Cross-chain stablecoin bridge Cashmere announces expansion plans, with the automated liquidity product Goat LP set to open to all users, followed by the launch of the main product Mountain and the token $CSM. Cashmere Bridge currently supports zero-slippage stablecoin transfers across 16 chains, and Goat Street features 6,666 goat NFTs on the Robinhood Chain. The team states that there is currently no official $CSM, and the related arrangements are part of the current plan and may change.Goat LP targets Uniswap v3 and v4 positions on the Robinhood Chain, with positions remaining in users' wallets as Uniswap NFTs. Automatic reinvestment incurs a 10% reinvestment fee, with Gas covered by the project team; automatic adjustment of ranges and automatic exits both incur a 0.15% fee. The official description refers to it as experimental software. The Mountain code has completed testing and will undergo external auditing before going live. Barn is a soulbound NFT with a maximum of 10 slots, and after issuance begins, new $CSM will be distributed every second. Goat NFTs can be permanently bound to receive issuance shares and cannot be sold or withdrawn after binding.The plan is to issue 1,000 founding Barns, with a guaranteed slot price of 0.125 ETH, whitelist at 0.25 ETH, and public auction prices dropping from 1.5 ETH to 0.25 ETH. $CSM will begin trading through the official Uniswap v4 ETH pool, while market making and tokens on Anvil have been canceled and redeployed due to technical issues. The maximum supply is planned at 666 million, with 10% allocated for official pool liquidity, 25% for the team and treasury with designated ownership, and 65% issued as the system operates. The team also plans to airdrop to Barn participants, Goat Street activators, and early users, with wallets that have listed goat NFTs on OpenSea being excluded.

Micron Technology Vice President Li Zhe stated at the Korea Semiconductor Exhibition SEDEX 2026 held at COEX in Seoul that the company is developing Edge Inference Memory (EIM) for physical AI. The industry expects this product to enter mass production in the second half of 2028. Micron is researching the use of EIM in LPDDR6 to meet the demand for low-power DRAM in applications such as autonomous driving and humanoid robots, and is in discussions with major customers regarding related products.According to a report by the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, EIM is positioned between AI chips and memory, utilizing a method of stacking LPDDR on logic chips to process inference data at high speed, although the computing architecture has not been fully disclosed. Li Zhe mentioned that current robotic AI models have about 1 billion to 2 billion parameters, with low bandwidth requirements; however, as more advanced visual language models emerge, LPDDR alone will not suffice, and HBM will eventually be used for humanoid robots. Micron anticipates that future high-performance humanoid robots will require approximately 200 GB of DRAM and 4 TB of storage, while current service robots require about 12 GB of DRAM and 256 GB of storage.Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra stated that the storage capacity of a single humanoid robot is about 10 times that of an ordinary L2+ passenger vehicle. The storage industry may enter a period of sustained demand growth for several decades around 2030, driven by the need to synchronize data from hundreds of sensors and run large models locally for millisecond-level control. Counterpoint Research predicts that global DRAM demand for humanoid robots will increase from approximately 8,300 Tbit this year to about 172,000 Tbit by 2030.

According to a report by the Financial Associated Press, Microsoft has withdrawn from a large artificial intelligence data center project developed by the UK data center company Nscale in Essex, with reports indicating that the withdrawal is related to concerns over power supply. Officials from the UK National Grid had informed Nscale that the power supply for the data center is not expected to be in place until the 2030s. Nscale is exploring whether it can generate power on-site and whether it can expedite the grid connection process.The project was previously referred to by the UK government as the largest data center in the UK, originally scheduled to open next year. As of the report, the site still appears to be just a scaffolding yard. Microsoft had originally planned to fund the construction of a supercomputer, but the collaboration has now been terminated. Following the termination of the related computing power transaction, Nscale lost its only publicly announced client for the data center in Essex. Nscale stated that its relationship with Microsoft remains strong and long-lasting, and the two parties will continue to collaborate on other overseas projects, with Microsoft still participating in another project in Norway.The Starmer government highlighted this project when announcing the UK's 2025 artificial intelligence strategy, calling it the largest autonomous artificial intelligence data center in the UK. Nscale has received support from several tech companies, including Nvidia, and plans to go public in the US this year, with a valuation potentially reaching $35 billion.

On October 17, ILITY announced on platform X that a security incident occurred with the ILITY Network, and the ILITY cross-chain bridge has been temporarily closed. They are cooperating with law enforcement agencies, cryptographic forensic experts, and investors to investigate, and have not yet disclosed the amount of losses or details of the attack.On-chain analyst Specter stated that they observed a certain wallet transferring approximately 35,700 ZEC (worth about $41 million at the time) from a privacy pool, which was then transferred to the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks via NEAR Intents and multiple addresses. Their tracking suggests that the related addresses are associated with the ILITY cross-chain bridge and claim that approximately 4.1 million ILY tokens flowed out of that bridge. Due to the privacy features of Zcash, it has not yet been confirmed whether this ZEC belongs to stolen funds or its exact relationship with the ILITY incident.

The decentralized computing network Cysic released an event report on platform X stating that its cross-chain bridge was attacked on Saturday. The attacker exploited a processing vulnerability to unauthorizedly mint 10 million CYS on the BNB Smart Chain, and the cross-chain bridge has now been suspended. Preliminary investigation results indicate that the attacker accessed the database supporting the cross-chain bridge without authorization.The report shows that the minting occurred at 12:31:38 UTC, and Cysic added the receiving address to the token contract blacklist at 13:47:52. At that time, the address still held approximately 2.8 million CYS, and transfers have been restricted. Cysic stated that this incident was limited to the message processing and minting aspects of the cross-chain bridge and did not affect the mainnet or other operational systems, nor did it result in the theft or unauthorized transfer of CYS or other assets already in user wallets.Cysic emphasized that the quantity of minted tokens alone cannot determine the final dollar loss, and related token transfers, exchanges, and actual losses are still under verification. The company has hired a security agency and plans to release a follow-up report after the current investigation phase concludes. CYS is used to coordinate incentives for users, computing power providers, governance participants, and contributors within the Cysic network.
