Ethereum arbitrage generated about $5.24 in builder receipts for every $1 burned in a 30-day sample reported by blockchain data provider Bitquery. Its allocation puts 49.3% of measured surplus toward block assembly, 9.4% toward burned fees and 41.3% with trading operators.For ETH holders, the finding shows why trading activity and the investment case for holding the token require different measures. Payments reward participants executing and ordering trades; fee burning changes ETH supply. Builders also pay validators to propose blocks, so the largest receipt bucket does not identify the largest final profit.The investigation marks its figures verified Aug. 31, 2026. Its…
Lending protocol Moonwell’s proposed rate changes could cut monthly interest accruing on bad debt by about 85%, according to Anthias Labs’ projection. Its Sept. 4 recovery update leaves access to USDC and a return to borrowing as separate hurdles.Moonwell said in the update that governance proposal MIP-X66 had entered its vote collection period. The package combines changes to market risk settings, interest-rate models and the use of protocol reserves to recapitalize the USDC market.The Sept. 4 announcement described what would happen after execution, without confirming reserve transfers or setting a supplier repayment timetable. MIP-X66’s subsequent execution status and actual USDC…
ARK Invest and Glassnode have put a new number on blockchain capture risk: the smallest group of block-production entities needed to cross a protocol-relevant control threshold.Their joint scorecard, published Sept. 1, put the threshold at three entities for Bitcoin and Ethereum and 19 for Solana. The same framework placed Bitcoin first in its composite decentralization ranking. The apparent tension reflects different forms of network exposure. The coalition needed to disrupt consensus is one risk measure; ownership, infrastructure, software, auditability and exit speed describe other routes to pressure a network.Institutions considering a blockchain as settlement infrastructure must define the failure they…
Australia’s financial intelligence regulator AUSTRAC said Sept. 7 that it canceled, suspended or refused to renew 45 remittance and virtual asset provider registrations over the past year, highlighting how failures under the registration regime can cost businesses permission to operate.The disclosure covers both sectors, with AUSTRAC saying the actions removed those businesses from its registers. AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas said businesses with canceled registrations can no longer operate. Related ReadingAustralia gives crypto firms until Sept. 30 to get licensed or risk enforcement AUSTRAC also linked its earlier cancellation of GetCoins, a virtual asset service provider, to disruption of alleged cryptocurrency…
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has pushed back against predictions that artificial intelligence could trigger a 50% Bitcoin crash within two years.The debate began after Silicon Valley investor and AI-risk commentator Liron Shapiro said he sees a 50% probability that Bitcoin will fall more than 50% over the next two years because AI undermines what investors believe are the network’s security and robustness guarantees.However, Buterin took the other side of this position, saying:My basic reasons are that I am quite optimistic about cybersecurity in the long term and I see the primary problem as being getting the transition.Buterin argued that Bitcoin…
A Sept. 5 proposal would let some Ethereum nodes accept privacy transactions that exceed a shared validation allowance, without ensuring those transactions travel across the public network. The proposed 100,000-gas guarantee remains below the proof-verification cost reported in a new privacy benchmark.The open change to EIP-8141, Ethereum’s proposed Frames transaction design, was submitted by contributor AnkushinDaniil. It would turn the existing validation maximum into a common floor: nodes would have to propagate qualifying transactions within it, while capable nodes could accept more expensive ones locally. The proposal remains under review.For Tornado Cash and RAILGUN designs studied in the benchmark, replacing…
An Ethereum prototype that divides blob-recovery duties among nodes reported an 11–18× reduction in estimated reconstruction computing work across 1,000-node simulations. The results suggest operators could reduce duplicated work through a smaller change than the full RowDAS networking proposal.Researcher Csaba Kiraly’s Sept. 3 report describes the reduced design as a possible first step toward RowDAS. It assigns recovery duties without introducing the new row-networking channels in the full proposal.Blobs carry data used by layer-2 rollups. PeerDAS, Ethereum’s system for checking that blob data is available, lets nodes download only part of it. High-custody nodes hold at least 64 of the…
KuCoin launches KCUSD with a base APR of up to 4%. KCUSD offers daily returns on eligible stablecoin balances. KuCoin plans to expand KCUSD into collateral and trading utility. KuCoin has launched KCUSD, a new Earn product designed to help stablecoin holders generate returns on otherwise idle balances. The product will be available to eligible retail, high-net-worth, and institutional users, with subscriptions initially starting from as little as 1 USDT, USDC, or USDG. KCUSD will offer a dynamic base annual percentage rate (APR) of up to 4%, with users able to earn returns simply by holding the asset. KuCoin said…
A customer using a Solana payment channel can stop buying AI services before the channel has finished paying for them. If the operator goes silent in between, the customer needs a way to recover the remaining deposit, while the merchant needs its last bill to reach the blockchain before the recovery window closes.That division of risk sits behind Solana Foundation’s Sept. 3 payment-channel announcement, which reported more than one million payments per second through a proxy using 100,000 unique wallets. The system lets agents spend against a prepaid ceiling through signed messages, reducing the need for a separate blockchain transaction…
Tokens created out of thin air may explain how $320 million in Bitcoin left the Liquid sidechain
Researchers examining the roughly $320 million Liquid Network incident have identified an alleged failure in the software’s transaction-validation cache, offering a more specific explanation for how unbacked tokens could be redeemed for real Bitcoin.Accounts also raise a deployment question. Mononaut said the exploited bug had entered Elements’ master development branch the previous week but had never appeared in a tagged release. Liquid’s federation functionaries apparently ran that code, he said, while other nodes rejected the invalid transactions.That deployment account remains unconfirmed by Blockstream in the available statements. If established, it would put the software rollout at the center of an…
