ChainCatcher news, according to Protos, Bitcoin developers recently disclosed details of a high-risk software vulnerability named CVE-2024-35202. According to senior core developers, over 13% of home and commercial computers executing Bitcoin rules globally are affected by a remote shutdown vulnerability.The vulnerability affects nodes running versions of Bitcoin Core prior to 25.0, allowing attackers to crash nodes by manipulating block transaction messages. The vulnerability originates from Core's compact block protocol, which uses shortened transaction identifiers to reduce internet bandwidth usage. Attackers can trigger conflicts in these identifiers, causing nodes to request complete blocks. While requesting complete, untruncated blocks is a security precaution, versions of the software prior to 25.0 have flaws in the logic for handling subsequent blocktxn messages.In short, nodes can be forced into an invalid state by manipulating logic gates, leading to a complete crash. Although there is no economic incentive for ordinary attackers, developers strongly recommend that node operators update to the latest version. The credit for discovering and disclosing this vulnerability goes to Niklas Gögge, and Bitcoin Core 25.0 has resolved this issue.

ChainCatcher message, the Unichain white paper states that to become a validator in UVN, node operators must stake UNI tokens on the Ethereum mainnet. The staking status is tracked in Unichain's smart contract, which receives notifications of staking and withdrawal operations through a native bridge. Unichain's blocks are divided into fixed-length Epochs. At the beginning of each Epoch, the current staked balance is snapshot, and Unichain chain fees are collected and calculated for the reward value of each staked token.Participants can also stake and vote for validators, thereby increasing the staking weight of that validator. A limited number of validators with the highest staking weight will be considered the active set and will be eligible to publish proofs and receive the designated rewards for that Epoch.

ChainCatcher news, the Glassnode Onchain Newsletter on Wednesday indicated that despite the recent pullback, the overall structure of the Bitcoin market remains consistent with historical bull markets, reflecting both the resilience of demand and the limited scale of the recent correction. The report emphasizes that although Bitcoin has experienced adjustments, these corrections have been much milder compared to previous cycles.Two key indicators highlighted by Glassnode are the True-Market Mean and the Active Investor Price, both of which help estimate the average cost basis of Bitcoin investors in the current market cycle. The True-Market Mean reflects the average price at which all market participants acquired Bitcoin over a period of time; on the other hand, the Active Investor Price specifically focuses on the average cost basis of investors who have been active in trading over the past few months.Since the beginning of this year, spot prices have generally remained above these two levels, with only brief exceptions. The report states that this indicates a strong support base, which helps stabilize the market during price declines.
