Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that Core Lightning version 26.06.7 has been released, fixing multiple vulnerabilities disclosed responsibly over the past three weeks. The AI-generated security reports for the open-source Bitcoin project have recently increased, and specific vulnerability information will be kept confidential for two weeks to allow node operators to complete upgrades before the technical details and source code are disclosed.Developers warn that immediate disclosure of the fixes could allow attackers to reverse-engineer the vulnerabilities and subsequently attack nodes that have not yet been updated. All Core Lightning node operators should upgrade immediately. Currently, the Docker image is not available, and developers explicitly warn users not to wait for the Docker image.

According to the official webpage, the voting phase for the Solana double deflation proposal has ended, with a voter participation rate of 60.69%. Among the votes, 67% were in favor, the opposition rate was 25.16%, and the abstention rate was 7.84%, with the approval rate reaching the required 2/3 support threshold for passage. The proposal aims to reduce the inflation rate of SOL to about half of its original rate, increasing the deflation rate to 30%. Based on current estimates, this proposal will reduce the issuance of SOL by approximately 18.9 million over the next six years.In addition, the voting phase for the resource and fee inclusion proposal has ended, with a voter participation rate of 61.14%. Among the votes, 53.9% were in favor, the opposition rate was 18.92%, and the abstention rate was 27.18%, with the approval rate not reaching the required 2/3 support threshold for passage. This proposal suggests introducing a transaction fee mechanism based on resource consumption, charging fees according to the network resources consumed by transactions, which is expected to increase the daily burn rate of SOL from the current approximately 650 to between 7500 and 9000.

Samsung Electronics has launched the passport-type foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Fold8 this year, and the supply of display driver chips (DDI) is tight. The demand for Z Fold8 has exceeded expectations, and Samsung is increasing component orders. However, this DDI is designed by Samsung's System LSI Division and produced by Taiwan's foundry UMC using a 22-nanometer process, which has reached its production capacity limit, making it difficult to advance the production schedule.Industry insiders say that UMC's 22-nanometer production line is also manufacturing other chips, and Samsung's request for super urgent service was rejected. Samsung plans to prioritize the DDI quantity originally reserved for development next year for mass production this year. The typical time from wafer to finished product takes about 4 months, and the finished product is then assembled after being bonded with Samsung's OLED. Samsung is also increasing orders for hinges and ultra-thin glass (UTG). The demand for Z Flip8 is in line with lower expectations, and Apple also plans to launch a passport-type foldable product in the second half of this year.

The cryptocurrency exchange Kraken recently temporarily locked some customer accounts due to nearly 12,000 small transfers sent from wallets marked by Arkham Intelligence as belonging to competitor HTX to Kraken-associated addresses between August 17 and 24. Each transfer ranged from a few cents to several dollars. Kraken stated that this method, known as dusting attacks, exploits the arbitrary transfer characteristics of public blockchains to associate sanctioned funds with unrelated users, thereby triggering sanction screening mechanisms.The Kraken compliance team has restored user access while continuing to freeze the relevant sanctioned funds and cooperating with authorities to ensure the attack does not achieve its intended effect. HTX responded that an internal review found no official accounts involved in the related small transactions and is investigating whether the sending wallets were misidentified or operated by third parties. The UK sanctioned HTX in May, and the EU included it in a trading ban in July, which took effect on August 23, coinciding with the timing of the attack.

According to CoinDesk, the developers of the Bitcoin Lightning Network payment software Core Lightning (CLN) issued an urgent warning to node operators after the team received a large number of AI-generated security reports, revealing several real vulnerabilities. The development team advised operators not to directly shut down the machine power but to restart the software in "--offline" mode, which stops communication with other Lightning Network nodes while still keeping it operational to continuously monitor the Bitcoin blockchain and protect the funds in the payment channels.The Core Lightning team began receiving a large number of AI-generated vulnerability reports since early August, some of which have been confirmed to be valid. Developers will keep the details confidential for two weeks to complete the patch development and plan to release a signed patch version for operators to verify the source. The source code and vulnerability details will be made public after the confidentiality period ends.This is the second AI-related security incident in the Lightning Network this month. Earlier in early August, BTCPay Server experienced a vulnerability that led to the leakage of credentials for some Lightning Network nodes and theft of funds. Additionally, the "Bitcoin Red Team," composed of 16 developers, used AI models to scan 390 Bitcoin code repositories at the end of July, discovering nearly 5,000 issues, 85 of which were rated as critical.

Bitcoin traded around $79,520 on Thursday, rising 1.1% in the past 24 hours, and at one point reached a high of $80,475.BlackRock's IBIT contributed $2.02 billion of this, accounting for 72% of the total inflow; Grayscale's GBTC, on the other hand, saw net outflows during the same period, with $50.4 million flowing out on Wednesday alone. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated on Twitter that in the past week, gold and Bitcoin ETFs combined saw inflows of $7 billion, setting a record for a five-day period, and noted that IBIT's inflows have turned positive year-to-date.HashKey senior researcher Tim Sun indicated that continuous inflows for over five trading days signify sustained spot demand, with the current trend occurring after a significant pullback in the $60,000 to $70,000 range. However, daily inflows have decreased from a peak of $606.3 million on August 20, with Wednesday's $232.2 million being the lowest during this period, showing that marginal buying power is weakening. Stephen Wundke from Algoz Technologies mentioned that weekly trading volume surpassed $90 billion, about twice the average level.
