Arbitrum Security Council Moves To Correct 51M ARB Voting Power Discrepancy

Arbitrum's Security Council has initiated a non-emergency governance action to correct a discrepancy in the recorded total Delegated Voting Power within the ARB token contract. The recorded total was approximately 51.17 million ARB higher than it should have been, stemming from initial initialization estimates. The action does not affect individual ARB token balances or delegation distributions and requires no user action. It is strictly a correction of the aggregate accounting figure used by the contract to ensure accurate governance tracking for quorum and proposal outcomes. The Security Council's proposal allows for a transparent 14-day execution period, emphasizing that this is a routine maintenance fix for governance infrastructure rather than an emergency or a change to user holdings.

‘Ethereum must remove features to survive’ says Vitalik – But why?

Vitalik Buterin argues that Ethereum's long-term survival depends on removing old features and simplifying its core protocol, a process he calls "protocol simplicity" or "garbage collection." He believes accumulated complexity makes the network harder to understand, maintain, and run, threatening its decentralization. Buterin emphasizes the "walkaway test"—Ethereum should function even if its core developers leave, allowing new teams to build clients or run nodes without relying on a small group of experts. He warns against the "High Priest" problem, where over-reliance on advanced cryptography forces trust in specialists, undermining self-sovereignty. Solutions include moving legacy features, like old transaction types, to smart contracts via account abstraction and potentially replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with a simpler system, while keeping the EVM as a contract. Buterin views Ethereum's first phase as necessary experimentation but now advocates for maturing into a secure "hyperstructure" that prioritizes simplicity and reliability over limitless functionality.

When Token Issuance Becomes an Assembly Line, Some Are Paying Bitcoin Developers

The article highlights the often-overlooked efforts of organizations and individuals who support Bitcoin's core infrastructure, focusing on a report by 1A1z about Bitcoin Core developers and sponsors. Bitcoin Core, described as Bitcoin's "operating system," relies on volunteer work and external funding for critical tasks like security, network optimization, and code maintenance. The report identifies 13 key long-term sponsors, including OKX as the only exchange consistently funding developers since 2019, with nearly $2 million in contributions to individuals and nonprofits. Beyond core protocol support, the piece emphasizes the importance of user-facing infrastructure, such as OKX Wallet's features that simplify Web3 access by eliminating seed phrases and streamlining cross-chain transactions. It also notes OKX's investments in developer ecosystems, test networks, and security audits—efforts that don't generate immediate returns but are vital for sustainable growth. The article contrasts these long-term, low-profile investments with the industry's trend of rapid token launches and marketing-heavy projects. It argues that such foundational work, though less visible, builds competitive advantages through technical efficiency, user experience, and future capacity—ultimately shaping the industry's trajectory toward real-world adoption.
