According to Digital Asset, the security platform OpenSourceMalware revealed in a program on October 21 that a North Korea-linked hacking group is using a technique called Contagious Interview, luring job seekers in the cryptocurrency industry through LinkedIn to invite them to visit private code repositories and install software packages required for development tasks.The attackers set up a .npmrc configuration file in the repository, causing npm to download dependencies from a specified external package repository instead of the public registry, which could potentially execute malicious code during the installation process and reduce the likelihood of being detected by public security scans. Paul McCarty, co-founder of OpenSourceMalware, stated that this type of technique has been observed recently among attackers. The specific number of victims, affected companies, or the amount of digital asset losses has not yet been disclosed.

On October 22, the Frontier Red Team of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic released research stating that large language models can automatically write formal proofs on a larger scale. The team collaborated with Theorem to use Claude to prove safety properties on over 100 real open-source libraries at the RISC-V assembly level, claiming this is the first known instance of using AI for large-scale formal verification of production software at the assembly level. During the proof-writing process, vulnerabilities that had gone undetected for years were also discovered.The experiment converted existing compilable fuzz tests from Google OSS-Fuzz into specifications: under assumptions of single-threaded static binaries, fixed memory budgets, RISC-V CPUs, and Linux, for any input less than 64 MB, the program should exit normally without triggering memory safety errors or assertion failures. Within weeks, Claude proved the aforementioned properties for 239 entry points in 123 OSS-Fuzz libraries after patching the identified issues. The proofs targeted compiled RISC-V instructions, approximately 180 million lines of Rocq, and were checked by the Rocq kernel. The page states that this does not mean these libraries are free of vulnerabilities, as remaining issues may lie outside trusted components or the scope of the proofs.The page also mentions that the team had Claude formalize RFC 1950 and proved that the zlib implementation in the Linux kernel conforms to that specification at the x86 binary level; an interpreter written in Rust covering a large subset of Python showed a 99.95% consistency with CPython behavior across over 1.7 million randomly generated programs. In 36 small verification tasks, Opus 5.5 proved that about half required approximately 40% fewer tokens than Opus 5. The team also pointed out that the proofs targeted single-threaded, statically linked RISC-V binaries, and the proof checker cannot determine whether the specifications align with reality.

On October 23, Binance wallet web developer Jackson.ll (@0xOar) posted that there are more ways to use Agent ID, but users should carefully check the risk warnings. He stated that enabling developer mode for Agent means that unverified contract transactions can be signed, and the related potential risks need to be noted. It is recommended to close it as soon as possible after completing the operation or wait for verified developer products.Binance co-founder He Yi subsequently retweeted the post. Previously, several exclusive Binance Agent wallet projects had appeared on the market, and some projects required enabling developer mode.

According to South Korean media Digital Asset, the Second Division of the Seoul Administrative Court held its first hearing on October 22 regarding the administrative lawsuit between Bithumb and the Financial Intelligence Unit of Korea (FIU). The FIU determined that between August 28, 2022, and April 3, 2025, Bithumb conducted 45,772 transactions with 18 unreported cryptocurrency operators, and based on this, imposed sanctions, including a partial suspension that restricts new customers from transferring cryptocurrency assets externally for six months.Bithumb stated in court that transactions of 1 million won or more are subject to the "travel rule," and unreported operators have been excluded from the list of optional exchanges, thus the number of violations for this amount range is zero. Transactions below 1 million won were not subject to the travel rule at that time, and the platform had no legal basis to require customers to provide information about the receiving exchange, nor did the regulatory authorities specify a blocking method. Bithumb also mentioned that after integrating the Chainalysis API, only about 2% of the addresses that could not be confirmed were later identified as unreported operators designated by the FIU. If all were blocked, the remaining 98% of normal transactions would be affected, and the platform could also face user claims.Bithumb also believes that the six-month sanction is excessive, effectively equivalent to prohibiting the platform from acquiring new customers. The company also questioned the FIU's criteria for identifying overseas operators and the reasonableness of the basis for the sanctions.

According to the announcement from Forma's official X account, the Forma mainnet will stop operating at block height 34,567,890, expected around November 5th, giving users about two weeks to withdraw on-chain funds.After the chain stops, the team will take a snapshot of the on-chain state and migrate the remaining TIA to Eden. Both chains are EVM chains, and users can use the same wallet address to withdraw funds from Eden after the migration is complete.Modularium will migrate to Ethereum, and the related NFTs will be migrated as well; holders will need to claim them themselves through the re-launched Modularium website, as NFTs will not be automatically airdropped. The official statement indicates that the migration may take several days after the chain stops, and further announcements will be made when the migration is complete, along with more details and operational instructions in the coming weeks.

Toto Finance, a company that converts physical goods into blockchain tokens, has submitted a governance proposal to the Cardano community, seeking to withdraw 22 million ADA (approximately 5 million USD) from the Cardano treasury to establish a "Cardano Strategic Copper Reserve." Voting will close on November 15. The proposal plans to purchase and tokenize copper that meets COMEX standards, with the token CuTT representing each pound of verified physical copper.According to the proposal, about two-thirds of the budget will be used to purchase exchange-grade copper from COMEX-certified warehouses near New Orleans, while the remaining one-third will cover storage, insurance, auditing, oversight, and Toto's operational costs. If the full budget is spent and the ADA to USD price remains unchanged, copper prices would need to rise by approximately 49.4% to recover the treasury investment. The proposal assumes a purchase price of $6.73 per pound and a selling price of approximately $10.06, with plans to hold for 18 to 24 months and sell in the following year, with net profits and unused funds required to be returned to the treasury before the 36th month.Monty Metzger, founder and chairman of Toto, stated that copper has significant upside potential, with an optimistic scenario predicting an annualized increase of about 30%, approximately 69% over 24 months, which could cover the 49.4% breakeven point, but commodity prices could also decline. Toto retains its commercial rights to the CuTT business for separate financing and hopes to scale the tokenized copper asset to $5 billion. The withdrawal limit of 500 million ADA from Cardano will last until around July 2027, and as of October 16, 457.4 million ADA has been used, with this proposal consuming more than half of the remaining quota.

The NFT project Ptah launched last night with a total of 100,000 pieces available for minting, and all were sold out by this morning. As of the time of writing, the floor price for this NFT is reported at $23, with a cumulative transaction volume reaching $928,000.Public information shows that the uniqueness of this project lies in the requirement for users to mint using a Binance Agent ID / Agentic Wallet (.ai Agent ID). Regular wallets cannot mint directly, but operations such as trading, synthesizing, and claiming are open to all wallets. Each Agent ID can mint a maximum of 4 Relics (with payments calculated in total using USDT and BNB). The total supply of 100,000 Relics includes 95,000 for public minting and 5,000 reserved by the team (for tutorials, demonstrations, rewards, gifts, etc.). Additionally, users can choose to burn 10 Relics to synthesize a Loom (mining machine).According to market news, the related project is still in its early stages, with high uncertainty and significant price fluctuations; users should invest with caution.

According to the market intelligence platform Liquid247.xyz, the current price of ETH is $2,387.39. The thickest order book is on Coinbase with a buy order of $13.4277 million and a sell order of $10.1938 million, resulting in a buy order exceeding the sell order by $3.234 million.The spot buy orders on Binance are also thicker than the sell orders, but the scale is smaller than that of Coinbase. The perpetual contracts on OKX and Hyperliquid have thicker sell orders. If a large buy or sell order suddenly appears, the exchanges with thinner order books will be affected first, and price fluctuations will be more pronounced.

According to Coinglass data, the current whale holdings on the Hyperliquid platform amount to 8.251 billion dollars, with long positions totaling 3.814 billion dollars, accounting for 46.22% of the holdings, and short positions totaling 4.437 billion dollars, accounting for 53.78% of the holdings. The profit and loss for long positions is 159 million dollars, while the profit and loss for short positions is -119 million dollars.Among them, the whale address 0x5b5d..60 has shorted ETH with a 5x leverage at a price of 2322.73 dollars, currently showing an unrealized profit and loss of -7.1826 million dollars.

On October 22, the smart contract security company ChainSecurity announced that the Glamsterdam hard fork on the Ethereum Hoodi testnet has been postponed. Researchers stated that security impacts have been found in existing contracts and identified 13 real cases, and they are currently conducting responsible disclosure with the affected projects. The announcement requests teams to review the contracts, and the Ethereum Foundation is assessing the scope of the impact; the announcement did not name the projects, provide contract addresses, or give an alternative fork date.The related issues involve contracts that continue execution after capturing failed external calls. Under the reviewed gas changes, the failure handler may complete execution, whereas it would previously roll back due to gas exhaustion. The caller can deliberately provide insufficient gas to complete the target operation, but enough to allow the outer contract to record a permanent failure, causing operations that could have been retried to lose their recovery path.The technical disclosure reviews EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 from the version specification dated October 13, where the gas examples described are for proposed execution behavior. The state-gas reservoir will be fully passed with the call, and forwarding restrictions apply to execution gas, with gasleft() only reporting the execution balance. According to the reviewed rules, clearing storage slots that start at zero at the beginning of a transaction can replenish up to 97,920 execution gas; intermediary contracts may also credit back the accounted state-creation fees upon REVERT and return them to the caller.
