Succinct's zero-knowledge proof system SP1 has revealed a high-severity reliability vulnerability. This vulnerability was disclosed through GitHub announcement GHSA-p7v2-jjv3-8p8f, affecting SP1's native Rust verifier versions 6.0 to 6.8.0, allowing the mainnet Prover Network to potentially accept invalid proofs: malicious provers can submit proofs of invalid executions, and the network verifiers will still accept them.The cause of the vulnerability is that the verifier only reads the labels of the data (declaration dimensions) without verifying whether the actual number of stored elements equals the product of the dimensions, allowing attackers to forge labels to pass invalid proofs. The Groth16 and Plonk checks using fixed-shape wrap proofs are unaffected, and the on-chain Solidity checker is also safe. Succinct released the fixed version 6.8.1 on September 24, which has been deployed to the mainnet; this version adds deserialization length checks.The vulnerability was discovered by Vitalis Salis and reported through the Immunefi bug bounty program. Users running the native Rust verifier and accepting untrusted provers need to upgrade to 6.8.1.

According to a report by Forbes on Friday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is preparing to reform its voluntary disclosure program, planning to reduce penalties and expedite the processing of tax violation cases, including those involving cryptocurrency.Jarod Koopman, head of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, stated that the agency aims to launch the revised program before December and to close cases within 120 days after taxpayers complete the required submission process. He noted that the new plan will not establish a separate disclosure channel for digital assets but will apply the same voluntary disclosure procedures to other forms of tax noncompliance. Koopman also mentioned that the penalties under the revised program will be significantly lower than current levels, although he did not provide specific amounts. The IRS is considering allowing taxpayers to settle debts through installment payments or settlement offers.According to Forbes, the current program often takes a year or longer to complete and primarily targets taxpayers who intentionally fail to comply with tax laws and may face criminal prosecution, rather than those who make reporting errors due to negligence. Meanwhile, legislative efforts are advancing another voluntary disclosure program aimed at cryptocurrency taxpayers. Section 502 of the Digital Asset Taxation Certainty Act will establish a correction process with clear penalty standards for past violations, and the bill was passed by the House Ways and Means Committee in September.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has released proposed rules for the implementation of the COINS Act, planning to further expand restrictions on foreign investments in sensitive technology sectors concerning certain "countries of concern." The current system primarily covers entities related to China, and the proposed rules aim to tighten restrictions in areas such as AI and semiconductors, extending the regulatory framework to more sensitive technologies and countries.In the field of AI, some investments that can still be made under the current rules after declaration are proposed to be further prohibited; in the semiconductor sector, high-bandwidth memory, photonic chips, and radiation-resistant chips are also included in the scope of stricter restrictions. Meanwhile, biotechnology has been added as a key regulatory area, involving directions such as brain-computer interfaces and automated laboratory software.

According to etnet, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, Christopher Hui, stated that Hong Kong's progress in tokenization is moving from the experimental stage to the implementation stage.

Bitcoin core developer Antoine Poinsot announced an adjustment to the security vulnerability disclosure policy in the Bitcoin development mailing list. He stated that in the past, vulnerabilities were often kept secret for a long time to allow users to complete upgrades before details were made public, but this also led to fixes not being backported to older versions, requiring users to wait for the next major release. Poinsot pointed out that large language models make some vulnerabilities very easy to rediscover, and the protection that continued delays in fixing can provide is now quite limited.According to the new policy, vulnerabilities deemed "easy to discover" will be fixed as soon as possible in all maintained major versions, with security announcements released simultaneously. This classification applies to vulnerabilities that can be discovered with minimal effort, such as through simple LLM prompts. Other vulnerabilities will still follow the disclosure timeline based on severity: low-severity vulnerabilities will be disclosed two weeks after the major release containing the fix; medium to high-severity vulnerabilities will be disclosed two weeks after the last affected version reaches its end of life (usually one year after the fix is released in a new major version). Critical vulnerabilities are not covered by the standard policy and may require ad hoc procedures.Bitcoin ecosystem security researcher Luke de Wolf stated that he previously disagreed with Poinsot's security strategy but believes this update is a good adjustment. In August of this year, the volunteer-based Bitcoin Red Team reported nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects, with only about one-fifth being reproducible at that time. In the same month, Core Lightning developers urged operators to upgrade or take nodes offline after receiving multiple AI-generated vulnerability reports, while keeping technical details confidential for two weeks.

The Ministry of Commerce previously clarified that technologies that have entered the public domain through open-source are not included in the management scope, and there are automatic licensing and other facilitative measures for new technology open-sourcing, which can basically be reported and released immediately. Providing model services overseas through API, web pages, and apps is also not within the scope of this large model technology export management.

Among peers, HSBC is considering cutting up to 20,000 jobs over the next few years, while Standard Chartered plans to reduce support department positions by more than 15% by 2030.

Imran Khan, co-founder of Alliance, expressed his views on a16z crypto's shift towards cutting-edge technology. He stated that he is always grateful to a16z for leading the investment in Coinbase in 2013, which provided external validation for the crypto industry; Marc Andreessen's 2014 article "Why Bitcoin Matters" in The New York Times pushed him to shift his career towards Bitcoin.Imran Khan mentioned that at that time, very few institutions or funds were willing to publicly support crypto, and a16z and USV were two funds that took on brand risk. Since then, a large number of talents have entered and reshaped the crypto industry. He believes that the current infrastructure development in artificial intelligence has a practical connection with Bitcoin mining infrastructure and the talent flowing from crypto to artificial intelligence.He stated that the shift from crypto to cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, biology, artificial intelligence, energy, and computing power means that the talents and capabilities built in crypto over the past decade can be applied to a broader range of fields. He cited the resistance faced by data centers as an example, noting that crypto also faced opposition, but traditional finance has now accepted crypto to a certain extent. He believes that cutting-edge technology is the next generation of technology builders, and the world often recognizes the importance of new technologies many years later.
