Pons founder Ozzy posted that market rumors claiming the tax rate could be modified after launch are inaccurate. Although the tax rate for the Pons pool on Uniswap V4 is 0% (with only a 1% hook fee and publicly visible trades), some trading platforms may route transactions to high-tax pools, or the displayed tax rate may fluctuate due to vamp attacks. This does not mean the official tax rate was modified. Ozzy urged the relevant platforms to correct the issue to avoid harming users’ interests and causing panic.

Reports indicate that advances in quantum computing have prompted the Bitcoin community to reach an initial consensus on the quantum threat, with plans to introduce post-quantum cryptography (PQC) through a soft fork, upgrade the address system, and ensure long-term security. Because the public keys of early addresses have been exposed, there is a risk that they could be collected now and decrypted later. The community has proposed a migration window and a grace period of several years; assets that are not migrated would be frozen or destroyed. The proposal would also improve cryptographic agility without interrupting the network, using parallel dual signatures with ECDSA and PQC to enhance redundancy and enable a smooth transition, turning the quantum threat into a manageable technical upgrade.
