The decentralized trading protocol of PancakeSwap, The Flip proposal, has entered the governance voting phase, accompanied by CAKE supply conditions. This proposal aims to allocate 88% of the trading fees from v3 and Infinity pools to liquidity providers, with the remaining 12% going to the protocol treasury, while the fee structure for v2 remains unchanged.In terms of token issuance, the proposal plans to reduce the daily CAKE issuance from 22,500 tokens to 7,000 tokens, a decrease of about 69%, equivalent to approximately 5.66 million newly minted tokens per year. The remaining 7,000 tokens per day will be allocated to an ecological growth fund named Pantry, which will be flexibly used by The Kitchen team for marketing, partnerships, and initial liquidity for new pools.If the vote passes, implementation will begin within two weeks after approval, lasting from November 2026 to the end of January 2027, completing in about three months and being announced chain by chain.

The XRP Ledger vulnerability fix package named fixCleanup3_4_0 is expected to officially take effect around 09:34 UTC on October 23. This fix package has received votes from 29 validators, surpassing the threshold of over 80% approval among the network's default 35 validators, and must be maintained continuously for two weeks. The countdown has been ongoing for nine days. Since there is no margin in the vote count, if any validator withdraws support, the countdown will restart.This fix package partially addresses the unsecured lending system that Ripple has been promoting to banks and payment companies since June, but this system has not yet been activated. Currently, the lending amendment has only 19 votes, and the vault amendment for holding funds has 21 votes, neither of which has started the countdown. Therefore, even if both reach 29 votes today, the lending function will not be available until early November at the earliest.As designed, lenders will deposit XRP or other tokens into the vault, and loan brokers will then lend out the funds for a fixed term. The ledger is responsible for recording the loans and tracking repayments, while brokers assess the borrower's qualifications off-chain. Since borrowers do not need to provide collateral, the broker's judgment becomes the only guarantee for lenders against default losses. Ripple has promoted this scheme to payment companies that need liquidity during cross-border settlement. Additionally, the fix package also closes a vulnerability that allowed accounts authorized to destroy tokens to create new tokens under specific conditions and adjusts the rounding of vault amounts as well as the rules for determining loan overdue and default.

So far, over 170,000 people have voted, and the leading "new name" is Superior Intelligence (abbreviated as SI), with a vote percentage of 40.6%.Hours later, Elon Musk replied to the post, stating: It will be smart enough for us to not understand.

The U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill CLARITY did not receive the required 60 votes in a procedural vote in the Senate, with a result of 49 to 50.

On Wednesday, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee advanced the American Reserve Modernization Act (H.R. 8957) with a vote of 28 in favor and 21 against. All 28 votes in favor came from Republicans, while all 21 votes against came from Democrats. The bill requires the Treasury Department to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve and digital asset reserve within 180 days and mandates federal agencies to report their held assets within 60 days.The Bitcoin included in the reserve cannot be sold, exchanged, auctioned, or mortgaged for 20 years. The revised text removes provisions for purchasing more Bitcoin using Federal Reserve funds, gold certificates revaluation, and tariff revenue, adjusting the frequency of reserve proof reporting from quarterly to annually. The bill does not authorize the purchase of Bitcoin but only requires the Treasury and Commerce Departments to study acquisition plans with no cost to taxpayers.

Zcash holders voted overwhelmingly to support speeding up transaction times while retaining the Bitcoin-like halving mechanism. This governance vote was for Zcash's next major network upgrade, NU7, with nearly 2.4 million ZEC participating in the vote, accounting for about two-thirds of the approximately 3.6 million eligible ZEC at the time of the snapshot. The results were calculated based on ZEC weight, with each eligible ZEC representing one vote.Among them, 99.9% of participating ZEC supported reducing the block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, 98.9% supported retaining the Bitcoin-like halving mechanism, 96.6% supported postponing the fee reissuance of the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM) until February 20231, and 99.3% supported launching NU7 as soon as possible, giving up any unrealized features before the deadline of September 30.This vote was limited to holders of ZEC in Zcash's latest privacy transaction pool, Ironwood. The ballots were encrypted and split into 16 parts for counting, making it impossible for validators to reconstruct the specific holders' votes and balances. Previously, a sentiment survey in February for NU7 only attracted 7.25% of circulating ZEC to participate. The voting results themselves will not directly change the network; the relevant features still need to be implemented, tested, and included in the final upgrade.
