According to an announcement from Forma's official X account (@Formachain), the Forma mainnet will cease operations at block height 34,567,890, expected around November 5. Users will have approximately two weeks to withdraw on-chain funds. Following the shutdown, the team will take a snapshot of the on-chain state and migrate any remaining TIA to Eden. As both chains are EVM-compatible, users can use the same wallet address to withdraw funds from Eden once the migration is complete. Modularium will migrate to Ethereum, with related NFT assets transferred as well. Holders must claim them manually through the relaunched Modularium website; the NFTs will not be automatically airdropped. Officials noted that the migration may take several days after the shutdown. Further announcements will be issued upon completion of each migration phase, with additional details and instructions to be released in the coming weeks.
Bitcoin Core has adjusted its security vulnerability disclosure policy, defining easily discoverable vulnerabilities as those that can be found through simple large language model prompts, and will release fixes as soon as possible across all major versions still under maintenance, while publishing security advisories.Bitcoin Core developer Antoine Poinsot stated that in the past, vulnerabilities were typically kept confidential during a longer disclosure embargo period to allow users to upgrade, but large language models have lowered the threshold for rediscovering certain vulnerabilities, limiting the protective value of delayed fixes.Low-severity vulnerabilities will be disclosed two weeks after the major version containing the fix is released; medium- and high-severity vulnerabilities will be disclosed two weeks after the affected version reaches end of life, typically about one year after the fix enters a new version. Critical vulnerabilities are not subject to the standard policy and will be handled through ad hoc procedures.In August, the volunteer organization Bitcoin Red Team reported nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects, with about one-fifth having been reproduced at the time. Core Lightning developers that same month asked node operators to upgrade or take nodes offline, and delayed disclosure of technical details for two weeks. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily reports: The SlowMist security team has released a report stating that two recently disclosed high-severity PHP vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, are posing risks to the off-chain infrastructure of the Web3 industry. Both vulnerabilities have a CVSS v4.0 score of 9.2. Attackers do not need an account password or API key—simply sending a crafted request to a PHP service exposed to the public internet may allow them to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web service process.The vulnerabilities affect all versions of PHP from 5.4 to 8.5.11, and details of the flaws leaked before the official patches were released. Amazon's threat intelligence team observed actual exploitation attempts 4 days before public disclosure. Scanning by SlowMist's threat intelligence system MistEye shows that among 1,488 crypto-related domains surveyed, 793 carry direct PHP fingerprints, accounting for approximately 53.3%.Affected off-chain infrastructure includes Web3 project frontend pages, API interfaces, airdrop claim pages, operations backends, and custodial wallet services. If attackers exploit the PHP vulnerabilities to compromise a project's web server, they may tamper with frontend pages and trick users into signing malicious transactions, thereby stealing assets.Official releases of PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35 have been published, and affected projects should upgrade to the corresponding latest versions. PHP 8.1 and earlier versions have reached end-of-life for upstream regular support and should be migrated as soon as possible. Temporary mitigation measures taken when an immediate upgrade is not possible can only reduce the risk of specific attack paths; applying the patch remains the definitive solution.

According to BeInCrypto, Grayscale released a crypto asset valuation ranking evaluated based on two metrics: "Token Holder Yield" and "Adjusted Earnings Yield". HYPE topped holder yields at 8.0%, with Lighter (LIT) following closely at 7.9%, and PancakeSwap (CAKE) ranking third at 2.6%, followed sequentially by AERO, UNI, RAY, PENDLE, AAVE, JUP, and CRV. In terms of adjusted earnings yield, CAKE led at 14.4%, with LIT at 14.1% and HYPE at 9.8%, followed sequentially by RAY, AAVE, JUP, SKY, UNI, AERO, and PENDLE. The report showed that five assets on the list had negative holder yields, including AAVE, JUP, and CRV, with CRV at -5.5% and JUP at -2.6%. Grayscale calculates holder yield as staking rewards plus buybacks minus new token issuance, so holders face dilution when new issuance exceeds total yields. While JUP's adjusted earnings yield stands at 3.5%, its holder yield remains negative.
