first_img Blockchain Space Company Gattaca released the Ethereum consensus client Silver

The blockchain infrastructure company Gattaca announced the launch of the open-source Ethereum consensus client Silver. The company operates the Ethereum block builder Titan Builder and the relay Titan Relay. Gattaca stated that Silver was built from scratch, aiming to support shorter time slots and post-quantum security while maintaining decentralization, censorship resistance, privacy, and security. Currently, Silver is in the alpha stage, with audits and final testing yet to be completed.Gattaca claims that Silver's state transition function has a p99 latency of less than 10 milliseconds, approximately 10 times faster than other clients. During the mainnet window from October 17 to 20, 2026, Silver, Prysm, Lighthouse, and Grandine processed the same 20,300 canonical blocks. The median block processing latency for Silver was 6.5 milliseconds, with a p99 of 9.5 milliseconds, and the slowest block in the sample was 17.8 milliseconds; the second-lowest median was 33.5 milliseconds, and the second-lowest p99 was 91 milliseconds. All four clients operated as supernodes, subscribing to all 64 proof subnets and hosting all 128 data columns, with the executing client being ethrex v29.0.1.The above comparison used consensus processing metrics available for each client, excluding execution client processing time. Silver is based on Gattaca's Flux framework, using six threads bound to CPU cores for parallel processing, and comes with a low-latency peer-to-peer network, state hash library, formally verified BLS and KZG cryptographic libraries, and a node cluster for penalty protection. In another comparison, supernodes needed to verify about 32 times the proofs and about 16 times the KZG unit proofs relative to the default configuration, with block processing latency and resident memory still within a similar range.

The situation between Russia and Ukraine and the interest rate hike bets triggered fluctuations in gold and silver, with Gate XAG and XAU contracts maintaining a leading position in industry trading volume

The unresolved ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has led to a rebound in crude oil prices, and the market's bets on another interest rate hike before the end of the year are heating up, putting pressure on the gold and silver markets once again. According to CoinGlass data, gold (XAU) is currently priced at $4,183.22, with a 24-hour decline of 0.61%; silver (XAG) is currently priced at $60.25, with a 24-hour decline of 1.42%.During the market fluctuations, the trading volume of related contracts on Gate has continued to rise: the trading volume of Gate silver contracts reached $124 million in 24 hours, ranking second in the industry; the trading volume of Gate gold contracts reached $363 million in 24 hours, firmly holding third place in the industry; meanwhile, the open interest of Gate XAU gold contracts reached $411 million, ranking second in the industry.Gate has pioneered the trading sector for perpetual metal contracts and CFD contracts, covering mainstream metal trading targets such as gold, silver, and platinum, supporting 24/7 trading and USDT settlement. Relying on Gate's innovative unified account system, users can configure diverse assets such as stocks, metals, foreign exchange, indices, and commodities without cross-platform operations, helping users achieve a more flexible and efficient one-stop global asset strategy layout amid volatile markets.
