SpaceX in talks to acquire Boost Mobile or use its network to challenge the three major U.S. carriers
ChainCatcher News: According to The Washington Post, SpaceX is in talks with EchoStar to acquire its wireless business, Boost Mobile, or gain access to its network to launch its own mobile communications service. The report, citing people familiar with the matter, said the two sides have discussed launching a SpaceX-branded wireless service through a partnership in recent months. Reuters cited the report as saying that Boost currently leases most of its network from AT&T and T-Mobile. The move is intended to support Elon Musk’s Starlink Mobile plan, which would combine a satellite constellation with terrestrial cellular networks to challenge the three major U.S. carriers, the report said. EchoStar had about 7.38 million wireless subscribers at the end of the second quarter, primarily Boost Mobile and Gen Mobile customers. Musk also met with EchoStar Chairman Charlie Ergen last month. If the deal involves transferring network leasing agreements, it may still require approval from AT&T and T-Mobile.

Author: Zhao Ying, Wallstreetcn
Recently, Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire posted on X that SpaceX is on the cusp of a revenue explosion comparable to Nvidia’s over the past three years, and that most investors are significantly underestimating it. After SpaceX’s earnings call, Maguire publicly released a bottom-up financial model, claiming that the figures it presented were “breathtaking.” He said the market was gripped by panic over a range of macro factors, including geopolitical uncertainty and inflationary pressures, and that he chose to go against the tide by publishing a forecast that, in his view, “more than 90% of investors would consider crazy.”

Bug bounty platform Immunefi launches Credits; more than 700 researchers have already received an allocation
ChainCatcher reports that blockchain bug bounty platform Immunefi has announced the launch of Immunefi Credits. Since the submission fee mechanism was introduced, researchers will receive Credits equal to the fees they paid for valid reports. This includes their own valid discoveries, duplicate submissions of valid reports, privately known issues, and cases where the mediation outcome favors the researcher. The platform said that more than 700 researchers have already received Credits, with no separate application required. Their balances can be viewed on the Credits page linked to their console balance. Immunefi said that, effective immediately, Credits can be used to pay fees for report submissions, mediation, account verification, and other services on the platform, and will be usable for related services once Immunefi Studio opens to the public. One Credit is worth $1 and can be purchased with USDC. Credits do not replace bug bounty or audit competition rewards: valid discoveries will continue to be rewarded under the existing rules, with additional Credits equal to the submission fee. Credits distributed retroactively in this round are valid for 12 months from today. After that, each Credit will be valid for 12 months from the date it is credited to the account. Credits are account-bound and cannot be transferred or redeemed for cash.
Source: Iranian representatives have left Doha; draft agreement “aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran war” is being circulated
ChainCatcher reports that, according to Reuters, an official familiar with the talks said Iranian negotiators left talks with Qatari mediators on Sunday. A draft agreement aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran war is being circulated, and further meetings may still take place. The official said their departure was not due to difficulties in the negotiations. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei confirmed that Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi had previously exchanged messages with Washington in Doha through Qatari mediation, and that the current discussions are still based on Iran’s “seven-step plan” proposed in September. The plan’s key elements include the United States ending its blockade of Iranian ports, Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and Washington granting exemptions for Iranian crude oil exports and lifting recently imposed sanctions. Baghaei said the plan could now be finalized in about two days, but only if the United States meets Iran’s conditions. Asked whether the transfer of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium had been discussed, he categorically denied it.

Internet Court rules on about 12,000 AI agent disputes per day
ChainCatcher reports that Internet Court, a dispute resolution protocol powered by GenLayer, allows AI agents and humans to enter into contracts, with funds held in escrow and released once the terms are ruled to have been fulfilled. The protocol has been in testing for the past year and now handles about 12,000 rulings per day. It has been used to verify user-uploaded photos for Collective Memory and to handle arguments on argue.fun, with mainnet expected to launch next month. Disputes are submitted to a jury of 5 randomly selected GenLayer validators, each running a different AI model, including models from Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek. Initial rulings are issued within minutes by simple majority. Appeals can then be made to broader juries of 11, 23, or even up to 1,500 AIs. Finality is typically reached within 30 minutes, and takes no more than about 3 hours. The mechanism draws on philosopher Condorcet’s jury theorem, using multiple independent evaluators to reduce bias from any single model.
