According to a report by Christine D. Kim, Ethereum developers confirmed at the ACDC #186 meeting that the Glamsterdam upgrade will be activated on the Sepolia testnet on October 6 at 13:53 UTC. However, there is significant uncertainty regarding this upgrade—currently, the latest private testnet Glamsterdam-Devnet-9 is not stable, and a serious vulnerability has been discovered in the consensus layer that could cause the entire network to stop producing blocks. The execution layer EIP-8037 also has bugs that need to be fixed.Developers will launch Devnet-10 in the coming weeks, and if Devnet-10 remains unstable, the Sepolia upgrade date may be postponed. The activation schedule for the Hoodi testnet and mainnet is currently undetermined, and whether the goal of launching the mainnet by the end of the year can be achieved remains uncertain.

Vitalik posted on the X platform, expressing the hope to include the recursive STARK memory pool proposal EIP-8288 in the Ethereum I-star upgrade, stating that it can be seen as the next step after Frames.This proposal allows quantum-safe signature data to be placed off-chain, reducing the cost of signatures; the fuel cost for quantum-safe privacy transactions is also expected to drop from about 10 million to tens of thousands. The proposal relies on frames and recursive STARK aggregated transaction dependencies, with nodes sending a STARK of about 100 to 300KB each time period; the on-chain overhead is one STARK and 96 bytes for each statement to be proven.

According to The Block, the Ink Foundation, an Ethereum L2 network under Kraken, has jointly established the Charter Foundation with crypto market maker GSR, law firms Carey Olsen, Renno & Co, Cooley, Fenwick, and auditing firms ChainSecurity, Zellic, among others. The aim is to provide a standardized shared legal framework for crypto projects to reduce token issuance costs. A spokesperson for the Ink Foundation stated that the organization is unrelated to Kraken.Currently, crypto projects typically need to independently establish a "three-entity structure" that includes a research and development entity (Labs), a Cayman Islands foundation, and a British Virgin Islands (BVI) subsidiary for issuance. The setup and independent director fees before the Token Generation Event (TGE) often exceed $100,000.The Charter Foundation aims to reduce the initial legal framework costs for token issuance by more than half by establishing a dedicated Cayman Islands exempt company as the launch structure for each project, with governance involving professional offshore compliance experts. Once the token is successfully issued, the Cayman entity will convert into an independent foundation and separate from Charter, ensuring the project's long-term independence.

The law firm Harneys and the tokenization platform droppRWA plan to issue the first catastrophe bond that directly records ownership on the blockchain, with the first trading target set for early 2027. This structure will make the blockchain a legally enforceable record of ownership, with investor registration, qualification review, and payment processes all placed within the same system, reducing reconciliation time from several days to seconds, provided that the necessary regulatory approvals are obtained.The catastrophe bond market is a $65.6 billion market that allows insurance companies, reinsurance companies, and government agencies to transfer natural disaster exposure to capital market investors. The tokenized asset market has nearly tripled in the past year to over $33 billion, and Citigroup expects this sector to reach $5.5 trillion by 2030. The second quarter of 2026 is projected to be the largest quarter in catastrophe bond issuance history, with 48 transactions issuing a total of $11.3 billion, and the Bermuda Stock Exchange accounted for 93% of global catastrophe bond issuance in 2025.To lower the investment threshold, investors will not directly purchase catastrophe bond notes, which typically have a minimum denomination of $250,000, but instead purchase beneficial interests in vehicles that hold the bonds and pass through the returns, with the minimum investment amount expected to drop to $5,000. The project is still subject to applicable regulatory requirements and approvals, and any platform administrator role must be licensed under Bermuda's Digital Asset Business Act 2018.

The revenue from fees priced in SOL on Solana reached a seven-day average of nearly 9,200 SOL on August 27, an increase of over 80% compared to three months ago; the non-voting transaction volume also set a new seven-day high of 191 million transactions, compared to only 88 million transactions a year ago. Jito validator tips averaged 2,073 SOL daily over the past week, a 26% increase week-on-week, directly reflecting the increase in on-chain activity.Meanwhile, the SGP-0002 "Dual Deflation" proposal passed last Friday with just over 67% support (the threshold was 66.67%), with a voting participation rate of 60.7%, covering 1,326 validators, setting a historical high for governance participation on the Solana chain. This proposal will double the annual deflation rate from 15% to 30%, expected to reduce the planned issuance by approximately 18.9 million SOL over six years.This means that the new SOL supply entering the market each year will decrease, and the rewards for validators completing the same amount of work will also decline. Staking rewards will drop from about 5.25% to 2.25% in the third year, which will squeeze validators that rely on inflation revenue rather than transaction fees, and many validators may face losses within three years. However, this impact will mainly affect small independent operators, and ordinary users are not expected to experience significant changes in the speed and costs of using the Solana network.

According to The Defiant, the Fogo mainnet has stopped producing blocks for about 46 hours since Saturday afternoon due to an attack on the Fogo Foundation, resulting in 4 million FOGO tokens (approximately 10.3% of the circulating supply) being transferred to the attacker's address. The foundation initially stated that the chain itself was unaffected, but 15 hours later, the network was actively paused, and plans were made to restrict the related addresses through an upgrade. Currently, the Fogo official explorer shows the last block as 718,525,971, and the RPC endpoint returns a 502 error, while the on-chain TVL tracked by DefiLlama has been frozen at $987,000 for three consecutive days.This downtime is attributed to Fogo's validator design: the chain is managed by a council of 7 voting validators, with the foundation staking evenly among 7 operators, allowing for coordination to pause and implement a client-level address blacklist within minutes. On the exchange side, both KuCoin and Gate have disabled FOGO deposits and withdrawals but retained trading, with a 24-hour spot trading volume of approximately $2.3 million. Meanwhile, a Twitter account impersonating the Fogo Foundation, @FcgoFNDN, posted a false compensation voting link, and Fogo officials reminded users to rely only on information from official channels.Fogo is the second network to actively pause over the weekend, following Cronos, which rolled back its state due to an attack on the Tectonic lending protocol. Fogo raised approximately $7 million by selling 2% of its supply through Binance before launching its mainnet in January, with a valuation of $350 million. The foundation has not yet disclosed details of the attack, compensation plans, or a restart timeline.

Bitcoin News posted on platform X that the U.S. Senate plans to hold a key procedural vote on the CLARITY Act on September 15. This vote to end debate requires 60 votes in support; if it passes, the Senate will move forward with the formal consideration of the bill, but this does not mean the bill will ultimately pass.The CLARITY Act aims to establish a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for the digital asset market. Meanwhile, Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Michael Selig stated that the agency can use its existing authority to advance limited cryptocurrency regulation, but this authority cannot replace the broader framework currently under consideration by Congress.

IMF President Georgieva stated at the Jackson Hole annual meeting that stablecoins and tokenization could enhance global financial liquidity, making large cross-border payments cheaper and faster; however, stablecoins could also exacerbate currency substitution, capital flows, and exchange rate volatility, while undermining capital controls and monetary sovereignty. Dollar stablecoins may expand the global network effect of the dollar and marginally reduce U.S. financing costs, but they cannot replace fiscal discipline.This year's Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting has revealed three clear institutional divergences: BIS leans towards "marginalization of stablecoins, centralization of tokenized deposits"; ECB leans towards "central bank currencies on-chain"; while IMF acknowledges the real efficiency of stablecoins in cross-border payments but emphasizes the risks of currency substitution and capital flows in emerging markets. This has more policy implications than simply "supporting or opposing stablecoins."

In Solana's first binding on-chain governance vote, the SGP-0002 proposal aimed at accelerating the downward pace of SOL inflation passed with a support rate of 67%. This proposal, driven by the infrastructure service provider Helius, plans to increase the annual inflation adjustment rate of Solana from 15% to 30%, accelerating the network to reach a terminal inflation level of 1.5% and reducing the scale of new SOL issuance in the medium to long term.On the eve of the voting deadline, the proposal's support rate had not reached the two-thirds statutory threshold. Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz contacted major validator nodes and institutions in the final stages, and Kraken's validator node Kraken2 changed its voting position from opposition to support just before the deadline. Ultimately, the proposal received a support rate of 67%, with 25% opposed and 7.84% abstaining, and a staking participation rate of 60.7%, meeting the required number of voters. Mert Mumtaz stated that after hundreds of communications, the proposal gained crucial votes and passed in the final stages.
