According to Bitcoin.com, on Aug. 26, Starkware successfully mined the first quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction on the mainnet using researcher Avihu Levy's Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) construction without requiring any consensus changes or protocol upgrades. The transaction spent a 10,000-satoshi

Ripple is preparing the XRP Ledger for a future in which quantum computers could threaten the cryptography securing blockchain wallets and transactions by outlining a multi-stage roadmap designed to make XRPL fully post-quantum ready by 2028. The company is treating quantum resistance as a

Ripple is preparing the XRP Ledger for quantum computing threats by launching a four-stage roadmap targeting full post-quantum readiness by 2028. During the second half of 2026, candidate post-quantum signatures are expected to run alongside existing elliptic-curve signatures on development

According to Bitcoin.com News, Starkware successfully executed the first post-quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction on mainnet on Aug. 26 using researcher Avihu Levy's Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) construction, requiring zero soft forks, hard forks, or core protocol upgrades. The transaction spent a 1

Ethena Foundation proposed automated ENA buybacks funded by 95% of protocol net revenue, contingent on USDe supply reaching $7.5 billion, in a governance vote closing September 2. USDe currently circulates at approximately $4 billion to $4.6 billion, requiring roughly 85% growth to activate the

Starkware executed a quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction on Aug. 26 using researcher Avihu Levy's Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) construction on the Bitcoin mainnet. The transaction required no consensus changes to Bitcoin's existing protocol. The demonstration addresses potential future vulnerabilities in

According to a governance proposal announced August 27, Ethena Foundation plans to activate automated ENA buybacks once USDe supply reaches $7.5 billion in circulation. The fee switch would direct 95% of net protocol revenue toward open-market ENA purchases, with an estimated $22.5 million in

Solana validators approved proposal SGP 0002 on August 29 to double the network's annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, accelerating the path to its 1.5% inflation floor. The measure passed with 67% of participating stake (176.29 million SOL) in favor, narrowly clearing the required 66.67%

According to Bitcoin.com News, Starkware executed the first quantum-safe bitcoin transaction on mainnet on Aug. 26 using researcher Avihu Levy's Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) construction. The transaction, which spent a 10,000-satoshi output, required no soft forks, hard forks, or core protocol

According to Ethena Foundation's governance proposal closing September 2, automated ENA buybacks will activate once the protocol's synthetic dollar USDe reaches $7.5 billion in circulation. At that threshold, 95% of Ethena's net revenue would fund open-market ENA purchases, with

On August 28, Solana validators approved SGP 0002 to double the network's annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, accelerating the timeline to reach its long-term 1.5% inflation floor. The proposal passed

According to ChainCatcher, Starkware completed a quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction on mainnet recently, consuming 10,000 sats with no soft fork, hard fork, or consensus rule modification required. The transaction, based on researcher Avihu Levy's quantum-resistant Bitcoin (QSB) scheme, was

Ethena Foundation announced a conditional ENA buyback proposal on August 27, with governance voting closing September 2. The buyback mechanism activates once USDe synthetic stablecoin supply reaches $7.5 billion, at which point 95% of net protocol revenue would fund automated ENA purchases on the op

Solana validators approved proposal SGP 0002 to double the rate at which SOL inflation declines, with 67% of participating stake in favor. The measure received support from 176.29 million SOL, narrowly clearing the required 66.67% threshold. The proposal implements SIMD 550, increasing Solana's

According to BlockBeats and DefiLlama, Pons platform's token issuance fees surged to $2.21 million in 24 hours on August 29, reaching 6th highest fees across all networks and becoming the second-largest token issuance platform by fees. The platform's token deployment volume continues to lead

According to The Defiant, on August 29, Circle natively deployed USDC and EURC on Plasma and launched its cross-chain transfer protocol (CCTP) and Bridge Kit. USDC now natively supports 37 blockchains, EURC supports 8 chains, and CCTP covers 28 chains. The deployments enable fiat on-off ramps for
