According to "Du Jia," Alibaba is conducting internal testing of the AI film and television creation platform "Looogen," with the slogan "Logical, Self-Produced." This product is positioned as a local agent for short drama and video production, capable of completing script breakdowns, shot design, character and scene material generation, voiceover and music production, and final editing through dialogue, while managing multi-episode material packages and on-set assets, supporting white model rehearsals and video expansion.Looogen offers a desktop client and local operation, supporting Windows and macOS (Intel/Apple dual chips), and provides the capability for private deployment and access to proprietary model channels. All creative sessions, generated materials, and final products are stored on local devices, forming a local closed loop in terms of data and copyright.The product offers two switchable operational modes: the film and television agent dialogue mode, driven by natural language commands for AI to automatically complete the entire process; and the film and television suite workstation mode, where creators can manually enter independent process modules for refined control. The internal test version is equipped with multiple models including Seedance 2.0, supporting three video ratios of 21:9, 16:9, and 9:16, as well as resolutions from 480P to 1080P. The product is still in the internal testing phase, and features and pricing may be adjusted, subject to official information.

ViaBTC mining pool and CoinEx trading platform founder and CEO Yang Haipo posted on X, commenting on the Binance security incident. He stated that the incident exposed at least three avoidable mistakes, which do not require complex technology; what is lacking is discipline.Yang Haipo pointed out that first, the development and operation environments were not completely isolated. Personnel with production environment permissions should use dedicated devices and not install third-party software; coding, chatting, and web browsing should be done on another device. Second, the operation and maintenance system lacked effective dual verification. A single key could operate production services, and once the key was leaked, attackers could gain full production access. He believes that production operations could be conducted in a manner similar to AWS browser-based Session Manager, using hardware security keys as a second factor to prevent a single credential leak from constituting a breach. Third, MPC multi-signature is merely nominal; the signers did not perform substantial independent verification of the transactions. Compromising one node could render the entire mechanism ineffective, resulting in the same effect as a single signature. Multi-signature is only effective when the signers do not trust each other, independently verify the transaction itself, rather than trusting upstream requests.On November 3, Binance released preliminary investigation results regarding the security incident on October 29. Binance stated that approximately $6.34 billion in digital assets were affected, and as of the update, about $2.85 billion had been frozen or intercepted, with 98% of the affected tokens having been replenished. The report indicated that attackers gained unauthorized access to the internal wallet signature service and exploited Ethereum EIP-7702 to authorize the hot wallet; due to the hot wallet using multi-party computation, it could not immediately revoke the relevant authorization with a single private key. Binance cited information from the FBI stating that North Korea is responsible for this incident.

On November 2, the agreement with the institutional infrastructure company Consensys announced the launch of Sovereign Network Interoperability in Mumbai, India at Devcon, aimed at routing and coordinating transactions between independently operated institutional ledgers. This product is targeted at banks, custodians, asset managers, and financial market infrastructure, covering routing, execution coordination, and transaction tracking. Institutions can specify transaction counterparts, approved counterparties, and settlement requirements, with the product selecting eligible paths and tracking to completion.The technology stack supports four types of institutional processes: collateral allocation, connecting assets with collateral platforms, submitting eligible collateral to clearinghouses or other approved counterparties; securities settlement, coordinating the delivery of tokenized securities on one ledger against payment on another ledger through payment versus payment; wholesale and cross-currency payments, connecting bank currency ledgers to coordinate foreign exchange transactions under agreed payment versus payment conditions; fund and asset services, connecting funds with banking platforms, allowing corporate treasurers to transfer idle cash into tokenized money market funds and back at any time, and settling fund shares in tokenized deposits in a single step.No-bridge interoperability is its core design principle, keeping assets on their native ledgers, with cross-ledger state and execution verified through cryptography, eliminating the need for additional trusted intermediaries. The core protocol is Consensys's cross-ledger interoperability protocol CLIP, which plans to support Ethereum economic zone standards, cross-chain communication protocol IBC, and other protocols, while also planning to connect Canton with Ethereum-compatible networks. Currently, EVM-based chains are supported, with Canton to be integrated later. Institutions can operate independently, operate through financial market infrastructure, or choose Consensys's custody services. Consensys President David Cunningham stated that institutions need to reach counterparties without sacrificing privacy and while maintaining control over their own infrastructure.

Binance Co-CEO and co-founder He Yi posted on X, stating that the current top priority is to ensure the safety of the environment, after which users can withdraw funds, and Binance can resume operations. She mentioned that every action has motives and pointed out that some exchanges, P2P platforms, and commercial banks have opaque ledgers, disappearing with funds after shutting down their websites, with companies going into liquidation or bankruptcy, providing any excuse, leaving no way to know how much actual funds are in the accounts and where the funds have gone.He Yi also stated that such closures often come without any warning, with the relevant parties disappearing directly, no real operations taking place, and no one coming forward to explain what happened, making it impossible to open withdrawals. She thanked users for their support at the end of her message. Binance had previously suspended withdrawals due to a security incident, and the official announcement on November 1 stated that withdrawals would be gradually restored starting from 06:00 (UTC) that day, and by 12:36 (UTC), withdrawals for the first batch of 15 networks and corresponding assets had been restored.Binance stated that from 06:00 to 15:30 (UTC) that day, the platform processed $4.649 billion in withdrawals and $1.01 billion in deposits, with a net outflow of approximately $3.64 billion, accounting for about 2.1% of the $171 billion asset management scale indicated by the reserve proof as of October 28.
