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%.

Polish energy company Orlen SA has terminated one of the two long-term liquefied natural gas contracts signed with Qatar Energy due to ongoing conflicts that have prevented the other party from fulfilling its delivery obligations.

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.

The privacy public chain Iron Fish officially announced that it will formally terminate all remaining support for the Iron Fish network on that day. The team stated that several days ago, they observed unusual activities involving wIRON and the cross-chain bridge ChainPort. After collaborating with ChainPort and reviewing its logs, they confirmed that the reason was an inflation vulnerability present in the Iron Fish blockchain itself.The official statement indicated that the vulnerability can be traced back to a commit in the implementation of the Merkle tree in early 2019. At that time, the developers implemented a standard Merkle tree, but due to a detail difference in the calculation method of the ticket nullifier, attackers were able to spend the same ticket multiple times, subsequently aggregating the related tickets and transferring them out through the ChainPort cross-chain bridge. The official statement noted that this code path had been included in both external and internal audit scopes, but it was not discovered during the review.The team stated that they submitted a vulnerability patch before shutting down and archiving the ironfish codebase, and attached an explanation in the related PR. The Iron Fish mainnet was launched on April 20, 2023, and the developing company was later acquired by Coinbase; the foundation announced a transition to maintenance mode in April 2026.

The current development fund model of Zcash (ZIP-1016) was proposed by joshs on the Zcash community forum, suggesting to terminate the Zcash development fund early before its scheduled expiration in November 2028.Currently, the development fund accounts for 20% of each block reward, with 12% going to the Coinholder Fund, which is distributed through retrospective funding voted on by coin holders every quarter; 8% goes to the Zcash Community Grant Committee (ZCG), composed of 5 elected community members. The total value of these two funds exceeds 300 million dollars.According to current rules, after the development fund expires, the entire block reward will belong to the miners. This proposal is a response to another proposal to "cancel the ZCG and retain the Coinholder Fund," which the poster believes is merely a compromise. The proposal is currently in the community discussion phase and has not yet entered the voting process.
