ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, former FTX user Alexander Nikolas Gierczyk has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, accusing the hedge fund Olympus Peak of violating an agreement regarding additional bankruptcy claim proceeds. It is reported that Gierczyk transferred his bankruptcy claim worth $1.59 million to Olympus Peak at a 58% discount in November 2023.Recently, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge John Dorsey in Delaware approved the FTX asset restructuring plan. The plan is expected to repay FTX creditors between 129% and 146% of the claim value at the time of the bankruptcy filing in fiat currency. According to the lawsuit documents, based on this repayment ratio, Olympus Peak is expected to profit between $1.1 million and $1.4 million from Gierczyk's claim.The lawsuit documents indicate that although Gierczyk transferred the claim at a discount, the agreement with Olympus Peak included an "excess claim clause." This clause was originally intended to allow Gierczyk to receive additional compensation in the same proportion if the bankruptcy distribution exceeded expectations. However, the plaintiff's attorney stated that Olympus Peak has explicitly indicated it will not fulfill its obligations under this clause.

ChainCatcher news, according to the official blog, the EcoDev research team of the Ethereum Foundation has announced the launch of five six-month research fellowship positions, which are now open for applications. This fellowship provides participants with the opportunity to deeply explore underdeveloped Ethereum application scenarios, identifying potential obstacles and driving factors that may affect their development. The Ethereum Foundation invites researchers, developers, community members, and professionals from other industries to apply by submitting background information and a one-page research proposal, looking forward to receiving innovative ideas focused on emerging Ethereum application scenarios that should: substantially and uniquely benefit from Ethereum's capabilities; focus on application scenarios that can create positive outcomes and real-world benefits; and have not yet received significant attention or in-depth exploration within the Ethereum ecosystem.The fellowship focuses on researching broader, underexplored application areas rather than specific products or pre-commercialization development. Proposals for incremental improvements in areas that have already received ample research and funding support, such as automated market makers (AMMs), lending protocols, digital art, collectible intellectual property, prediction markets, domain names, etc., will not be accepted.Fellows will receive a monthly stipend to support their work; they are required to submit progress reports each month and a final report summarizing their findings at the end of the six months. Additionally, fellows will need to present their work to the EcoDev research team and have the opportunity to share insights at public events.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been criticized for allegedly violating the terms of the MIT License in its smart contracts. X user 0xCygaar (self-identified as an AbstractChain contributor) publicly accused the agency of not properly including the required license attribution when using the OpenZeppelin library (an open-source code resource). If confirmed, this omission could constitute a violation of copyright law, as the MIT License explicitly requires that any substantial use or modification of its code includes the original license. X users claim they have warned the FBI to "take necessary measures against the FBI."The MIT License governs the use of blockchain technology, particularly within the Ethereum ecosystem. It can be distributed, modified, and used for free as long as the original license terms are followed. A public inspection of the FBI's smart contract on Etherscan shows that the code is marked as "unlicensed," sparking varied reactions from the community. The implications of the alleged violation could be serious, as the MIT License, while generally considered developer-friendly, is legally binding, and if OpenZeppelin chooses to do so, it can take legal action by sending a cease-and-desist order requiring the FBI to rectify the violation or stop using the code. However, any formal lawsuit against the FBI would face challenges due to sovereign immunity.

ChainCatcher news, a member of the Abstract Chain team @0xCygaar pointed out on the X platform that the FBI is suspected of violating the MIT License when issuing the token NexFundAI.The staff member stated that the FBI directly copied several library files from OpenZeppelin in its smart contract but failed to attach the required license declaration in the code, constituting copyright infringement. According to the MIT License, all copies or substantial portions of the software must include the license declaration.Previous news, the FBI had previously created a token called NexFundAI on Ethereum to identify and combat these suspected fraudsters and bring them to justice.

According to ChainCatcher news, as reported by CryptoSlate, the latest report from ETC Group shows that despite competition from Solana and Aptos, Ethereum still maintains a 45% market share. In the third quarter, Solana led cross-chain bridge capital flows with a net inflow of $1 billion, but is facing challenges from Aptos's growth momentum. The ETC Group report indicates that Aptos's performance is 23% higher than the average of other layer one blockchains.The Comprehensive Network Dominance Index (CNDI) shows that Ethereum accounts for 45%, Solana for 35%, and Aptos for 20%. Although Ethereum has underperformed, primarily due to market pressures such as the Dencun upgrade in March 2024 and the unwinding of yen arbitrage trades in August, it still demonstrates resilience and ongoing ecosystem expansion. The network growth of Solana and Aptos is significant, with both daily active addresses and transaction volumes showing quarterly increases. Aptos's outstanding performance is largely attributed to the Tapos Cat Game, highlighting its importance in the GameFi sector and its ability to handle a large number of transactions at a lower cost.

ChainCatcher news, Greeks.live researcher Adam posted on social media that the U.S. economic data for October is strong, and market expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting on November 8 have significantly decreased. Currently, based on the 30-day federal funds futures prices, the market's expected probability for a 25 basis point rate cut at the next meeting is 85%, while the probability of no rate cut is 15%, which is significantly lower than last month.At the same time, in recent days, the probability of Trump being elected president has been rising significantly, and the balance of the U.S. election on November 5 is tilting towards Trump. From the options data, the market's volatility expectation for October is very low, with the at-the-money implied volatility (IV) already below 45%, while the at-the-money IV for the expiration on November 8, one week later, is 55%. This indicates that most market participants are cautious about betting on this month's market, and continuing to observe is the current mainstream sentiment.
