Golden Finance reported that Taiko, an Ethereum Layer 2 network based on zkRollup, announced on X platform that it is establishing a new bounty program, calling on all white hat hackers to participate in investigating bugs in Taiko's Based Contestable Rollup (BCR) protocol and receive rewards.

coin Jiejie.com reported: Due to bugs and technical issues with the current version of IO Cloud, IO.NET will postpone issuance Token. Ahmad Shadid, founder and CEO of Depin protocol IO.NET, a Solana ecosystem, announced that the team is addressing several important bugs and technical issues reported by users. To ensure the stability of the platform, the team implemented a transparent PoW process, will publish a public list of issues, and postponed the token issuance until the vulnerability is resolved. In addition, the team plans to dedicate resources to calculating and displaying vendor rewards and improving metrics reporting in the browser.

PANews news on April 28th, Husky.io, the Chief Security Officer of the DePIN protocol on the Solana ecosystem, io.net, released an update on the io.net metadata API attack. As previously announced, in order to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future, zero-trust authentication (OKTA) has been deployed at the device level, which requires all nodes to restart and update to the latest client. Unfortunately, this conflicts with the reward program snapshot time, which means that the expected reduction in the number of supply-side participants has been further exacerbated. Even those GPUs that are real, have been validated by Proof of Work, and have not been restarted and updated, cannot access the runtime API and send heartbeats to io.net, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of active GPU connections from 600,000 to 10,000. To address this issue, Ignition Rewards Season 2 was launched in May to incentivize suppliers to participate. We are working directly with suppliers to upgrade, restart, and reconnect to the network. Security issues have been fixed and self-service clusters have been re-enabled. Efforts are now underway to develop self-service large clusters. The browser is being updated to display recently connected but unverified devices, devices verified through proof of work, and devices that are both verified and actively sending heartbeats more clearly. "There are long bugs that need to be fixed, the user interface needs to be improved, and the requirements need to be rise," Husky.io said. Despite longing problems, the network is still serving hundreds of thousands of compute hours per month and rising. It's early days, and there will be bumps in the road. ”

PANews reported on March 6 that Silicon Valley venture capital boss Mark Anderson forwarded a screenshot of an email from OpenAI's exposure co-founder Ilya Sutskevi. Steven Sinofsky, a former Microsoft executive and now a partner on the board of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, commented: "This is a classic argument against open source related to security. The idea that open source is insecure, because the 'bad guys' can see the source code to exploit weaknesses. Closed source can prevent this. This is completely wrong. Anderson responded, "The world's most secure software is open source. Most people paid attention, and most bugs were fixed. QED (Proven)" Musk responded: "It's true. ”

PANews news on February 23, in response to the Avalanche Mainnet block outage problem, Ava Labs co-founder Kevin Sekniqi said on the X platform that the problem seems to be a gossip-related memory pool management error, which is purely a code-related error, not a performance processing problem. The inscription seems to have reached the limit of the situation, but the inscription did not affect the performance. The Mainnet outage appears to be related to an edge-case bug in mempool processing, and is currently being tested on the Avalanche Testnet for bug fixes. Previously, at 19:30 Beijing time today, the AVAX network status page reported that Avalanche developers are investigating major outages on the Mainnet.

PANews reported on December 8 that timbeiko.eth, the core developer of ETH Square, summarized the 176th ACDE meeting on Twitter. The developers discussed the state of Dencun, the timeline for the testnet, and how to plan for the next network upgrade. According to the discussion, Devnet #12于上周启动, almost all clients run on it. Bugs were found and fixed in several clients, including Reth and Lighthouse. In the meantime, the development team is ready to fork the testnet, with a large Goerli shadow fork planned in the coming weeks. The developers have unanimously agreed that if things go well, a Goerli fork date will be set in early 2024, with the goal of activating Dencun on the network in January. In addition, the meeting briefly discussed the planning of the Prague/Electra network upgrade, with two potential topics for the next upgrade being Verkle Tries on EL and DAS on CL, which still need to be "further studied". It is reported that the last ACDE meeting in 2023 will be held at 22:00 Beijing time on December 21.

PANews reported on November 24 that Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko briefly summarized the latest Ethereum Core Developer Executive Layer Meeting (ACDE): "The team is working hard to implement the latest CL specification changes and eliminate any bugs. Ben edington urged us to release Devnet 12, even if all the teams aren't ready for next week. In addition to this, it's worth reemphasizing the Goerli shutdown: once Dencun goes live on Goerli, all client teams and EF developers will stop running the Goerli validator 3 months after the Goerli Dencun upgrade or 1 month after the mainnet Dencun upgrade. While anyone can run validators on Goerli, so no one can 'turn off' the network, these validators make up the vast majority of the stake and have historically been the most reliable. After the deadline, we will be running a month of chaos testing on the network, including curtailing/withdrawing existing validators. Dencun will also be the last upgrade to go live on the testnet. So, in short, if anyone is still using Goerli as a stable testnet, I'd recommend migrating it. ”

Kinetix Network, a decentralized cross-chain trading platform, announced the completion of a round of strategic financing, led by Factor and Gnosis Chain, with a "seven-figure" funding amount. According to the team, this partnership allows Kinetex to refine its groundbreaking trading approach to transfer liquidity between networks, eliminating the need to store assets in pools and leveraging zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to enable verification without relying on third parties. Kinetex plans to launch its public testnet on Gnosis Chain early next year. The beta phase is expected to last three months and is designed to identify bugs and improve the user experience.

Cubist, a crypto wallet-as-a-service provider, announced the formation of a new "Secure Staking Alliance" that includes EigenLayer, Babylon, BridgeTower, Ankr and Redacted, as well as multiple security and interoperability protocols related to staking, Gold Finance reported. "We are collaborating on technical standards and best practices that will help teams design, build, and operate a secure staking infrastructure," the press release said. For example, we are writing specifications to steer the new protocol towards a design point that considers "anti-cut" from the start, allowing safe validators (i.e., validators that won't be cut) to run even if there are bugs and human errors. ”

As reported by Kim Shi on November 8, OpenAI said, "We have found bugs affecting all services, have found the problem and implemented a fix." Now our service is up and running.

Odaily Fidelity recently released a 13-page report on Bitcoin, responding to nine Bitcoin-related criticisms. 1. Criticism: Bitcoin is too volatile to be used as a store of value. Response: Bitcoin's volatility is a trade-off for its perfectly supplied inelastic and intervention-free markets. Bitcoin is an emerging store of value that is undergoing financialization, and its volatility will continue to decline. However, Bitcoin remains relatively volatile compared to other financial assets, which is inherent in its complete inelasticity of supply. 2. Criticism: Bitcoin has failed as a means of payment. Response: Bitcoin made trade-offs to maintain its core properties, such as decentralization and immutability, resulting in limited capacity and transaction throughput. While Bitcoin may not be able to match the transaction speed of traditional payment processors like Visa, it offers real-time final settlement. Bitcoin is also superior to traditional payment systems. L2 solutions like the Lightning Network can further improve Bitcoin's ability to make everyday payments. 3. Criticism: Bitcoin is both wasteful and bad for the environment. Response: Most Bitcoin mining is powered by renewable energy or uses energy that would otherwise go to waste. Energy consumption is justified because it provides perfect scarcity, immutability, and security. 4. Criticism: Bitcoin will be replaced by competitors. Response: Bitcoin's network effects, community, and core attributes make it difficult to replace by competitors. While other digital assets are designed to address Bitcoin's limitations, they often compromise on key features. 5. Criticism: Bitcoin is backed by nothing. Response: Bitcoin is not backed by cash flow, utilities, or government decrees. Instead, it is supported by its code and the social contract between its stakeholders. 6. Criticism: Bugs in the Bitcoin code can make it worthless. Response: Bitcoin's history includes two notable bugs, which were quickly addressed by the community. While there may be other bugs, the open-source nature of Bitcoin's code, coupled with strong incentives from stakeholders, reduces the risk of serious bugs causing irreversible damage to the network. 7. Criticism: Regulations will slow down the adoption of Bitcoin. Response: Regulation can be seen as a positive sign for Bitcoin adoption. However, the current regulatory uncertainty may hinder adoption and growth, and clear and appropriate regulation could benefit Bitcoin's growth. 8. Criticism: People may lose interest. Response: Bitcoin's value proposition relies on the subjective preferences of users and investors for its core attributes, and Bitcoin's network effects and ongoing accumulation indicate continued interest and adoption. 9. Criticism: There are "unknown unknowns". Response: There are risks that are greater than we realize, and investors should exercise caution and adjust their portfolios accordingly, but this applies to all assets, not just Bitcoin.

PANews reported on November 8 that, according to the official announcement, Optimism announced that its first network upgrade after Bedrock "Canyon" will be activated on the testnet (OP Goerli, OP Sepolia, Base Goerli, Base Sepolia, PGN Sepolia, Zora Sepolia) at 1 a.m. Beijing time on November 15. This network upgrade was built and implemented in partnership with Base. In order to be activated on OP Mainnet, Base, and other mainnets of Superchain, the Canyon hard fork still needs to go through the Optimism governance process. The Canyon upgrade includes Shanghai and Capella hard fork support as well as fixes for some minor bugs. Canyon has also made some specific adjustments to the OP Stack. This upgrade will increase the denominator of EIP-1559 from 50 to 250 to reduce the rate at which the block basefee rises when the gas target is exceeded. Users will not be affected by this testnet upgrade. Node operators need to upgrade their nodes after the Canyon upgrade.
