DashTape reports Liquid Network announced that the emergency release Elements v23.3.4 is now live, with Functionary nodes having immediately begun upgrades. All Liquid node operators are advised to update accordingly. This release addresses a previously identified Proof validation cache vulnerability by strengthening the cache keys used for Range Proofs. Regarding network recovery, Blockstream stated that a recovery plan is still being formulated, expected to proceed in three phases: **resume block production while continuing to pause Peg operations; replay verified valid transactions; restore Peg operations after the network state is fully recovered and fund returns are confirmed.** Currently, the first two phases are being tested in parallel, and any phase will only advance once confirmed secure. Liquid Network stated that Elements v23.3.4 has undergone multiple rounds of internal and external reviews, with participants including the Bitcoin Red Team, Alpen Labs, and other teams. Meanwhile, Liquid Network reminds users to be wary of fake upgrade websites exploiting this incident for scams. Information should only be obtained through official Liquid Network and Blockstream channels, and users should never send funds to strangers or disclose private keys or seed phrases.

DashTape reports - Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated on the X platform that Tema is launching a prediction market ETF.

DashTape reports The UAE will invest $1 billion through Marlan Space, a subsidiary of International Holding Company (IHC), in Loft Orbital, a space AI startup co-founded by France and the United States, to build an observation satellite constellation consisting of 50 satellites equipped with AI capabilities. Unlike traditional satellites that transmit data back to Earth for analysis, the company plans to use AI directly in space to process images, video, and measurement data collected by the satellites, with AI agents capable of identifying anomalies and issuing alerts within seconds.

DashTape reports According to Gate data, the UK FTSE 100 (UK100) has fallen to 10,650 points, currently reported at 10,647.36 points, down 1.3% in 24 hours.

DashTape reports On-chain data analysis platform Bubblemaps stated that LAPTOP token trading has turned into a "bloodbath," with approximately 80% of traders experiencing losses. According to its disclosure, at least 2 traders lost between $100,000 and $1 million, 100 traders lost over $10,000, approximately 700 traders lost more than $1,000, and another 11,000 or so traders incurred smaller-scale losses. Bubblemaps concluded with a sarcastic "Thank you Hunter Biden" remark about this trading performance.

DashTape reports the U.S. Treasury Department stated that it will purchase a minimum of $4 billion and a maximum of $6 billion in long-term government debt in the first operation of its expanded buyback program, demonstrating Bessent's determination to curb recent rising borrowing costs. U.S. Treasuries extended earlier losses after the announcement, suggesting the scale was smaller than some investors had expected. It remains to be seen how successful the expanded purchase program will be. Following the initial announcement of the program last month, yields fell but subsequently rebounded. The benchmark 10-year yield reached its highest level since 2023 last week. Guha, an economist who previously worked at the New York Fed, stated: "The challenge is always whether the impact of these interventions can be sustained without more significant fundamental changes." Moreover, the maximum scale of the buyback operations does not necessarily mean the Treasury will purchase that amount of debt. However, in buybacks targeting long-dated nominal debt, the department tends to purchase the full scale, having failed to do so only twice in 52 such operations since the program was relaunched in 2024.

DashTape Planet Daily Report: a16z crypto has announced the release of Lattice Jolt, a new version of its open-source zero-knowledge virtual machine. This version shifts the underlying cryptography from elliptic curves to lattice-based cryptography, equipping the system with quantum resistance while improving prover and verifier speed by 2 to 3 times, with proof sizes under 100KB. Lattice Jolt employs a novel polynomial commitment scheme called Akita, based on the Module-SIS lattice hardness assumption, targeting a 128-bit security level; it can prove over 2 million RISC-V cycles per second on a CPU, and with GPU acceleration via Apple Metal, exceeds 10 million cycles on a MacBook.

DashTape reports Vitalik posted on the X platform, expressing his hope to include the recursive STARK memory pool proposal EIP-8288 in the Ethereum I-star upgrade, stating that it can be seen as the next step after Frames. This solution can place quantum-safe signature data off-chain, reducing signature costs; the fuel cost of quantum-safe privacy transactions is also expected to drop from approximately 10 million to tens of thousands. The solution aggregates transaction dependencies through frames and recursive STARKs, with nodes sending one STARK of about 100 to 300KB per time cycle; the on-chain overhead is one STARK and 96 bytes per statement to be proven.
