The design uses self-locating boundaries rather than fixed epoch-ending heights. Each block carries source and target epoch information, while a snapshot block determines the next committee. Votes for a transition attempt go to incoming validators, letting each honest member independently form the cross-epoch quorum certificate. That full fanout removes dependence on a single incoming collector and allows consecutive committees to be completely disjoint, although communication rises at the boundary to old-committee size multiplied by new-committee size. Plasma modifies Fast-HotStuff with epoch-aware quorum-certificate ordering, epoch locking and truncated finality above the snapshot. Those rules aim to prevent an older committee from…

At press time, Bitcoin was trading at about $83,198 on WazirX, $83,038.80 on CoinDCX, and $82,981.40 on CoinSwitch. This clearly shows price gaps of about $150 to $220 between the highest and lowest. Even though these gaps may seem to be small in percentage terms, they are meaningful for active traders.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev pushed back against AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron, who last week accused the trading platform of creating a “fake market” for AMC shares and threatened to involve the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Tenev argued that once a company’s shares are publicly traded, it cannot control every financial product built around them, in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” on Wedneasday. “Issuers should have control and do have control over the rights and obligations of the stock that they issue, but that doesn’t mean they control everything about it,” he said. “In particular, they don’t control…

Both agencies have proposed rules that appear to be attempting to take the place of legislation from Congress in regulating cryptocurrencies. The SEC proposed rules to provide companies with a safe harbor from tokens being treated as “investment contracts” in August, and the CFTC followed suit in October, with Selig saying the agency would use its “existing statutory authorities“ to address crypto regulation through proposed rules on exchanges. Atkins added on Oct. 2 that “more regulatory proposals [were] on the horizon” for crypto. Could one SEC commissioner have the final say on crypto rules? On Sept. 30, the SEC made…
