⚙️ What's changing:
Block spacing cut from 75s → 25s (3x faster blocks) Version 4 transactions disabled New Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM) to support miner revenue — while preserving the original halving schedule
🗳️ Community backed it hard: 98.9% voted to keep the halving schedule, and 99.9% supported the faster-block proposal.
📈 Momentum is building too — ZEC jumped ~20% in 24h as privacy coins outperformed the broader market, and Zcash spot ETFs pulled in $98.2M in net inflows for the week ending Sept 18, the largest among all 14 tracked crypto products.
Binance has issued a fresh security warning after researchers (including SlowMist) discovered a malicious iOS app called FomoPeek (v1.1–1.2) exploiting iPhone/iPad vulnerabilities to gain maximum device access — potentially exposing private keys, seed phrases, login credentials, and chat data.
If you're on iOS 26.x or earlier and have this app installed: ✅ Delete it immediately, don't reinstall ✅ Update iOS to the latest version ✅ Self-custody users: create a fresh wallet on a clean device and migrate funds ✅ Report any suspicious activity to support with evidence
📈 Meanwhile, the market stayed strong — Bitcoin briefly touched ~$87,300 (highest since Jan 2026) as U.S. spot $BTC ETFs pulled in nearly $1B in net inflows, the biggest single-day haul since October 2025.
Stay #SAFU🙏 — always verify apps before installing, and never share your seed phrase with anyone. 🔐
