Ethereum developer Marchhill submitted the draft EIP-8437, proposing to propagate proof wrapper data through the eth/73 protocol and introducing an optional mode that allows transactions to submit raw signatures to the aggregator without pre-generating STARK proofs.This proposal supports the direct propagation of certified packages with transactions and performs independent checks of specified programs in resource-constrained sandboxes to verify witness data. The new program does not require the development of native adapters for each signature scheme separately. Additionally, the proposal plans to limit the batch queue size, clean up expired transactions, and recheck records before formally generating proofs to support failure retries.Currently, the proposal is still in the Draft stage and has not yet been merged. The developer pointed out that VM and key binding consistency verification, cryptographic verification, and performance testing are still incomplete, and benchmarking has not yet been conducted.

U.S. Republican Senator Kevin Cramer accepted an interview with POLITICO and publicly called for Jensen Huang to resign as CEO of NVIDIA. He believes that Huang's extramarital affair poses a serious potential blackmail risk, especially considering that NVIDIA holds highly sensitive AI chip technology. Cramer stated, "The risk of being blackmailed is just too great; I think he must go."Cramer is a member of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is reviewing several bills aimed at strengthening export controls on advanced AI chips. He believes that while it is certainly possible for NVIDIA's board to initiate an internal investigation, it is far from enough. Earlier that day, Larry Kudlow, the former director of the White House National Economic Council during Trump's first term, also publicly urged on Fox Business, "Mr. Huang, resign now." He believes this is a reasonable action for Jensen Huang to take at this time.As the controversy escalates, the U.S. Congress is also accelerating its scrutiny of NVIDIA's chip exports. The three bills under consideration by the Senate Banking Committee involve strengthening export approvals for advanced chips, tracking the destination of chips, and restricting the export of certain semiconductor manufacturing equipment. These bills are vying to be included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act and have not yet been fully passed.

Initia posted on platform X to disclose the progress of the security incident investigation, stating that on November 9, attackers exploited leaked GCP keys (used to configure private nodes) to illegally access Initia's infrastructure through a command injection attack, thereby obtaining its GitHub, GCP accounts, and more credentials, and gaining access to the Rollup hosting platform Anvil, which was used to forge 5 IBC withdrawals for Rollup validation, unlocking assets in Initia's L1 IBC hosting account.Approximately $3.27 million in assets was transferred to the attackers' address, while another $2.16 million in stolen funds remains on the suspended L1 and cannot be transferred. After selling the stolen assets on Initia DEX, the attackers withdrew 13,400 TIA, 8,000 USDC.inj, and 597,000 Noble USDC, without transferring any INIT.

The non-profit research organization Ethlabs stated that the EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 in the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade involve adjustments to Gas costs and billing mechanisms, which may affect some already deployed smart contracts. Ethlabs recommends postponing modifications to the upgrade specifications or determining the fork date for the Hoodi testnet until the results of external audits are published and the relevant impacts are clarified. The final decision will be made by the Ethereum Core Developers Meeting (ACD).The two external audits commissioned by the Ethereum Foundation from ChainSecurity and Dedaub are expected to be published before November 16. On the same day, a public Q&A will be held during the ACD testing meeting. The ACD executive meeting on November 19 is expected to discuss the audit results and may decide whether to modify the upgrade specifications.Glamsterdam aims to increase the Ethereum Gas limit per block from 60 million to 200 million. Ethlabs pointed out that adjustments to Gas costs may affect contracts and tools with hardcoded operational costs, and changes in the billing mechanism may also cause some deployed contracts to exhibit unexpected behavior. For example, after an internal call rollback, the remaining Gas returned by gasleft() may actually increase, affecting the contract's judgment on whether the call failed due to Gas exhaustion.
