Ostium announced the second phase of the compensation plan: providing two methods of payment in installments with USDC and equity conversion

Ostium has released a design update on the second phase of the compensation plan for liquidity providers (OLP). This plan offers two compensation mechanisms for users who have losses exceeding 1,000 USDC and have not opted for Convenience Allocation:Default Plan A (USDC Installment Payment): Funding sources include recovered and future recovered funds (distributed proportionally after deducting the first phase portion), a specific share of revenue from the Ostium protocol and Gateway (initially 50% of Ostium opening fees), and potential partner incentives or revenue sharing.Optional Plan B (Ostium Labs Equity Conversion): Users who meet securities regulation requirements can convert part of their unrecovered losses into Ostium Labs equity at the valuation of the next round of financing, with the same class of shares as the team, and a total holding percentage for participating users subject to a fully diluted cap.The second phase portal is scheduled to launch on October 30, and eligible users can proportionally claim the allocated funds from Plan A; if they choose equity conversion, the portion of losses converted to equity will no longer be eligible for subsequent installment payments under Plan A, thereby helping to accelerate the repayment process for the remaining unconverted funds.Ostium emphasizes that this compensation plan is voluntarily initiated by the official and does not guarantee the full recovery of lost funds; specific implementation details and parameter scales are still being refined.

first_img Analysis: China may have stockpiled 343 immersion deep ultraviolet lithography machines

According to the South China Morning Post, former U.S. officials stated that Chinese semiconductor factories have stockpiled hundreds of immersion lithography machines worth billions of dollars in recent years and urged Washington and its allies to stop further exports. The Centre for Technology & Statecraft, established in August 2026, released a report in late September estimating that by early 2026, Chinese wafer fabs had acquired approximately 343 immersion deep ultraviolet lithography systems. The report was co-authored by former U.S. export control official Nicholas Brown and former White House and Department of Commerce technology policy advisor Saif Khan.The report estimates that about 270 of these are ASML Twinscan NXT:1980i. The authors claim that although these devices lag behind extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, they can be modified for the production of 7-nanometer logic chips and advanced memory required for artificial intelligence processors (including Huawei's Ascend series). Chinese wafer fabs spent over $13 billion in 2024 to purchase about 90 NXT:1980i units, and acquired another 89 units in 2025. ASML disclosed that, by destination, China accounted for 41% of its net system sales in 2024, 33% in 2025, dropping to 19% in the first quarter of 2026 and 14% in the second quarter.Since September 2023, the Netherlands has required export licenses for the NXT:2000i and more advanced immersion deep ultraviolet equipment, effectively banning these models from being shipped to China; a year later, the licensing requirements were extended to the NXT:1980i, but this model can still be approved for shipment on a case-by-case basis.

first_img Core Lightning warns that old version nodes are under attack and urges operators to upgrade immediately

The Core Lightning team, which develops the open-source Bitcoin Lightning Network node software, has issued an urgent alert stating that reports indicate attackers are targeting nodes that have not installed patches, urging operators still running old versions to upgrade immediately. The team stated: "Emergency security update: If you are using version 26.06.7 or earlier, please upgrade to the latest release as soon as possible."Prior to this, Core Lightning began investigating a potential issue that could affect its experimental features and, in turn, impact user funds on September 16, and approximately six days later, version 26.06.8 was released. This update not only fixed several defects but also provided patches for security vulnerabilities reported responsibly by multiple parties, thanking the Bitcoin Red Team and 12 other individuals and organizations in the release notes, while also acknowledging anonymous reporters.According to the changelog, this round of fixes covers a bug that could cause sender nodes to crash, requests that could exhaust REST interface memory, and a vulnerability that could result in user funds facing confiscation losses when closing payment channels. To provide operators with ample upgrade windows and prevent attackers from taking advantage of reverse engineering and exploitation, this version intentionally obscured some testing content. Additionally, in August of this year, the project initiated a collaborative fixing process after reviewing a large number of AI-generated general vulnerability disclosure reports, and two days later released version 26.06.7 to close confirmed vulnerabilities.
