Arbitrum2026-10-02 21:58:29Arbitrum halts new Stylus contract activations on One and Nova in emergency upgradeArbitrum’s Security Council carried out an emergency upgrade on Arbitrum One and Nova at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Oct. 2, pausing all new Stylus contract activations across both chains and adding a safeguard for BoLD one-step proofs in Arbitrum One’s dispute system. The Arbitrum Foundation said the move was part of an ongoing proactive security effort intended to protect the network’s security and integrity. Stylus lets developers write smart contracts in languages such as Rust and C++ while remaining compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, with programs compiled into WebAssembly. The pause is aimed at manually written WASM programs that did not use the standard Stylus compiler toolchain and have not yet been patched by the current ArbOS version. Activated Stylus contracts are not affected and can continue running and renewing, while Solidity contract deployment and execution remain unrestricted. The new BoLD protection can pause settlement from Arbitrum One to Ethereum if two conflicting answers are both accepted at the same dispute step, which may delay unconfirmed withdrawals while a fix is deployed. The Foundation said known Stylus-related issues affect chain liveness, such as denial-of-service attacks, and do not put user funds at risk.20
Bullish2026-10-01 17:02:22Bullish wins U.S. patent tied to uninterrupted debugging of WebAssembly smart contractsCrypto exchange Bullish has obtained a U.S. patent covering technology for debugging WebAssembly smart contracts without interrupting operations, according to Techub News, which cited Crypto Briefing. The patent is aimed at improving smart contract reliability. The report also said the development could affect blockchain development. No additional technical details were disclosed in the brief. The update centers on the patent itself, the use case around WebAssembly-based smart contracts, and the stated goal of making contract behavior more dependable during development and operation. Techub carried the item as a market analysis brief.20
NEAR Intents2026-10-01 13:23:09NEAR Intents says exploit caused about $3.8 million in lossesNEAR Intents said it paused its service earlier today after detecting a security incident tied to a vulnerability in how Omni’s deposit and withdrawal infrastructure interacted with NEAR Intents smart contracts. An initial report put total losses at about $3.8 million. The project said affected funds will be fully reimbursed and that the contract-side issue has already been fixed. NEAR added that NEAR Intents and near.com are expected to resume operations within one hour. Withdrawals for assets connected to chains including BNB Chain, Polygon and TON will remain suspended for 12 hours until fixes on the Omni infrastructure side are completed. The team also said users holding assets from those chains inside NEAR Intents will be able to trade them into other assets once the service is back online. According to the statement, the incident has been reported to law enforcement, and NEAR is working with security and blockchain analytics partners to trace fund flows and seek recovery. A more detailed report is expected in the coming days.00
TRON2026-10-01 07:59:36TRON rolls out GreatVoyage-v4.8.2.3 and requires nodes to upgradeTRON has officially released GreatVoyage-v4.8.2.3, also known as Anaxagoras, with changes aimed at improving contract execution and node-side processing. The update focuses on three areas: the storage access mechanism for smart contracts, performance gains for BN128 pairing operations, and a more efficient parsing flow for JSON data generated by nodes. According to the release note summarized in the source report, these changes are intended to improve both node efficiency and runtime stability. The network said the release is a mandatory upgrade. Node operators are being urged to update as soon as possible to avoid any impact on block synchronization. After deployment, upgraded nodes are also encouraged to report their rollout status so the community can keep track of upgrade progress across the network. TRON added that detailed version changes, GPG signature verification steps, and deployment instructions are available in the official release documentation and upgrade guide.10
DogeOS2026-09-30 16:58:04DogeOS launches ZK-Rollup on Dogecoin to add EVM smart contract supportDogeOS said it has deployed a ZK-Rollup layer on Dogecoin, a move aimed at bringing Ethereum Virtual Machine, or EVM, smart contract support and DeFi applications to native DOGE holders. The update marks a new step for the Dogecoin ecosystem, which has largely been known for simple transfers rather than broader onchain application support. According to the item carried by Techub News and attributed to U.Today, the deployment means the Dogecoin ecosystem will be able to support more complex decentralized applications. No additional technical specifications, launch timeline details, or usage metrics were disclosed in the source brief. The announcement centers on the introduction of a Layer 2 network architecture designed to expand what can be built around DOGE without changing the core description provided in the source.00
Stellar2026-09-30 12:14:01Stellar marks its 11th anniversary with a smart contract storage upgradeStellar has rolled out a smart contract upgrade as the blockchain marks its 11th anniversary, according to Techub News. The main change centers on how smart contract data is stored on the network, a shift the report says is designed to improve scalability and efficiency. The upgrade is described as an important step in Stellar’s push to support more complex decentralized applications, or dApps. Techub News also said the change could open up new building options for developers working on the network. No additional technical details, deployment metrics, or timeline beyond the anniversary reference were disclosed in the brief.310
