Alternatively, users can withdraw $USDT and wBTC until each asset’s remaining value is $1 or less in every sub-account. Under the documentation’s schedule, those who miss its deadline face restrictions across their entire account for up to 30 minutes on Oct. 21. Extended says it will cancel all orders and close positions at the mark price, without fees, in sub-accounts where either asset exceeds $1. It will return $USDT and wBTC to the user’s login wallet. The restrictions also block users from adding margin or closing positions in their other sub-accounts, even though those positions remain subject to normal liquidation…

Its detailed notice says users can convert between bitcoin and L-$BTC through its app or website, but may face delays: SideSwap refills its payout wallet through bulk swaps that remain partly manual. Requests wait in a queue and are paid in arrival order once a refill lands.

A One-Time Deposit Crossover Glamsterdam brings proposer-builder separation into Ethereum’s consensus rules. Builders assemble the transaction payloads that block proposers use; the upgrade introduces staked builder accounts within the protocol. The issue describes an operator first queuing a valid builder deposit for a new public key, with withdrawals directed to the operator’s own address. A staking protocol then funds a validator deposit for that same key using its intended validator withdrawal credentials, such as `0x02`. If both deposits remain pending at the fork, the onboarding logic credits both amounts to the builder. The operator can then withdraw the protocol’s funds,…

When the Bellevue, Washington-based startup was founded in 2022, the original plan covered everything from music royalties to patents and trademarks. The idea was to let owners register their intellectual property on a blockchain and set terms for how others could use it. The problem, Muttoni said, was that many of those industries already had systems in place, while large rights holders had little interest in making their intellectual property available for permissionless licensing. “We were kind of spreading ourselves way too thin across so many different types of IP,” he said. Then came the rebrand earlier this year. However,…

The change is to finality, the point at which a transaction can no longer be reversed and the moment an exchange, bank or merchant waits for before treating an asset as moved. Under TowerBFT, Solana gave a conditional confirmation within seconds but took about 12.8 seconds to reach full finality. Alpenglow condenses those two steps into one. “This is the largest, most ambitious blockchain upgrade since ‘The Merge’ and Anza took it from a white paper to running on mainnet in under 18 months,” said Anza CEO Brennan Watt, referring to Ethereum’s 2022 switch to proof of stake. Before reaching…

An additional $5.7 million was spent opposing Sherrod Brown, the Democratic candidate for the Senate seat. Defend American Jobs spent about $24 million in the Ohio Senate race in September. Defend American Jobs has continued spending in October, with more funds opposing Brown, supporting Husted, and adding in opposition to Dan Osborn, the independent in the Nebraska Senate race. Brown has opposed the crypto industry before, describing crypto as “speculative products run by reckless companies — we know that’s true — that put Americans’ hard-earned money at risk, not surprising from an industry that was created to skirt the rules.”…

Loading post from X… View post on X How the Perpetual Is Priced Ondo’s pricing documentation describes an internal oracle that updates from order-book activity when external pricing is unavailable. Buying and selling pressure move that reference through a smoothing mechanism. The mark price, used for margin, unrealized profit and loss, and liquidations, combines the oracle with the contract’s premium or discount and local trading prices. At 9:42 a.m. ET on Oct. 21, the feed showed an OPENAI mark price of about $1,527.47 and an oracle price of $1,522.67. Those are derivatives-market reference prices, not a public-market valuation of OpenAI…
