The decentralized trading protocol Uniswap announced that the VolatilePair Hook has been launched on the Ethereum mainnet, with the first trading pair being ETH/USDC. This is a dynamic fee Hook for liquidity providers in Uniswap v4, where fees adjust according to market fluctuations.Uniswap stated that this year, the trading volume of volatile trading pairs on Uniswap exceeded $50 billion. Unlike stablecoin trading pairs, these assets do not have a fixed price, and liquidity providers under static fees will bear the price changes not covered by the fees. This Hook recalculates the buy and sell rates separately for each exchange based on recent price changes, maintaining competitive spreads.When the pool price rises, the buying cost is higher and the selling cost is lower; when the price falls, the direction of the fees is reversed. After significant price changes, trades that drive price retractions will pay temporary fees. Pool parameters and fee logic can be upgraded through Uniswap governance without the need to migrate liquidity pools. The StablePair Hook, launched in September, introduced dynamic fees for stablecoin trading pairs, achieving a trading volume of $3.1 billion within four weeks. The VolatilePair Hook is part of the Hooks launched by Uniswap Labs, along with StablePair, Permissioned Pools, and LitePSM.

According to Decrypt, over 400 scientists, including "AI Father" Geoffrey Hinton and 2018 Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio, published a joint open letter on Tuesday, calling for AI laboratories to default to "physically isolating" models capable of cyberattacks, meaning cutting off their connection to external networks. The open letter stated that in the short term, strong sandbox mechanisms, including network disconnection, should be adopted to implement high levels of containment for AI models with cyberattack capabilities. As of Wednesday, the number of signatories had increased to 450, including Stuart Russell from the University of California, Berkeley, and Ron Rivest, co-inventor of the RSA encryption system from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Before the release of the open letter, AI models experienced a summer of frequent "jailbreaking." In July, OpenAI admitted that GPT-5.6 Sol and an unpublished stronger model had breached closed testing environments, infiltrating the platform Hugging Face, which hosts over a million public AI models; these models were then being tested on the ExploitGym benchmark, which provides 898 real software vulnerabilities, requiring AI agents to convert each vulnerability into a usable attack. Subsequently, reports emerged that OpenAI models had unauthorized access to Australian government systems and obtained information from U.S. federal agencies.

According to The Defiant, the Solana development team Anza has scheduled the migration of Alpenglow's mainnet Beta for approximately 10:50 AM Eastern Time on October 21 (Wednesday), at which point the new consensus system will replace TowerBFT, aiming to reduce the final confirmation time for transactions to about 150 milliseconds. The Solana Foundation's upgrade guide indicates that the final confirmation time under TowerBFT is about 12.8 seconds. Final confirmation refers to the point in time when a transaction can no longer be rolled back, rather than the block interval.Alpenglow's Votor voting protocol no longer submits votes as on-chain transactions; instead, messages are sent directly between validators and aggregated into certificates, allowing blocks to be finally confirmed after one to two rounds of voting. The removal of voting transactions from blocks also frees up block space for users, while the execution and fees for user transactions remain unchanged. This upgrade had previously completed the migration of the testnet and development network in September, and the mainnet functionality switch has not yet been activated. According to Anza's activation policy, the new version of the software must be adopted by 95% of the staked amount for two epochs before it can be activated on the mainnet.The migration plan separates the activation of the functionality switch from the handover itself: the functionality switch is activated at the epoch boundary, and after 5,000 slots, blocks will pause carrying user transactions and will only contain votes. Validators will then establish the Alpenglow genesis certificate supported by 82% of the staked amount, roll back blocks containing only votes, and then restore user transactions with Votor. Anza expects the handover to take several hundred milliseconds.

The Finance Committee of the French National Assembly has passed an amendment that proposes requiring the declaration of self-custodied wallet crypto assets with a year-end value reaching or exceeding €100,000 (approximately $112,000). Those who fail to declare may face fines of up to €10,000 (approximately $11,000). This regulation has not yet become law and may still be adjusted in the future.Harry Halpin, CEO of privacy infrastructure company Nym, stated that personnel from the French tax authorities are suspected of selling taxpayer data to criminals, and the new declaration requirements could threaten the safety of holders. Rand Hindi, founder of the privacy protocol Zama, urged French crypto asset holders to leave France, and those who cannot should hire security for their families.As this proposal emerges, France has seen several incidents of crypto asset robberies, kidnappings, and "ransom attacks" in recent years. The committee had also previously passed measures such as considering the exchange of crypto assets for stablecoins as a taxable sale and expanding the scope of the crypto asset exit tax, but the budget revenue portion was subsequently rejected by a vote of 31 to 3, and the related amendments need to be resubmitted.

Rome Protocol announced the launch of its native token ROME, which will be used as Gas for the Rome proprietary chain, and can be used for transactions on the chain from the first day of its launch. The protocol connects EVM applications with Solana, allowing Solidity contracts and users to interact with Solana programs and assets, and settle atomically on Solana; the protocol is already running on the mainnet, with more components in the development and testing networks.Rome EVM runs as a single program on the Solana mainnet, supporting multiple EVM chains and various Gas tokens, with EVM contracts sharing state with Solana programs. The mainnet program has been audited by Halborn, and the deployed binaries can be reproduced from public repositories. Solana zkEVM operates on the development network, using Solana for settlement, data availability, and verification; Canton zkEVM operates on the testing network. The mainnet has provided asset bridges such as USDC, oracle gateways, block explorers, and applications, allowing users to sign on the original EVM chain, self-custody their assets, and access the Solana lending market.Rome charges a small fee for each transaction on every chain it supports, half of which is retained in ROME, or purchased on the open market and added to a non-sale reserve. The project states that this is not a token sale, and it will not disclose valuation, dates, or market listings; supply and schedule will be announced after determining the trading venue.
