The founder of the Solana landing service analysis platform Circular, Ben, stated that he believes the trading terminal Axiom charges traders through misleading "validator bribes" and routes the related funds to the landing service Lunar under HelloMoon. Ben mentioned that since April, the bribes paid by Axiom traders to Lunar amount to approximately $55.7 million, but the latest 30-day analysis shows that only about 1% can be traced back to additional on-chain validator incentives, and he inquired whether Axiom shares in this tip revenue.Circular claims that it reconstructed the activities related to Lunar and Axiom from April 26, 2026, to October 19, based on on-chain payment flows: during this period, Lunar received 530,166 SOL in bribes, valued at approximately $55.67 million based on its quoted price of $105/SOL, corresponding to 189 million successful payments of bribes to Lunar from Axiom transactions. In the last 30 days, 45 million Axiom transactions made payments to Lunar, accounting for 80.6% of successful Axiom transactions; Lunar received 138,964 SOL, approximately $14.59 million, of which about 1,579 SOL was attributed to additional on-chain validator incentives, accounting for 1.14%.Ben also cited on-chain cases from September 26 and October 7, stating that after he paid bribes as suggested by the Axiom interface, the identifiable additional priority fee increase was about 1% of the amount paid to Lunar. He indicated that Axiom controls transaction routing and fee recommendations and has published its associated Lunar address on GitHub for verification. The above content represents Circular's on-chain statistics and personal judgment, and the post also states that the related proportions do not exclude other service costs or off-chain payments, and its estimate of the platform's revenue share is not based on tracked payments to Axiom.

SpaceX's new generation spacecraft "Starship" experienced an engine failure during its 14th unmanned test flight, which may impact NASA's timeline for crewed lunar landing missions. Starship is one of the two spacecraft selected by NASA for its bid, with plans to carry out crewed lunar missions in 2028.Although multiple objectives were achieved during the test mission launched in Texas, a propulsion system failure led to an early termination of the mission.

B.AI platform announces the official launch of two efficient models in the OpenAI GPT-6 series, GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, with API and Web Chat available simultaneously.The entire series supports 1.05M ultra-long context and 128K output, natively supports image understanding and Computer Use, and provides 6 adjustable inference strengths. Among them, GPT-6 Sol is aimed at complex software engineering and Agent workflows, scoring 68.8% on DeepSWE v1.1, with single-task costs reduced by about 80%; GPT-6 Luna focuses on high-frequency large-batch loads, scoring 66.6% on DeepSWE v1.1, with input as low as $0.10/1M Tokens.Starting today, developers and users can directly call the two models through the B.AI platform.

On September 22, OpenAI released two new models, GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, just minutes after Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5.5. Both models are positioned below GPT-6 Astra and are cheaper and faster options aimed at everyday work. OpenAI also reduced the API prices for both models by 50% compared to the promotional price of GPT-5.6, with Sol's input and output prices set at $2 and $10 per million tokens, respectively, while Luna's prices dropped to $0.1 and $0.5.In terms of performance, OpenAI cited Zapier's AutomationBench benchmark, stating that GPT-6 Sol scored 33.2% under the highest inference settings, with a cost of $0.27 per task, while Claude Opus 5 scored 26.9% at its highest settings, with a cost over 11 times higher per task. In the Agents' Last Exam test, GPT-6 Sol achieved a top score of 56.4%. In the OSWorld 2 computer usage test, GPT-6 Sol nearly matched Claude Opus 5's moderate effort score at 60.5% to 60.3%, with costs approximately 80% lower.

Recently, multiple users discovered an image model named luna-lisa-alpha appearing on the LMArena testing platform, suspected to be a new generation image generation model that OpenAI is testing. Although not officially confirmed, there is speculation that it could be an early version of GPT Image 2.5 or the next generation of GPT Image.From the testing feedback, the new model shows significant improvements in character consistency, image realism, text generation capability, and noise control. Some testers compared it with models like GPT Image 2.0, Nano Banana Pro, and Grok Imagine, believing that luna-lisa-alpha can better maintain the appearance, clothing, and style of the same character across multiple generations. However, some testers pointed out that there are still issues with repeated textures in complex texture areas. On the same day, OpenAI announced that the GPT Image 2 API preview supports transparent background generation, which can be used for product images, web design, and other scenarios. The exposure of multiple checkpoint names has also led the community to speculate that OpenAI may be conducting A/B testing. Whether this model will be officially released remains uncertain, and we need to wait for official information from OpenAI.

Justin Ryan Schmidt, the founder of the cryptocurrency investment fund Translunar Crypto LP, has been sentenced to 37 months in prison by a U.S. court for tax evasion. The U.S. Department of Justice stated that the 46-year-old Schmidt pleaded guilty this year in federal court in Austin, Texas, where he was accused of underreporting income, declaring less than $5,000 in income from 2020 to 2022, while prosecutors claimed he actually earned over $7 million through fund operations from 2019 to 2022.It is reported that Schmidt founded Translunar in 2017, primarily investing in blockchain startups, with funding mainly coming from investors in the Austin area of Texas and Aspen, Colorado. He was arrested by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division on February 23, 2026, and has been in custody since then.

According to Decrypt, although Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for causing the collapse of Terra, which resulted in approximately $40 billion in losses, the abandoned original chain Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) has not disappeared. A group of community members continues to maintain the network, hoping to achieve one of the greatest revivals in the history of the cryptocurrency industry.The report states that a core community member known by the pseudonym "Vegas" lost about $50,000 during the Terra collapse and has since been involved in operating validation nodes, governance proposals, and developer coordination. He expressed that despite facing long-term internal power struggles and fraud accusations, and even being maliciously reported to the authorities, he still believes LUNC has the potential to return to the top ten in the cryptocurrency industry.After the Terra collapse in 2022, Terraform Labs launched a new chain, Terra, through a hard fork, while the original chain was retained and renamed Terra Luna Classic. Subsequently, the community organization Terra Rebels took over the maintenance work and launched a series of proposals, including a 1.2% burn tax, in hopes of revitalizing the ecosystem. However, due to disputes over fund allocation and governance, Terra Rebels eventually disbanded, and several developers left one after another.Despite this, the community continues to advance the development of projects such as lending protocols, games, and meme coins, and attempts to restore the stablecoin peg mechanism. Data shows that LUNC has risen 17.3% in the past year, but has cumulatively fallen 28.7% since 2022, with a decline of 99.99% from its historical high of $119.Some community members stated that the shared trauma after the collapse has formed a bond similar to "family," and that price is no longer the only goal. "What if we could achieve one of the greatest comebacks in cryptocurrency history? It's like a last-ditch pass." said a community member.

According to The Block, digital infrastructure company Soluna Holdings announced its first-quarter financial report, with revenue increasing by 58% year-on-year to $9.4 million, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential growth. The data center hosting business generated $6.7 million, while cryptocurrency mining contributed approximately $2.2 million, down from nearly $3 million in the same period last year.Net loss widened from $10.5 million in the same period last year to $17.9 million, primarily due to increased equity incentives, interest, and financing costs. Adjusted EBITDA loss slightly narrowed to $2.1 million. At the end of the quarter, it held $68.6 million in cash. Soluna is participating in the wave of Bitcoin miners seeking new sources of revenue, shifting capital towards AI and high-performance computing infrastructure.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) detailed the Terra/UST/LUNA collapse in his new book "Binance Life." In 2018, Binance's venture capital department invested $3 million in Terra in exchange for LUNA tokens. Starting on May 7, 2022, UST began to de-peg and rapidly collapsed, with approximately $60 billion in value evaporating.At the same time, the team informed that the early investment in LUNA was worth $1.6 billion, and CZ decided not to sell to cash out, reasoning that he did not want to trigger market panic, harm the project, or be seen as running ahead of retail investors. Nevertheless, the LUNA he held plummeted from a market value of $1.6 billion to a few thousand dollars within days, resulting in significant losses for Binance.CZ pointed out in the book that Terra claimed to have billions of dollars in reserves but did not use them to stabilize UST, and founder Do Kwon lacked transparent responses. The design of UST relied on LUNA as a reserve, and after the de-pegging, the system crazily minted LUNA, increasing the total supply by 1,000 times, accelerating the collapse. Terra ultimately used $3 billion in Bitcoin reserves to try to save the situation, but it was too late, and he expressed shock that Do Kwon might have privately kept $200 million for legal fees.

According to businesswire, Soluna Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed company developing green data centers for intensive computing applications such as Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence, announced that it has invested $53 million to acquire a wind farm located in West Texas.The completion of this transaction will initiate the development of the Dorothy 3 project to support the construction of a renewable energy-driven AI data center.
