Crypto job postings rose to 1,241 in September while applications slipped from July

Crypto hiring picked up sharply in September, but applicant activity did not keep pace, according to CryptoJobsList data cited by CoinDesk. The crypto-focused jobs platform recorded 1,241 openings in September, up from 886 in August and 382 in July. That means September listings were more than triple July levels and more than double the 573 openings posted in January. The report said January had been the busiest month of the year before a slowdown appeared in August. The number of companies hiring also increased, reaching 125 in September, compared with 107 in July and 77 in August. Even with that rebound in listings, application volume moved the other way. CryptoJobsList recorded 25,700 applications in July, 24,631 in August, and just under 20,000 in September. Over the past three months, finance roles drew the strongest demand from employers, followed by engineering and trading. Stablecoin, artificial intelligence, security, and compliance roles also ranked in the top 10. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana were the blockchain skills most frequently requested in job listings.

Vitalik says he is testing a privacy-preserving AI setup using local and remote models

Vitalik.eth said in a Farcaster post that he is running a personal experiment that combines a local model with a remote frontier model to generate personalized diet and exercise suggestions from personal health and travel data while keeping privacy protections in place. According to the post, the system uses a three-layer privacy design. At the identity layer, a local Qwen 3.8B model builds the query request on the user’s behalf so writing style does not reveal identity. At the payment layer, zkAPI is used to hide payment information. At the network layer, Tor is used to conceal the IP address. Vitalik said the system is already working end to end, but he also listed three shortcomings: Tor is inefficient and introduces high latency for per-request unlinkability, the local model currently runs at only 20-30 TPS while a smooth experience would require 100+ TPS, and tighter data protection reduces how much help the remote model can provide. The related code has been submitted to Ethereum’s zkAPI repository.

Ethereum unstaking queue jumps 392% since early October

Techub News, citing Crypto Briefing, reported that Ethereum’s unstaking queue has surged 392% since early October. The move points to potential fragility in staking infrastructure, according to the report. It may also affect staking strategies going forward. No further figures or operational details were disclosed in the source brief, which framed the jump as a notable shift in Ethereum’s staking dynamics rather than a standalone market price event. The report focused on the scale of the increase and its possible implications for infrastructure resilience and future staking decisions.
