Vitalik posted on the X platform stating that a new type of "high-level programming language" worth trying is a language compiled to Lean (or HOL, etc.), focusing on making it as easy as possible for humans to read definitions and theorems. Rather than proofs, because proofs only need to be correct, the key lies in the definitions and theorems themselves. The envisioned use is that AI outputs a large segment of proof, and the reader needs to understand as easily as possible which precise claims have actually been proven in these outputs.

According to Decrypt, Galaxy Digital has officially launched the "Bitcoin Quantum Readiness Program," which has three core pillars: providing up to $5 million in post-quantum cryptography research grants to developers, publishing special research reports through Galaxy Research, and establishing a quantum advisory committee composed of scholars from several top universities.The program aims at "Q-Day"—the critical moment when quantum computers use Shor's algorithm to break Bitcoin's elliptic curve encryption, forge signatures, and steal wallet assets. Project Eleven predicts that quantum computers capable of cryptographic threats may appear as early as 2030, at which point approximately 6.9 million BTC will be at risk of exposure.The Coinbase Quantum Advisory Committee has also called for developers to immediately begin migration efforts. Meanwhile, Trump has signed an executive order setting the deadline for the U.S. federal government to complete its post-quantum cryptography migration by December 2031.

According to ETNews, the South Korean government has released the "Korean Won Internationalization Roadmap," aiming to transform the Korean won from a regulated currency to a freely convertible currency and to establish an offshore Korean won settlement network.It is reported that the Bank of Korea will launch the "Offshore Korean Won Settlement Network" (tentative name), which is expected to undergo trial operation in September this year and officially start in January next year. At the same time, it will also build digital asset payment infrastructure to lay the foundation for the issuance, distribution, and trading of Korean won-denominated stablecoins, with plans to launch a pilot project next year to promote the tokenization of government bonds linked to the central bank digital currency (CBDC) of the Bank of Korea.In addition, South Korea will officially join the cross-border digital payment project "Agora," led by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and involving the central banks of eight countries.

According to FinanceFeeds, security researchers have discovered an information-stealing malware targeting macOS devices that is attacking cryptocurrency users. This malware can hijack Telegram Desktop sessions, steal passwords and wallet databases, further controlling user accounts and stealing digital assets. Currently affected wallets and applications include software wallets like Exodus, Atomic, Electrum, Wasabi, and Monero.The malware is capable of extracting sensitive information from macOS Keychain, Safari Cookies, Apple Notes, Telegram Desktop, and multiple cryptocurrency wallet-related databases, including login credentials, authenticated session files, wallet data, and browser extension information. Security analysis points out that the danger of this attack chain lies in its reliance not on a single wallet vulnerability, but on collecting various types of data from the device, linking device intrusion, account takeover, wallet cracking, and mnemonic phrase theft together. Among these, Telegram Desktop sessions have become a key target.Attackers can copy authenticated Telegram local session data and restore the login on another Mac device without needing to enter a phone number, verification code, or Telegram two-factor authentication password. This means that Telegram 2FA cannot provide complete protection in this attack scenario, as the attacker is not performing a new login but is exploiting an already trusted local session. For cryptocurrency users, the risks are further amplified. Since Telegram is widely used for exchange customer service, project communities, OTC trading, and wallet communication, once attackers gain access to user session permissions, they could impersonate the victim, read private chats, locate asset information, and even spread malicious links to contacts.

Programmer Stefan Thomas holds an IronKey encrypted USB drive containing the private keys for 7,002 bitcoins, which were earned as a reward for his 2011 educational video "What is Bitcoin?" Recently valued at approximately $111,000 each, this amounts to about $777 million.The IronKey device is set to permanently lock and delete its contents after 10 incorrect password attempts. Thomas has tried 8 times and has only 2 attempts left. The manufacturer Kingston stated that there are no backup passwords or alternative recovery methods aside from the original password set by the user.
