OneBullEx announces a brand upgrade and officially clarifies its platform positioning as The AI Futures Exchange. This upgrade occurs as the OneBullEx product system further takes shape, with the automated strategy market 300 SPARTANS now operational, and the AI strategy generation platform OneALPHA having entered the targeted testing phase. This positioning reflects OneBullEx's judgment on the competitive logic of contract trading platforms in the next stage, where AI is transitioning from an auxiliary tool into the trading execution process, and the platform's capabilities are shifting from a single trading entry to a comprehensive strategy integration.The current product architecture of OneBullEx consists of three layers: the bottom layer is the contract trading infrastructure, the middle layer is the 300 SPARTANS strategy market, and the top layer is OneALPHA. The 300 SPARTANS connects strategy creators with subscribers, supporting users in subscribing to automated strategy bots and tracking strategy performance through NAV and TWRR methods; OneALPHA covers the key processes from strategy generation, validation to deployment preparation, jointly supporting OneBullEx's AI Futures Exchange positioning.OneBullEx states that after the brand upgrade, the platform will express its core message of "smart trading, simplifying complexity," continuing its long-term mission of "returning ownership to traders," while further expanding strategy categories, user participation mechanisms, and global market coverage, promoting the contract trading experience towards a more systematic, transparent, and verifiable direction.

The Ethereum Foundation disclosed the results of a recent interoperability meeting held by core developers in the Svalbard archipelago of Norway and updated the key technical progress for the next phase upgrade, Glamsterdam. During the meeting, multiple client teams collaborated on network scalability and execution layer optimization, making progress in several directions. Developers confirmed that based on the comprehensive results of ePBS, BAL optimization, and the EIP-8037 repricing mechanism, a consensus on the "trusted path" after Glamsterdam has been reached.In terms of the execution layer, ePBS (External Proposer Separation Architecture) has been stably running in the multi-client Glamsterdam-devnet, and the external block builder process has completed end-to-end testing, covering almost all client implementations. Meanwhile, EIP-8037 has been finalized, establishing the fixed cost_per_state_byte model, and complete repricing parameter output has been achieved in bal-devnet-6. The scalability direction Hegotá has also made progress. The FOCIL-related prototype has a runnable implementation, and the scope of account abstraction (AA) requirements has been defined, with the next phase entering the multi-client development network verification stage.Current development focus remains on the final implementation of Glamsterdam while advancing the Hegotá scalability design and subsequent Strawmap route evolution. The development network is online, and functionalities such as FOCIL are expected to continue deepening in the next phase of testing.

According to market news, LayerZero Labs co-founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino had a heated debate with security researchers today in the ETHSecurity Community Telegram group. The core controversy includes: since LayerZero Labs can immediately upgrade a default library contract without a time limit to forge messages (similar to the case where rsETH was hacked), the LZ OFT, valued at over $3 billion, is recently at risk of being stolen; researcher Banteg pointed out that mainstream projects like Ethena and EtherFi were still using this default library contract weeks ago, and currently, there is still $178 million worth exposed to risk, with these funds coming from projects that are still using the default library.On-chain data shows that LayerZero Labs multi-signature signers participated in non-multi-signature activities such as meme coin trading, DEX exchanges, and cross-chain bridging, which means that the multi-signature keys in the formal environment were connected to websites, increasing phishing risks. Regarding the multi-signature signers of LayerZero using production environment keys for trading activities, Bryan confirmed that the related transactions were completed by members of the multi-signature team, but denied that it was "meme coin trading," explaining it as "testing PEPE on the LZ OFT token standard," and stated that the involved member has been removed. Bryan also suggested that project parties "directly fix configurations" instead of using default configurations to reduce risks. Banteg subsequently tagged a long list of LayerZero users still using the default library contract, pointing out that these projects should migrate to fixed configurations as soon as possible.
