Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно данным Gate, компания Boeing планирует приобрести акции Archer Aviation, в результате чего цена акций компании перед открытием рынка выросла на 15%.

ChainCatcher сообщает, что по официальным данным, L1 блокчейн ILITY получил инвестиции в размере 1 миллиона долларов от Archer Capital и TBV, чтобы ускорить развитие экосистемы Agent. Сообщается, что экономическая экосистема AI агентов (Agent) ILITY скоро будет запущена, и эти средства будут в основном использованы для углубленной работы в этой новой области.ILITY Network — это инфраструктура для экономики AI агентов, предоставляющая проверяемую on-chain идентичность для автономных AI агентов, машинные расчеты в реальном времени (M2M) между агентами, а также систему репутации, основанную на реальных on-chain записях выполнения обязательств, которая может переноситься между сервисами; его родной токен $ILY является газом и расчетной валютой этой экосистемы.Ранее в последнем раунде финансирования проект получил поддержку от таких организаций, как Animoca Brands, DuckDAO и других.

According to The Defiant, Ethereum researchers Thomas Coratger, Justin Drake, and others released a proposal on June 1 at the Ethereum research forum, planning to establish a dedicated XMSS public key registry as the first concrete protocol upgrade for Ethereum's migration to post-quantum cryptography.This registry allows approximately 1 million validators to pre-register quantum-safe XMSS keys before the full switch to the BLS signature system, serving as an important "preheating phase" to reduce the impact of the subsequent switch on network stability. This proposal has been included in the Ethereum Foundation's protocol team's Strawmap roadmap, marking the first protocol fork on that roadmap.

According to Cointelegraph, the Ethereum Foundation has recently faced criticism from the community for selling ETH, unstaking, and having limited public communication. However, blockchain researcher and investor William Mougayar defended it in a post, stating that the outside world has long misunderstood the Foundation's positioning. ETH, the Ethereum network, and the Ethereum Foundation itself are three different aspects: ETH is an asset, Ethereum is a shared computing infrastructure, and the Foundation is a non-profit organization responsible for promoting protocol development, one of its goals even being "to make the founders gradually less important." The Ethereum Foundation is currently on a "subtraction path," strengthening the network by promoting protocol upgrades, funding underlying research, and reducing its own centralized influence.

According to The Block, former Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist posted on the X platform, proposing the establishment of a new organization aligned with the Ethereum economy to "save" Ethereum. He believes that the Ethereum Foundation currently holds less than 0.1% of ETH, with no staking or fee income flowing in, so the new organization needs to raise at least $1 billion in funding, managed by competent leaders, with part of the funds coming from staking income, and driven by a more responsible board to boost Ethereum's price.Feist left the foundation last year to join Layer 1 network Tempo. He co-created the Danksharding shard design in the Ethereum community to enhance Layer 2 scalability, was appointed as a strategic advisor in areas such as L1 scaling and user experience during the restructuring of the foundation's leadership, and proposed EIP-9698, which would increase the Gas limit by 100 times.

According to CoinDesk, former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner has increased his disclosed investment size from $5.5 billion to $13.67 billion as of March 31, 2026, and has significantly bought shares in Bitcoin mining companies and AI infrastructure companies.His key holdings include mining companies such as IREN, Core Scientific, Riot Platforms, CleanSpark, Bitfarms, Bitdeer, and Hive Digital, betting that their power resources and data center capabilities will benefit from the growing demand for AI computing power.At the same time, he has also established a short position of approximately $7.46 billion in semiconductors, including large put option positions on the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, NVIDIA, Oracle, and Broadcom.

According to official news, the smart contract auditing platform Code4rena has announced that it will gradually cease operations, and the Web3 security company Immunefi will take over its clients and security researchers. Code4rena posted on social media that it has made the decision to shut down and stated that all ongoing competitions and bounty activities will be completed as usual, and existing collaborations will be "properly concluded." Immunefi stated that it will assist in migrating Code4rena's bounty projects, reward structures, and researchers to its platform.Code4rena is known for its "competitive auditing" model, where independent researchers compete to find vulnerabilities in smart contracts for rewards. This shutdown comes less than two years after blockchain security company Zellic acquired Code4rena in 2024. Previously, Code4rena raised $6 million from Paradigm in 2023 for auditing incentives and platform expansion.This shutdown comes at a difficult time for DeFi protocols and the security sector. Data from DefiLlama shows that there were over 20 crypto vulnerability incidents in April alone, setting a monthly record. JPMorgan analysts believe that ongoing DeFi security incidents are limiting major institutional investors from entering the market. Meanwhile, the total value locked in DeFi has decreased from about $160 billion in October to approximately $83 billion currently.

Researcher Dan Robinson from Paradigm proposed a new scheme called PACT (Verifiable Address Controlled Timestamp), aimed at protecting long-dormant bitcoins, including Satoshi's early addresses, from future quantum computing attacks.This mechanism allows users to prove their control over an address through a timestamp without the need to transfer assets or expose on-chain behavior. Once future quantum attacks occur, assets can be recovered in a quantum-resistant version of the Bitcoin network based on that proof. Compared to mandatory migration schemes (like BIP-361), PACT avoids the privacy exposure issues caused by actively transferring assets, providing long-term holders with a more flexible preemptive protection path.

Former Jump Trading senior quantitative researcher Yiming Zhang has received startup funding support from hedge fund giant Millennium Management after leaving the firm and will conduct business as an external manager in the future.Yiming Zhang worked at Jump for 17 years and was one of the key members of the core strategy department. Due to non-compete clauses, his new role is expected to officially start after the restriction period ends. Industry insiders point out that Millennium Management has been expanding its footprint in recent years by providing funding support to external teams, becoming one of the important "incubators" in the hedge fund sector.

The crypto financial services company Nava, which prevents inappropriate behavior of AI agents, announced the completion of an $8.3 million seed round financing, co-led by Polychain and Archetype.It is reported that the company's method to prevent inappropriate behavior of AI agents is to create a custodial service that holds funds until the agent proposes a transaction. Once the agent proposes a transaction, Nava will use a validation framework to determine whether the transaction outcome aligns with the user's intent. If the transaction passes validation, it will be executed; otherwise, the funds will remain in the custodial account, and the reasons for accepting or rejecting any transaction will be recorded on the blockchain, thereby creating a public decision ledger that can be referenced.

According to The Block, Ethereum researchers are exploring the "Block-in-Blobs" proposal (EIP-8142), which plans to encode block execution load data into Blobs. Validators can verify data existence through Data Availability Sampling (DAS) without needing to download the complete dataset, reducing bandwidth pressure and improving scalability.In the zkEVM scenario, this proposal can also fill the gap where zero-knowledge proofs cannot guarantee data availability and aims to unify execution Gas and Blob data usage into a single "data Gas" system.In addition, Biconomy, in collaboration with the Ethereum Foundation, proposed ERC-8211, which supports executing multiple operations in sequence under a single signature to reduce failed transactions and optimize the DeFi interaction experience.

Devansh Mehta, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, proposed a Validator Revenue Redistribution (VRR) scheme at the EthCC conference. It aims to allow validators to signal on the consensus layer and autonomously decide to redirect a certain percentage of their staking rewards to designated smart contracts, rather than withdrawing all to personal wallets. The recipients can be public goods funding platforms like Gitcoin, Octant, security auditing agencies, or core protocol research teams.The scheme involves two changes to the execution layer: signaling the redirection ratio by validators and the logical implementation of fund allocation to the designated contracts.

Bitcoin security researcher and Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake published a discussion on the timeline for quantum computing to crack Bitcoin.Justin Drake believes that the findings of Google's quantum AI white paper are conservative. "By 2032, quantum computers will have at least a 10% chance of recovering the secp256k1 ECDSA private key from leaked public keys. While it still feels unlikely that a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) will emerge before 2030, it is undoubtedly time to start preparing."Justin Drake also stated that achieving commercially viable Bitcoin proof of work through Grover's algorithm will not happen in the short term. "We are talking about decades, or even centuries later. This observation should help shift the focus of the discussion onto ECDSA and Schnorr. As an unofficial Bitcoin security researcher, I still believe that Bitcoin proof of work has failed due to the reduction in the security budget."

According to The Block, Ethereum researchers demonstrated a proof of concept for "native Rollups" based on the execution client Ethrex, implementing EIP-8079 through the addition of an EXECUTE precompile, which directly replays and verifies Layer 2 block state changes on the Ethereum base layer.This solution does not rely on zero-knowledge proofs or fraud proofs, but instead is executed and confirmed by Ethereum itself to validate Rollup transaction validity. The related contracts are used to track Rollup state, bridge cross-layer messages, and verify withdrawals based on Merkle-Patricia proofs. Developers claim that native Rollups can simplify long-term maintenance of Layer 2, allowing them to directly inherit Ethereum's security and upgrade properties, and they are still in the exploration and proof of concept stage.

Cryptanalysis provider CoinMetrics senior researcher Tanay Ved expects Coinbase's total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 to be $1.77 billion, a 5% decrease from $1.87 billion in the third quarter, as declines in trading volume and asset prices offset growth in derivatives trading and USDC.Trading revenue is expected to be $978 million (a 6% quarter-over-quarter decline), with Deribit's contribution throughout the quarter driving growth in institutional business.Subscription and services revenue remains resilient at $723 million, with the growth in USDC supply offsetting the impact of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and reduced staking rewards.The firm forecasts Coinbase's total revenue for the fiscal year 2025 to be approximately $7.2 billion, reflecting Coinbase's ongoing revenue diversification and strategic expansion into the derivatives space.It is reported that Coinbase will announce its fourth quarter and full-year financial results for 2025 after the market closes on February 12 (Wednesday).

According to official news, the cross-chain bridge aggregator Relay announced the completion of a $17 million Series B funding round, led by Archetype and Union Square Ventures. At the same time, Relay announced the launch of Relay Chain.It is reported that Relay Chain is an underlying infrastructure specifically designed for cross-chain settlement and exchange. This architecture aims to address the issue of liquidity fragmentation, achieving per-order settlement (not batch packaging) at extremely low costs, significantly reducing transaction delays and costs while improving capital efficiency.

Ethereum researcher Thomas Thiery (also known as soispoke) proposed FOCIL as a core anti-censorship feature in the Hegota upgrade. Hegota is Ethereum's second major upgrade scheduled for the second half of 2026. FOCIL is a protocol layer mechanism that modifies Ethereum's fork choice rules to enforce the inclusion of any valid transaction in on-chain blocks within a limited time.The main goal of this proposal is to reduce Ethereum's reliance on centralized validators to mitigate the potential risk of large-scale transaction censorship in the future, thereby enhancing Ethereum's core value as a neutral, censorship-resistant blockchain. An Ethereum researcher stated, "Without FOCIL, the protocol would be vulnerable to large-scale censorship events. Ethereum should proactively design for long-term resilience rather than reactively respond to sudden censorship."

According to Cointelegraph, cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered a public database containing approximately 149 million usernames and passwords, which were collected from infected personal devices through information-stealing malware. The database includes account information related to multiple major platforms, with at least 420,000 login credentials associated with Binance users.Experts emphasize that this is not a breach of Binance's systems, but rather the extraction of saved login information from infected devices via "information-stealing" malware. This malware disguises itself as game cheating tools or modifiers, specifically targeting cryptocurrency wallets and browser extensions, affecting over 100 browsers and at least 80 cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Crypto.com, and MetaMask.

The recent surge in Ethereum network activity may be related to address poisoning attacks utilizing low Gas fees. The number of new addresses has reached 2.7 million, which is 170% higher than normal levels, with a daily transaction volume exceeding 2.5 million. The Fusaka network upgrade has reduced transaction fees by over 60%, leading to a decrease in the cost of such large-scale spam attacks. Currently, 3.8 million addresses have received such dust assets in their first transaction, accounting for 67% of the new addresses. So far, 116 victims have lost over $740,000 as a result.
