Telegram has set its self-hosted Gram wallet as the default wallet in user settings, while renaming Wallet in Telegram to Walt. Telegram founder Pavel Durov previewed the Gram wallet in July, planning to introduce a native non-custodial wallet for each Telegram app.The Gram wallet will serve as the transaction layer for transfers and payments on Telegram, supporting the purchase of Telegram Collectibles (including gifts, usernames, and phone numbers) as well as services and daily consumption payments. The Gram wallet remains connected to Walt, which allows users to recharge their Gram wallet with multi-chain crypto assets.The renaming of Wallet in Telegram reflects that its services have surpassed the initial positioning primarily for purchasing and holding Gram (formerly Toncoin). Walt supports recharging, holding, and withdrawing over 300 crypto assets across 4 blockchains, as well as trading more than 200 assets, and offers over 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, and metals. The product also includes crypto yield services and perpetual contracts. The Open Platform (TOP) and Walt founder and CEO Andrew Rogozov stated that they initially started as a simple wallet for purchasing TON, but over the past four years have grown into a full-scale crypto platform within Telegram, launching Earn, real-world assets, and perpetual trading.

According to a report by South Korea's Seoul Economic Daily on August 31, the prices of HBM and DRAM used in AI accelerators continue to rise. Data from the Korea Trade Association shows that DRAM export volume decreased from approximately 681.7 million units in May to 591.74 million units in July, a decline of 13.2%. However, the export value increased from $11.428 billion to $13.552 billion, a growth of 18.5%, with the export unit price rising from $16.76 to $22.9, an increase of 36.6%.The supply of HBM4 to customers such as Nvidia is expanding, but the initial yield is lower than that of HBM3E, exacerbating the overall DRAM supply shortage. Samsung Electronics' memory division is reportedly planning to allocate about 70% of its capacity to long-term supply agreements until 2031, with major clients including Nvidia, Microsoft, and Google. Mega Grid Supply data shows that the spot price for HBM3E 36GB is $2,100, approximately 4 to 5 times the long-term contract price; the spot price for HBM4 16-layer, which is in mass production coordination, is about $3,500.The financial investment community expects Samsung Electronics' third-quarter revenue to reach 206.64 trillion won and operating profit to reach 116.38 trillion won, with operating profit expected to exceed 100 trillion won for the first time. SK Hynix's third-quarter revenue is expected to be 101.76 trillion won, with operating profit of 79.16 trillion won. Samsung Electronics is considering converting its only wafer foundry line S5 in the Pyeongtaek campus to memory production as early as next year.

The Taiwanese prosecutors stated that they are investigating the global leading chip substrate and printed circuit board manufacturer, Unimicron Technology Corporation, which is a key supplier for NVIDIA, Intel, Google, and Amazon. The investigation targets the company for allegedly mislabeling parts made in China as being produced in Taiwan, which may violate laws prohibiting the laundering of origin.Unimicron Technology Corporation is one of the world's top printed circuit board manufacturers, and this investigation occurs against the backdrop of the United States cracking down on transshipment.

According to Mobile Payment Network, Lu Lei, a member of the Party Committee and Vice President of the People's Bank of China, stated at the 15th China Payment Clearing Forum that intelligent agent payments must not blur the boundaries of responsibility between consumers, operating institutions, and algorithm systems. Lu Lei believes that the essence of payment is the transfer of fund ownership, which objectively requires that the results of transactions are predictable, responsibilities are definable, and traces are traceable. Large models and autonomous intelligent agents have characteristics such as output randomness and insufficient transparency of logic. If transaction decision-making authority is blindly or excessively granted to intelligent agents, it will affect the trust foundation of fund transactions. The current governance rules of the payment industry and dispute resolution mechanisms are built around "humans as the final decision-makers in transactions." The new model of intelligent agents automatically initiating and assisting in transactions easily blurs the boundaries of responsibility, and the existing governance rules need to be optimized and improved.Regarding the issue of insufficient compatibility of protocol standards in the field of intelligent agent payments, Lu Lei emphasized that the dispute over protocols is essentially a dispute over business rules and technical standards, as well as a struggle for dominance in the era of artificial intelligence. The People's Bank of China continues to strengthen its tracking research on technological innovation, especially intelligent agent payments, guiding the Payment Clearing Association to leverage its advantages in industry self-regulation. Based on extensive soliciting of opinions, they will formulate and publish the "Self-Regulatory Convention for Intelligent Agent Payment Applications," and will continue to work on coordinating protocols and standards, as well as innovating risk governance. Lu Lei proposed three hopes to market institutions: actively respond to and implement the industry self-regulatory convention, with payment security and risk prevention as the bottom line, and consumer rights protection as the focal point; continuously track the trends of cutting-edge technologies such as large models and intelligent agents both domestically and internationally, and build technical reserves and application capabilities; adhere to the principle of rules and standards first, strengthen coordination and compatibility among different protocols and standards, and cooperate with regulatory authorities to promote the construction of a foundational protocol and technical standard system for intelligent agent payments.

Blockstream stated that Jade is not affected by the Coldcard random number generator vulnerability and has released firmware 1.41 after receiving extensive AI-assisted security reviews. Jade indicated that it has undergone dozens of automated AI scans and multiple manual reviews, focusing on sensitive areas such as random number generation and transaction signing.The new firmware enhances stack protection, updates dependencies, audits sensitive memory cleanup processes, and upgrades the Jade runtime environment. Blockstream claims that Jade's random number generation mechanism uses multiple entropy sources, including hardware chip noise, timing data, sensor data, and camera noise, and mixes them using SHA-512 to prevent a single entropy source failure from affecting seed generation. The team stated that other lower-severity findings are still being addressed, and firmware 1.42 is expected to be released in a shorter development cycle.
