According to Crypto in America, the U.S. Senate will hold a crucial procedural vote on the "Clarity Act" at 2:15 PM on September 15, which requires 60 votes to advance to formal debate. The Republican Party has made 126 substantive amendments to the bill at the request of the Democrats, covering ethical provisions, software developer protections, and a "circuit breaker" mechanism for stablecoin deposits, and has designated this as the "final, best, and ultimate" text.On the eve of the vote, the Democrats still proposed counter-proposals, calling for further tightening of large cryptocurrency holding limits, blockchain regulatory provisions, and exchange conflict of interest rules. Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, expressed that he "feels good" about the voting outcome but admitted that the final result depends more on political maneuvering than on the policy itself.Eight banking industry groups, including the American Bankers Association, continue to oppose the bill, arguing that there are loopholes in the existing stablecoin yield provisions; meanwhile, the White House Council of Economic Advisers has introduced new tools to counter the banking industry's assertion that stablecoins will lead to deposit outflows.

OpenAI supports the FRONTIER Act proposed by both parties in the U.S. House of Representatives, which requires leading artificial intelligence companies to bring in external assessment organizations to ensure model safety.Chris Lattner, OpenAI's head of global affairs, stated that the company supports the key provisions of the bill and met with the sponsors on Capitol Hill to discuss arrangements for independent verification organizations.

On September 13, Derive forum user domrom published a DIP proposal to deploy and launch Derive V3 (a zkVM program settled on the Ethereum mainnet), migrating all V2 positions and balances to the V3 genesis state, transferring bridge funds to L1, and shutting down Derive Chain after the migration is complete.The proposal states that as of September 7, 2026, Derive accounts for approximately 95% of the on-chain options premium trading volume over the previous 30 days, with open contracts totaling about $2 billion. V3 is a zero-knowledge exchange, where the state transitions of the matching engine and sequencer are executed in zkVM and verified on Ethereum L1, with user funds held in L1 contracts, aiming for L2Beat Stage 1. The migration is not a redeposit; it will generate the genesis state based on a snapshot of Derive Chain, with stDRV deployed to the Ethereum mainnet and DRV OFT connected to Robinhood Chain.The timeline will be announced at least 14 days in advance after approval; bridging will be frozen before migration, trading will be paused, and a snapshot will be taken after settlement, followed by the resumption of trading. Rewards can be claimed on Optimism until February 1, 2027.

GoPlus Chinese Community issued a security alert stating that a newly activated external account address has initiated a malicious governance proposal against Ampleforth. The proposal, titled "Application for Completed Work Funding for SPOT Ecosystem Analysis Tool," attempts to transfer 2.5 million USDC from the treasury to the proposer, an amount that nearly accounts for all the liquid funds in the treasury.

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, U.S. Senate Republicans have released a new version of the CLARITY Act text, referring to it as the "last, best, and final proposal" presented to Democrats before the debate vote ends on Tuesday. The new text includes several adjustments related to ethical standards, BRCA, stablecoin earnings, and provisions related to the Agriculture Committee.Among them, Trump has agreed to about 80% of the content of the Tillis-Gallego ethical standards proposal, including the sale of "significant" crypto-related financial interests or placing them in a blind trust; the stablecoin earnings section introduces a "circuit breaker mechanism," allowing federal regulators to intervene if there is a large-scale flow of community bank deposits into stablecoins, with the relevant judgment to be made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Additionally, the scope of BRCA's protections has been narrowed, and the new text further strengthens restrictions on vertical integration, including related party transactions and conflicts of interest involving digital commodity exchanges, brokers, and dealers.

According to Defimon monitoring, the Ampleforth governance system Governor Bravo has a suspicious proposal 54, involving approximately 2.5 million dollars of treasury funds. This incident has been classified as an access control risk and a malicious governance proposal, and the related funds have not yet been transferred out.The Ampleforth time-lock contract currently holds about 2.538 million USDC, so this proposal involves nearly all treasury assets. The proposer disclosed that they wrote the proposal themselves and plan to vote through a delegated address holding 87,238 FORTH, which accounts for about 0.57% of the supply, slightly above the proposal threshold of 75,000 FORTH. The quorum for the proposal is 600,000 FORTH, which, at the current price of FORTH at 0.22 dollars, is worth approximately 132,000 dollars.

Vitalik recently updated EIP-8141 "Frame Transaction" proposal, with core improvements including atomic batch execution of up to 64 operations, social recovery (similar to Google account recovery, without the need for a mnemonic phrase), P256 quantum-resistant signatures, and the ability for anyone to pay gas fees for users, significantly enhancing the usability of Ethereum wallets.It is reported that the improvement proposal was co-authored by Vitalik, lightclient, and 10 other experts, and is planned to be included in the 2027 Hegotá upgrade, marking a significant native implementation of Ethereum account abstraction.

Huang Licheng posted, "I personally speculate that my proposal to acquire Friend.tech was blocked by Paradigm, so I withdrew my offer. If the project's founder Racer relaunches Friend.tech on the Robinhood Chain, I will support it."

The security company Defimon issued an alert stating that a governance takeover attack against YAM Finance has been detected. After self-delegating approximately 504,000 YAM (about 3.3% of the total supply, slightly above the legal voting threshold), the attacker submitted YamGovernorAlpha proposal #45, which is described as empty ("0x"), with the sole action being to call the setPendingAdmin method of the YAM Timelock contract, pointing to the attacker's address.It has been disclosed that if the proposal is voted through and executed, the attacker will become the pendingAdmin, and then can fully control the Timelock through acceptAdmin, which includes management rights over all YAM protocol contracts and the DAO treasury, involving a risk amount of approximately $337,000. As the protocol is currently in a dormant state, Defimon Alerts reminds users holding YAM to vote against the proposal before block height 25897343 (about 34 hours remaining).

Bitcoin holding company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has written to MSCI opposing its proposal to exclude "non-operating companies" from the global investable market index, stating that the proposal is "misleading and flawed." Strategy founder Michael Saylor and CEO Phong Le expressed in the letter that MSCI's proposal discriminates against digital asset companies and questioned its fairness and reliability as an index provider.Earlier this month, MSCI announced that it is consulting on the definition of "non-operating companies" and plans to exclude such companies from its global investable market index. Strategy pointed out that this is the second time MSCI has proposed a similar plan, as a previous proposal for 2025 was withdrawn. Strategy emphasized that it is an operating company, employing approximately 1,500 people globally, and reports its Bitcoin business as an operating segment, with Bitcoin gains and losses reported as operating expenses.Strategy is currently the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, holding 845,050 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $6.58 billion at current prices. MSTR closed up 4% on Monday, but has fallen 15% year-to-date.

The revenue from fees priced in SOL on Solana reached a seven-day average of nearly 9,200 SOL on August 27, an increase of over 80% compared to three months ago; the non-voting transaction volume also set a new seven-day high of 191 million transactions, compared to only 88 million transactions a year ago. Jito validator tips averaged 2,073 SOL daily over the past week, a 26% increase week-on-week, directly reflecting the increase in on-chain activity.Meanwhile, the SGP-0002 "Dual Deflation" proposal passed last Friday with just over 67% support (the threshold was 66.67%), with a voting participation rate of 60.7%, covering 1,326 validators, setting a historical high for governance participation on the Solana chain. This proposal will double the annual deflation rate from 15% to 30%, expected to reduce the planned issuance by approximately 18.9 million SOL over six years.This means that the new SOL supply entering the market each year will decrease, and the rewards for validators completing the same amount of work will also decline. Staking rewards will drop from about 5.25% to 2.25% in the third year, which will squeeze validators that rely on inflation revenue rather than transaction fees, and many validators may face losses within three years. However, this impact will mainly affect small independent operators, and ordinary users are not expected to experience significant changes in the speed and costs of using the Solana network.

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to abolish the relevant rules regarding when and how shareholders of listed companies can submit shareholder proxy proposals, as indicated by the latest information released by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).According to a notice published on Monday, the SEC submitted the proposal to the White House OMB for review last week. This is the latest step by SEC Chairman Paul Atkins to change the dynamics of the relationship between shareholders of listed companies and company management.In simple terms, the SEC is proposing to adjust the regulatory rules for shareholders of listed companies to submit proxy proposals, and the proposal is currently still in the OMB review stage.

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.

Solana validators have voted to approve the "Dual Deflation" proposal numbered SGP-0002, increasing the network's annual deflation rate from 15% to 30%, while maintaining a long-term inflation target of 1.5%. According to the final voting results, the proposal received 67% support, 25.16% opposed, and 7.84% abstained, with a participation rate of 60.7%. The new plan is expected to bring SOL to a terminal inflation rate of 1.5% in about 2.8 years, while the original plan would take approximately 5.7 years, with an expected reduction of about 18.9 million SOL issued over the next six years.This vote marks Solana's first binding governance process, which also approved the proposed Solana Constitution while rejecting another proposal regarding resource and inclusion fees. The positions of major participants have diverged: the largest voter, Figment, holding 17.1 million SOL, cast all opposing votes, while Helius and Jupiter overwhelmingly supported it. The U.S. exchange Kraken briefly cast an opposing vote at 12:33 UTC during the voting process, causing the support rate to dip below the threshold, but ultimately over 90% of its approximately 8.9 million SOL voting position turned to support.Meanwhile, Bitwise's Solana ETF has surpassed $1 billion in assets under management, becoming the first Solana ETF to reach this milestone. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, U.S. Solana ETFs have seen a cumulative net inflow of about $1.7 billion since their launch, with almost no sustained outflows.

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.

The proposal No. 107 of the TRON mainnet has been officially approved and is in effect, with the TVM Prague and Osaka compatibility features introduced in GreatVoyage-v4.8.2 being enabled simultaneously.This update supports reading historical block hashes directly from the on-chain state, adds the CLZ instruction, and natively supports Passkey verification with the secp256r1 precompiled contract, while optimizing MODEXP energy consumption. With the launch of these related features, the compatibility of TVM with Ethereum Prague and Osaka upgrades has been further enhanced, providing a more complete development environment for smart contract development, tool migration, and EVM ecosystem application adaptation.

According to data from the Solana governance platform, the "SGP-0002 Double Deflation" proposal is currently in the voting stage, with about 12 hours left until the voting deadline. This proposal was initiated by Helius (HEL1...e2TU) and suggests increasing the deflation rate in Solana's inflation plan from the current -15% to -30% to accelerate the reduction of network inflation.The current voter participation rate is 47.29%, meeting the requirement of 1/3 of the quorum. The vote distribution is as follows: For: 140.6M SOL (68.58%), Against: 47.39M SOL (23.12%), Abstain: 17.01M SOL (8.3%). Among the main voting parties, validators such as Helius, Jupiter, and Staking Facilities voted in support, while Figment, Everstake, and P2P.org voted against.

Ethereum developer nixo.eth revealed on the X platform that Ethereum core developers have decided to change the status of the account abstraction proposal EIP-8141 from "under consideration" to "scheduled," confirming that account abstraction will be promoted as a key feature of the Hegotá upgrade.This EIP was proposed in March as a flagship upgrade, and community consensus suggests that even though there are still controversies regarding the specific implementation, account abstraction should be launched in Hegotá. In recent weeks, another proposal, EIP-8130, has emerged as a competitor, planning to be deployed on Base in September, sparking discussions about avoiding a split in account abstraction standards between L1 and L2. The authors of both EIPs and core developers are working hard to reach a unified solution without delaying the upgrade. The status change means that this feature has officially entered the planning for the Hegotá upgrade, but the specific specifications may undergo significant changes, and it is common for implementation plans to change before the official launch.

According to SolanaFloor, the Solana double deflation proposal reached quorum 27 hours before the voting ended, with a current participation rate of 33.84%, of which 25% voted in favor.If the proposal is approved, the Solana deflation rate will double to 30%, and it is expected to reduce the issuance of approximately 18.9 million SOL over six years, equivalent to about $1.47 billion at current prices.
