Ethereum developer Marchhill submitted the draft EIP-8437, proposing to propagate proof wrapper data through the eth/73 protocol and introducing an optional mode that allows transactions to submit raw signatures to the aggregator without pre-generating STARK proofs.This proposal supports the direct propagation of certified packages with transactions and performs independent checks of specified programs in resource-constrained sandboxes to verify witness data. The new program does not require the development of native adapters for each signature scheme separately. Additionally, the proposal plans to limit the batch queue size, clean up expired transactions, and recheck records before formally generating proofs to support failure retries.Currently, the proposal is still in the Draft stage and has not yet been merged. The developer pointed out that VM and key binding consistency verification, cryptographic verification, and performance testing are still incomplete, and benchmarking has not yet been conducted.

According to The Block, the High Court of Scotland sentenced Robert Barr to eight years in prison for remotely orchestrating a theft of approximately £2 million (about $2.7 million) in cryptocurrency while serving his sentence in Edinburgh prison. Two accomplices, Iain Doyle and Sean Favier, received sentences of five years and four years, respectively; all three had previously pleaded guilty to involvement in organized serious crime.The court revealed the method of operation: Barr had his accomplices enter the victim's home and asked the homeowner to download the remote control software AnyDesk, which he then used from prison to control the couple's computer, inputting a receiving address he controlled to transfer funds from the victim's wallet. On the evening of April 17, 2024, around 11:30 PM, Favier and Doyle arrived at the couple's residence but were captured on the doorbell camera; the homeowner refused to open the door, and the two were unable to enter, resulting in a failed plan.Judge Lord Cubie described this as "a crime that combines 21st-century computer technology with old-fashioned burglary." On June 25, 2024, police seized Barr's mobile phone and discovered detailed messages directing his two accomplices; the judge noted that Barr had previously served 21 months for cryptocurrency-related fraud but organized crime again while in prison, which constituted "significant aggravating circumstances." If convicted at trial, he should have received a sentence of eight years and ten months. Barr is scheduled to attend a serious crime prevention order hearing on November 17.

According to a report by the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, there is a significant price disparity in the embodied intelligence data collection industry. For the same 1-hour period, the listed price for high-quality real machine data can reach 300 to 1000 yuan, while the hourly wage for end collection workers is as low as 8 yuan, with some original data transactions even dropping to 3 to 5 yuan per hour.The investigation found that the price difference mainly stems from multi-level subcontracting and the resale of data copies. A hundred-yuan order from the client, after being passed through five or six intermediaries, leaves the grassroots collectors with only about 15 yuan. The baseline remuneration for county-level projects is around 30 yuan/hour; falling below this standard poses compliance or source risks. Additionally, the resale of non-original data three to five times is "very common" in the industry, with some teams monetizing the same material through private copies or additional equipment for simultaneous recording.The report points out that while the industry loudly claims that high-quality data is scarce, data collection service providers are valued at tens of billions; on the other hand, low-priced copies are rampant, and data traceability has failed. Some intermediaries gain pricing power through order control, with domestic data producers averaging a gross profit of about 20% to 30%.

According to a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the operator of the sports prediction market Novig, Ludlow Exchange, had its application to block a preliminary injunction regarding the applicability of betting laws in New York State denied.The court determined at the preliminary injunction stage that Novig's sports event contracts do not fall under the definition of swap contracts as defined by the Commodity Exchange Act, allowing New York State to require it to obtain a state betting license or prohibit the relevant contracts from being listed and traded in its market. The ruling document shows that Novig was designated as a contract market by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in June 2026 and began offering sports event contracts to New York customers in August.

The non-profit research organization Ethlabs stated that the EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 in the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade involve adjustments to Gas costs and billing mechanisms, which may affect some already deployed smart contracts. Ethlabs recommends postponing modifications to the upgrade specifications or determining the fork date for the Hoodi testnet until the results of external audits are published and the relevant impacts are clarified. The final decision will be made by the Ethereum Core Developers Meeting (ACD).The two external audits commissioned by the Ethereum Foundation from ChainSecurity and Dedaub are expected to be published before November 16. On the same day, a public Q&A will be held during the ACD testing meeting. The ACD executive meeting on November 19 is expected to discuss the audit results and may decide whether to modify the upgrade specifications.Glamsterdam aims to increase the Ethereum Gas limit per block from 60 million to 200 million. Ethlabs pointed out that adjustments to Gas costs may affect contracts and tools with hardcoded operational costs, and changes in the billing mechanism may also cause some deployed contracts to exhibit unexpected behavior. For example, after an internal call rollback, the remaining Gas returned by gasleft() may actually increase, affecting the contract's judgment on whether the call failed due to Gas exhaustion.

According to Cointelegraph, the European Central Bank, the European Commission, and the European Securities and Markets Authority are jointly soliciting nominations for a working group led by the industry, which will establish unified standards for the holding and settlement of tokenized securities.Eligible applicants include EU industry associations, global institutions, private enterprises, and fintech companies, which can apply to join the European Tokenized Standards Group (ETSG) by November 27. The relevant work will commence in January 2027, with the aforementioned three EU institutions participating as observers.The working group will develop technical and market standards to assist businesses in holding and settling tokenized securities across different Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) platforms, ensuring that these platforms can be compatible with existing financial systems.According to its scope of responsibilities, the working group plans to produce the first set of standards by early 2028. These standards will support Appia, which is the blueprint for the European tokenized financial market developed by the euro system.The three institutions warned that market fragmentation could limit the benefits brought by tokenization, and the working group may propose recommendations on how EU regulators can encourage businesses to adopt its standards. In September of this year, the euro system launched the Pontes system, allowing financial institutions to settle wholesale transactions of tokenized assets in central bank money.

According to Caixin, the European Commission preliminarily determined on November 6 local time that TikTok's recommendation mechanism has a "rabbit hole effect," making it increasingly difficult for users to disengage, which violates the Digital Services Act (DSA). Furthermore, TikTok's existing mitigation measures are deemed ineffective. The EU believes TikTok should adjust its "For You" algorithm to include more content based on users' explicitly expressed preferences, eliminate viewing duration as a recommendation metric, and enhance the usability of user control features.If confirmed as a violation, TikTok could face fines of up to 6% of its global annual revenue. TikTok denies the allegations, stating that the EU's claims are fundamentally untrue. This conclusion is a preliminary determination and not a final penalty decision, and TikTok has the right to defend itself.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, following the U.S. midterm elections, concerns regarding AI data center regulation have intensified, leading to fluctuations in the stock market. In this context, the South Korean Ministry of Economy and Finance held a seminar with semiconductor experts to examine trends in the relevant industries and future demand prospects.Participants conducted a comprehensive assessment and concluded that, considering the progress of major AI companies' large-scale investments and future plans, as well as the expansion of semiconductor demand brought about by the proliferation of intelligent AI, the medium- to long-term growth expectations for the AI and semiconductor industries remain valid. They noted that despite some concerns in the financial markets, no significant signals have been detected that would lead to a contraction in AI investment or semiconductor demand. Furthermore, taking into account factors such as the expansion of long-term supply contracts for domestic semiconductor companies in South Korea, it is expected that the demand base will remain stable in the short term.
