Every summer in Gothic, Colorado, a yellow-bellied marmot walks into a wire trap baited with oats and peanut butter. A scientist weighs it, takes samples, checks its ear tags, paints a temporary identification mark on its back, and releases it back into the mountain meadow.The scientific value of this emerges through accumulation, with thousands of encounters repeated for more than six decades creating the second-longest study of individually identified wild mammals in the world. The record follows family lines, health, behavior, reproduction, and survival across generations, allowing biologists to see patterns that take much longer than a typical three-year research…

StarkWare announced Wednesday that a transaction using its Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB) method was confirmed in block 964,199, mined by MARA Pool at 8:48 p.m. UTC. QSB, designed by StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy, uses “signature grinding” to rest security on hash functions instead of the elliptic-curve cryptography a quantum computer could break. StarkWare says QSB does not make Bitcoin itself quantum-safe, and CEO Eli Ben-Sasson still wants and expects a protocol-level soft fork. StarkWare says it has run the first quantum-safe Bitcoin (BTC) transaction on mainnet, a spend confirmed in block 964,199 on Wednesday that is designed to shield the…

Analyst firm The Kobeissi Letter counted a record 4.2 billion Solana transactions in July, up 13.5% on June and 91% above December 2025. Validators are in the final epoch of Solana’s first formal governance vote on SIMD-0550, which would remove about 18.9 million SOL of issuance over six years, and SIMD-0553. All three ballot measures had met quorum by Aug. 28, and the disinflation proposal’s own modelling puts nominal staking yields at 2.25% by year three if it passes. Solana’s network processed a record 4.2 billion transactions in July, according to analyst firm The Kobeissi Letter, while validators entered the…
MANTRA Chain restored mainnet block production on v8.4.0 six days after a security incident forced a chainwide halt.

The chain said there was no rollback or state change between the halt and restart, user balances were not altered, and token holders did not need to take action.The team behind the chain marked the incident resolved on Aug. 24 but again said a postmortem would arrive in…
Ethereum’s next attempt to expand base-layer throughput includes contracts and transactions that create persistent state, which would cost far more gas for new accounts, storage slots, and deployed bytecode.The Ethereum Foundation said the candidate Glamsterdam schedule is designed to support roughly three times more base throughput by aligning gas charges with the network resources each operation consumes.The two proposals are scheduled for Glamsterdam, yet EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 both retain formal Review status. Ethereum’s official roadmap plans the upgrade for the fourth quarter of 2026, with fixed Sepolia, Hoodi, and mainnet fork dates still unannounced.That leaves builders a testing window before…
Matt Corallo followed up on an earlier post on Aug. 25, addressing what stablecoin users increasingly see: apps routing around ETH, SOL, and other non-stablecoin tokens.A wallet can let someone receive and send USDC without displaying a native-token balance. Behind that interface, an app, paymaster, sponsor, or infrastructure provider still settles the network fee in the asset the chain accepts.The native-token demand debate turns on who funds execution, manages the fee balance, and absorbs volatility after the user-facing requirement disappears.The scale of the stablecoin rail makes that question more than a user-experience footnote. Visa’s Onchain Analytics dashboard showed about $1.3 trillion…
