On November 12, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han was invited to speak at the Oxford Union, delivering a keynote speech titled "Start Alone," reflecting on his 13 years of entrepreneurial journey since founding Gate alone in 2013. He shared experiences and thoughts on entrepreneurial resilience, rapid innovation, team building, and opportunities for entrepreneurship in the AI era.Dr. Han stated that the founding of Gate stemmed from his early experiences of losses incurred through trading on online forums. To create a more trustworthy digital asset trading platform, he started his business alone without external venture capital support. Since then, Gate has experienced multiple industry fluctuations and significant business challenges, gradually growing through continuous innovation and adjustments. He emphasized that maintaining a strong long-term belief, quickly seizing new opportunities, and continuously improving innovation and execution efficiency are crucial factors for companies to face challenges and achieve long-term development.Regarding the AI era, Dr. Han proposed the "Boss + AI" model, pointing out that AI can significantly enhance information acquisition, knowledge learning, and daily work efficiency, empowering individual entrepreneurs with stronger execution capabilities.

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.

Samsung Electronics plans to complete the development of advanced packaging technology 3D Cube-H by early 2027 and finish the first design kit, followed by evaluations with potential customers. This technology achieves vertical stacking of chips based on hybrid bonding, primarily targeting high-performance AI semiconductors, which can be used to stack logic chips such as GPUs or integrate logic chips on memory chips like HBM.Samsung Electronics has previously developed 3D Cube-T using thermocompression bonding technology and is currently advancing 3D Cube-H with a terminal pitch of about 6 micrometers, while the minimum terminal pitch for thermocompression bonded chips is about 25 micrometers. Hybrid bonding connects copper materials directly between chips, allowing for reduced terminal pitch, increased connection density, and lower energy consumption per bit, with thermal characteristics that differ from thermocompression bonding solutions.

EEZ launched the Rollup X development network at Devcon, demonstrating the invocation of Ethereum mainnet liquidity and cross-chain contracts within a single transaction.

According to CryptoBriefing, the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ), jointly initiated by Gnosis and Zisk and funded by the Ethereum Foundation, launched the Rollup X development testnet (devnet) at Devcon 8 to demonstrate synchronous composability. The EEZ aims to connect applications on dedicated chains through Ethereum's neutral infrastructure, enabling atomic cross-chain execution, allowing one EEZ rollup or a contract on the Ethereum mainnet to call another contract in a single transaction, with ETH as the default gas token, without introducing new tokens.The EEZ is governed by a Swiss non-profit organization, with alliance members including Aave, Safe, and Centrifuge. Gnosis Chain plans to migrate to the EEZ rollup in the spring of 2027, becoming the first major active network to test this framework. The report notes that its risks lie in the high technical difficulty, and multi-system atomic execution may expand the attack surface.

According to CoinDesk, after the Democratic Party won the U.S. midterm elections and will control both houses of Congress, Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that the foundation for the development of the cryptocurrency industry is stronger than the efforts of the previous Congress. The industry has characteristics of bipartisanship, globalization, and institutionalization, and will not stagnate due to election results.Grayscale previously estimated that 80% to 85% of global cryptocurrency activity occurs outside the United States; however, this data is only indicative, and some metrics cover all of North America. BlackRock's digital assets head Robert Mitchnick stated before the election results were announced that the election would have "little impact" on their product issuance and capital inflows, as Bitcoin and Ethereum already possess most of the regulatory clarity required for investment products.

ViaBTC mining pool and CoinEx trading platform founder and CEO Yang Haipo posted on X, commenting on the Binance security incident. He stated that the incident exposed at least three avoidable mistakes, which do not require complex technology; what is lacking is discipline.Yang Haipo pointed out that first, the development and operation environments were not completely isolated. Personnel with production environment permissions should use dedicated devices and not install third-party software; coding, chatting, and web browsing should be done on another device. Second, the operation and maintenance system lacked effective dual verification. A single key could operate production services, and once the key was leaked, attackers could gain full production access. He believes that production operations could be conducted in a manner similar to AWS browser-based Session Manager, using hardware security keys as a second factor to prevent a single credential leak from constituting a breach. Third, MPC multi-signature is merely nominal; the signers did not perform substantial independent verification of the transactions. Compromising one node could render the entire mechanism ineffective, resulting in the same effect as a single signature. Multi-signature is only effective when the signers do not trust each other, independently verify the transaction itself, rather than trusting upstream requests.On November 3, Binance released preliminary investigation results regarding the security incident on October 29. Binance stated that approximately $6.34 billion in digital assets were affected, and as of the update, about $2.85 billion had been frozen or intercepted, with 98% of the affected tokens having been replenished. The report indicated that attackers gained unauthorized access to the internal wallet signature service and exploited Ethereum EIP-7702 to authorize the hot wallet; due to the hot wallet using multi-party computation, it could not immediately revoke the relevant authorization with a single private key. Binance cited information from the FBI stating that North Korea is responsible for this incident.

On November 3, the National Development and Reform Commission held a series of press conferences on advancing the "14th Five-Year Plan," introducing information on cultivating and strengthening new driving forces. Wang Ruomeng, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation and High Technology Development of the National Development and Reform Commission, stated that there is a broad consensus in society on the coexistence of opportunities and risks in artificial intelligence. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, development and security will be coordinated, with security integrated throughout the research, application, and governance of artificial intelligence.Wang Ruomeng emphasized four key areas of work.
