Background, Practice and Prospects of Based Booster Rollup by @jolestar
Some friends were discussing Based Rollup, mostly from a security perspective. Here, Iāll share my views on Based Booster Rollup from the perspective of L1 and L2 relationships and application building. The idea behind Based Rollup is straightforward: users submit L2 transactions directly to L1, where L1 handles the sorting and packaging. However, L1 doesnāt verify transaction validity, only ensuring transaction order and availability. L2 is a purely execution layer, processing the L2 transactio

Bitcoin Core Removes `mempoolfullrbf` and Deprecates Related Features
In a recent update to Bitcoin Core, the `mempoolfullrbf` option has been removed, alongside deprecating the `fullrbf` and `bip125-replaceable` flags. Here's a breakdown of the key changes: 1. Goodbye to `mempoolfullrbf` - The `-#mempoolfullrbf ` option, which previously allowed users to force full Replace-by-Fee (RBF) for transactions, has been removed. - The feature was found to have limited adoption by the network, making it unnecessary to keep in the codebase. 2. Deprecation of `f
#VitalikButerin 's post explores the concept of info finance, a system where financial markets are designed to extract valuable information using prediction markets as a key example. He argues that prediction markets, like #Polymarket provide more accurate insights into future events by aggregating diverse opinions. Beyond elections, #infofinance could improve governance, media, science and more by aligning incentives to produce reliable, real-time knowledge. With the help of #blockchain and #AIēå , this approach can tackle issues like trust deficits enabling better decision-making and more efficient information-sharing across various sectors.
Info finance as a three-sided market: bettors make predictions, readers read predictions. The market outputs predictions about the future as a public good (because that's what it was designed to do).
The Solana Optimistic Network (#SOON ) has launched its public testnet, marking a significant step in blockchain scalability. The testnet is fully integrated with the decoupled Solana Virtual Machine (#SVM ), which improves compatibility with Ethereum's fraud proofs. This integration allows for seamless operation with Ethereum's fraud detection systems while expanding into a broader decentralized ecosystem. Recent benchmarks for SOON show impressive performance, achieving 30,000 transactions per second (TPS) and 50-millisecond block times. This positions SOON as a potential solution to scalability issues faced by both Solana and Ethereum networks, enhancing dApp performance on its platform. SOON's development has attracted notable industry figures, including Lily Liu (Solana Foundation), Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana Labs co-founder), and Jonathan King (Coinbase Ventures), who supported the project through its "co-builder" round. This strategic backing reinforces SOONās goal of becoming a leading blockchain solution for scalable, high-performance applications - #COINCU $SOL

#COINCU North Korean hacker group #BlueNoroff has been targeting cryptocurrency firms with a new malware campaign called "Hidden Risk" since April 2023. The campaign primarily exploits MacOS vulnerabilities, delivering malware through phishing emails with fake PDF links. Once opened, these PDFs download malware that gives hackers remote access to victims' systems, enabling them to steal sensitive data, including private keys for digital wallets. The #FBI and #CISA have issued warnings about ongoing threats from North Korean hackers, particularly BlueNoroff, which has long targeted the crypto industry. In recent months, the group has increased its efforts, including using fake domains to further deceive and extort victims. This campaign follows a pattern of cyberattacks linked to the #LazarusGroup , which is also associated with high-profile cybercrimes.

In addition to trade finance, Tether is also investing in bitcoin mining, artificial intelligence, and venture capital. Despite these developments, Tether faces scrutiny from U.S. authorities over potential sanctions and money-laundering violations, which the company denies.
