Audited DeFi protocols lost $885M to attacks that occurred completely outside their audit scopes
1+ day, 5+ hour ago (1191+ words) The ack3-affiliated preprint found a 72.1% outside-scope share after excluding two H1 2026 outliers, while August incidents add operational context. In decentralized finance, “audited” is often presented as a verdict on an entire project. In practice, an audit usually covers named code, components…...
Critical Bitcoin Lightning bugs exposed nodes to fund theft and restart failure
1+ day, 6+ hour ago (357+ words) LDK v0.2.6 addresses small splice-related fund losses and a payment-handling flaw that could prevent saved channel state from loading. Lightning Development Kit, a toolkit for building Bitcoin Lightning applications, released v0.2.6 on Sept. 9 with fixes for bugs that could divert small amounts…...
Bitcoin Core Lightning Docker bug leaves node operators exposed despite showing updated version
5+ day, 21+ hour ago (416+ words) Four tags served images that reported v26.06.7 without its fixes, prompting digest checks before planned source disclosure. The Bitcoin Lightning software's maintainers say four image tags delivered unpatched binaries while reporting version v26.06.7 at startup, leaving affected users with another task: check…...
Ethereum’s 2029 quantum deadline is starting to reshape what gets built next
6+ day, 8+ hour ago (861+ words) Hegotá is becoming the first major test as developers weigh faster post-quantum protections against upgrades including mandatory execution proofs. Ethereum is beginning to constrain what it can add to upcoming upgrades as developers race to make the network quantum-resistant by…...
A seven-year-old blockchain is permanently abandoning its own network to seek refuge on Ethereum
1+ week, 1+ hour ago (474+ words) The Harmony blockchain is now proposing an Ethereum migration after deciding its independent network is no longer worth preserving. Harmony is proposing to shut down the blockchain it controversially restored through a rollback less than three weeks ago. The Sept....
Solana beats Bitcoin on one key metric, but a single software bug could still take down the network
1+ week, 3+ hour ago (517+ words) A live reading is already 18, showing why institutions need more than one decentralization metric. ARK Invest and Glassnode have put a new number on blockchain capture risk: the smallest group of block-production entities needed to cross a protocol-relevant control threshold....
Ethereum’s privacy push hits a numbers problem: one proof needs nearly twice the proposed gas allowance
1+ week, 7+ hour ago (519+ words) An open Frames change would allow extra validation work at individual nodes, while studied privacy proofs still exceed its shared 100,000-gas allowance. A Sept. 5 proposal would let some Ethereum nodes accept privacy transactions that exceed a shared validation allowance, without…...
Ethereum may have a simpler way to ease the computing burden of its growing rollup ecosystem
1+ week, 7+ hour ago (423+ words) A reduced RowDAS design shares reconstruction duties in 1,000-node tests, while retaining reliance on high-custody nodes. An Ethereum prototype that divides blob-recovery duties among nodes reported an 11–18× reduction in estimated reconstruction computing work across 1,000-node simulations. The results suggest operators…...
Tokens created out of thin air may explain how $320 million in Bitcoin left the Liquid sidechain
1+ week, 5+ hour ago (529+ words) Technical accounts describe how unbacked L-BTC allegedly passed security checks, while a reported split between nodes raises questions about federation software deployment. Researchers examining the roughly $320 million Liquid Network incident have identified an alleged failure in the software’s transaction-validation cache,…...
Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin puts 60% odds on a cryptography breakthrough that could weaken Wall Street middlemen
1+ week, 8+ hour ago (804+ words) Vitalik Buterin sees a 60% chance that advanced cryptography becomes cheap enough to reshape Ethereum privacy. On Sept. 6, the Ethereum co-founder said there is a 60% probability that SNARKs, fully homomorphic encryption and indistinguishability obfuscation will eventually operate at less than 10 times…...
