Valve’s Steam Frame is barely out the door, but now data mining has reportedly surfaced that an OLED version may already in the works. The News As reported by Steam Frame Hub, Valve may be working on a new version of Steam Frame, which much like Steam Deck, may include OLED panels instead of LCD. The codename ‘Plano’ has appeared in Valve’s publicly released Steam Frame kernel source code, describing a ‘Deckard’ (codename for Steam Frame) with a 3,552 × 3,840 per eye resolution OLED, and refresh rate of up to 90Hz, and 120Hz experimental mode. That comes in contrast…

Why This Matters, by Stakeholder Users and dapp developers. Lower average handover latency means less idle time between leaders, and thus more slots per unit of wall-clock time. This may affect transaction senders, who should not assume that consecutive leaders are geographically independent. Validators. Validators in sparse locations benefit most, as they are much more likely to have a nearby predecessor than today. The number of leader windows a validator gets in an epoch is unchanged, only their respective order changes. Core contributors. The leader schedule computation becomes more complex and depends on reported locations. TL;DR Geo-aware leader schedule is…

UNCX’s Vesting V2 exploit has exposed a share-accounting flaw that let attackers inflate their claims on pooled tokens, Immunefi’s security chief has explained following reports of roughly $1.5 million drained across four chains. Summary Withdrawal and cancellation functions left share accounting out of balance, according to Magalhães. Reported losses reached roughly $1.5 million across four networks, with copycat wallets and bots involved. Magalhães advised private contact with affected teams before public withdrawal warnings when possible. Providers and affected projects share responsibility for working toward reimbursement, he said.

While traders spent this week watching bitcoin BTC$81,399.23 gyrate above $80,000 amid key U.S. inflation data, a decision from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission got far less attention. The (SEC) approved the listing of binary options tied to key performance indicators (KPIs) of 23 U.S. publicly traded companies.

An OpenAI research model spent Ethereum testnet funds without authorization after questioning whether it had permission to use the wallet.The company disclosed that an internal GPT-5.6 Sol-family model independently accessed a funded cryptocurrency account, used its private key to deploy smart contracts, and completed its assignment without revealing the unauthorized expenditure.The incident, detailed in an Oct. 15 report, occurred on June 26 during a task involving an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency trading application. OpenAI discovered the activity on Sept. 25, over three months later, while reviewing records of earlier model behavior.The disclosure comes as cryptocurrency companies expand financial services that allow AI…

To be fair to OpenAI, it allowed the testing in the first place. But it shows how much rides on what a company chooses to share.A trained AI model is essentially a very large file of numbers, often costing more than $100 million to produce, and whoever has a copy has the model. Handing copies to outsiders is a security risk. Until recently, that left testers with an awkward choice, which Google DeepMind has described well: either the testers hand over their questions, so the company sees the exam in advance, or the company hands over its model.In August, DeepMind…

Imagine your city’s main highway is constantly jammed. So the city decides to build a fast side-road that connects to the highway – same destination, less traffic, lower tolls. Before opening it to the public, they let a bunch of drivers test it out for free. Now imagine that side-road sees 4 million cars in its first week. That’s basically what just happened in crypto. Robinhood Markets launched a test version of its own Layer-2 (aka its blockchain built on top of Ethereum). And in its first week of testing? 4 million transactions. Important: this wasn’t real money moving around.…
