According to a report by ZDNet Korea on October 15, Samsung Electronics has lowered its production plan for mid-range and low-end smartphones in the fourth quarter. The reasons include rising prices of memory chips and disruptions in the supply of glass fiber used in PCB raw materials CCL. Japan's Nitto Denko is shifting more production capacity towards T-glass for AI semiconductors, reducing the output of E-glass for smartphone PCBs, leading to supply shortages and price increases. E-glass is used in semi-cured sheets for smartphone motherboards HDI and RFPCB.The report states that after the rise in storage prices increased manufacturing costs, Samsung reduced orders for related components. Models like the Galaxy A have lower profitability, making it difficult to significantly increase production. This year, the prices of basic mid-range models have risen by more than 100,000 Korean Won compared to the previous generation. The outlook for component orders communicated to partners for the fourth quarter corresponds to an annual smartphone shipment volume of just over 230 million units, which is below the component industry's expectation of 240 million units and represents a decrease of 20% to 30% compared to before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Plans for the mobile business next year have not been shared with partners as in previous years.The monthly production outlook for the fourth quarter in mid-September was 14.3 million units in October, 9.5 million units in November, and 7.6 million units in December, totaling 31.4 million units. This was adjusted at the beginning of this month to 9.9 million units in October, 7.6 million units in November, and 6.7 million units in December, totaling 24.2 million units, a reduction of 23%. While the production of mid-range and low-end models has been lowered, the shipment plans for flagship models like the Galaxy S27 at the beginning of next year remain at a high level, and the shipment volume for foldable phones is also planned to increase. The MX and Network divisions reported a loss of 735 billion Korean Won in the second quarter, with the securities industry projecting an annual loss of 400 billion Korean Won.

The liquid staking token bOSMO issued by Backbone Labs nearly exhausted its contract support after a large redemption in the Osmosis community pool. A disclosure on the Osmosis forum on October 15 revealed that approximately 40,508 OSMO were designated for compensation to 1,037 accounts. The disclosure author Johnny Wyles stated that the staking contract has overpaid for each redemption since at least April 2026, settling at approximately 1.676 OSMO per bOSMO, while the declared exchange rate of the contract was about 1.117 OSMO.The vulnerability repeatedly counted the OSMO staked on Backbone's own validators, allowing redeemers to receive about 50% more assets, at the cost of diluting the support for remaining holders. The defect was exposed when preparing to liquidate the community pool position, and the passed governance proposal 1049 authorized the withdrawal of the Margined managed treasury position and the destruction of the reclaimed OSMO when it ceased managing liquidity operations. The pool's bOSMO treasury holds approximately 1.137 million bOSMO, accounting for about 97% of the total supply of the token; the redemption transaction executed on October 9 at 21:59 ET destroyed 776,000 bOSMO and began unbinding approximately 1.3 million OSMO.Compensation is based on the qualified balance at block 72,237,940, calculated at 1.1174 OSMO per bOSMO. bOSMO purchased after the snapshot is not included in the compensation, and underlying holders in the liquidity pool and other contracts are also included;

Solana ecosystem R&D company Anza announced that the Alpenglow mainnet test version will be activated on October 21, 2026, at 14:50 (UTC). After the upgrade is completed, transaction finality is expected to shorten from approximately 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds.Alpenglow will replace the existing TowerBFT voting mechanism with Votor, allowing validators to not write every vote to the chain but instead confirm consensus through direct communication and summarizing into smaller records. The network is expected to maintain the existing system for about 18 minutes, switching to Votor after staking SOL reaches 82% of the validator set. Another component of Alpenglow, Rotor, will adjust the distribution method of new blocks among validators, but the activation date has not yet been announced. This upgrade only includes Votor, and Solana will temporarily focus on the replacement of the consensus mechanism.
