Ethereums privacy push hits a numbers problem: one proof needs nearly twice the proposed gas allowance

A Sept. 5 proposal would let some Ethereum nodes accept privacy transactions that exceed a shared validation allowance, without ensuring those transactions travel across the public network. The proposed 100,000-gas guarantee remains below the proof-verification cost reported in a new privacy benchmark.  Related Asset Ethereum #2 ETH · $2,488.63 24-hour change: down 0.06% 24H Down 0.06% 7D Up 1.05% 30D Up 29.44%  The open change to EIP-8141, Ethereums proposed Frames transaction design, was submitted by contributor AnkushinDaniil. It would turn the existing validation maximum into a common floor: nodes would have to propagate qualifying transactions within it, while capable nodes could accept more expensive ones locally. The proposal remains under review.  For Tornado Cash and RAILGUN designs studied in the benchmark, replacing off-chain relayers with public submission requires proofs that nodes will accept and pass along. Allowing some nodes to accept heavier transactions would not guarantee wider network support.  The proof still exceeds the allowance  The current EIP-8141 draft caps signature checks and execution in the initial validation phase through payment approval at 100,000 gas. Gas measures computational work here, rather than a fixed fee in dollars. The limit is intended to contain node workload and denial-of-service exposure.  A Sept. 2 benchmark by mmjahanara reports an

Harmony Cites AI Threats in Proposed Blockchain Shutdown

In briefHarmony says threats from AI agents and state actors have become too great to keep its blockchain running.The team proposes moving ONE to Ethereum and redirecting token emissions toward AI video.The plan is non-binding, with users urged to exit smart contracts before September 10.  Harmony, once a prominent competitor to Ethereum, has proposed shutting down its blockchain on Sunday, saying threats from AI agents and state actors had become too great.

Flare tokenomics revamp drives staking to 21.5B FLR

Flare has recorded a roughly 34% increase in staked FLR since July, taking the total to 21.5 billion tokens as its revised economic model cuts inflation and ties more network activity to token burns and protocol revenue.  Flare staking has increased to 21.5 billion FLR  DefiLlama Research reported on Sept. 4 that Flares tokenomics changes are producing measurable onchain results four months after the network approved FIP.16.  Staked FLR rose from approximately 16 billion in July to 21.5 billion, an increase of about 34%. The portion of all staked or delegated FLR held in staking climbed from roughly 32% in April to 46% by late August, with much of the increase occurring within weeks of the July 14 network upgrade.  Under FIP.16, FLR locked on Flares P-chain carries five times the signing weight of wrapped FLR delegated on its C-chain. Delegated tokens remain liquid and can be withdrawn at any time, while P-chain staking requires holders to lock their capital with a validator.  Signing weight determines how much influence infrastructure providers have when producing blocks and operating Flares native data systems. Providers run the Flare Time Series Oracle, which supplies price feeds, and the Flare Data Connector, which verifies information from other blockchains and Web2

AAPL Price Prediction: Bulls Loading at $321 — $323 Is the Make-or-Break Wall

Lawrence Jengar  Sep 07, 2026 09:40  Apples tokenized stock is coiling beneath a critical resistance cluster at $322–$323.45, with smart money running 70% long and momentum sitting at a dead crossroads. A decisive break above that ce…  Market Context: Why AAPL is Moving Now  Apple‘s tokenized stock isn’t moving in a vacuum — it‘s tracking the underlying equity’s narrative in real time, 24/7, on Binance‘s rails. Right now, AAPL the stock is caught between two powerful gravitational forces: the relentless institutional bid driven by Apple’s expanding AI services integration in iOS and the hardware ecosystem, and a macro environment where the Fed‘s rate trajectory still hangs over high-multiple tech names like a sword. The tokenized wrapper means traders don’t have to wait for the NYSE bell — positioning happens around the clock, and thats exactly why the current $320–$323 range is so critical to watch right now, not at 9:30 AM ET.  At $320.98, the token is essentially flatlined on the session — down a whisker at -0.27% — but that calm surface hides a building tension. Price is sitting comfortably above both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages (at $317.29 and $316.74 respectively), confirming the medium-term trend is still constructive. The problem is the

USD/JPY outlook: Japanese yen extends gains, hits the highest in over six months

USD/JPY  USDJPY accelerated lower at the start of the week (down over 1% in Asian early European trading on Monday), attempting to resume a sharp fall of last week, which made a brief pause on Friday.  Japanese yen was lifted from its multi-decade lows by the first intervention in late July and received fresh boost by strong hawkish shift in BoJ‘s rhetoric which signals rate hike in September policy meeting (most of economists expect 25 basis points hike but 50 basis points increase is also in play) as well as change in traders’ sentiment favoring further yen longs.  Todays violation of key 155.20 support zone (lows of Aug 3 Sep 3,4), generates negative signal of bearish continuation on completion of bearish failure swing pattern on daily chart, with break below 154.78 (Fibo 38.2% of 139.88/163.98 uptrend) to validate signal and expose targets at 152.00 zone Jan 25 trough 50% retracement) and 150.92 (27 July 2025 spike high).

Harmony Shuts Down Layer-1 Chain: ONE Crypto Moving to ETH

Interesting Ethereum news: ETH trades around $2500, up a modest 0.05% on the day, as the network absorbs news that another layer-1 chain is folding into its ecosystem. Harmony, the seven-year-old Ethereum-compatible blockchain behind the ONE token, has proposed shutting down its independent chain entirely and migrating ONE to Ethereum as an ERC-20 asset.  The plan involves a final network snapshot, an airdrop to matching wallet addresses, and a hard deadline. One that leaves certain holders exposed if they miss it.  Under the proposal, Harmony would record all ONE balances at a final block and issue equivalent ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum, covering wallets, staking delegations, validator rewards, smart contracts, and exchange balances, with no manual claims required.  Multisig safes, liquidity pools, and on-chain applications cannot be migrated, and Harmony is urging users to exit all smart contracts before September 10, 2026. The move follows an August 12 exploit in which an attacker allegedly minted nearly 4 billion unauthorized ONE tokens (about 26% of total supply) pushing Harmony from damage control toward what looks like an exit strategy.  Harmony vừa đề xuất đóng Layer 1, chuyển ONE sang Ethereum và dồn nguồn lực sang AI video chỉ vài tuần sau vụ hack hơn 3 nghìn
