For those of us using wallets across different apps, here’s a question worth asking: if our wallet changes how it checks signatures, will everything we use still work?
That’s what I’d want to ask Eli Ben-Sasson in this conversation about @Starknet.
With native account abstraction, signature validation sits inside the account contract. Where that account supports an upgrade, its owner can change the validation logic while keeping the same address and funds, without a network wide fork.
Think of a shop changing its locks. You still know where to find it, but the people opening the doors need keys that fit.
A wallet upgrade has a similar wrinkle. Keeping your address is useful, but connected apps and signing tools may need to support the new signature scheme too. I’d want to know whether I could keep using my usual apps or would need to update something first.
There’s another distinction worth keeping clear: signatures authorise transactions, while hash based STARK proofs verify computation. Changing account signatures doesn’t automatically make the whole network quantum safe, including its Ethereum facing dependencies.
That’s why I find programmable accounts interesting as part of Starknet’s quantum preparation. They give supported accounts a way to adapt, though experimental post-quantum demonstrations are still different from finished wallet products.
For anyone building wallets or apps here, which connections would need updating first? As a user, that’s the part I’d want explained before making the switch.

the interesting part of @zerufinance isn't just launching another meme coin
it's changing what earns you a place in the launch
with activityfi, existing onchain behavior becomes part of the process instead of making speed and connections the only advantages
take zeth as an example
ethereum activity can include trading, staking, providing liquidity, lending and borrowing
the idea is to build a market around an existing economy, where verified contributors can earn miner or creator rights and traders help determine what the market is worth
that doesn't guarantee a profitable token, and it doesn't remove speculation
but it raises a better question for every launch
what if the people who actually contributed to a community mattered more than the people who simply arrived first
i want to see how zeru turns that idea into a working launch mechanism
check your onchain history and explore activityfi 👇

Imagine upgrading your crypto wallet to protect it from future quantum attacks, only to discover that you've permanently locked yourself out of your own funds.
That would be a terrible way to solve a security problem.
And after looking into a recent experiment involving @Starknet accounts, I think this deserves more attention.
The real challenge of post-quantum security isn't just introducing stronger cryptography. It's making sure ordinary users can safely transition to it.
Here's what caught my attention.
On October 25, a developer published an experiment on the Starknet Community Forum demonstrating how existing accounts could migrate to hybrid ECDSA + Falcon-512 signature verification.
The experiment was conducted on Starknet Sepolia, not mainnet.
According to the developer, the approach worked across 11 tested wallet contract classes, including implementations associated with Argent, Braavos, OKX, Xverse and OpenZeppelin.
And here's the interesting part:
Users wouldn't necessarily need to create a completely new address or transfer their funds elsewhere.
The tested accounts could adopt new verification logic while retaining their existing addresses and balances.
That is exactly the kind of flexibility that makes Starknet's native account abstraction relevant to post-quantum preparation.
Because on Starknet, an account isn't simply a fixed signature attached to an address.
It's a programmable smart contract that can define how transactions are authorised.
But there's another side to this experiment.
On October 27, a community reviewer raised concerns about potential failure paths in the experimental implementation.
One involved key rotation.
If a wallet accepted a new key that its owner couldn't actually use to sign transactions, the account could become inaccessible.
Another concern involved changing the verification contract without adequately checking that the new verifier worked correctly.
These were technical review concerns, not evidence of an exploited production wallet.
And the implementation itself remains unaudited and experimental.
Still, I think the discussion highlights something important.
A security upgrade must protect users from new threats without introducing avoidable ways to lose access to their assets.
This is why cryptographic agility matters beyond the algorithms themselves.
It's not enough to make new signature methods technically possible.
Wallets also need reliable recovery systems, safe key rotation, tested upgrade mechanisms, secure backups and interfaces that ordinary users can understand.
A developer proving that post-quantum signatures work is one milestone.
Making those signatures safe and accessible for thousands of real users is another challenge entirely.
And neither milestone makes the whole network quantum-safe.
Personally, this is the kind of progress I want to follow as Starknet explores its future security architecture.
Not just which cryptographic algorithms are supported, but whether people can adopt them without sacrificing control of their accounts.
Because security isn't only about stopping an attacker from accessing your wallet.
It's also about making sure you can still access it yourself.

终于等到 AI 巨头 Anthropic 的上市消息了！预计 11 月中下旬挂牌，最高 2 万亿美元估值，这波泼天的富贵必须得提前布局！🔥
看了一下 OKX 上线的 Pre-IPO 盘前合约，真的是“抢跑”神器。我个人的思路是：先用小仓位在 Pre-IPO 合约里试水做个短线，测试一下市场情绪；如果上市后波动剧烈，我就直接开一个合约网格，让 AI 帮我交易 AI 公司（哈哈），不管涨跌都能赚点波动差价。
在 OKX 用 TradFi 工具交易前沿科技，确实很方便。你们觉得 Anthropic 开盘能冲多高？

Never thought we'd be trading options on GPU rental prices, haha. 😂
But here we are! @injective just introduced options for $SICI, an index tracking rental costs across five NVIDIA GPUs. AI companies could use calls to hedge rising compute costs, while GPU providers could use puts to protect against falling rental prices.
The options are still on testnet, but I love where this is heading.
GPU compute is becoming a major business expense, much like energy, and having financial tools to manage that risk makes a lot of sense.
Pretty excited to see Injective getting into this market so early 🥷💙
The cost of AI compute is becoming a major financial market, and Injective is now making it possible to hedge that cost with options.
Hundreds of billions of dollars are flowing into AI infrastructure, with demand expected to accelerate as model training, inference and autonomous agents scale globally.
Yet despite this growth, financial markets for GPU compute remain largely undeveloped.
Injective recently introduced the Super Intelligence Compute Index ($SICI), the first onchain index tracking rental prices across five NVIDIA GPUs.
Now, with the launch of Injective Options, that same index can be used to hedge against changes in GPU pricing.
→ AI companies can purchase $SICI calls to help protect against rising compute costs.
→ GPU infrastructure providers can purchase puts to help offset declining rental prices.
This is only one example of what’s now possible.
Developers can leverage the recently unveiled new options infrastructure on $INJ to launch white label exchanges, create custom derivatives markets and build entirely new financial products without developing the underlying technology from scratch.
The initial launch also supports options across US equities, gold, silver and oil, with fully collateralized contracts backed by native Injective USDC.
As the AI economy grows, Injective is bringing the financial infrastructure needed to trade and manage its underlying costs onchain.
Watch the complete demo for executing AI compute index options on Injective below 👇

Plenty of people in crypto get you to turn notifications on.
Still inspiring gratitude three years later
is a more meaningful achievement. 🤝
That’s what makes Holly’s words about @0xALTF4 worth reading.
A connection made during the 2023 inscription craze
grew into years of learning and support.
Sometimes the return on following a good account

It shows up in the better questions
you ask about the next project. 🧠
I met @0xALTF4 almost 3 years ago, right around the peak of the inscription hype.
I've learned a lot from him since then. Honestly, he knows more about crypto than 90% of the so-called CT influencers out there. You should definitely turn on his notifications.
He's helped me a lot over the years, and I really can't thank him enough. Much love, brother! 👑🫡

I entered a ranking where my wallet is the only thing that cannot help me. Effort alone shifts a score, and that changes who gets to climb.
@2FactorFinance starts from a simple claim: most borrowed exposure suits trades, not ownership.
A 2x or 3x BTC product loses ground over years, as price swings and borrowing costs weigh on it.
The protocol splits an asset's volatility into two perpetual tranches:
• Senior: deep downside protection
• Junior: levered, with no liquidation risk
The multiple fits each asset; research puts the S&P 500 near 2.1x. On Base, with Coinbase, it brings Kelly-optimized leverage onchain, a good fit for tokenized stocks.
Marks are granted for three tasks:
• Social activity
• Education
• Referrals
No purchase, deposit or holding counts, and the balance has no cash value.
Season 1 closes at launch. The ten best accounts share 1 BTC, from 18.2% at rank 1 to 1.8% at rank 10. No guarantees.

🧵 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗢 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡 𝗔 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗢𝗞É𝗠𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗗 👀🔥
Ever wondered how to rip open a Solflare Pack and what happens after the reveal?
Let me break it down step by step. 🧩👇
1/ Connect your wallet 🔗
First, head to 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗦 and connect your Solflare wallet.
This gives you access to your packs and lets you interact with the platform.
2/ Open your pack 📦
Once connected, locate the pack you want to open and enter the pack-opening interface.
This is where the fun begins. You are getting ready to discover which Pokémon card is inside!
3/ Hit the “Rip” button
This is the moment everyone is waiting for.
Click Rip to open your pack and reveal the card inside.
No more wondering what you got. The reveal is where the excitement kicks in. 👀
4/ Discover your card 🎴
After ripping the pack, you get to see your Pokémon card.
But here's what makes this interesting: 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗦 connects the digital collecting experience with real, graded Pokémon cards held in physical storage.
You're not simply looking at a random digital image. The card is represented digitally while the actual physical card is kept in a vault.
5/ What can you do after the reveal? 🤔
This is where things get even more interesting.
After revealing your card, you can explore your available options:
🔹 Keep it digitally: Hold onto your card and manage it through the digital experience.
🔹 Accept a buyback offer: Eligible cards may have a Collector Crypt buyback option within a 72-hour window. Check the specific offer and terms available to you.
🔹 Redeem the physical card: If you want the actual card in your hands, you can request physical delivery through the redemption process, subject to the platform's terms.
6/ What happens when you redeem it? 📬
When a card is physically redeemed, its associated NFT is burned.
That means the digital token representing the card is removed as part of the redemption process, rather than remaining as an active digital representation of a card that has been delivered.
7/ Why is this worth paying attention to? 👀
Traditional digital collectibles often stay entirely on-chain.
@solflare brings another dimension to collecting by linking the digital experience to physical, graded Pokémon cards.
You can open a pack digitally, discover your card, and explore what to do with it afterward.
The experience combines the excitement of ripping packs with the flexibility of managing collectibles digitally.
That's the basic flow.
For collectors, the interesting part isn't just the reveal. It's the connection between the digital collectible and the physical card behind it.
Would you keep your Pokémon card digitally, take the buyback offer, or redeem the physical card? 👇

one thing that makes @zerufinance interesting is that generating trading volume isnt enough to earn credit
the activity has to represent real market participation
i was looking through a campaign Proof page and noticed that some of the submitted volume had been filtered out before rewards were calculated
that got me thinking about how the system separates genuine trading from activity designed purely to inflate the numbers
repeated buy and sell patterns can make a wallet look busy without creating much real exposure to market movements
zerufinance gives those wash trades zero credit, while qualifying new trades can continue contributing to the score
i like the idea of measuring actual participation instead of rewarding volume blindly
but identifying coordinated activity across wallets and matching suspicious trades is not a trivial task, especially when there are large numbers of transactions to evaluate
im curious about the detection process behind the scenes
does @zerufinance use automated pattern analysis to identify matched wash trades, or are there additional checks to distinguish artificial volume from legitimate trading?
thats an important part of making the reward system credible as the number of participants grows

熊市里待久了，大部分所谓的“新模式”看两眼就知道是资金盘还是老套路。前阵子无意间翻到底仓里的 $MARS，才发现它在默默走出了自己的独立行情。
花了两天进他们社区蹲点，顺便顺着链上数据扒了一下底层逻辑，聊聊几点让我觉得有意思的地方：
1. 机制很极端，但确实解决了“挖提卖”
以往挖矿最怕大户挖完直接砸盘。MarsChain 走的是燃烧算力证明（PoC），想拿算力必须先真金白银把代币“烧”掉。这就把投机客和长期建设者天然分流了——愿意进场的，基本都默认了“用销毁换长期复投”的共识。
2. 把规则写死在链上的防崩盘设计
它内置了两个强制执行的“方程”：
预言机兜底：只要币价从高点回撤超过 50% 且持续一周，链上直接强制销毁全网 35% 流通量，同时给全网算力倍增。
圣诞通缩节点：每年 12 月 25 日同样触发 35% 强制通缩，算力阶梯式暴击（最高 160 倍）。
说白了，它不是靠人工护盘，而是用代码规则把“下跌”和“通缩拉升”绑死在一起。
3. 对新人来说，目前算是一个窗口期
早期玩家的算力基数是固定的，而最近马上要触发“预言机 20 倍算力”节点。这相当于现在参与燃烧，算力杠杆能直接放大 20 倍，比早期硬烧划算得多，这也是为什么这几天社区讨论度突然拉满。
如果不想盲目冲，完全可以零成本先去体验一下机制：

We've got AI that can write code, generate videos and answer almost anything. But getting a robot to understand a place it's never been to? That's a whole different story.
A robot needs to know more than what a door or staircase looks like. It needs to understand where things are, how much space there is and what might have changed.
And that kind of data isn't something you can just generate with a prompt.
This is why I've been following @vangrid_io. They're building a network where people can capture real locations with their phones and turn those captures into 3D spatial data, with records anchored on Base for verification.
Tbh, I think we'll need a lot more of this as Physical AI grows.
AI can learn plenty from the internet, but robots still need to figure out the world outside it

Arunachal Pradesh deserves more attention than a viral border clip.
On October 22, ITBP chief Shatrujeet Kapur acknowledged that face-offs with Chinese troops were continuing at multiple locations. That deserves clear public updates, especially when unverified invasion videos are circulating alongside actual reporting.
Meanwhile, the proposed 11,200 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project has triggered protests over ancestral land, displacement and the river’s future. Reports of women injured during confrontations and arrests of activists should put meaningful dialogue at the centre of the response.
India’s concern about China’s upstream dam is understandable. But calling a project strategically important doesn’t settle the questions of the people who would live with its consequences.
There’s another Arunachal story here too: kiwis reaching Dubai markets, and Tawang welcoming tourism delegates. People are building livelihoods while their state gets reduced to a flashpoint.
Defend the border, explain the dam, listen to residents. Those responsibilities belong together. The people of Arunachal should be central to decisions about Arunachal.

Anyone hunting airdrops in the BNB ecosystem should check out Bullshot 👀
The project has raised around $7.5M, with backers including Animoca Brands and P2 Ventures.
Bullshot is building an AI-powered memecoin launchpad that supports BNB Chain and Base.
There’s no confirmed $BULL airdrop yet, but you can start farming GEMS now to keep your options open.
🔥 How to start farming
→ Farming link: gem.bullshot.io/r/0x76e61f48
→ Connect your BNB Chain or Base wallet and link your X account.
→ Check in daily to earn around 25 GEMS + 15 XP.
→ Complete social tasks to earn more GEMS.
→ Head to the Mining section, start mining, and collect resources to exchange for GEMS.
→ Upgrade your mining equipment to improve efficiency.
⚠️ A few things to keep in mind:
Prioritize free tasks and maintain your daily check-ins.
The launchpad offers additional Points through token creation and trading, but these activities come with fees. Personally, I’m not prioritizing this part for now.
There’s no confirmed conversion rate for GEMS or Points into $BULL, and the airdrop itself hasn’t been officially confirmed.
For a new opportunity like this, take it easy and avoid committing significant funds just because you’re hoping for an airdrop 😂
Follow @Bullshot911 for updates.
Good luck, everyone 🍀

One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is how much personal information we give away just to prove something online. 🤔
Think about it. You want to prove that you completed a task, achieved something on a platform, own certain assets, or have a particular record. Sometimes, proving one simple thing means sharing screenshots, account details, transaction history, or more personal information than anyone actually needs.
And honestly, I think there should be a better way.
That’s one of the reasons @primus_labs caught my attention.
Primus is building infrastructure around privacy and verification, helping people prove that information is authentic without unnecessarily exposing the data behind it.
Its zkTLS technology can help verify information from websites and online services while protecting sensitive details. Meanwhile, Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) makes it possible to perform computations on encrypted data without first revealing the underlying information.
What I find interesting is how useful this could become beyond crypto.
Imagine proving your online achievements without handing over your entire account history. Imagine financial institutions verifying important information while keeping sensitive customer data confidential. Or applications establishing that something is true without collecting more personal information than they need.
Privacy shouldn’t mean nobody can trust your information. Verification shouldn’t mean exposing everything about yourself.
You should be able to prove what matters without exposing what doesn’t. 🔐
That’s the future Primus is working toward: bringing privacy and verification together for a more trustworthy internet and institutional onchain finance.
Watch the video, check out @primus_labs, and explore what they’re building.

Blockchain transparency has always been one of its greatest strengths.
Transactions can be verified. Assets can be tracked. Smart contracts can be inspected.
But there is another side to that transparency: not every financial activity needs to expose every detail to the entire world.
Think about everyday payments, business treasury operations, payroll, or trading strategies. Users may want the benefits of blockchain settlement without making every balance and transaction detail publicly visible.
This is why @Starknet's privacy ecosystem deserves more attention.
STRK20 introduces privacy capabilities for supported tokens on Starknet, including shielded balances and private transfers. The broader stack also includes developer tooling designed to help wallets and applications integrate privacy features.
The important point is that privacy is being treated as an application-level capability, not just an abstract cryptographic concept.
That opens up several interesting possibilities.
Payment applications could explore confidential transfers. Businesses could investigate ways to reduce unnecessary exposure of financial activity. DeFi applications could experiment with privacy-aware user experiences while retaining appropriate verification and compliance mechanisms.
There is also a practical challenge: privacy needs to be understandable and accessible.
If users need to learn an entirely new workflow, manage complicated technical settings, or sacrifice too much usability, adoption becomes difficult.
Developers therefore need more than cryptographic primitives. They need wallets, SDKs, interfaces, and clear explanations of what is private, what remains public, and what information may still be disclosed.
STRK20 is an interesting step in that direction.
Of course, privacy features do not automatically make every part of an application confidential, and compliance-related functionality does not eliminate every legal or operational risk. The actual guarantees depend on the implementation and the user's interaction with the system.
Still, the broader direction is worth watching.
The future of onchain finance shouldn't force every user to choose between verifiability and reasonable financial privacy.
Building better options for both could make blockchain applications more useful in the real world.

“0 commission” sounds useful, but I’d rather convert everything into dollars on the same trade before deciding whether it is actually cheaper
Take XAUUSD. On @bitget CFD, 1 lot of gold represents 100 oz. Under the published ECN commission structure, VIP2 and below pay $6 per lot
So a 0.1 lot position, equivalent to 10 oz, starts with $0.60 in commission before spread, slippage or overnight swap enter the calculation. At 1 lot, that becomes $6
Standard+ changes the equation by removing the fixed commission and using a unified markup model instead. On gold, that $6 ECN commission works out to roughly $0.06 per ounce. That gives me a much more useful way to think about the comparison
Suppose ECN is quoting a $0.30 spread on XAUUSD when I enter. At 0.1 lot, or 10 oz, that spread represents roughly $3 of entry friction. Add the $0.60 commission and the position starts around $3.60 behind, before slippage or swap
Now imagine Standard+ has no commission, but the effective spread after markup is $0.36. The same 10 oz position also starts around $3.60 behind
Same market. Same position size. Very different fee labels. Almost identical economic cost
Those spread numbers are illustrative, not live Bitget quotes, but this is the comparison I find more useful than simply asking which account says "0 fee"
Bitget CFD currently has four account modes built around different trading setups. ECN is more relevant to frequent traders watching execution costs closely, 0-Fee changes the commission structure for traders who prefer that model, and Pro is aimed more at advanced, higher-volume or EA-driven strategies. Standard+ adds another cost structure rather than replacing the others
There is also one practical difference with Standard+: instruments use a .p suffix. Gold becomes XAUUSD.p
That detail can matter if an EA, script or pending-order workflow was built around the original symbol
For traders who have actually run #XAUUSD across both raw-spread, commission and markup-based accounts: How much wider does the effective spread need to get before the zero-commission label stops being relevant to your strategy?
