The new proposal suggests eliminating the current authorization path for quantum keys via withdrawal address registration and its associated execution layer contracts. Instead, validators&#39; existing BLS signature keys would uniformly handle the registration and replacement of post-quantum keys. The proposal includes a minimum interval of 256 epochs for key replacements and incorporates replay attack protection mechanisms. Additionally, it introduces a hash-based Verifiable Random Function (VRF) root and further refines cryptographic specifications.<br/><br/>#crypto #blockchain #news 2026-10-29T04:05:19Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyvzu24hqs8gcdnk59uslf68f883t34wf2a5u4yxqmxz4l0n2xh9qzyrpptxgry6uculllpn9usewptyejsqkel5ullg5pas8cjjda9gc3xluj094 Stellar Dev Foundation launches Project Thruput tech preview on FutureNet! 🚀 This breakthrough allows parallel transaction execution updating the same state, eliminating per-transaction fees.

The analysis reveals attackers infiltrated key backend systems to forge transaction data, enabling Bitget&#39;s own authorization process to generate valid signatures for unauthorized transfers. GoPlus noted a roughly two-hour and twenty-five-minute window for fund transfers, with a significant $185 million moved in approximately one minute. The security firm has blacklisted the attacker&#39;s addresses and shared this information with ecosystem partners. GoPlus also identified a structural risk in the signature chain, similar to a 2025 Bybit incident. However, Bitget has not yet released a full technical report, leaving the precise initial intrusion method unconfirmed.<br/><br/>#crypto #blockchain #news 2026-09-26T23:08:23Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfxtyf70wxx80sky60etw3j4eenshfek6zzwpsnyzqdntt2w6gscqzyrpptxgry6uculllpn9usewptyejsqkel5ullg5pas8cjjda9gc3xkha23u DOGe Founder Leonidas questions Bitget&#39;s delisting of DOG amidst withdrawal halts.

This profitability is reportedly driving increased mining activity and enhancing network security. According to Grayscale&#39;s estimations, a single Zcash mining rig can generate approximately twice the daily mining rewards of a Bitcoin rig, and about four times the rewards per megawatt-hour, although the hardware is not interchangeable. Additional reports suggest that Zcash mining currently yields higher returns per megawatt-hour compared to some AI and high-performance computing cloud services. Overall Zcash mining activity, measured by standard hash rate, has surged by more than 2.5 times this year. This trend forms a positive feedback loop where rising token prices stimulate mining, bolster network security, and potentially support further price appreciation.<br/><br/>#crypto #blockchain #news #BTC #Bitcoin 2026-09-11T14:17:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs08j6rdfptewlaxkkn3d0979lutmcuymcke2xy49p5xs70ykjtcvqzyrpptxgry6uculllpn9usewptyejsqkel5ullg5pas8cjjda9gc3xrzzjl0 CryptoRank analysis shows a significant market cap concentration in the top 100 crypto assets as of 2026.
