Jiang Zhuoer, the founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), stated in a post that around 13:10 Beijing time today, a small flash crash occurred across the entire market, with BTC, ETH, and various altcoins showing significant price spikes, and even non-crypto assets like crude oil experienced short-term violent fluctuations. It is advised not to use a unified account to hold a large number of high-leverage altcoin long positions simultaneously, as in a joint margin model, if a certain cryptocurrency suddenly crashes by 50%, it may lead to insufficient margin in the account, triggering the forced liquidation of other assets in the account.If engaging in high-leverage altcoin trading, it is recommended to use a isolated margin model to separate positions, avoiding the extreme market conditions of a single cryptocurrency from affecting the entire account. Although isolated margin trading is relatively cumbersome, at least in the event of extreme market conditions, "if one blows up, it only blows up one," which can reduce the risk of the entire account's assets being instantly wiped out.

The Arbitrum development team stated that they are introducing zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs into the Arbitrum platform to achieve a multi-proof settlement model. Through ZK proofs, the settlement time of Arbitrum blocks to Ethereum L1 is expected to be reduced from several days to several hours, while enhancing user, cross-chain bridge, and protocol capital efficiency, and maintaining security through the multi-proof mechanism. Related capabilities are aimed at Arbitrum One and dedicated chains based on the Arbitrum platform. Offchain will subsequently submit upgrade proposals to the DAO.Current progress includes: the ability to run the same state transition functions in SP1 zkVM as in optimistic execution, generating ZK proofs for real mainnet block production; Stylus's WASM contracts can be proven alongside Solidity contracts; the team has launched an independent Rust verifier, making ZK proofs a first-class mode alongside standard verification; the BoLD settlement protocol has supported the acceptance of ZK proofs and is endorsed by a fast confirmation committee, while the original dispute games still serve as a fallback path, forming a multi-proof architecture that coordinates ZK proofs, proof committees, and fraud proofs.The team claims to be continuously reducing proof costs and will gradually merge related code into the Nitro main production path. The next steps include further optimizing proofs and shifting to Reth-based execution, completing L1 message inbox proofs, and integrating ZK settlement capabilities into node configurations for on-demand activation across chains.
