Odaily News: Ethlabs stated that with the Ethereum fast confirmation rule, Chainlink's cross-chain protocol CCIP 2.0 can reduce Ethereum transaction confirmation time to 12 to 24 seconds. This acceleration is an optional setting that must be actively enabled, and its security guarantees differ from the default path; Ethereum's full finality guarantees and CCIP's default waiting time both remain unchanged.
According to an official announcement from the Ethereum Foundation, the Ethereum Glamsterdam network upgrade has been confirmed to activate on the Sepolia testnet at 13:53:36 UTC on October 6, 2026 (Epoch 353,024), with activation times for Hoodi and the mainnet yet to be determined. Glamsterdam combines the Amsterdam execution layer and Gloas consensus layer upgrades. Core changes include introducing embedded proposer-builder separation (ePBS, EIP-7732), incorporating the block building process into the consensus protocol to reduce reliance on middleware; adding block-level access lists (BALs, EIP-7928) to enable clients to read state in parallel and verify transactions in parallel, thereby improving execution throughput. Additionally, the upgrade adjusts the gas pricing mechanism (EIP-8037/8038) to more accurately reflect the actual costs of state creation and access, requiring application developers to test their contracts to adapt to the new rules. Currently confirmed client versions supporting Sepolia activation include: consensus layer Lodestar 1.49.0, Prysm 7.2.0, Teku 26.9.1; execution layer Besu 26.9.0, Erigon 3.7.0, go-ethereum 1.17.6, Nethermind 2.0.0, Reth 2.7.0. Node operators must update simultaneously before activation.
Bitget PoolX has launched an ETH lockup event, allowing users to lock ETH to share a 500,000 USDT prize pool. As of press time, the current ETH lockup pool yield stands at 37.11% APR. The individual lockup cap is 1,500 ETH, and the lockup channel will be open from September 29, 15:00 to October 5, 15:00 (UTC+8).
Bitget PoolX has launched an ETH staking campaign, allowing users to lock their ETH to share a 500,000 USDT prize pool, with a personal staking limit of 1,500 ETH. The staking period runs from September 29 at 15:00 to October 5 at 15:00 (UTC+8). This round of PoolX features a long-term holding bonus mechanism. The system will apply additional bonuses to staked amounts based on users' minimum ETH holdings over the past 15 days. For more details, please refer to the Bitget official platform.
Odaily Report: Aave founder Stani posted on X that the Aave App now supports users depositing assets directly from Ethereum mainnet, and released a Ghost Pass code for users to try it out early.
Odaily News: According to monitoring by Bitget CEO, Bitget was hacked on September 24, with approximately $387.5 million in funds stolen, a large portion of which was transferred across chains and primarily consolidated on Ethereum. A report released by NEAR Intents shows that its risk intelligence layer SHIELD detected over $50 million in suspected money laundering transfer attempts; of this, $166,000 in funds went through, while $503,000 was frozen during execution. The frozen funds remain restricted pending subsequent legal and recovery proceedings.

According to Odaily, Binance Chinese stated on X that Binance Wallet now supports paying Gas fees with USDT, covering BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and TRON, with more public chain networks to be supported in the future.
Odaily News: According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, a GNGN-associated address (0x5d04...60db) deposited 6,100 ETH to Coinbase 8 hours ago, worth $16.38 million. Tracing back, this ETH was cross-chain bridged from the Robinhood network to the Ethereum mainnet 6 days ago, and may represent Robinhood network fee revenue.
DYORSWAP has released an "Official Statement Regarding the Fake GIWA Mainnet 9134 Incident," stating that the incident was not a DYOR contract vulnerability, but rather was caused by a fraudulent network impersonating GIWA Chain 9134. This network had a bridge and batcher similar to OP Stack, deployed on September 27, 2026, at 02:10:59 (UTC+8). Approximately 8.5 hours before deployment, the address received about 0.045 ETH from a ChangeHero-related address. Data shows that a total of 1,335 addresses bridged approximately 767.65 ETH to it, of which about 766.25 ETH was ultimately transferred out from the cross-chain bridge.DYORSWAP stated that it has already used its own funds to compensate affected users with over 200 ETH. Additionally, the team is still tracking the cross-chain bridge deployer, the source of funds, early test wallets, and the subsequent flow of the transferred funds.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, planning to achieve 1,000x scaling through over three years of protocol restructuring and to evolve toward privacy and quantum security.
Odaily reports: Vitalik posted on X that Snowmoon is now complete. Snowmoon is an original science fiction novel by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, totaling 32 chapters.This is Vitalik's first publicly released complete long-form fictional work. It is not purely an entertainment novel; rather, it embeds his years of thinking in areas such as Ethereum, mechanism design, privacy technology, and pluralistic governance into a narrative framework for exploration. After its release, it quickly sparked discussion in the crypto community, and even related meme coins emerged (such as $SNOWMOON, $ZIPCOIN, etc.), but the core remains this open-source sci-fi story itself.
According to a blog post by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum is transitioning from a traditional blockchain architecture to a "cryptographic world computer." The article notes that fundamental changes have occurred at core levels such as verification mechanisms, consensus algorithms, and block production—shifting from full-data download and re-execution to PeerDAS sampling coupled with SNARK verification, evolving consensus from PoW to a highly optimized PoS, and moving block production rights from a single miner to multi-party collaboration under the FOCIL mechanism. From a user experience standpoint, Ethereum by 2030 will achieve strong censorship resistance (ensuring real-time transaction on-chain inclusion), reduced costs for general-purpose computing, stronger privacy guarantees (leveraging ZK-SNARKs alongside private account abstraction), and lighter node operational requirements. The article emphasizes that decentralized networks are evolving from a "security burden" into a performance advantage, enabling parallel processing of data and computation. The planned Hegota upgrade will serve as Ethereum's final "routine" fork; thereafter, recursive STARKs, automated formal verification, and quantum-safe mechanisms will be fully implemented, and Ethereum's core narrative will completely pivot toward the realization of a cryptographic world computer.
Odaily News: GIWA posted on X to remind the community that the mainnet has not yet launched, so there is no possibility of a so-called "RPC leak" connecting to GIWA mainnet network interfaces/node addresses. GIWA emphasized that any content claiming to have GIWA mainnet RPC information is untrue, and reminded users to verify relevant contract information before interacting with contracts, and to beware of FUD and scams.GIWA is an Ethereum Layer 2 launched by South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, built on OP Stack. The chain is currently live on testnet, with the mainnet to follow.
The official GIWA account (@GIWA_by_Upbit) issued a clarification stating that the project's mainnet has not yet launched and no RPC has ever been deployed, meaning there is no risk of any RPC leak. Users were reminded to conduct their own research (DYOR) and remain vigilant against FUD and fraudulent information. GIWA is an Ethereum L2 project developed by Upbit’s parent company, Dunamu, based on the OP Stack. Aiming for 1-second block times and EVM compatibility, the project is currently still in the testnet phase.
Yuga Labs blockchain vice president Quit posted on X that the asset claim website for NFTs stolen in the previous Payment Processor vulnerability incident has gone live. However, if an NFT collection uses the ERC721C or ERC1155C standard, its holders may temporarily be unable to claim assets through the NFT claim website. A number of NFT collections are currently affected by this issue. The relevant collections controlled by Yuga Labs are expected to be fixed by tomorrow. In the meantime, users can enable "7702 delegate OTC" in the transfer verifier settings, or add the specified Ethereum address and ApeChain address to the 7702 delegated address whitelist to remove the relevant restrictions.
Odaily report: According to RevokeCash monitoring, if users have previously traded NFTs on the Magic Eden Ethereum marketplace, their wallets may have granted approval to Limit Break's Payment Processor contract; this contract currently has a known vulnerability, and it is recommended to revoke the approval. Magic Eden previously stated that NFTs currently still listed on its platform are not affected by this vulnerability; NFTs listed through its EVM marketplace between approximately February 2024 and October 2024 may be affected, while listings after October 2024 are in principle not affected. Magic Eden is contacting protocol owner and maintainer Limit Break to study other risk mitigation measures, including pausing protocol transfers, and continues to investigate the actual scope of impact.Users who have previously listed or traded NFTs on the Magic Eden EVM marketplace should revoke the relevant contract approvals on Ethereum, Polygon, and Base networks, and revoke all NFT approvals marked as "approved for all." Yuga Labs Blockchain Vice President Quit stated that the asset claim website for the Payment Processor vulnerability NFT theft incident has officially launched; affected users whose NFTs were successfully safeguarded can now claim, but must first revoke their approval to the Payment Processor.
Yuga Labs Blockchain VP Quit posted on X that the NFT theft claims portal currently being built is expected to go live within the next few hours, and a dedicated address nftsaresafu.eth has been created to accept donations in ETH and other tokens.Quit stated that in addition to investing significant time, they paid approximately $7,500 in gas fees last night to handle related matters, and thanked the community for its support through channels such as X Money.Earlier reports indicated that NFT marketplace Magic Eden appears to have suffered an NFT security vulnerability, with white-hat hackers moving 3,832 NFTs from hundreds of wallets, worth approximately $1.5 million.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen posted a 12-hour progress report on the security incident on X, including:1. Affected assets include ETH, XRP (largest single-chain loss), BNB, AVAX, USDT, USDC, and other tokens. Affected chains include: Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, BSC, and Base. All on-chain cold wallets have been confirmed secure and unaffected.2. All foundations of the affected chains have been contacted, and some foundations have confirmed the freezing of the hacker's wallet addresses.3. Based on IP behavioral characteristics and on-chain analysis, the attack methodology is highly consistent with known patterns of North Korean hacker groups. Relevant authorities have been notified, and full cooperation is being provided for a global investigation.4. Bitget Wallet (decentralized wallet) operates completely independently from Bitget exchange infrastructure, and this incident has no impact on it. Bitget Wallet assets are completely safe.5. Transparent disclosure regarding the platform's financial status: In addition to over $464 million in protection funds (all held in publicly verifiable wallet addresses), Bitget's own assets exceed $1 billion. User funds are covered at a 1:1 ratio, and all data can be verified on-chain.6. Regarding withdrawal recovery timing: The goal is to achieve full recovery as soon as possible. Once a specific time window is confirmed, an announcement will be made immediately. No commitment will be made to timelines that cannot be fulfilled.
