Odaily reports: On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin whitepaper, proposing a peer-to-peer electronic payment system that requires no participation from banks or central institutions. Over the past 18 years, Bitcoin has evolved from a fringe experiment on the early dark web and forums into an asset class recognized by Wall Street and institutional investors. As recently as last October, $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in a single day, and the 2022 crypto winter wiped out more than $2 trillion in digital asset market value. On the 18th anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper's release, Bitcoin's price is hovering near $80,000, facing its worst month since June.Today, BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF has reached approximately $66 billion in assets, multiple public companies have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets, and traditional financial institutions are actively building out stablecoins, asset tokenization, and blockchain-based financial infrastructure. Yet this development brings a certain irony: Bitcoin was originally designed to challenge the centralized financial system, but is now increasingly being embraced by traditional financial institutions.

According to a CNBC interview with NYU mathematics professor Tristan Buckmaster relayed by Rohan Paul, Buckmaster stated that he continues to use tools such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Codex, but will not input any ideas he considers original into them. The report comes against the backdrop of OpenAI releasing 722 AI-generated mathematics papers, sparking unease among professional mathematicians. Buckmaster noted that while there are infinitely many open problems, the time constraints for Ph.D. and postdoctoral research are finite, and this disparity constitutes a source of pressure.
According to Durov's Code, Telegram is expected to launch a new cryptocurrency wallet, Gram Wallet, in the latest version 13.0 update, though the service has not yet been officially opened to users. Meanwhile, the original Wallet service has been renamed Walt and moved from the settings menu to the mini-app interface, with existing accounts and assets remaining unaffected.
Pump.fun announced the launch of the Custom Pairs feature, allowing users to pair newly issued tokens with any token already listed on the platform. Under the new mechanism, when users purchase paired new tokens, transactions will be automatically routed to the original token's liquidity pool. Each buy order will generate buying pressure for the original token, thereby enhancing its liquidity depth.
Odaily News ECX plans to launch in three phases. The Alpha phase will go live around Bitcoin block height 963,648, the Beta phase is expected on September 20 at block height 967,680, and the permanent mainnet is scheduled to launch on October 31 at block height 973,728. The project is driven by Paul Sztorc, founder and lead of Layertwo Labs, and developer of Drivechains and BIP-300/301.ECX will replicate the transaction ledger of a designated Bitcoin snapshot and allocate ECX to the majority of Bitcoin holders on a 1:1 basis on the new network. Users who control their private keys via self-custody wallets at the time of the snapshot can directly claim the corresponding assets, while users on exchanges and other custodian platforms will need to wait for those platforms to decide whether to support the fork and ECX distribution. Original BTC will not be exchanged, locked, or transferred.ECX plans to initially launch seven dedicated sidechains: Thunder, Zside, Bitnames, Bitassets, Photon, Truthcoin, and Coinshift. Of the approximately 1.1 million early Bitcoin associated with addresses linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, around 600,000 ECX will continue to be allocated to these addresses, while approximately 500,000 ECX will be transferred via special transactions as funding for early investors and development, without affecting BTC on the Bitcoin network.

BNB Chain: Former Employee Used Original Test Wallet Without Authorization to Deploy Meme Tokens, Legal Proceedings Initiated
: X platform product lead Nikita Bier announced that the platform is upgrading the anti-cheat mechanism of its Creator Revenue Share Program, targeting engagement baiting and content plagiarism.Bier stated that if an account posts "engagement baiting" content multiple times—such as "reply to me and I'll follow everyone" or similar actions to solicit engagement—cumulatively three times or more, it will be removed from the creator revenue share program and referred to the policy team for further action, including the risk of account suspension. Currently, X has identified such behaviors through the Grok AI system, and nearly 4,000 accounts have been removed from the revenue program today.Additionally, X's updated content identification model can detect duplicate content three times more efficiently than before. The platform stated that merely adding watermarks, intros, or making simple modifications will not qualify for revenue. The related commercial display revenue will be returned to the original content poster. This mechanism also applies to copying popular text posts, such as high-engagement content like "Twitter is the smoking area of the internet."According to Nikita Bier, during this detection cycle, X found approximately 1.5 million instances of stolen content. For accounts that repeatedly or deliberately attempt to evade detection, the platform will revoke their creator revenue eligibility.X stated that through these governance measures, it is expected that over $1 million in revenue will be redistributed to original content creators, aiming to improve the quality of the platform's content ecosystem.
