  1. The REAL question here is NOT: is Ethereum missing the boat, as pointed out - Ethereum L2 an tackle high-volume activity.

    The REAL question is: Will this "perp" stuff be successful over the long haul, or is it yet another crypto flash in pan, that will take down purpose-built application-specific trading chains with it? coindesk.com/tech/2026/07/29/a #Crypto #CryptoCurrencies #Ethereum #BlockChain #PerpetualFutures #Perps #DiFi #Hyperliquid #Solana #CryptoEconomy #Layer-2-Networks

  3. And the Crypto Hacks keep on keeping on!

    Crypto exchange AFX Trade that settles in dollar-pegged stablecoin USDC was robbed of ~ $24.15M on Wed >> essentially the bandit got away with
    total value locked in the protocol!

    The attackers were able to compromise the private signing keys (hot keys) held offchain by the bridge operators or validators. The hacked keys were then used to validate signatures authorizing (fooling) the SmartContract to execute the USDC withdrawal, and the contract executed the trade. coindesk.com/tech/2026/07/23/a #Crypto #CryptoCurrencies #USDC #Arbitrum #AFXTrade #Hack #PrivateKeys #BlockChain #Layer-2-Network #Security #CryptoSecurity #SmartContract #Validators #StableCoin #Cryptography

  5. 💡 Ah yes, the riveting saga of a codec's "entropy layer" going solo, because apparently, the world needed yet another way to confuse humans with #tech #jargon. 🎉 Reminder: while you chase down those elusive #wavelet #coefficients, the rest of us are just trying to open our #vacation #photos. 🤦‍♂️

  11. ## LibreSSL 4.3.1 released!

    * Internal improvements
    - Remove the unused sequence number from X509_REVOKED.
    - Replace a call to atoi() with strtonum() in nc(1) and replace a
    misleading use of ntohs() with htons().
    - openssl(1) speed now uses HMAC-SHA256 for its hmac benchmark.
    - Reimplemented only use of ASN1_PRINTABLE_type() in openssl(1) ca.
    The API will be removed in an upcoming release.
    - Add curve NID to EC_POINT objects so the library has a clue on which
    curve a given EC_POINT is supposed to live.
    - Use curve NID to check for compatibility between group and points
    in various EC API. This isn't 100% failsafe but good enough for sane
    uses.
    - Require SSE in order to use gcm_{gmult,ghash}_4bit_mmx().
    On rare i386 machines suporting MMX but not SSE this could result
    in an illegal instruction.
    - Cleaned up asn1t.h to make it somewhat readable and more robust by
    using C99 initializers in particular.
    - Further assembly macro improvements for -portable.
    - Add fast path for well-known DH primes in DH_check() (including
    those from RFC 7919). Some projects still fiddle with this in 2025.
    - Rewrite ec_point_cmp() for readability and robustness.
    - Improve EVP_{Open,Seal}Init() internals. This is legacy API that
    cannot be removed since one scripting language still exposes it.
    - ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() now trims trailing zero bits itself rather
    than relying on i2c_ASN1_BIT_STRING() to do that when encoding.
    - Fix and add workarounds to libtls to improve const correctness and
    to avoid warnings when compiling with OpenSSL 4.
    - Prefix EC_KEY methods with ec_key_ to avoid problems in some static
    links.
