Odaily Odaily News The United States and Iran may be nearing a temporary agreement. Several core demands previously put forward by the U.S., such as Iran suspending nuclear activities, limiting its missile program, and ceasing support for so-called “regional proxies,” were not included in the draft agreement.This still-pending agreement is centered on a short-term memorandum of just one page, rather than a comprehensive peace deal. This reflects the deep divisions between the two sides and also indicates that the agreement is only a transitional step. Informed officials say Iran is reviewing this draft agreement, which aims to stop hostilities but leaves the most contentious issues for later resolution.According to sources and officials, the agreement would consist of three phases: first, a formal end to hostilities; second, a resolution of the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz; and finally, a 30-day window for negotiations aimed at reaching a broader agreement. The agreement fails to address key U.S. demands such as Iran suspending nuclear activities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, the agreement does not mention several other demands that the U.S. had proposed but Iran rejected, such as limiting Iran's missile program and requiring Iran to cease its support for so-called “proxy forces” like Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Odaily News: sato has released a new mechanism documentation, providing further explanations on the operational logic of the Curve. The documentation reveals that sato's Bonding Curve is not a completely symmetrical exchange system; users employ different pricing logics for minting and burning, with the burn price being structurally lower than the mint price due to correction factors.According to the documentation, the sato team defines the Curve as an "issuance system + final repurchase pool," rather than a fully redeemable backstop mechanism. The Curve is primarily responsible for issuing tokens in the early stages. Once external market liquidity matures, it transforms into a "buyer of last resort," providing on-chain repurchase functionality when secondary market liquidity is insufficient.Earlier, some community developers pointed out that there is a state mismatch between ethCum and totalMintedFair within the sato Hook. This mismatch causes users to "buy at a higher Curve price and sell at a lower Curve price," where some ETH remains in the Hook reserve but cannot be fully redeemed through the selling path.

Solv Protocol has announced the migration of over $700 million in tokenized Bitcoin assets to Chainlink's cross-chain protocol CCIP, and will gradually phase out LayerZero's bridging support across multiple chains. The migration involves core assets such as SolvBTC and xSolvBTC. Solv stated that the decision is based on the latest security reviews and recent cross-chain security incidents, and CCIP will become its standard cross-chain infrastructure. This move follows Kelp DAO's migration of approximately $290 million in assets to Chainlink, further strengthening the trend of "cross-chain infrastructure shifting toward security-first migration."

Linda Jeng, Chief Legal and Policy Officer at Aave Labs, stated during Consensus Miami 2026 that Aave's previous risk framework overly focused on financial risks and price volatility. Looking ahead, the protocol will incorporate assessments of cross-chain interoperability, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and underlying asset architecture.This reform directly stems from the rsETH incident that occurred in April. At that time, an attacker exploited a vulnerability in the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge to mint approximately 116,500 unbacked rsETH (valued at around $293 million), deposited it as collateral into Aave, and borrowed real WETH, leading to significant bad debt risks for the protocol.Jeng revealed that Aave will also release a formal "listing standards handbook" for asset issuers in the future, and will begin evaluating the correlation between DeFi protocols from a systemic risk perspective, rather than analyzing individual pools in isolation.Additionally, a "DeFi United" bailout plan involving Lido Finance, EtherFi, Ethena, and others has been launched to cover collateral shortfalls and prevent further proliferation of bad debt.

Ethena officially released an arbitrage analysis on the perpetual contract market for gold tokens (PAXG, XAUT) on X. Data shows that over the past twelve months, the annualized funding rate for PAXG was 5.8%, and for XAUT it was 12.4%, both significantly higher than the average levels for BTC and ETH over the same period (5.2% and 4.1%, respectively). The daily volatility of gold funding rates is higher than that of cryptocurrencies, due to the smaller trading volume in the gold market. However, gold funding rates are positive 82% to 89% of the time, which is generally consistent with BTC (88%) and ETH (85%).Furthermore, Ethena stated that the funding rates for gold and cryptocurrencies are almost uncorrelated; when cryptocurrency funding rates are compressed, gold funding rates tend to remain stable or rise. Therefore, incorporating gold perpetual contracts into a spot-futures arbitrage portfolio (holding both spot positions and equivalent short positions) will improve yield levels and reduce yield volatility.
