The decentralized trading protocol Uniswap has launched an ETH/USDC trading pool, which uses a separated fee mechanism for buying and selling, applying different fee standards for buy and sell transactions.This pool is implemented through the VolatilePair Hook, which will charge temporary fees on trades that reverse significant price fluctuations, aiming to retain more arbitrage value for liquidity providers.

Papertrade's official response to the allegations of price manipulation and the existence of obvious loopholes in the protocol states: It has never been possible for small orders to have the same priority as large orders. If this were done, the front end would suffer from congestion due to junk trading, and the consequences would be much worse than the existing queuing mechanism.Under these constraints, we have designed the fair launch to be as inclusive as possible.Last night, the attempts to manipulate BTC/ETH on Hyperliquid BBO were not due to flaws in the mechanism that took six months to design. These situations had already been considered; it was only because the position limits were set very loosely in the early stages to cope with congestion that such occurrences were possible. If position limits were set during peak demand for launching, it would only exacerbate the slow experience, and the queuing mechanism itself, due to the uncertainty of opening/closing confirmation times, naturally provides protection against manipulation.As congestion eases, we have begun to tighten position limits on-chain and at the relay level. In such a system, manipulation attacks are always possible— the key is whether the attempt is economically viable. The official goal is to set parameters to a point where it is almost never profitable; even if successful, the tail risk is extremely high, and the expected value is negative.

According to a report by Nomura Securities, the AI company Dark Moon is developing a large model with 50 trillion to 60 trillion parameters. Compared to the Kimi K3 released in July this year, the parameter scale of the new model is nearly doubled. The report states that the current biggest bottleneck is the lack of high-end training computing power, and the specific training progress is still unclear.Additionally, according to the aforementioned news, Kimi K3.1 will be released before mid-October, focusing on enhancing the Agent's ability to continuously complete long-duration tasks. The team plans to further optimize the model through post-training, computer operation records, and real task data. The related content is a paraphrase and not an official announcement from Dark Moon.

On October 8, the XRP Ledger activated the PermissionDelegationV1_1 feature, allowing account owners to authorize other accounts to perform specific tasks without relinquishing control of the account's master key. According to the monitoring site XRPL Dashboard, such upgrades require over 80% support from trusted validators for two consecutive weeks; based on the current 35 validators, at least 29 must support it. The countdown for this feature was reset in September due to the support rate falling below the threshold.This feature allows enterprises to split permissions by function. Stablecoin issuers can authorize compliant accounts to approve new customers while keeping the master key offline. Authorized accounts use their own keys to sign and can only perform the granted operations; owners can change or revoke these permissions at any time. Each authorized account can receive up to 10 permissions, which limit the types of operations they can perform, rather than automatically setting spending limits. Banks have previously separated payment and compliance responsibilities at the employee level, and this upgrade enforces such division at the ledger level.According to a report shared by Evernorth, a subsidiary of XRP Treasury, the network held an average of $3.72 billion in tokenized assets and $539 million in Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin in the second quarter, totaling approximately $4.26 billion. Official guidance advises users not to delegate PaymentBurn permissions before separately fixing activation; this permission is intended for assistants to destroy tokens but, under certain conditions, also allows for the creation of new tokens. This warning pertains to tokens issued on the ledger rather than newly minted XRP.

According to Galaxy Research, a certain Satoshi Nakamoto era address transferred 100.02 BTC (worth 8.55 million USD) after being dormant for 16 years, address: 1J3A7HovGXxK1GoCGMJpXGKa5sSwCrNHJ3.David Hoffman, founder of Bankless, stated that this transfer may be intended to prepare for quantum attacks.

The AI merger analysis platform Comparables.ai announced the completion of a $6 million seed round financing, led by Pragmatech and Araya Ventures, with participation from Purple Ventures, Gorilla Capital, hi5 Ventures, Somersault Ventures, and other institutions.

ChainCatcher live report from the OKX NOW Global Product and Ecosystem Conference (Singapore), where Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a keynote speech. He stated that AI is both the biggest opportunity and the biggest risk for the current industry development.He believes that the industry is moving beyond the narrative of "blockchain + programmable value," with new features such as "programmable data" realized through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) emerging.Vitalik expects that privacy protocols on Ethereum will rapidly mature, and within the next two years, most people are likely to use these technologies in an "unperceived" manner.

EIP-8363 co-sponsor Jérôme de Tychey announced the withdrawal of the application to include the proposal in the Hegotá hard fork, and the discussion on the related issuance policy will shift to an independent topic.

The founder of the general-purpose intelligent agent Manus, Xiao Hong, stated that when Manus was born, Codex and Claude Cowork had not yet appeared in the market, and the product positioning has always been a general-purpose intelligent agent. He likened Manus to a computer-selling business, believing that users may primarily purchase computers for work, but if they cannot watch videos or play games, the experience will be quite limited; therefore, it should not be confined to office tasks.Xiao Hong indicated that videos and games are important scenarios for unleashing creativity, which need to be perfected through the local client Manus Studio. The related videos for Cue are entirely produced by Manus Studio, without using video generation models; instead, the agent first writes the code, which is then converted into video. With the help of cloud computers, Manus can also create online games that support user participation with friends.In terms of infrastructure, Manus cloud computers can provide cloud-based Linux, Mac, and Windows environments. Xiao Hong stated that when the agent operates the computer in the cloud, it will not compete with the user for the local mouse cursor, and he anticipates that individuals will be able to control large-scale computing clusters in the future to satisfy curiosity and conduct experiments and explorations in fields such as mathematics and science. He also described Cue as having an independent phone number, email, payment capability, computer, and sufficient intelligence, and stated that if such agents could be regarded as humans, there might be more changes in upper-level interactions. Xiao Hong mentioned that building product experiences in an overseas open ecosystem is relatively easier, and Manus is actively preparing a domestic version.

SpaceX (SPCX.O) announced that the Super Heavy rocket separated from the Starship as scheduled.

According to "Big Factory Daily Explosion," the Doubao product line received an urgent task during the Mid-Autumn Festival, requiring the rapid development of a product to compete with Meta Muse. The project requires completion of joint debugging by September 27 and an internal testing version to be available by September 30, with a total construction period of about 6 days. The Doubao product line and multiple upstream and downstream teams are involved in the development.After launching this month, Meta's Muse quickly became popular, positioned as a Personal AI Agent that can connect to user-authorized services such as email and calendar, operate a browser in an independent cloud environment, and handle tasks like shopping and travel. It can continue to run even after the user exits the app. According to Reuters citing Apptopia data, Muse achieved approximately 2.8 million downloads within 12 days of its release, with a growth rate surpassing that of ChatGPT during its initial mobile launch.

On Tuesday, Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in its Claude 5.5 series. Anthropic stated that the new model's performance on most tasks has reached the level of its most expensive flagship model, Claude Fable 5.1, but the operating costs are 20% lower than the previous generation Opus 5 and 60% lower than Fable 5.1. In terms of pricing, the input and output token prices for Opus 5.5 are $4 per million and $20 per million, respectively, while the cache read price has dropped to $0.2 per million.In benchmark testing, Opus 5.5 scored 66.4% on Terminal-Bench 4, higher than Fable 5.1's 55.8% and GPT-6 Astra's 57.9%; FrontierCode scored 54.4%, higher than Fable 5.1's 50.3%; GDPval-AA v2.1 scored 1846, higher than Fable 5.1's 1735. However, GPT-6 Astra still leads Opus 5.5 in the AutomationBench and Terminal-Bench-Science 0.1 tests.This is the first model released after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on the industry to slow down the pace of AI capability enhancement, and it continues to use the same cybersecurity and biosafety measures as Fable 5.1.

Market news reports that Alibaba plans to train an artificial intelligence model with parameters ranging from 50 trillion to 100 trillion.

DeepSeek CEO Liang Wenfeng revealed to investors that the company is training a 20 trillion parameter model and plans to develop an 80 trillion parameter model afterward. The current flagship V4-Pro has a total of 1.6 trillion parameters.Among the publicly disclosed ultra-large models, Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 reaches 2.8 trillion parameters. Kimi K3 uses the MoE architecture, with each token activating 104 billion parameters out of the total 2.8 trillion. The planned 80 trillion parameter model by DeepSeek is nearly three times that size.DeepSeek completed over 50 billion yuan in financing in July, with a valuation exceeding 50 billion dollars. V4-Pro is open-sourced with a total of 1.6 trillion parameters and 49 billion active parameters.

Paraguayan authorities shut down two illegal cryptocurrency mining facilities in Upper Paraná province within a week, seizing a total of 35 mining machines. One mining site, which was discovered on September 17, illegally drew electricity through a line without an installed meter, resulting in the confiscation of 10 ASIC mining machines, with related costs and fines totaling approximately $30,000.Another operation on September 12 seized 25 mining machines. The Paraguayan House of Representatives has passed a resolution requiring the National Electricity Administration to submit a report on the electricity consumption, electricity prices, and regulatory situation of the cryptocurrency mining industry.

Privacy token Zcash (ZEC) rose about 20% in 24 hours, with Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang revealing that the company has invested in ZEC. ZEC supports shielded transactions that hide addresses and transaction amounts using zero-knowledge proofs, with a price of about $1,338 on Thursday.Huang disclosed in a post that Paradigm is both an investor in the Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) and a holder of ZEC tokens. He described Zcash as "a privacy complement to Bitcoin" and supports its developer fund backed by inflationary funds, believing that long-term funding support remains important in the context of AI network capabilities and the development of quantum computing. He also supports combining Zcash token voting with other forms of governance to reduce its unpredictability as a monetary asset.Today's increase of over 10% has led to a cumulative rise of about 160% for ZEC over the past month, while Bitcoin has risen 18.2% during the same period. Paradigm's investment in the Zcash ecosystem has been publicly disclosed, with ZODL announcing the completion of over $25 million in seed funding in March, with participants including Paradigm, a16z crypto, Coinbase Ventures, and Winklevoss Capital. As ZEC rises, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4%, marking the first rate hike of 2023, with the overall cryptocurrency market trending upward.

Paradigm founder Matt Huang commented on Zcash via Twitter. He stated that all blockchain ecosystems face the long-term funding challenge for public goods, and funding developer funds through inflation is a relatively elegant mechanism; how funds are allocated can be discussed and continuously improved. In the context of accelerating AI network attack capabilities and advancements in quantum computing, developer funds remain very important.Regarding governance, Matt Huang mentioned that as Zcash is increasingly accepted by more users as a complementary asset to Bitcoin for privacy, voting solely based on the amount of tokens held will bring uncertainty and may limit its long-term trust as a monetary asset. The project is better off combining token-based voting with other forms of governance.

The founder of Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), Jiang Zhuoer, stated that after the release of the latest PPI data in the United States, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates has risen to 70%. It is expected that tomorrow's CPI data will not be favorable either, and preparations are being made to short.

The head of government affairs at Paradigm stated that the external view that the Clarity Act is almost hopeless to pass is not credible. The related pessimistic rhetoric mostly comes from anonymous staff members who did not participate in the core negotiations (intending to guide public opinion), or from legislators using the media to voice their demands, pressuring the White House and Senate leadership to meet their own requests.Major banks plan to invest heavily in lobbying and advertising next week; if the bill is doomed to fail, the banks would not invest such resources. The time window is indeed tight: the Senate reconvenes on Monday, and the House will recess on Friday in five days. However, the bill is far from dead. Those who assert that the bill has no chance are either seeking attention or trying to create a predetermined narrative of "bill failure."
