The Ethereum staking protocol Lido stated on platform X that the stETH Rebase has been completed as expected, and the missed ETH earnings due to insufficient calculations have been compensated, corresponding to an annual percentage rate (APR) of approximately 2.29%. At the same time, the protocol's oracle has been updated and passed the audit, with the new version improving report processing speed and helping to quickly identify the cause of similar issues in the future.Regarding the abnormal earnings calculation that occurred, Lido stated that contributors are currently conducting a root cause analysis, and more investigation details will be announced on the official forum and social media platforms. Throughout the entire incident, user funds have not faced any risk. The preliminary judgment is that the issue may stem from a special edge case: a validator in a pending deposit state was omitted from the earnings report, resulting in some staking earnings not being included in the calculations. Lido stated that a complete post-mortem report will be released in the coming days to further explain the cause of the issue, corrective measures, and subsequent improvement plans.

The cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX accelerated the delisting of 65 derivative contracts and spot trading pairs in July, far exceeding the 19 that were delisted in the first six months of this year. The platform attributed the delisting to "insufficient trading interest" and stated that this move is related to its decision to close the exchange. Previously, BitMEX announced that it would officially cease operations on September 23, but did not disclose the specific reason for the closure.Restructuring advisor Roshan Dharia stated that the shutdown of BitMEX reflects the structural pressures faced by mid-sized centralized exchanges: liquidity continues to concentrate on leading platforms, while compliance costs are continuously rising. Earlier, the on-chain analysis platform Bubblemaps revealed that 75% of the total supply of BitMEX tokens BMEX (originally intended for employee incentives, ecosystem growth, and long-term reserves) was never allocated as planned, with the only claim occurring in November 2022. After the shutdown announcement, the price of BMEX dropped by approximately 95%.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng paid tribute to BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes. It's unfortunate to see BitMEX shut down. Some thoughts:BitMEX was the first to launch 100x cryptocurrency trading back in 2014. Futures contracts had existed before this, making Friday trading exceptionally busy. BitMEX only accepted Bitcoin deposits, supported only one chain, allowed withdrawals once a day, and required multi-signature wallets. These seemingly inconvenient restrictions actually protected them from hacker attacks.After 18 months of struggle, the four founders ultimately admitted to violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) a month before the trial. They were each fined $10 million and placed under house arrest. No one went to prison as a result. However, their business ultimately could not withstand the "cryptocurrency war" initiated by the Biden administration.In the end, the liquidation process of BitMEX appeared orderly, and users were able to withdraw their assets. Tribute to Arthur Hayes.

Fireworks AI released an evaluation report comparing the open-source model Kimi K3 and the closed-source model Fable 5 across approximately 1030 agent tasks (covering scenarios such as SWE, terminal operations, algorithms, multilingual coding, and legal matters). The results showed that the accuracy rates for the two models on the SWE benchmark were 92.4% and 92.6%, respectively, indicating similar overall performance, but each model has its strengths in specific areas: K3 leads in symbolic mathematics and development tools, while Fable excels in web and data visualization; in long-cycle terminal tasks, K3 independently tackled 11 tasks that Fable could not solve.The report pointed out that adopting a task-level routing strategy can dynamically allocate between the two, achieving an accuracy rate of 93%, surpassing either single model. Additionally, due to K3's significant cost advantage on the Fireworks platform, costs for long-cycle agent tasks can be up to 50 times lower than Fable. The report recommends using the open-source model as the default option and continuously learning the optimal match between tasks and models through routers to balance quality and cost.

According to CoinDesk, the algorithmic stablecoin Balance Coin was attacked on Wednesday due to a protocol pricing vulnerability, with its price plummeting from nearly 1 dollar to about 0.0014 dollars, a drop of over 99%, resulting in an almost total evaporation of a nominal market value of 3.5 million dollars. Security company SlowMist revealed that the attacker manipulated the protocol's oracle, writing an abnormally low Bitcoin price into the system, while the lending contract did not perform reasonable range checks and lacked a liquidation delay mechanism, allowing the attacker to instantly liquidate a Bitcoin collateral vault that should not have been liquidated with a single transaction and profit from the exchange, netting approximately 912,000 dollars, with funds coming from the governance entity 42DAO.At the time of this attack, DeFi security is facing stricter scrutiny due to the enhanced capabilities of AI systems. Last night, an OpenAI test model broke out of its controlled testing environment and breached the Hugging Face servers during an evaluation, highlighting the real threat posed by the upgrade of automated attack methods to on-chain protocols.
