Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that DOOM has been successfully ported to the Trezor hardware wallet and is running on it.

Bitcoin analyst Sam Callahan stated in a video interview published by Bitcoin Magazine that Bitcoin does not need the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to succeed; what truly determines its long-term value is fiscal dominance and ongoing currency depreciation, rather than the level of interest rates.Callahan pointed out that, according to the inflation metrics preferred by the Federal Reserve, the dollar has lost at least 20% of its purchasing power over the past five years. He believes that financial repression is already occurring—core PCE averaging 3.7%, and the U.S. bond market is experiencing the steepest pullback in history. He bluntly stated that this policy "works well, but is detrimental to the public."In the interview, he also discussed why the global debt binge makes currency depreciation the easiest way out, the role of the Bank for International Settlements, gold's "monetary protest" and central bank credibility issues, and when central banks will adopt Bitcoin. He listed gold, Bitcoin, and the dollar as the three pillars of reserve assets, believing that all roads ultimately lead to currency depreciation.

According to Barchart, the daily Bollinger Bands for Bitcoin have formed one of the tightest widths in the past two and a half years. This indicates that Bitcoin is "consolidating and tightening," possibly preparing for a major market movement.Bollinger Bands are a commonly used indicator in technical analysis, consisting of three lines: the middle band, which is usually the 20-day simple moving average (SMA); the upper band, which is the middle band + 2 times the standard deviation; and the lower band, which is the middle band - 2 times the standard deviation. Historical experience shows that after a significant tightening of the Bollinger Bands, a directional breakout (either upward or downward) often follows. It is common for volatility to suddenly expand from an extremely low state.

Zakura has announced an experimental network layer P2Pv2 for Zcash nodes, intended to replace the old protocol inherited from Bitcoin. This layer combines high-throughput networking, resource control, and a consensus engine tested for properties, allowing developers to add services without permission. Zakura states that approximately 50,000 transactions per second require each full node to continuously receive about 100MB/s of block data, while the 25-second block of NU7 can carry a maximum of 2MB, with existing network throughput differing by more than a thousand times from this rate. Tachyon can reduce the proof after entering the block, but the network still needs to propagate a large number of individual transactions.P2Pv2 replaces the protocol stack from about a decade ago with protocols that can be optimized for latency, throughput, or robustness, allowing a secure connection to carry multiple independent services. The transport layer uses its own zakura-quic, based on quinn-proto, utilizing QUIC and TLS 1.3, and authenticating peers with Ed25519 node identity. Related changes remove the dependency on Iroh, allowing nodes to configure socket buffers, flow control windows, timers, and connection admission before the TLS handshake. The new transport directly connects to peer addresses without using relays, external address lookups, automatic port mapping, or QUIC NAT traversal. Nodes sign identities, addresses, protocol scopes, and service IDs, allowing clients to find peers based on specific services.The independent component zakura-header-chain verifies block headers and retains competing branches in a directed acyclic graph, selecting the best qualified chain. Block synchronization schedules requests based on the delivery rates measured by each peer, and a verified commitment tree is used to skip the reconstruction of Sapling, Orchard, and Ironwood trees for each block. Currently, the Mainnet still defaults to the old P2P stack, while the Testnet and Regtest run dual stacks by default, with the native protocol version being p2p-v2/3. Zakura notes that P2Pv2 still has known denial-of-service risks and has not yet become a hardened trust boundary; production hardening, resource control, and block relay protocols are still in progress.

According to CNBC, Apple (AAPL.O) has partnered with Meta Platforms (META.O) to enable the Muse AI model to run on Mac computers.

The cross-chain exchange protocol THORChain officially announced that its native token RUNE has been 100% unlocked. The official statement indicated that the supply of RUNE has been continuously decreasing, starting with 1 billion tokens, which later dropped to 500 million. In May, based on ADR-023, 64.4 million RUNE were destroyed from reserves, further reducing the supply to 360 million.The official also introduced the system's revenue distribution. Nodes must bind RUNE to ensure the security of THORChain and receive 59% of the system's revenue, which comes from the fees paid by users during cross-chain exchanges. An additional 20% flows into the protocol's own liquidity, and every 3 days, the protocol deposits RUNE into the liquidity pool with the highest relative depth of fees, half of which is retained in the form of RUNE and held by THORChain.

Crypto trader Rune stated on platform X that the official documentation of PaperTrade has disclosed a "vulnerability" risk in the pricing mechanism at the protocol level. According to the screenshots of the displayed documentation, attackers can manipulate prices using the Best Bid and Offer (BBO) from the Hyperliquid order book. This risk involves unresolved price manipulation pathways, contract economic mechanisms, risk exposure control, as well as operational protective measures and permission management mechanisms.In addition, Rune also forwarded a tweet from community user boblob, which revealed that two wallets are suspected of actively exploiting "attacks" on the PaperTrade platform, causing a slight fluctuation of about 10-20 basis points in the ETH price on the Hyperliquid platform through trades totaling approximately 20 million dollars. Boblob further added that there are obvious issues with the current PaperTrade protocol that need to be fixed as soon as possible, or it may affect the long-term sustainability of the protocol.

According to CoinDesk, the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade was activated on the Sepolia testnet this Tuesday, increasing the block Gas limit from about 60 million to nearly 200 million, more than tripling the increase.A review of over 25 consecutive test blocks showed that the actual Gas usage was around 52 million to 92 million, accounting for only 26% to 46% of the available limit, with no instances of full capacity. The upgrade also adjusted the Gas consumption method for specific tasks and the costs of storing data, requiring developers to retest applications involving specific Gas cost assumptions. The next public testnet, Hoodi, is tentatively scheduled to launch on October 27, and the activation date for the Ethereum mainnet has yet to be determined.

Microsoft stated that the new NVIDIA Nemotron model will be able to run on a single laptop and PC.

Aptos Labs announced the launch of MonoMove, which is the largest proposed upgrade in the history of the Aptos blockchain execution engine. Aptos Labs stated that internal testing shows that MonoMove can run smart contracts up to 55 times faster than existing systems.On its fully incubated on-chain trading platform Decibel, the speed of collateral withdrawal is increased by up to 55 times, and the order placement speed is increased by up to 22 times.

American AI cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing service provider Boost Run announced a five-year, $525.6 million AI cloud service computing power agreement.

The privacy public chain Zano team stated that a hotfix has been deployed in response to the inflation vulnerability that occurred last Friday, and the network is currently running stably on the updated chain. The chain previously rolled back the block height to 3,833,000, erasing the confirmed transaction records from the past 30 days.The Zano team indicated that third-party wallets, exchanges, and payment service providers must first update their nodes to the updated chain in order to safely resume transfers of ZANO and Zano issued assets. Service providers will announce recovery progress through official channels, and the recovery process for affected users is being prepared. The native asset ZANO saw a price drop of 32% this week and a decline of 40.6% since 2026. The official Zano X account stated that users can update their iOS, Android, and desktop wallets, and the team will soon announce more details on the recovery process.

Blockworks co-founder Jason Yanowitz shares the judgment of Apollo's chief economist: agents may trigger bank runs by aggregating household cash.The chief economist stated that agents could transfer household cash from accounts with a national average interest rate of 0.1% to accounts paying 3% to 5%, causing banks to lose a significant portion of their cheap deposits.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that PeerDAS has been running stably for nearly a year with virtually no issues, which is an "underappreciated achievement" by Ethereum client developers.Vitalik mentioned that PeerDAS is a complex task and is the first large-scale blockchain system case to achieve "consensus on data availability without any single node downloading the complete block," realizing decentralized consensus without the need for complete data replication.

An MEV bot named Yoink on Ethereum front-ran an exploit attack targeting the Safe wallet, which PeckShield referred to as an approximately $7.81 million rsETH attack. On-chain records show that the Yoink transaction received 2,900 rsETH and sent 2,882.37 rsETH to the address 0xC70f00CD7E461686b04B0E912E309becA8b80ea0, which currently has a balance of 2,882.36740883 rsETH.The same transaction also sent 17.63 rsETH to the Uniswap v4 Pool Manager, which sent 18.95 ETH to the Yoink contract, which then transferred 18.93 ETH to the block builder. The Yoink transaction and the original attack transaction both occurred in Ethereum block 25980525, with the Yoink transaction at the top of the block, and the original transaction executed a rollback, consistent with the front-running judgment of security researchers.BlockSec attributed the vulnerability to a flaw in the authorization checks of the executor contract associated with the enabled Safe module, allowing calls controlled by the attacker to be executed through a trusted executor. Blockaid stated that the attacker exploited a public keeper multi-call to direct a custom Uniswap v4 liquidity module to a hook pool created by the attacker, which subsequently unpacked aEthrsETH into rsETH.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, a "news trader" paid a bribe of 40.8 BNB (31,000 USD) in node bribes and Gas fees to front-run the purchase of Hakimi at the first second of the announcement of the Hakimi contract going live on Binance, subsequently selling for a profit of 378,000 USD.Analysis shows that the announcement of the Hakimi contract going live on Binance was made at 13:55:12. Within the first second, he paid a bribe of 35.3 BNB (26,800 USD) to the node BNB48 Club and used a smuggled RPC channel to front-run and buy 9.89 million Hakimi with 264.7 BNB (200,000 USD) at a price of 0.02 USD. He also paid a high Gas fee of 5.5 BNB (4,200 USD). Of course, the high bribe and Gas fees allowed him to buy at the very front, and then other traders bought after him, pushing up the price.

The U.S. publicly traded company Hyperscale Data has terminated all Bitcoin mining operations at its Michigan facility to convert the site into infrastructure for artificial intelligence data center clients. The company stated on Wednesday that all Bitcoin mining machines in the facility have been shut down following an inspection by an unnamed California neocloud provider, and plans to sell the related mining equipment.Hyperscale Data stated that the client has signed a 10-year master service agreement, contracting 20 megawatts (MW) of AI computing power, with two optional extensions of 5 years each. The company estimates that this agreement could generate over $1.2 billion in revenue over the maximum 20-year term, and if the client exercises an additional 32 MW option, potential revenue could exceed $3 billion, while the site is expected to ultimately support 340 MW. However, the company also cautioned that its expansion plans are still in the preliminary stages and depend on financing, approvals, and other risks.Meanwhile, Hyperscale has significantly reduced its Bitcoin holdings to fund AI construction. Affected by the company's completion of a four-for-one reverse stock split and other factors, its stock price closed at $0.1984 on Wednesday, down about 17%, marking a record low adjusted for the stock split. According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET data, the company currently holds approximately 215 Bitcoins, valued at about $16.7 million, a decrease of about 79% from around 1,006 at the end of July, ranking 84th among publicly traded companies tracked on the platform.
