Scroll announced that it received a vulnerability bounty report on November 3, indicating that there was a vulnerability in the bundle proof validator deployed on the Ethereum mainnet, and it registered a fixed validator for batch version 10 on November 10. Scroll stated that it has confirmed that the vulnerability was not exploited on the mainnet.According to the report, the vulnerability could allow old valid proofs to be accepted for new public inputs, thereby allowing the final confirmation of any state root and withdrawal root. Exploiting this vulnerability requires having a permissioned prover role or enabling the forced batch mode after 7 days without final confirmation.Scroll stated that the forced mode was never enabled, and all 748 final confirmations during the period of the vulnerability used normal proofs, with previous versions of the validator unaffected.

Patrick Witt stated in an interview that the Treasury Department has discussed potential paths for purchasing Bitcoin, including re-evaluating gold reserves, utilizing the Foreign Exchange Stabilization Fund, converting other assets, and collecting taxes and fees in Bitcoin. These proposals still require further legal validation.Bitcoin held by U.S. government agencies is undergoing a second round of verification to improve data accuracy, and it has not yet been decided whether to disclose specific holdings; the Treasury is also establishing a Bitcoin custody system that may combine self-custody and third-party custody. The position of Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council will not be filled, and related responsibilities will be shared among the White House Office of Legislative Affairs, the White House Counsel's Office, and other departments.

According to a report by Decrypt, the blockchain data project Space and Time, supported by Microsoft, announced the launch of the Space and Time Enterprise platform, which allows enterprises to use private data for AI tools without relinquishing the underlying records. The platform can prove that computations based on private data are correct, enabling AI applications, auditors, and other relevant parties to verify results without accessing the database itself.The first batch of partners includes on-chain asset management firm Maple Finance, Indonesian automotive manufacturer and distributor Indomobil, Oracle software consulting company Trenez, and The Data Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on government data based in Washington, D.C.Nate Holiday, CEO of the original developer of Space and Time, MakeInfinite Labs, stated that enterprises want AI agents to utilize this information to execute workflows, but the agents do not need unrestricted access to the records behind every computation.He mentioned that granting unrestricted data access to AI tools would create new exposure channels. The company is collaborating with clients in construction, engineering, and manufacturing to enable agents, reporting tools, and compliance teams to work based on the same set of business records and verify the computations they rely on.The platform is based on Space and Time's patented technology, Proof of SQL, which is used to prove that database queries are computed correctly and is currently compatible with Google Cloud's BigQuery. Enterprises can run it on their own servers without needing to operate a blockchain, purchase dedicated hardware, or rely on external proof services.With GPU acceleration, supported queries on millions of rows of data can be completed in one second and generate proofs. This technology can only prove that computations are correctly executed on given records and cannot determine whether the records themselves are accurate. Space and Time completed a $20 million strategic financing round led by Microsoft's venture fund M12 in 2022, and Grayscale previously launched a trust product for the SXT token.

NeoSoul and Brevis announced a technical collaboration to explore how to protect sensitive data in AI trading.As AI Agents take on more specific trading tasks, users' trading methods, preferences, and related data will also enter the product workflow. For individual users and platforms, clear data usage boundaries and explicit computational verification methods are important considerations in the design of such products.Brevis is a verifiable computing platform based on zero-knowledge proofs, with related technology supporting the processing of historical data from the supported chain, executing specified computations, and verifying computation results through proofs. This collaborative exploration will combine the practical needs of AI trading to study applicable scenarios for the relevant technology.NeoSoul continues to advance product development around Agentic Trading, refining the AI trading experience for individual users through NeoTrade, and promoting capability openness for platforms and other Agents. The collaboration with Brevis is a progress in NeoSoul's expansion of professional technical cooperation in this direction.NeoSoul's co-founder stated: "In the future, more and more AI Agents will directly participate in financial markets on behalf of individuals and platforms, and financial infrastructure needs to adapt to a new batch of market participants. Protecting trading strategies and computational verification will become crucial issues that restrict the scaling of Agentic Trading. Our collaboration with Brevis aims to provide the necessary technical foundation for the development of this trend."

In response to Vitalik's suggestion that Ethereum should prioritize strengthening its positioning as a value storage, DeFi researcher Ignas published a statement claiming that ETH may be more suitable as a value storage asset than BTC and ZEC. The advantages he mentioned include native staking rewards, privacy features in the roadmap, and potential deflation achieved through transaction fee burning.Ignas also stated that using BTC or ZEC as collateral to obtain loans typically requires reliance on wrapped assets or trust in banks and centralized exchanges, while ETH can achieve native collateralization and asset exchange on the same chain. He also expressed hope that Vitalik would shift towards the value storage positioning, not because he believes that Ethereum L1 will never generate enough transaction fee revenue to drive ETH deflation; scaling will reduce transaction costs, but the key still lies in whether market demand can grow in sync and whether the Ethereum community can drive demand enhancement.
