Bitcoin Proposal to Restore Satoshi Code Gets a '420' Update

Along with the anticipated Bitcoin halving event, 4/20 has come and gone—but the famed meme number is already back in the BTC conversation amid an attempt to change Bitcoin’s software. Advocates of restoring a Satoshi-era command in Bitcoin’s programming language introduced new code Monday, outlining how “OP_CAT” could be used to bring more functionality to Bitcoin. One notable addition: including 420 as the change’s purported BIP number. As of this writing, OP_CAT hasn’t been assigned a so-call...

Solana Update Brings First Fixes for Congestion Issues

The first network update to begin addressing weeks of growing congestion that made Solana incredibly difficult to use as of late rolled out for validators early Monday. Anza, the dev team that spun out of Solana Labs earlier this year, announced overnight that the v1.17.31 release of the Agave validator client—which is run by the computers that support the Solana network—was released with initial fixes for the congestion issues. It’s not meant as a singular fix for the issues that have recently...

Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Hits All-Time High One Week Before Halving

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has risen to its highest ever—a little over one week before the long-awaited halving event takes place.  Data from BTC.com shows that Bitcoin difficulty hit 86.39 trillion hashes yesterday. In simple terms, a hash is the process of turning data into code that cannot be deciphered using powerful computers. This proof-of-work mining model is necessary to keep the Bitcoin network running and secure.  Miners—those who mint new coins—generate hashes as part of the process....

Solana 'Sucks Right Now'—Devs Are Doing Something

Solana has become the center of the DeFi world in recent weeks, between meme coins and buzzy tokens like Wormhole, Jupiter, and Tensor, pushing decentralized exchange trading volume on the chain to an all-time high in March. But the network now appears to be falling victim to its own success. Amid growing demand, congestion on the chain is causing transactions to fail and making it difficult to perform even basic tasks. As the Helium Foundation’s head of protocol engineering recently put it, “So...

Is BitVM the Holy Grail of Bitcoin? It’s Complicated, Developers Say

A once-vaunted scaling innovation for Bitcoin may be much more limited in practice than its early proponents once claimed, according to developers. Since its introduction in October, BitVM—described as a “computing paradigm” to express smart contracts on Bitcoin—has been pitched as a potential way to bridge BTC to other blockchains in a truly decentralized manner. If so, it could unlock a world of applications for BTC holders that are currently exclusive to other chains, including privacy, scala...

Solana User Wallets Drained of $523K as BONKbot Team Denies Link

A string of wallet drainer attacks on Solana over the last day may be tied to Telegram trading bots, although the team behind the most prominent one—BONKbot—denies that the exploit is tied to their application. Numerous reports of Solana wallets being emptied of their SOL popped up over the past several hours on Twitter, with some users pointing the finger at BONKbot, a popular application from the team behind the Solana meme coin BONK that lets buy and sell Solana-based tokens via the messaging...
