F2Pool co-founder and stakefish founder Wang Chun tweeted that Oleksii Trofimchuk filed a lawsuit against Lido Finance and stakefish on September 8 in the Santa Clara County Superior Court, accusing them of allowing competing MEV bots to submit high-priority fee transactions to claim the ETH after his wallet was hacked.

Cryptocurrency trader Bonk Guy stated that a few days ago he posted to explain his shift towards a positive outlook on the Solana ecosystem, as he observed relevant leaders making cultural changes that he believes are beneficial for the long-term development of the ecosystem. Therefore, he bought the first Solana ecosystem token in a long time, and his next significant bet is on EMBER and its ecosystem.

According to Cryptopolitan, over 100 researchers, using AI coding agents, have reduced the quantum attack resource score for the Bitcoin secp256k1 elliptic curve point addition subroutine by 86.1% (from 10.75 billion to 1.496 billion). This optimization only targets a single step in Shor's algorithm and does not break any private keys or transfer funds; a complete attack still requires fault-tolerant quantum hardware that does not yet exist. However, each efficiency improvement compresses the time window for quantum migration after blockchain completion.According to Glassnode data, approximately 6.04 million BTC (30.2% of the circulating supply) face potential quantum risks due to exposed public keys on-chain. Ethereum plans to achieve full quantum resistance by December 2029, while the Bitcoin community faces greater challenges at the governance level, including how to handle approximately 1.7 million suspected dormant P2PK address coins held by Satoshi, which remains unresolved.

Castle Labs released a research report on September 10, comparing the execution costs of the swaps products launched by Variational with traditional perpetual contracts. The report shows that for most trading volumes, Variational is currently the lowest-cost venue among listed assets, with the cost of a $1 million trade in the US100 market being only $47.The report points out that the trading volume of RWA perpetual contracts has grown from less than $1 billion in October 2025 to over $12 billion in August 2026, currently accounting for about 12% to 13% of on-chain perpetual contract trading volume, with a peak in July reaching 20%. As of the report's release, the total open interest of RWA perpetual contracts was $4.9 billion, with TradeXYZ and Variational accounting for nearly 90%.Variational's swaps utilize RFQ execution and the proprietary liquidity provider Omni, with liquidity coming directly from traditional financial partners, and the fees being a holding cost charged once at the daily close, rather than relying on market supply and demand funding rates. Since the launch of the US100, US500, XAU, XAG, and USOIL markets at the beginning of the month, a total trading volume of $3.8 billion has been accumulated, with a peak open interest of $245 million. Currently, swaps have contributed over 50% of Variational's daily trading volume and more than $220 million in open interest.

According to CoinDesk, the latest paper released by researchers from institutions such as Theta Labs, the Ethereum Foundation, and StarkWare shows that the resources required for potential quantum attacks on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have decreased by more than 50% compared to the estimates previously published by Google's quantum artificial intelligence team.The quantum circuit design proposed in the study requires only about 1,151 logical qubits and uses approximately 1.3 million Toffoli gate operations to complete the relevant calculations, with a comprehensive score of about 1.5 billion, lower than the approximately 3 billion level previously published by Google.The research primarily optimized the point addition calculation in Shor's algorithm, which theoretically can use sufficiently powerful quantum computers to derive private keys from public keys. Jieyi Long, one of the main authors of the paper and CTO of Theta Labs, stated that quantum attacks are not imminent at the moment, but transitioning to quantum resistance will take years, and remediation cannot be done after an attack occurs.

This week's upcoming release of the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) has become a key point for judging whether inflation is re-accelerating. Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in a live broadcast that, against the backdrop of 162,000 new non-farm jobs and an unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%, the demand side in the U.S. remains resilient. If core PPI and service prices continue to stay high, companies may pass costs onto consumers, driving up subsequent CPI and prompting the market to reprice the Federal Reserve's policy path of "maintaining high interest rates for a longer period."Lewis Huang further analyzed two scenarios: if PPI exceeds expectations but CPI remains moderate, it indicates that companies lack pricing power and can only compress profit margins to absorb costs; if both PPI and CPI exceed expectations, it signifies that the inflation transmission chain has reopened, potentially serving as a catalyst for a stronger dollar and U.S. Treasury yields. From a trading perspective, if PPI exceeds expectations and drives the dollar up, gold and high-valuation tech indices like the Nasdaq 100 may come under pressure; conversely, if PPI falls short of expectations and the dollar retreats, it would support a rebound in gold and growth stock indices.Lewis Huang reminded traders that they should not only focus on the first wave of market movements following the data release but also observe whether PPI is confirmed by CPI, the dollar, and U.S. Treasury yields. If the rise in PPI is merely a short-term cost shock, the market impact will be limited; if costs continue to be transmitted to consumers, the market narrative may shift back to "recurring inflation and the continuation of high interest rates."

According to the report "Explosive Growth of Stock Derivatives in 2026: The Landscape of Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Key Trends" released by RootData, the stock derivatives sector has transitioned from "marginal experimentation" to the "explosive growth" phase, with a cumulative trading volume of approximately $17.5 trillion from January to August.In terms of cumulative transaction volume, the concentration effect among the top exchanges remains significant.

According to GMGN market data, the Solana ecosystem meme coin Anonymous Cat (ZCAT) continues to rebound, with its market capitalization returning to the $100 million mark, rising over 40% in nearly 4 hours. During the same period, the trading volume reached $15.8 million.ZCAT is a cat-themed meme token on Solana, inspired by the privacy concept of Zcash (ZEC), with a mascot of an anonymous cat wearing a brown paper bag on its head. It can be purchased through transaction or transfer taxes (approximately 3%) and airdropped to holders on the Solana chain as a bridge for Zcash (ZEC).ChainCatcher reminds users that meme coins often lack practical use cases and have significant price volatility, so investment should be approached with caution.

According to GMGN market data, the Solana token issuance platform StonkFun's platform token STONK briefly rose above a market capitalization of 180 million USD, currently reported at 179.6 million USD, with a 24-hour increase of 24.86%.The trading volume of this token in the past 24 hours reached 94.1 million USD. ChainCatcher reminds users that meme coins generally have no practical use cases and exhibit significant price volatility; investment should be approached with caution.

Vitalik posted on the X platform, expressing the hope to include the recursive STARK memory pool proposal EIP-8288 in the Ethereum I-star upgrade, stating that it can be seen as the next step after Frames.This proposal allows quantum-safe signature data to be placed off-chain, reducing the cost of signatures; the fuel cost for quantum-safe privacy transactions is also expected to drop from about 10 million to tens of thousands. The proposal relies on frames and recursive STARK aggregated transaction dependencies, with nodes sending a STARK of about 100 to 300KB each time period; the on-chain overhead is one STARK and 96 bytes for each statement to be proven.

According to PR Newswire, Cosmos announced the launch of the Cosmos Partner Network, uniting multiple industry service providers to assist global financial institutions in advancing digital asset-related businesses through the Cosmos Tokenization Suite and digital ledger solutions.The suite offers capabilities such as 24/7 payment settlement and fund management for banks and credit unions, and supports scenarios like programmable custody, programmable trade finance, and agency commerce. Cosmos provides tokenization and ledger platforms, while partners offer integrated services such as KYC/KYB, custody, and compliance monitoring.Cosmos Co-CEO Maghnus Mareneck stated that financial institutions understand the potential of tokenization but struggle to transition from pilot projects to high-quality real customer experiences. This network brings together relevant professional institutions to reduce the complexity of individually connecting with vendors.The first batch of the network includes 17 participants, including Anseta, Balance, BCW Group, BitGo, Blockchain.com, Blockdaemon, Coinbax, DFNS, Galaxy Digital, Hypernative, InfStones, OpenZeppelin, Peersyst Technology, Silence Laboratories, Ubyx, Utila, and Zeeve.Partners will have access to connection opportunities across Cosmos public and private networks and can participate in use cases such as tokenized deposits that Cosmos is promoting. Cosmos plans to continue expanding the network.

According to The Block, the Ink Foundation, an Ethereum L2 network under Kraken, has jointly established the Charter Foundation with crypto market maker GSR, law firms Carey Olsen, Renno & Co, Cooley, Fenwick, and auditing firms ChainSecurity, Zellic, among others. The aim is to provide a standardized shared legal framework for crypto projects to reduce token issuance costs. A spokesperson for the Ink Foundation stated that the organization is unrelated to Kraken.Currently, crypto projects typically need to independently establish a "three-entity structure" that includes a research and development entity (Labs), a Cayman Islands foundation, and a British Virgin Islands (BVI) subsidiary for issuance. The setup and independent director fees before the Token Generation Event (TGE) often exceed $100,000.The Charter Foundation aims to reduce the initial legal framework costs for token issuance by more than half by establishing a dedicated Cayman Islands exempt company as the launch structure for each project, with governance involving professional offshore compliance experts. Once the token is successfully issued, the Cayman entity will convert into an independent foundation and separate from Charter, ensuring the project's long-term independence.

Imran Khan, co-founder of Alliance, stated that Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong and Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev are leveraging their respective backgrounds to carve out different tracks in the cryptocurrency market.Vlad has built Robinhood into a platform centered around retail trading, deeply understanding the psychology and trading motivations of high-risk tolerant retail investors, which will give him an advantage in controlling retail speculation and trading in the future; while Brian has dedicated the past decade to popularizing Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency value system, deeply rooted in the Silicon Valley tech startup ecosystem, which determines that Coinbase and Base are more inclined to build underlying financial infrastructure aimed at changing the real world.Imran believes that although there is overlap in their businesses, the market space is large enough, and one party's activity in speculative trading does not mean the other party will fail. Both will lead millions of new users into the on-chain world from completely different entry points.

According to statistics from The Information, Anthropic has signed at least 14.8GW of computing power in the past 11 months, which can be gradually utilized in the coming years. Based on currently public contracts, the potential total cost could reach up to $517 billion, with most expenditures occurring over the next decade. In addition to the 1-2GW already secured before October last year, the total computing power signed by Anthropic is approximately 16GW.This round of expansion is primarily driven by the demand for Claude. This year, the growth of Claude Code and Cowork has exceeded Anthropic's expectations, prompting the company to focus on acquiring computing power. The new agreement with Amazon provides up to 5GW, while Google and Broadcom offer another 5GW, and Microsoft and NVIDIA provide approximately 1GW. Anthropic has also rented all computing power from SpaceX's Colossus 1, acquiring over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, including H100, H200, and GB200.Anthropic has secured about 16GW, with many contracts extending beyond 2030. OpenAI has set a target for investors to reach 30GW by 2030, expecting to invest approximately $750 billion in computing power by that year. The $517 billion figure is the potential maximum cost estimated by The Information based on existing cloud services, chip, and data center contracts, with some computing power potentially being delayed or unused, and some contracts allowing for early cancellation.

According to GMGN data, the Solana ecosystem meme coin ZCAT's market capitalization surpassed 170 million USD this morning, setting a new historical high, currently reported at 141 million USD, with a 24H increase of over 220%. It is reported that ZCAT is a meme coin built around the Zcash privacy narrative, depicted as an anonymous cat wearing a paper bag.Its core gameplay is to continuously distribute the profits generated from transactions to ZCAT holders in the form of ZEC, creating a narrative of "holding meme coins to earn ZEC." Crypto KOL Ansem has repeatedly posted ZCAT-related content on X. According to market news, meme coin prices are highly volatile, and investors are advised to participate cautiously.

Co-founder of Arbitrum Steven Goldfeder and co-founder of Solana Toly engaged in a debate over on-chain transaction fees, MEV protection, and the single sequencer model.Steven stated that one cannot simply compare surface-level fees. Arbitrum One and Robinhood Chain actively prevent front-running and most harmful MEV, while some chains that claim lower fees have higher MEV costs, including front-running against retail investors. He expressed a preference for paying clear fees upfront rather than incurring hidden losses from front-running, sandwich attacks, and other issues for the sake of lower fees.Toly countered that Arbitrum currently has a less favorable bid-ask spread and higher fees. The 10% cut taken from transaction fees alone translates to a cost in basis points that exceeds the loss rate from sandwich attacks, which he estimates to be about 10 times that of the latter, not accounting for the impact of the spread. He emphasized, "A single sequencer that pursues shareholder value maximization can never outperform permissionless competition."
