According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, sources say that a bipartisan group of minority senators in the U.S. Senate held discussions last night regarding the CLARITY Act, attempting to push the Democrats to make concessions on at least two outstanding issues, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement.Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that both sides had reached consensus on "99% of the content" of the bill and expressed hope that the Democrats would continue to address the remaining issues after the bill passes committee review; otherwise, if a similar incident to FTX occurs in the future, "they can only blame themselves."Reports indicate that Democratic Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego have been pushing for a compromise on the ethical standards and conflict of interest clauses involving the president's family before the committee review, making it one of the conditions for supporting the bill.Additionally, some Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns about provisions related to the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). This provision aims to prohibit lawsuits against non-custodial software developers based on money transfer laws.Sources say that both sides have made substantial progress on ethical and conflict of interest issues, but disagreements over amendments to the BRCA ultimately led to the breakdown of negotiations. The market currently widely expects that this committee review will show clear partisanship.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin token protocol BRC20 has taken a step towards achieving Ethereum-style smart contracts.According to an announcement disclosed on Monday, starting from Bitcoin block 912,690, this Bitcoin token protocol has integrated the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) into its core logic.

Best in Slot CEO Eril Binari Ezerel stated that previous meta-protocols like Ordinals relied on "calculator-style" indexers, and with the integration of EVM, BRC20 will possess Turing completeness. Domo further stated that the ultimate goal is to merge the two gold standards: Bitcoin as the most decentralized and secure network, and EVM as the most mature virtual machine, allowing users to experience Ethereum's composability and programmability while enjoying Bitcoin-level security.

ChainCatcher news, UniSat CEO Lorenzo posted on the X platform that over the past year, the decentralization of BRC-20 has been higher than expected. Currently, the community's various views on UniSat's so-called influence in the BRC-20 ecosystem can be temporarily set aside, focusing solely on the technical development and impact of BRC-20. As an index service provider, UniSat's actual impact on the BRC-20 standard can be considered negligible.Over the past year, UniSat's understanding of this has gradually changed, investing a lot of effort to advance the standard through proposals and iterations. However, as observed over the past 12 months, it has proven that UniSat's progress in standardization has been both slow and challenging.

ChainCatcher message, UniSat has released PizzaSwap Pre-Launch update notes on platform X, including:Fractal's brc-20 will recognize PizzaSwap module events, and if the index does not handle the related inscription events, it may lead to inconsistencies between the index and the results;It is strongly recommended that platforms supporting brc-20 on Fractal temporarily disable the brc-20 market and related transfer functions during the PizzaSwap launch. Once the inscription event integration is complete and the index results are aligned, these functions can be re-enabled;Proposed solution: Other indexing service providers should interact with withdrawal inscription events, and relevant APIs can be used to determine whether the withdrawal inscriptions are valid.ChainCatcher previously reported, according to the official announcement, UniSat stated that PizzaSwap will go live on Fractal on September 30, supporting assets bridged through Bool Bridge and SimpleBridge. On September 25, UniSat will open source the brc-20 indexing implementation on Fractal.
