Multicoin Capital partner Tushar Jain stated that he spoke at the first meeting of the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee and presented three recommendations to CFTC Chairman Selig. These include establishing safe harbors or innovation exemptions for new markets such as derivatives, allowing builders to test ideas for compliance; supporting compliance confidentiality tools in DeFi, which provide greater transparency for regulators in managing systemic risk while protecting the privacy of institutional traders.Jain also called for support for perpetual futures before IPOs, enabling ordinary Americans to share in AI wealth creation, rather than being excluded from private markets or forced into opaque SPVs. He mentioned that he also communicated with SEC Chairman Paul Atkins that day and expressed gratitude to forward-looking regulators concerned about the future of America.

According to The Defiant, Arbitrum activated the ArbOS 61 Elara upgrade on August 20, adding optional protocol-level transaction filtering, priority fee support, and alternative data availability interfaces for dedicated chains, while adjusting the base fee management and expanding the Stylus contract capacity of Arbitrum One. The compliance filtering feature is turned off by default and requires the chain owner to actively configure external compliance service providers (such as TRM Labs or Chainalysis) and set rules, executing through a dual mechanism of simulated transactions and on-chain guardians.The priority fee feature is also turned off by default and requires the chain owner to enable it through pre-compilation. The collection of priority fees on Arbitrum One still requires a separate DAO vote. Elara also introduced the BaseFeeManager contract, allowing Offchain Labs to adjust the base fee within the DAO-approved range of 0.01 to 0.1 gwei, with a validity period of two years. The code size limit for Stylus contracts has been increased from 24KB to 96KB, which does not apply to Solidity contracts.

The open automated research challenge better.codes, created by the Ethereum Foundation's formal verification team in collaboration with Yukon and zkSecurity, is now live. This platform formalizes the self-contained problems from the Proximity Prize in Lean and places the machine-checked reliability bounds of koalaIRS12 on a public leaderboard, allowing anyone to contribute to improvements, advancing hash-based SNARK and post-quantum Ethereum-related security benchmarks.Solvers can bring their own AI agents to prove higher lower bounds of reliability for this Reed-Solomon proximity problem, moving towards a fixed target of 128 bits. The Lean kernel verifies each submission, and the promoted proofs will enhance the public bounds, with new lemmas, proof techniques, and impossibility results being synchronized upstream for reuse by all participants. Most hash SNARKs in production environments rely on related proximity gaps and related conclusion agreements, while the currently provable results remain below the benchmarks trusted by researchers; this challenge aims to narrow this gap in an open, incremental, and verifiable manner.koalaIRS12 originates from related papers and is end-to-end formalized in ArkLib. Participants can log in via GitHub and clone the challenge repository, submitting under fixed theorem statements and verification frameworks; results confirmed by the comparator and Lean kernel are recorded in a public repository, noting the solver and the model used. Today's launch features the reliability challenge that raises the proven lower bound of koalaIRS12 to 128 bits, with more problems potentially added later, subject to project terms.
