⚡️Solana validators are voting on a package that could increase SOL burns 14x

The SGP-0003 package combines two proposals. SIMD-0553 introduces a fee on transaction compute resources, raising daily burns from 600-800 SOL to 7,500-9,000 SOL. SIMD-0550 doubles the disinflation rate from 15% to 30% a year, pulling the target 1.5% inflation rate forward to the first half of 2029 instead of 2032.

According to 21Shares, together the two proposals would cut future SOL issuance by $1.4-1.5 billion over six years. Even at peak levels, burning 9,000 SOL a day is offset by roughly 60,000 SOL in daily inflation, so burning alone doesn’t make the token deflationary.

Faster disinflation cuts staking yield from current levels down to 2.25% by year three. Voting runs through August 27, with a 15% staked-supply threshold needed to advance.

⚡️Justin Sun wants TRON to become the world’s first quantum-resistant network by the end of the year

The plan was announced back in April: testnet in Q2, mainnet in Q3. Sun explains the logic simply - the main risk from AI is that future quantum computers will be able to break existing cryptography, so protecting funds requires making the switch now.

Quantum-resistant signatures are 10-121x heavier than standard cryptography, and TRON risks losing the speed it’s known for. The network hosts more than $86.7 billion in USDT, and the migration needs to preserve access to funds without losses.

Ethereum has set 2029 as its target, Solana is testing signatures on testnet, Ripple has promised to secure the XRP Ledger by 2028. If TRON hits its deadline, it’ll be noticeably faster than any of its competitors.

⚡️ Pumpfun expanded beyond Solana for the first time in its history, adding trading for HyperEVM tokens

The platform became the first app to fully support Hyperliquid’s EVM-compatible layer, letting users trade HyperEVM tokens against USDC with near-zero fees. HyperEVM runs alongside HyperCore, Hyperliquid’s core trading infrastructure, both sharing the same HyperBFT consensus.

The integration currently covers only secondary trading of existing assets, not the creation of new tokens on that network. The platform hasn’t disclosed which DE

⚡️Moonshot AI wants 30% of the revenue for letting Microsoft, Amazon, and Google host its model

The deal could become the first major revenue-sharing agreement between a Chinese AI company and a big American cloud provider. Kimi K3, a 2.8-trillion-parameter model, is technically open-weight, but the compute costs are so high that cloud hosting remains the only practical channel for enterprise use.

The talks are happening as Washington restricts AI chip exports to China, and senior US officials have publicly criticized Moonshot. The company has already pushed back on accusations that K3 was built through distillation of another model, saying the improvements came from original architectural changes.

By independent evaluations, Kimi K3 performs on par with GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8, and it ranked first on the Arena.ai benchmark for building web interfaces.

⚡️Zcash Trust is moving straight from OTC trading onto the NYSE

The ticker ZCSH stays the same, but the structure changes fundamentally - previously, Trust shares traded with no arbitrage mechanism, which let the price swing to a premium as high as 240% above the real value of the underlying ZEC, or drop to a discount of 55%. Now authorized participants like Jane Street and Virtu will be able to create and redeem shares, keeping the price in line with the asset’s actual value.

The fee is set at 2.5% annually, paid in ZEC - holding the position for 10 years would eat up roughly a quarter of an investor’s capital in fees alone, unless Grayscale lowers the rate the way it did with its bitcoin trust.

The market reacted ahead of the launch - ZEC jumped 9-10% on the filing news, trading as high as $842-885, with ZEC futures open interest up 12%, overtaking DOGE and BNB. DCG is in talks to contribute 200,000 ZEC (around $110 million) to the fund.

⚡️Wallets linked to the TRUMP token team pulled $3.39 million in liquidity from a Solana pool over 10 hours

According to LookOnChain, the move coincided with a fresh rally in the token, with some traders linking the rise to Trump’s recent comments about possibly expanding the government’s bitcoin reserves. The team doesn’t technically sell TRUMP directly on the open market, but pulling liquidity from the pool at a moment like this reads to the market as effectively the same thing.

Since January 2025, nearly a million investors have lost a combined $3.81 billion on the token, which has fallen more than 98% from its all-time high of $73, while Trump-linked entities have collected roughly $636 million in royalties.

Senators Warren and Blumenthal have already called on the SEC to investigate the token as a potential scam or rug pull.

⚡️A hacker bought enough TERM tokens and drained $8.5 million from Term Finance’s treasury

The incident happened on August 23, with details confirmed by CertiK. The danger in this mechanic is that accessing the protocol’s vaults required no code exploit, no stolen keys: the attacker simply bought up voting tokens on the open market and legitimately pushed through their own proposal via a vote.

The attacker’s wallet holds roughly 2,843 ETH and $1.6 million in DAI. Decentralized token governance becomes a vulnerability in itself once voting power can simply be bought.

⚡️Hackers minted $49 billion worth of SAND tokens out of thin air, but the actual theft came to just $675,000

Attackers hijacked LayerZero delegate permissions on SAND’s bridge on the Base network and bypassed the checks, minting tokens with no backing. The numbers climbed fast: first 500 million new tokens, then PeckShield counted 14.9 billion, with Blockaid putting the total face value at $49 billion.

That figure isn’t the amount stolen, it’s the nominal value of the minted tokens, which can’t actually be cashed out. The real damage is far smaller: roughly 14.75 million genuine SAND drained from the Ethereum bridge, about $675,000.

Upbit and Bithumb suspended deposits and withdrawals. The Sandbox confirmed the vulnerability was limited to the bridges on Base and BNB Smart Chain, and that user wallets weren’t compromised. SAND’s price dropped 5.5-10%.

⚡️Strategy’s Bitcoin position turned profitable for the first time in months

The company holds 840,447 BTC at an average price of $75,385, bought for $63.36 billion total. In July, when BTC dropped to $58,000, the paper loss reached $13 billion. The reversal came fast: bitcoin rose nearly 22% over five days, breaking above $75,000, pushing the position into a $1.4-2.2 billion gain.

Every $1,000 move in BTC shifts the value of Strategy’s position by roughly $840 million. The paper gain isn’t cash in hand, it can only be realized by selling bitcoin or using the holdings as collateral for financing.

The company has been cautious lately: it sold some BTC in early August for $108.6 million to fund preferred share buybacks, then went a full week without trading bitcoin at all. CEO Phong Le has already said accumulation will resume later this year.
