The Ontology mainnet has suspended block production due to a security review, and user assets have not been affected

According to the Ontology blog, its core development team discovered potential security vulnerabilities during routine security checks. Due to a high emphasis on the security and integrity of the mainnet, Ontology has immediately suspended block production on the Ontology mainnet to allow the technical team and validators to conduct a comprehensive security review of the network and related components. Ontology stated that no security incidents have been confirmed at this time, and there are no indications that user assets have been lost or stolen. ONT, ONG, and other on-chain assets are currently assessed to be unaffected; this suspension is a preventive security measure rather than a response to confirmed asset losses or ongoing attacks.During the review period, block production will remain suspended, and on-chain transactions cannot be processed. Users do not need to transfer or take any action regarding their ONT, ONG, and other on-chain assets, but should avoid conducting time-sensitive on-chain transactions until the network officially confirms its restoration. The duration of the suspension has not yet been determined, and the team will prioritize the comprehensiveness of the security review over speed; block production will not resume until the network has been thoroughly assessed and confirmed to be secure. The Ontology team is collaborating with validators and ecosystem partners to address this matter and will update progress through official channels, with a separate announcement to be made before and after the network restoration.

Short-term yields on U.S. Treasuries have risen, as the market expects the Federal Reserve may need to raise short-term interest rates

U.S. short-term Treasury yields rose. Federal Reserve Chairman Waller emphasized in a highly anticipated speech that the Fed needs to curb rising consumer prices, alleviating some market concerns about its ability to combat inflation.During Waller's speech, short-term U.S. Treasuries were sold off, while long-term Treasuries rose. The yield on the two-year Treasury increased by 5 basis points to 4.28%, while the 30-year yield decreased by 1 basis point to 5.19%. These changes indicate that the market expects the Fed may need to raise short-term rates. Since Waller held his first press conference in June, bond traders have had doubts about his policy stance. At that time, Waller emphasized the need to lower inflation and showed a hawkish stance.Since the global economy reopened from the pandemic in 2021, U.S. inflation has remained above the Fed's 2% target. However, in July, the Fed again kept rates unchanged, and Waller did not indicate whether a rate hike might occur this year. Subsequently, long-term Treasury yields surged as traders demanded higher returns to compensate for the risks posed by rising inflation.Waller warned on Friday that inflation has not shown meaningful signs of slowing and stated that policymakers must be confident that inflation is improving; otherwise, the central bank "has work to do." He also reiterated that policymakers will bring the inflation rate back to the 2% target and emphasized that this goal is clear and fixed.
