L2BEAT’s token data, retrieved at 11:30 a.m. ET on Oct. 8, counted about 6,797 $ETH. Its latest aggregate snapshot, for 10 a.m. ET, put Abstract’s total value secured at $33.38 million, including $17.74 million in canonically bridged assets.

The wider total is not a measure of native-bridge $ETH exposure alone, or money already lost. An Ethereum Queue Is Not a Guaranteed Exit L2BEAT identifies two dependencies for withdrawals: getting a transaction included and getting the rollup’s state published on Ethereum.

More Time to Intervene Mersin’s forum proposal would grant the Governor Timelock—the contract through which approved governance decisions execute—both executor and canceller roles on the Treasury Timelock. A cancellation would still require a successful governance proposal, not simply a request from one $COMP holder. The separate Treasury Escrow would get a ten-day withdrawal cooldown, with withdrawals expiring 17 days after initiation. That gives governance more time to use its existing power to reclaim escrowed assets. It does not add a function for governance to cancel an individual escrow withdrawal. What Proposal 612 Would Change The timing limitation predates this dispute.…

The technology is being developed by Arbitrum, which provides the infrastructure behind Robinhood Chain. The system, which isn’t affiliated with the chain, had been offering a paid-for transaction-ordering technology called “Timeboost” that gives users a priority-sequencing advantage in the form of a 200-millisecond head start. However, on September 24, Arbitrum replaced its Timeboost transaction-ordering system with a new model, Priority Gas Auctions, that…

Myriad: How high will Bitcoin go? Click to make your prediction. The spark was Friday’s jobs report, and it was ugly—for the economy, that is. U.S. employers added only 29,000 positions in September, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly a third of what economists expected. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2%. Revisions made it worse. July was revised from a gain of 21,000 to a loss of 10,000 jobs, and August was cut from 162,000 to 133,000. Annual wage growth cooled to 3.0%. Bad news for workers, good news for risk assets. That’s the weird math of…
