OpenAI has notified SpaceX that it will terminate the contract to provide models for the AI coding tool Cursor it acquired, with a suggested termination date of November 12, stating that this is the longest notice period stipulated in the contract. OpenAI expressed that the decision was difficult, as it values the widespread use of its models by developers, but due to Musk's past breaches of contract, it does not trust SpaceX to use the technology as agreed, and mentioned issues related to the use of OpenAI models during xAI training and contract problems when acquiring X.Musk stated on X that he does not care at all and referred to Sam Altman and Greg Brockman as frauds, accusing them of stealing from an open nonprofit organization. Musk was a co-founder of OpenAI but later filed a $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI and lost due to exceeding the deadline. OpenAI had attempted to acquire Cursor's developer Anysphere but was unsuccessful, while SpaceX acquired Cursor for $60 billion, with the merger completed on August 15.Michael Truel, co-founder of Cursor and now an executive at SpaceX, stated that Cursor views the OpenAI platform as neutral infrastructure and is negotiating with OpenAI, noting that OpenAI models account for 5% of Cursor's user traffic. Tom Brown, co-founder of Anthropic, stated that they will continue to expand computing power to provide the Claude model on Cursor.

Polygon disclosed multiple previously undisclosed security vulnerabilities recently fixed through two hard forks, Austin and Kyoto, which could affect its proof-of-stake network. The vulnerabilities involve Polygon's Bor and Heimdall clients, including denial-of-service risks, validator resource exhaustion, and defects affecting checkpoint and milestone processing.Polygon stated that the fixes were privately tested before being deployed to the mainnet and publicly disclosed. The most severe issue involved Heimdall, where carefully crafted transactions could force validators to perform excessive processing work, disrupting the network. The Austin hard fork also fixed two denial-of-service risks in Bor that could slow down block processing or cause node crashes. Polygon indicated that these vulnerabilities were not exploited on the mainnet, and the fixes were proactively completed before the details of the vulnerabilities were made public.

According to Coinglass data, if ETH falls below $2,388, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach $903 million. Conversely, if ETH breaks above $2,634, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach $381 million.

According to Coinglass data, if BTC falls below $75,106, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach $919 million. Conversely, if BTC breaks above $82,576, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach $667 million.

The semiconductor and AI independent research organization SemiAnalysis released a deep security report on Neocloud (new cloud), revealing various cross-tenant security vulnerabilities discovered during the ClusterMAX 3 testing period. In a four-month test covering 25 vendors and 32 clusters, the team achieved multiple instances of cross-tenant remote code execution (RCE) solely by exploiting publicly known vulnerabilities and basic configuration checks. Affected entities included banks, telecommunications companies, universities, research institutions, AI laboratories, and even a national intelligence agency.Typical issues included: shared Kubernetes control plane leading to tenant metadata visibility, container escape, exposure of BMC/IPMI management networks, incorrect configuration of InfiniBand security keys (P_Key, SA_Key, M_Key), unfortified default trust mode of BlueField DPU, Grafana monitoring dashboards using god-level API keys, and lack of VXLAN isolation in front-end networks. The report specifically pointed out a cascading vulnerability case: a misconfiguration of shared vCluster combined with software versions being two years out of date ultimately completed the POC verification of cross-tenant RCE within an afternoon.Notably, the report questioned the mainstream narrative that "AI has fundamentally changed the pace of cybersecurity": statistics on CVEs for NVIDIA GPU drivers, CUDA, PyTorch, Kubernetes, Docker, and the Linux kernel showed that there was no significant increase in vulnerabilities after the popularization of AI coding models, with most data supporting the "no change hypothesis." The report also detailed the incident where an OpenAI-trained agent attacked Hugging Face, where the AI agent achieved cluster-level privilege escalation through a message board established via Artifactory, which went undetected from May to July. While building POC verification for existing vulnerabilities, the team found that Claude Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol frequently rejected security-related requests, ultimately relying on open-source models such as DeepSeek V4, Kimi K3, and GLM-5.2 to complete the task.SemiAnalysis stated that the core issue in the Neocloud (new cloud) industry is not the new risks brought by AI, but rather the long-term absence of basic patch management, tenant isolation, and security design. They recommended that vendors establish automated security announcement monitoring systems and rectify single points of failure that could expose all users' architectural patterns.

The sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted a total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, amounting to approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, using the bot's automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, transferring the funds to Tornado Cash; the related assets have not yet been recovered.Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximum Extractable Value (MEV): the bot monitors large transactions in the Ethereum public mempool, buys before the target transaction, and sells after the transaction drives up the price, extracting profits from the price difference. As of August 28, the main contract of the bot has received a total of 117,007 ETH.MEV-Boost block construction is concentrated among a few participants, with relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute relays forwarding approximately 85% to 88% of the relevant blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan's builders independently assemble 50.3% of the blocks. The monthly extraction amount from sandwich attacks has decreased from about $10 million at the end of 2024 to about $2.5 million in October 2025.

According to Coinglass data, if ETH falls below $2,334, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach $518 million. Conversely, if ETH breaks above $2,564, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach $428 million.

According to Coinglass data, if BTC falls below $74,321, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $790 million. Conversely, if BTC breaks above $81,441, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $727 million.

According to News.bitcoin, the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), which has about 5,000 community banks, opposes the CLARITY Act, emphasizing that there is no room for compromise on the issue of stablecoin rewards. ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey stated that the "loopholes" related to stablecoin rewards must be completely closed, and there is no compromise solution. ICBA claims that stablecoins could lead to $1.3 trillion in deposits leaving the banking system and reduce local lending by $850 billion.Rebeca Romero Rainey indicated that there are no signs that cryptocurrencies will replace these deposits and reinvest them back into local communities. She also criticized the report titled "Impact of the Stablecoin Reward Ban on Bank Lending" released by the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) for downplaying banks' concerns about deposit outflows. The Senate plans to vote on the CLARITY Act on September 15; if it fails to gain the support of at least 60 senators, the bill will not proceed to further consideration and may halt progress for the foreseeable future.

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.
