Hazync’s developer reports that a 1.7 MB standalone verifier checked a 226,434-byte cryptographic receipt covering the first 1,789 blocks of Bitcoin in 27 milliseconds. The Aug. 15 disclosure limits that result to an early stretch of Bitcoin’s history. A complete genesis-to-tip proof campaign remains unfinished.Hazync is a research prototype that uses RISC Zero’s zero-knowledge virtual machine, or zkVM, to make Bitcoin validation reusable. The zkVM executes the validation program, and the resulting receipt gives other users a compact file to check. The developer’s design concentrates proof generation among provers and leaves receipt verification to a much larger population.Those two jobs…

Solana’s new network governance system is approaching votes on its constitution, inflation schedule and fee structure. The frontend’s production bundle still contains a 60% quorum path that conflicts with the stated one-third rule.The discrepancy is a display problem, not an allegation that Solana’s on-chain voting system is corrupting votes. Pull request 170, the proposed frontend fix, remained open as of press time.A Solana Foundation repository issue recorded public proposals with voting enabled, a start at epoch 1021 and an end at epoch 1024. A network sample at 07:08 UTC implied that epoch 1021 would begin around 03:35 to 03:50 UTC…

SEC proposes a path for crypto projects to raise $75 million and later end the token’s securities contract
US regulators have already found a home for true Bitcoin perpetuals inside the CFTC’s exchange framework. The SEC is now turning to another part of the same market: how a team can pay to build a network before its token has much use.A derivatives exchange starts with an established asset and places a new contract around it. A token project usually starts with a promise. Buyers provide the capital needed to write the code, launch the network, and make the token useful, while the founding team promises to do the work that could make their purchase more valuable. That bargain…
Just 1% of wallets control $133M in midterm odds on Polymarket, creating a dangerous illusion of mass public consensus

Riot Platforms entered 2026 with 3,977 BTC pledged against a $200 million Coinbase loan. Bitcoin then fell far enough that the agreement required another 1,825 BTC, taking the collateral balance to 5,802 in February.Those coins still belonged to Riot and sat in a segregated custody account under Coinbase’s lien. Riot couldn’t deploy them elsewhere while they protected the loan, so the selloff restricted more of its treasury at the same time its core asset was weak.Now that mechanism is reversing. Bitcoin’s three-day rally carried it close to $78,000, its highest price in three months. If Riot’s latest disclosed balance of…
