some claiming losses of hundreds of dollars and others stating amounts exceeding $1,700. The officials stated that the incident is related to a large-scale distillation attack and are currently working with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to address the issue.OpenCode was developed by members of the Anomaly team, with one of the main creators being Dax Raad. The team has previously worked on projects like SST and OpenNext. In addition to local programs, its cloud service Console can centralize API keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in a workspace and call them on behalf of users; the incident occurred on this cloud service. A notification email stated that the attacker gained unauthorized access to a set of decommissioned old systems, and some third-party model API keys in the Console workspaces may have been exposed. Developer Colin Parsons reported unusual charges of about $281 on his OpenAI account and about $168 on his Anthropic account, while Preston Zeller reported losses of around $1,700. Other users reported unusual charges of about $400 on Anthropic and account restrictions triggered by unusual usage on Google services.OpenCode has notified affected users to revoke and replace their keys and check recent call records. Lydia Hallie, a member of the Anthropic Claude Code team, stated that Anthropic has collaborated with OpenCode and revoked the Claude API keys believed to be affected. Tibo, a member of the OpenAI team, stated that they are working with OpenCode to help affected API users restore access and refund the amounts that were unusually consumed during the attack. Dax Raad clarified that the affected service is OpenCode Console, not the locally running OpenCode, and that keys configured directly in the local tool will not be sent to OpenCode servers. On October 18, he stated on social media that the attacker had been continuously attempting to breach the system for the past 48 hours, and the team is strengthening defenses.

According to CoinDesk, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that he is personally developing a new programming language for the Cardano network and collaborating with Input Output Global engineer Lucas Rosa. Lucas Rosa is a co-creator of Aiken, one of Cardano's main smart contract languages. Hoskinson posted on the X platform that this will be the first programming language to combine user transaction completion intentions with cryptographic proofs.It is reported that the language will support three tools: transaction intent, data with carry proofs, and Groth16 proofs. Transaction intent allows users to specify the goals they want to achieve, while leaving the specific steps to the application, for example, traders can request that a token be exchanged for another only when the final price meets certain conditions, without specifying the exact path.Data with carry proofs can attach cryptographic evidence to information, proving that it complies with specific rules, allowing other applications to verify without recalculating. Groth16 is a widely used proof system that can generate small-sized, fast-verifying proofs, demonstrating that conditions have been met without exposing private data.With the combination of the three, developers can build applications that coordinate transactions, check complex conditions, and pass verified information between services, ultimately verified by Cardano with a small proof. Currently, Cardano developers mainly use Haskell-based Plutus and Aiken to write smart contracts, while Input Output Global, founded by Hoskinson, has its own privacy blockchain Midnight with its language Compact. The name, public code, and release date of this new language have not yet been announced.

According to Chainalysis, one of the biggest victims in the theft incident involving the cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger was also a scammer, suffering a loss of over 60 BTC, worth approximately 4.8 million dollars, with funds coming from a task scam.In this scam, participants were paid to create fake sales and reviews for real products. Subsequently, a "negative balance" appeared, and participants were told that they had to invest their own funds to receive payment. On September 22, the mastermind behind the scam transferred the funds to three separate Ledger addresses. On October 9, the thieves emptied all three addresses, transferring the funds to the same wallet through a single transaction from each address. The receiving wallet has been reported to be involved with the stolen funds.

When discussing the reasons for acquiring the AI programming company Cursor, Musk stated that to create truly outstanding superintelligence, a large amount of training data is required, and programming must be conquered.Musk mentioned that, to his knowledge, there are only three organizations with sufficient programming training data: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cursor, with Google barely making the list. Musk's SpaceX completed the acquisition of Cursor on August 14, with a transaction price of approximately 60 billion dollars.

Programmable privacy infrastructure Soda Labs has completed a $3 million seed round financing, led by NextBlock. Over the past two and a half years, Soda Labs has developed a cryptographic privacy solution that combines garbled circuits with multi-party computation (GC-MPC), relying on proven standard cryptography such as AES and SHA256. Its privacy engine runs on standard cloud CPUs without the need for dedicated hardware, enabling applications to achieve privacy computing while maintaining a connection to existing public blockchain infrastructure.

The Cardano Foundation announced that the programmable token standard CIP-0113 has officially launched on the Cardano mainnet, allowing issuers of regulated assets such as stablecoins, tokenized funds, and bonds to directly embed compliance rules such as KYC, anti-money laundering, sanctions screening, asset freezing and confiscation, and transfer restrictions into the tokens, which will be executed by the Cardano ledger during each transfer, minting, and burning.This standard does not require a hard fork, and the tokens remain native assets of Cardano, with issuers able to update the rule modules according to regulatory changes.

ChainCatcher live report from the OKX NOW Global Product and Ecosystem Conference (Singapore), where Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a keynote speech. He stated that AI is both the biggest opportunity and the biggest risk for the current industry development.He believes that the industry is moving beyond the narrative of "blockchain + programmable value," with new features such as "programmable data" realized through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) emerging.Vitalik expects that privacy protocols on Ethereum will rapidly mature, and within the next two years, most people are likely to use these technologies in an "unperceived" manner.

R25 today announced that its core product R25 Studio, based on the 2 architecture, has officially launched public testing. R25 Studio is dedicated to realizing the vision of "everyone can become an asset manager," fully opening up the capabilities for the establishment, operation, and distribution of institutional-level funds. By abstracting cumbersome legal documents, backend systems, and compliance processes into configurable smart contracts, R25 Studio has successfully compressed the fund establishment cycle from several months to just 10 minutes.The platform revolves around Build, Manage, Earn, and Distribute, covering Vault creation, subscription and redemption, investment management, fee earning, and distribution; asset managers can autonomously set investment parameters, management fees, and performance fee rates on-chain without building complex fund structures from scratch, generate exclusive Vault Tokens/Shares, and list the Vault on channels such as Dapp and Topnod. The platform also provides performance data such as NAV, APY, cumulative returns, and maximum drawdown, helping asset managers monitor strategy performance in real-time.Previously, in Phase 1, Axil launched a private credit Vault on R25 and successfully surpassed $130 million in TVL, validating the reliability of this infrastructure. The registration channel for the first batch of managers is now open.

Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5 this Monday, as an upgraded version of Sonnet 5 launched in June this year.

The Circle Foundation announced two grants to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Food Programme (WFP) to explore the application of digital payments and digital financial infrastructure in humanitarian aid and development projects.The Circle Foundation stated that the relevant programs will study how to utilize digital payments and regulated payment-type stablecoins to disburse funds to aid recipients more quickly, transparently, and at a lower cost.For the UNDP, the grant will be used to establish and operate a "Digital Asset Innovation Pool," helping country offices expand previous digital payment pilot projects conducted in Syria, Haiti, Guatemala, and Gambia from single projects to regular project execution, and provide support such as regulation, operations, and beneficiary protection; this mechanism will not replace traditional banking channels but will serve as a complementary option outside the existing payment system.For the WFP, the grant will support the establishment of governance, risk management, funding, reconciliation systems, and compliance tools necessary for stablecoin payments, and integrate local fintech and mobile payment services. Over the next three years, the WFP plans to test 2 to 3 payment channels connecting its payment system with local financial service providers and markets to assess the performance of stablecoin payments in terms of efficiency, transparency, and resilience.

According to Fortune, the venture capital firm Solari Capital has officially announced its emergence from stealth mode. Founder AJ Scaramucci (son of Anthony Scaramucci) has deployed approximately $350 million since the company's inception, covering early-stage investments, late-stage growth rounds, and internal incubation businesses.Solari is focused on four major tracks centered around the core argument of "programmable reality": programmable intelligence (AI/large models, including xAI, Suno), programmable biology (gene therapy, longevity technology, including Tessera Therapeutics, Cambrian Bio), programmable materials (aerospace, energy, robotics, including Varda Space, Northwood Space), and programmable finance (blockchain infrastructure, DeFi, including Genius Terminal, Architect Financial). In addition, Scaramucci has included collectibles (comics, trading cards, dinosaur fossils) in the investment landscape, viewing them as "cultural value storage" assets alongside gold and Bitcoin, and claims that this market has a scale of $25 trillion, which has not yet been fully tapped by institutional capital.The investor lineup behind the company includes well-known Silicon Valley figures such as Ron Conway, Jim Breyer, and Eric Schmidt.

U.S. President Trump stated that the U.S. may strike Iran's "Mount Hekla" and urged Tehran to exercise caution. Trump mentioned at the Republican midterm election conference that he noticed activities at "Mount Hekla" and advised Iran not to play tricks, or else it would face severe consequences.

Uniswap founder Hayden posted on the X platform, stating that correlated trading pairs are forming. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by trading volume serve as "bridge" trading pairs connecting other common underlying trading pairs, primarily linking to tokenized stocks with higher correlations. This type of market is characterized by globalization, programmability, low costs, and 24/7 operation.Hayden stated that he has been working on the forefront of DeFi for 9 years and believes that AMM has enormous potential. After years of evolution and development, the path for AMM to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. Tokenization has changed the existence of markets, market makers, and the objects of market trading. Since its launch, Uniswap has been operating autonomously, with a cumulative trading volume exceeding $4.6 trillion, and has increased the share of spot trading volume on decentralized exchanges from less than 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern that most financial markets have yet to notice: correlated trading pairs. AMMs have found a product-market fit in long-tail markets, as most assets previously could not attract the attention of professional market makers. DeFi and AMM have lowered the barriers to market making, opening the market to more participants. Liquidity will concentrate in the places with the lowest risk, rather than being forced to remain in places constrained by traditional infrastructure.
