Sui original contributor and Mysten Labs co-founder Evan Cheng stated on the New Era Finance Podcast that AI Agents have begun to trade autonomously and manage funds, and the existing identity and trust mechanisms of the internet are struggling to keep up. Sui's goal is to become the coordination layer for the AI Agent economy. He anticipates that a large number of AI Agent activities will emerge on the Sui chain in the coming year.Progress has been made on the enterprise side. The Verifiable Agent Arbiter, co-developed by Mysten Labs and Google Cloud, uses Sui and Walrus to anchor the operational proofs of AI Agents, allowing enterprises, auditors, and regulatory bodies to independently verify whether an Agent has overstepped its authority. This tool can also interface with Sui Agent Payments and the x402 protocol, covering payment scenarios for agents.Currently, Sui has laid out technologies such as Move, PTB, Walrus, Seal, and Sphere around AI Agents, covering permission management, atomic transactions, verifiable storage, and confidential collaboration.

The digital blockchain infrastructure project Zetrix AI is facing financial difficulties, with its market value plummeting over 90% since 2026, dropping from a peak of 10.5 billion Ringgit to approximately 430 million Ringgit currently, and is at risk of defaulting on Islamic bonds. It is reported that Zetrix once held a near-monopoly position in government online services, later shifting towards AI and blockchain, and planned to list its AI business unit on NASDAQ. However, founder Wong Thean Soon was forced to sell 2.22 billion shares of the company due to margin calls on stock pledges, losing the status of the largest shareholder, which may lead the company to violate equity restriction clauses in the Islamic bondholders' agreement.Previously, Ismail Ibrahim, the Crown Prince of Johor, Malaysia, launched a stablecoin RMJDT backed by Ringgit cash and short-term government bonds, planning to issue it on the Zetrix blockchain. Zetrix also plans to participate in Malaysia's initiative to establish a national public blockchain.

The Solana block space market Gravity Block Exchange (GBX) has announced its launch on the Solana mainnet. GBX positions itself as an open and neutral block space market, where block builders compete for the ordering of each block through auctions, rather than having a single scheduler complete the ordering. Its goal is to create a unified ordering market that increases the value of validator block space through competition among builders, while providing users with a clear set of rules.The mainnet operation status announced by GBX includes: approximately 5% of the total staked validators have been connected, with rewards 20% to 30% higher than the cluster average. Currently, there are two independent block builders participating in each round of auctions, namely Bifrost from Astralane and Titan Builder from Gattaca. Public documents show that validators can connect through the Gravity Connector sidecar without the need for a custom validator fork, currently supporting Agave and Jito-Solana, while support for Firedancer is still in development; when external ordering paths are unavailable, validators can fall back to the native scheduler.

Jack Selby, head of the venture capital firm Copper Sky, believes that the highly anticipated large-scale IPO of Anthropic may mark the peak of the AI investment boom, and once the initial lock-up period ends, it could trigger a chain reaction of market corrections.In an interview with the media on Wednesday, Selby stated that if Anthropic's IPO performs poorly, it is likely to become a key factor in a large-scale correction in the future AI market. He questioned the notion that "AI demand is limitless" and stated that if conditions permit, he would significantly go long on Chinese AI, reasoning that Anthropic cannot claim that all of its business must rely on domestic U.S. models, leaving room for customers to arbitrage towards models from other countries.

According to the Bitcoin Core security announcement, the medium-severity vulnerability CVE-2025-62859 was disclosed on November 10, 2026. This vulnerability exists in versions prior to 29.2 and 30, where malicious nodes can exploit witness malleation in compact blocks to stall the block processing of victims under specific conditions.The announcement states that affected nodes will clear the download status after rebuilding the compact block and before checking the witness data. If the check fails, the node will revert to requesting the full block from the same node and wait for a 10-minute timeout. If the attacker controls three high-bandwidth peer nodes of the victim, or if the victim is running in -blockonly mode, this attack can be repeated indefinitely.This vulnerability was discovered and responsibly disclosed by Eugene Siegel, and the fix has been included in Bitcoin Core versions 29.2 and 30.

According to the official announcement, the decentralized AI network Allora has announced an extension of the lock-up period for core contributors and supporter token allocations by six months.

At that time, 50% (approximately 242.75 million ALLO) will be unlocked, and the remaining 50% will be released linearly over the following 18 months, until November 2028. This adjustment involves 485.5 million ALLO (accounting for 48.55% of the total supply), while the overall vesting schedule remains unchanged.

Porter was involved in Meta's later abandoned cryptocurrency business.In an interview, Wang stated that despite the presence of many so-called Layer 1 blockchains in the market, he still decided to develop a new blockchain because he believes it is the best technology for transferring funds.

Zcash community member ValarDragon posted on the official community forum, proposing a series of plans to be included in the NU8 network upgrade, and suggested setting the upgrade target for the end of January 2027. The main content includes the launch of the Tachyon shielded pool, expanding transaction formats, increasing the maximum block size from 2MB to 8MB, and adding support for post-quantum cryptography transparent transaction opcodes.Other proposals also include: adjusting the NSM redistribution date to be closer to the time of Zcash's seventh halving; determining a date at the protocol level for Sapling to stop accepting new deposits while continuing to support transactions and withdrawals; and eliminating the need to update the Consensus Branch ID with each network upgrade to reduce wallet compatibility issues. ValarDragon stated that with the combination of Tachyon and larger block capacity, a shielded transaction processing capability of approximately 200 TPS is expected. In addition, the post-quantum transparent transaction feature will introduce schemes based on SPHINCS with 128-bit and 192-bit security levels. The above content currently belongs to the upgrade ideas proposed by community members, and specific implementation still depends on development progress and subsequent NU8 discussions and voting.
