Sep 10, 2026Twila Rosenbaum Ethereum developers have locked Frame Transactions into the Hegotá upgrade planned for 2027. The feature would let apps or accounts pay gas fees in ether on another user's behalf, so people can transact without holding ETH or relying on third-party services. EIP-8141 would also bundle related actions and allow replaceable or quantum-resistant authorization methods without moving funds to a new address. Vitalik Buterin says the work has moved quickly since the feature was scheduled. View more
Sep 10, 2026Twila Rosenbaum Solana is set to activate Transaction v1 on Wednesday, tripling its maximum transaction size from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes. The change allows complex proofs, large multisig operations, and multi-step trades to fit into a single transaction. Existing transaction formats remain supported, but services that read Solana data must update to recognize v1 and display priority fees correctly. Larger transactions consume more bandwidth and may require higher priority fees during congestion, though no new per-byte fee is introduced. View more
Sep 10, 2026Twila Rosenbaum A blockchain security review found that roughly half of all circulating USDT depends on a 2-of-3 multisig wallet on Tron with no built-in delay or timelock.

The same report gave USDT a cybersecurity score of 3.3 out of 10, even as a separate audit-driven rating upgrade highlighted Tether's reserve surplus. No evidence of compromised keys or an active incident was found, but reused signing keys could widen the risk across other networks. View more
