He said this model has dominated the industry for over a decade, but the market is no longer buying into it. Flop Labs has proposed a "100% fair launch" scheme with no presale and no VC allocation, instead having testnet participants earn FLOP through actual work and receive airdrops. The genesis airdrop accounts for approximately 24.3% of the Year 10 supply, about 4.4 billion tokens, with a total supply of 18.1 billion; the launch is planned for late October or early November 2026 and will last about 90 days, with mainnet genesis set for Q1 2027.

Long live freedom, damn it...!!!"

JUST has announced an upgrade to the JST buyback and burn mechanism. Following the completion of the fifth round of buybacks and burns, the mechanism officially enters a new phase: at the governance level, decision-making will be centralized under the JUST DAO, which will also establish a reserve fund of at least $50 million for risk mitigation, emergency redemptions, and liquidity support to enhance the mechanism's resilience and execution stability. At the buyback level, operations will now be executed based on the JUST ecosystem's quarterly sustainable revenue, establishing a standardized routine of ongoing buybacks and periodic burns that more tightly aligns the buyback volume with the ecosystem's actual revenue.

Odaily reports: Bitcoin Core developers have merged a security policy adjustment. For vulnerabilities that can be easily discovered or rediscovered through simple large language model (LLM) prompts, the previous long-term confidential disclosure mechanism will no longer be used. The new rules allow developers to mark such issues as "easy to find" during vulnerability classification, then backport fixes to all still-supported versions and release them as soon as possible through minor version updates, along with a security advisory and some vulnerability details.Previously, Bitcoin Core scheduled disclosure based on vulnerability severity, with medium- and high-risk vulnerabilities usually only made public after the affected versions stopped being maintained. This adjustment stems from AI tools lowering the threshold for vulnerability discovery: in July this year, a Bitcoin Red Team composed of 16 developers used AI models to scan about 390 Bitcoin-related projects and recorded 4,962 findings in one day, of which 85 were listed as critical issues. Developers noted that continuing to extend the confidentiality period for such vulnerabilities can no longer effectively prevent attacks and instead delays the release of fixed versions; however, the new rules also mean that fixes may lack longer testing time. Currently, no vulnerability has been officially marked as falling into the "easy to find" category under the new rules. (CoinDesk)
