This campaign, combined with product upgrades, brings Gate Event Contract users more market choices and a more efficient order placement experience.
Neutral Trade has announced that, due to the delayed launch of the TermMax token and the renegotiation of yield terms, the airdrop allocation for the TermMax private credit vault is now being disclosed. The airdrop portion consists of TMX tokens calculated at a $60 million FDV valuation, which will be distributed to depositors based on the September 25, 2025 snapshot ratio after being sold. The distribution plan is 50% released one month after launch, followed by 12.5% per week for 4 consecutive weeks; distribution will begin this week.
According to monitoring by PPP prediction market tool, the Polymarket "Predict.fun will issue a token before October 31" probability has risen to 22%, up 10% in 24 hours; the probability of issuing a token before November 30 has risen to 97%, up 14% in 24 hours.According to the resolution rules, if Predict.fun officially launches a governance token before the specified date, the market will resolve to Yes; otherwise, it will resolve to No. The token must have been officially launched and be publicly transferable and tradable; merely publishing an issuance announcement does not meet the resolution criteria. Resolution is primarily based on Predict.fun's official information, while also referencing the reporting consensus of credible media.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the initiative.
Hyperliquid announced that it has adjusted the new priority mechanism based on user feedback regarding testnet improvements: noop and scheduleCancel operations will no longer affect the priority of other operations, while operations other than noop, scheduleCancel, cancel, cancelByCloid, order, modify, and batchModify will lower the priority of other operations before submission is completed. Additionally, Hyperliquid announced the addition of the cDeposit2 endpoint operation, which functions similarly to cDeposit but supports agent-signed transactions.
Odaily reports: The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published draft guidance CP26-36, stating that crypto trading apps may constitute "arranging crypto trading" if they select trading venues or execution paths for clients based on price, liquidity, cost, or execution speed, and would require authorization under new rules taking effect on October 25, 2027. Modifying trading instructions, deciding execution timing, or selecting routes based on counterparty risk and expected outcomes all count as indicators of "discretionary involvement"; automated decision-making does not exempt developers or operators, while interfaces that purely relay orders without affecting execution may qualify for the technical services exemption. Existing UK crypto firms must submit applications between September 30, 2026 and February 28, 2027; the consultation period runs until November 18, and the FCA aims to publish the final guidance in January 2027, though the consultation paper states the timing as spring.
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)
According to The Washington Post, based on U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) data, the top 50 donors in the 2026 midterm election cycle have cumulatively contributed approximately $2.39 billion, with roughly $1.54 billion going to Republican-aligned campaigns, $590 million to Democratic campaigns, and $259 million to special interest groups. The cryptocurrency industry holds multiple spots among the top contributors. Coinbase ranked 11th with approximately $57.7 million, while Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss contributed a combined $55.3 million to rank 12th; Ripple came in at approximately $49.6 million, and Foris Dax at approximately $38.6 million. Among individual donors, Elon Musk leads with approximately $369 million, with his contributions primarily directed toward super PACs and related organizations that support Republican candidates.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Core developer Antoine Poinsot stated on Thursday on the bitcoin-dev mailing list that large language models (LLMs) have made certain software vulnerabilities extremely easy to rediscover. Maintaining long-term secrecy is already of limited value and instead delays the release of patched versions, prompting the team to update its vulnerability disclosure policy. The new policy dictates that "easily discoverable" vulnerabilities, which can be identified with minimal cost such as through simple LLM prompts, will be patched as soon as possible across all supported major versions, alongside the simultaneous release of security advisories. Other vulnerabilities will continue to be disclosed based on severity: low-severity vulnerabilities will be disclosed two weeks after the release of the major version containing the fix; medium-to-high-severity vulnerabilities will be disclosed two weeks after the end-of-life (EOL) of the last affected version, typically around one year after the patch release; critical vulnerabilities will be handled through a dedicated process.
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.
GMX 🫐 posted on X that it has opened the Builder Fees mechanism on Solana, allowing third-party developers to build trading interfaces, route orders, or create automation tools and charge fees from each position order submitted by users. Developers need to publish fee rates on-chain, and traders sign the rate in each order; the fee is added on top of the standard trading fee and calculated based on position changes. For example, when a position is increased by $1,000 and the fee rate is 0.01%, $0.10 is charged, with final settlement to the developer's claim vault. Orders submitted through developer interfaces will use the same liquidity pools, oracle prices, and price impact rules as other orders. Builder Fees apply to market and limit orders for increasing positions, decreasing positions, and stop-loss position reductions, but do not apply to swaps, liquidations, or ADL.
AI infrastructure startup Fireworks AI is in preliminary talks for a new funding round, targeting a valuation of $30 billion to $40 billion, a potential increase of up to 10x from its $4 billion Series C valuation in October 2025. The negotiations are still at an early stage, and the target valuation may change. The company declined to comment, and the report did not disclose the size of the round.Fireworks AI was founded in 2022 by engineers from Meta's open-source AI framework PyTorch team, and provides enterprises with services to customize and deploy open-source models based on their own data. In July 2026, the company announced the completion of a $1.505 billion Series D at a valuation of $17.5 billion, saying its annualized revenue had surpassed $1 billion and its daily token processing volume had grown from 15 trillion at the time of its previous funding round to more than 40 trillion. If the proposed valuation reaches $40 billion, it would be equivalent to roughly 40 times its previously disclosed annualized revenue. (Business Insider)

Odaily reports: South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit has issued an announcement stating that it has recently discovered bad actors impersonating the GIWA blockchain project, spreading false information about mainnet launch and digital asset issuance, and inducing users to transfer assets.Upbit stated that GIWA is an Ethereum Layer 2 network being developed by its parent company Dunamu, and is currently running only a testnet. The mainnet remains in the development and preparation stage, with no official launch date announced yet.Upbit reminds users to be wary of unconfirmed information regarding mainnet launches, token issuance, and investment opportunities, and not to trust unofficial channels that ask users to purchase digital assets, transfer funds, or connect wallets. Project updates should be based on information published on GIWA's official website and official social media channels.
Odaily reports: Decentralized trading and lending platform Dolomite has announced that, through Concrete's BTCcx infrastructure, it has integrated $100 million in Bitcoin-backed collateral into its on-chain lending market and has enabled borrowing functionality based on this collateral. BTCcx is an on-chain token issued and managed by Concrete, representing underlying Bitcoin held in qualified custody by BitGo, deployed on the Ethereum network. Concrete is responsible for the issuance and full lifecycle management of BTCcx and provides it as collateral to Dolomite's actively managed borrowing positions, allowing borrowing to be completed without the need to sell or move the underlying Bitcoin out of custody in advance. Following WLFIcx, this deployment expands the collaboration between Concrete and Dolomite from WLFI to Bitcoin and brings Bitcoin assets into Dolomite's lending market through the AssetCX architecture.
Solana's first major consensus upgrade, Alpenglow, went live on mainnet around 13:54 UTC on Wednesday. The upgrade aims to reduce transaction finality time from approximately 12.8 seconds to about 150 milliseconds, a reduction of roughly 99%.In the first phase of the upgrade, Votor will replace the existing voting and finality confirmation mechanism with direct validator voting and a certificate-based system; subsequent phases will introduce the Rotor block data dissemination protocol, replacing Turbine. At the time the upgrade launched, Solana mainnet transaction finality was 6.6 seconds, with throughput of 4,721 transactions per second.Alpenglow will replace Solana's existing TowerBFT consensus model. Validators are expected to continue developing Agave 4.5, an upgrade plan that would increase the number of accounts supported by versioned transactions from 64 to 96, currently scheduled for launch in December 2026.
