Anza is charging security researchers a non-refundable 0.5 SOL to file each Alpenglow finding before the competition closes at 16:00 UTC on Aug. 19.The rules require every finding to pass through a designated portal, which burns the fee and creates one confidential GitHub Security Advisory. Reports sent through another channel are ineligible.The target is consequential. SIMD-0326 proposes Alpenglow as a backwards-incompatible replacement for Solana’s current Proof-of-History and TowerBFT consensus protocol. Anza has put the new consensus components, their validator integrations and the migration path inside the bounty’s temporary scope.

Ethereum developers are weighing a new defense against predatory trading bots that exploit pending transactions before they reach the blockchain.The problem stems from Ethereum’s public mempool, a transparent waiting room where transactions can be inspected before execution. That visibility lets automated traders spot profitable orders and place their own transactions around them, extracting value from users before a trade settles.The practice has become most closely associated with sandwich attacks. A bot spots a pending swap, buys the same asset first to move the price against the user, then sells immediately after the victim’s trade executes at the worse price.While estimates…

Coinbase’s announced Aug. 17 cutoff for USDC deposits and withdrawals on Noble had passed, but Circle’s public Noble guide was still telling users to use Coinbase and select Noble as the network as of press time Aug. 18.Coinbase’s July 15 notice did not specify a clock time or timezone for the cutoff. It warned users not to send USDC to Coinbase’s Noble deposit addresses after Aug. 17 because those funds may not be recoverable. The warning identifies a transfer risk, not evidence that users have already lost funds.Coinbase named Ethereum, Base, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon as other supported USDC…

A paper accepted for Crypto 2026 in Santa Barbara says it resolves a theoretical gap in permissionless consensus by replacing a public beacon that supplied participants with fresh random values at regular intervals.The problem is how parties can reach Byzantine agreement without knowing in advance who is participating, except for an upper bound on the number of participants, and without relying on a public-key infrastructure. Bitcoin helped motivate this line of research, but the public records do not present the new work as a Bitcoin upgrade or a change for any live network.

Early Bitcoin developer and self-proclaimed “Bitcoin thought leader,” Peter Todd, has revived debate over Bitcoin’s 21 million-coin limit and whether Bitcoin tail emission could help fund proof-of-work security as block subsidies shrink. The dispute turns on whether transaction fees alone can eventually fund adequate security.The clip posted Aug. 16 framed Todd as saying Bitcoin should eliminate the cap. Todd did not call for an immediate cap change; he framed tail emission as a long-term design question. In a July 23 talk at Bitcoin++ Toronto, Todd argued that Bitcoin is moving from subsidy-supported security toward a fee-dominant model. He said there…
