Fresh All-time High After Aster Perpetuals Debut
BNB Chain's Niu Lai memecoin hit an all-time high of $0.1388 on Aug. 31, extending a rally that has now taken the token up roughly 30% in the past 24 hours and around 600% over the past 14 days. The immediate catalyst was its listing on the Aster perpetual contracts market. On Aug. 30, on-chain tracker Lookonchain reported that Niu Lai surged more than 510% after being listed on Aster DEX perpetuals. The tracker noted that one trader opened a 5x long position worth about $111,000 and was showing a $49,500 unrealized profit.
According to CoinGecko, the token now carries a market capitalization of approximately $113.8 million. Its fully diluted valuation sits at the same level, reflecting a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens in circulation. Niu Lai operates as a BNB Chain memecoin, with its price driven mainly by market attention, speculative demand, and on-chain liquidity rather than by a protocol, staking system, or revenue-generating product.
The Viral Film Behind the Token
Niu Lai started as a small passion project built over five years by Xin Yumeng and his mother, who handled almost everything themselves. Initially seen by almost no one, its bizarre homemade 3D animation eventually caught the internet's attention, turning the low-budget film into an unexpected viral sensation.
The film was made on a budget of roughly $200, features a bizarre, dreamlike plot, and production values that would look rough for a Nintendo 64 game. On apps like movie-review platform Douban and microblogging site Weibo, clips and reviews of Niu Lai went viral, spreading word of the film's so-bad-it's-good appeal to a largely young, Gen Z audience of Chinese filmgoers. The film's title also functions as a pun in Chinese, sounding like "the bull market comes," which added a layer of speculative appeal for crypto traders.
There is no verified official connection between the token and the film's creators. Niu Lai is therefore best characterised as a culture-driven BNB Chain memecoin rather than an official digital asset associated with the film. As with all memecoins, price moves of this magnitude carry significant downside risk and the rally may not be sustained.

La cotation Aster alimente une forte hausse
La memecoin Niu Lai de la BNB Chain a atteint un sommet historique de 0,1388 $ le 31 août, ajoutant environ 40 % en 24 heures et environ 650 % au cours des 30 derniers jours. Le catalyseur immédiat a été sa cotation sur le marché des contrats perpétuels Aster. Le 30 août, le suivi on-chain Lookonchain a rapporté que Niu Lai avait bondi de plus de 510 % après avoir été listée sur les perpétuels Aster DEX, un trader ayant notamment ouvert une position long x5 d’une valeur d’environ 111 000 $ et affichant un profit latent de 49 500 $.
D’après CoinGecko, le token affiche désormais une capitalisation boursière d’environ 113,8 millions de dollars, et une valorisation entièrement diluée au même niveau, étant donné que les 1 milliard de tokens sont déjà en circulation.

Core Blockchain (@Coredao_Org) has disclosed an unexpected issue in which a small number of validators are receiving more block rewards than the protocol intends, raising questions about its reward issuance mechanism even as the team moves quickly to contain the problem.
What Happened
According to Core's network status update, the anomaly is confined to reward issuance and does not affect network security or user funds. The team says it has identified the root cause and has already begun mitigation measures. A full post-mortem will be published once the issue is resolved.
The excess rewards appear to be a protocol-level issuance problem rather than a validator security breach. That distinction matters: under Core's Satoshi Plus consensus, validators receive a combination of transaction fees and newly minted $CORE tokens through the blockchain's inflation policy. Currently, 90% of rewards are allocated to validators and 10% are distributed to the System Reward Contract. Any drift from those parameters in the issuance layer would directly cause some validators to receive outsized payouts.
How Core's Reward System Works
Understanding the normal reward flow helps put the bug in context. Validators receive rewards in $CORE tokens for participating in Core's consensus mechanism and producing blocks, with rewards distributed at the end of each round, approximately every 24 hours. Each validator receives rewards proportional to the number of blocks it produces, and in the long term all stable validators are expected to receive approximately equal shares, since block production is uniformly distributed. A bug that breaks that symmetry, giving some validators more than their proportional share, would distort incentives across the network even if it leaves security intact.
Core has not specified how many validators are affected or the scale of the excess issuance. The network's commitment to a post-mortem suggests it plans to be transparent about both the root cause and any remediation steps, including whether over-issued rewards will be clawed back or otherwise accounted for.
The incident is a reminder that reward issuance logic, though often treated as routine bookkeeping, sits at the heart of a blockchain's economic design. Getting it wrong, even temporarily, can have lasting effects on validator behaviour and token supply.

Monero ($XMR) a affiché sa meilleure performance mensuelle depuis plus de quatre ans, gagnant plus de 45 % en août 2026 et progressant d’environ 10 % sur une seule fenêtre de 24 heures. La dernière fois que la cryptomonnaie axée sur la confidentialité a réalisé une hausse mensuelle comparable, c’était en avril 2021.
THORChain 3.20 apporte des échanges natifs de XMR
La reprise coïncide avec une mise à niveau importante du protocole de THORChain. THORChain a annoncé le lancement de la version 3.20, une mise à niveau introduisant un support natif pour les échanges de Monero ($XMR) et de Zcash (ZEC). Le calendrier compte : jusqu’à présent, pour passer entre des cryptomonnaies de confidentialité comme XMR ou ZEC et le marché crypto plus large, les utilisateurs devaient s’appuyer sur des bourses centralisées, des services de garde ou des étapes intermédiaires supplémentaires.

Physical SHIB Coins on Offer at Fukuoka Event
Rakuten Wallet is bringing Shiba Inu ($SHIB) into the real world at a live investment seminar in Japan. The exchange has announced that its Securities Investment Academy in Fukuoka on September 12 will feature a presentation by senior analyst Matsuda, alongside a giveaway of physical SHIB souvenir coins at the Rakuten Wallet booth.
Entry is straightforward. SHIB holders simply need to show a screenshot of their Rakuten Wallet holdings to qualify for one of the collectible metal coins.
The coins are part of Rakuten Wallet's existing "Real Coin" series. The SHIB edition is the fifth release in the lineup, which already includes physical versions of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. Unlike earlier entries in the series, the SHIB coin features a sandblast finish for a premium matte texture. The metal collectibles carry no technical connection to the Shiba Inu blockchain and are not a means of payment.
Part of a Broader SHIB Push in Japan
The Fukuoka event is the latest step in Rakuten Wallet's growing commitment to $SHIB. The exchange added the token to its platform in April, and the listing allows users to convert Rakuten Points into SHIB and spend them through Rakuten Pay at roughly 5 million retail locations across Japan.
The Fukuoka seminar is not a one-off. Rakuten Wallet plans to continue the roadshow with further seminars in Sapporo and Osaka in October, with the same commemorative coins on offer at each stop.
The campaign reflects a wider effort by Japanese crypto firms to engage retail investors offline. The physical coins are designed to make cryptocurrency more tangible for a conservative retail audience, with Rakuten targeting its ecosystem of 44 million users.

Alderoty Makes the Economic Case for CLARITY
Ripple chief legal officer and National Cryptocurrency Association president Stuart Alderoty is pressing lawmakers to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, arguing that a vote for the bill is effectively "a vote for jobs and economic growth."
His push comes alongside fresh data from the NCA. The crypto industry directly employs 34,000 people in the U.S. and supports 232,000 jobs in total once suppliers and worker spending are counted, according to a report the National Cryptocurrency Association commissioned and funded. The report also puts the average crypto-related job at $133,000 a year, more than double the national median of $64,000.
A further 75,000 jobs sit with suppliers and contractors serving the industry, including law firms, cloud-computing providers and accounting businesses, while an estimated 123,000 additional roles are sustained by spending from crypto workers themselves.
California and New York alone account for more than 111,000 of those supported jobs. California leads the country with around 57,600 positions supported, followed by New York and Texas.
Senate Vote Looms, But Hurdles Remain
The U.S. Senate has taken the first formal step toward voting on the Clarity Act, with a procedural vote scheduled for September 15. The Clarity Act, if passed into law, would provide a formal legal structure for most cryptocurrency activity in the United States, drawing jurisdictional lines between the SEC and CFTC, and placing much of the industry under the purview of the latter.
There are a number of outstanding issues lawmakers need to come to agreements on for a successful vote, including government ethics, law enforcement provisions and stablecoin yield and rewards. The bill needs 60 votes just to proceed to floor debate, a bar it has not yet cleared.
The legislation has already gone further than any previous attempt to establish a comprehensive U.S. crypto framework. The House passed CLARITY in July 2025 by a vote of 294 to 134, with 78 Democrats joining every Republican who voted. Alderoty and the NCA are now using the jobs data to build a bipartisan economic argument for getting the bill over the line in the Senate.

Iceland Votes No to EU Accession Talks
Iceland will remain outside the European Union after voters rejected a government proposal to resume membership negotiations. Broadcaster RUV reported that 52.8% of voters rejected the government's push to reopen EU membership negotiations, while 47.2% voted in favour. A total of 225,031 votes were cast, resulting in a voter turnout of 82.5%.
The question returned to the political agenda under Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir's centre-left coalition government, more than a decade after Iceland withdrew its membership application in 2013. Following the result, Frostadóttir said Iceland would focus on strengthening its existing ties with the EU through the European Economic Area agreement, which it shares with Norway and Liechtenstein. She added that the No vote would end the debate for as long as her centre-left coalition was in power.
What the Result Means for Crypto Regulation
The vote has direct consequences for how Iceland's crypto industry is governed. The rejection keeps Iceland as a member of the European Economic Area and a signatory of the Schengen Agreement, meaning the country remains outside the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework umbrella. Icelandic firms will not automatically receive EU authorisations or access an EU passport as a result of the referendum.
For now, cryptocurrency activities in Iceland are primarily governed through general tax and financial laws rather than a dedicated crypto licensing regime. The lack of an EU passport may increase the cost and complexity for Icelandic exchanges, custody providers, and token issuers when serving EU customers. Firms based in Iceland that want to serve customers in the EU must obtain authorisation from an EU member state or work with EU-licensed partners.
That said, the picture could change over time. MiCA is widely expected to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement in the future, bringing Iceland into closer alignment with the broader European crypto regulatory framework. The main development to watch is the eventual incorporation of MiCA into the EEA Agreement, although no formal timeline has been announced.

BlackRock's tokenized US Treasury fund, BUIDL, has reclaimed the number one position in its category after a brief spell in second place behind Circle's USYC.
BUIDL Back on Top
BUIDL has a market capitalization of roughly $2.8 billion, giving it about 18.5% of the $15.1 billion tokenized Treasury market, narrowly ahead of Circle's USYC, according to Token Terminal data.
BUIDL, formally the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, is issued by BlackRock and operated on-chain through transfer agent Securitize. Each token targets a stable $1 value and accrues daily dividends from short-duration US Treasury bills, repo agreements, and cash.
Tokenized Treasury funds let institutions hold short-term US government debt on a blockchain, with settlement happening around the clock rather than through the multi-day cycles typical of traditional bond markets. That structure has made them a popular vehicle for parking idle cash and posting yield-bearing collateral.
A Rapidly Shifting Race with Circle's USYC
USYC only briefly held the top spot. The fund grew from about $600 million to nearly $3 billion over the past year, reaching roughly $2.9 billion by late August and edging past BUIDL's $2.7 billion, according to Token Terminal data, before losing the lead again this week.
USYC represents a share in Circle's Hashnote-based fund, which Circle folded into its stablecoin business after acquiring Hashnote in 2025. Much of USYC's earlier growth was tied to its use on BNB Chain, with Binance introducing the token as off-exchange collateral for institutional derivatives trading.
Tokenized US Treasuries grew from under $1 billion in early 2024 to over $10 billion by January 2026, and the market has continued expanding since. The category dynamic illustrates that tokenization is not winner-take-all: multiple major players, including BlackRock, Circle, and Ondo, can coexist with different value propositions.

Polygon Labs has disclosed a series of security vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could have seriously disrupted its proof-of-stake network. The flaws were quietly patched through two hard forks before any details were made public, a deliberate sequencing intended to prevent bad actors from acting on the information before fixes were in place.
What the Vulnerabilities Involved
The vulnerabilities affected Polygon's Bor and Heimdall clients and included denial-of-service risks, validator resource exhaustion, and flaws affecting checkpoint and milestone processing, according to a disclosure from Polygon Labs' Validators Support Team.
The most severe issue involved Heimdall, where a specially crafted transaction could force validators to perform excessive processing work, potentially disrupting the network. On the Bor side, the problems were equally concerning. L1-to-L2 state-sync events were effectively un-metered, meaning they could consume block resources without the gas accounting that normally limits runaway computation. The Austin fork introduced per-block gas bounds to cap that exposure. A second issue involved unbounded TxDependency data, a structure Bor uses internally to track transaction ordering. Without limits on how large that structure could grow, a crafted input could stall block processing or crash connected peers entirely.
How Polygon Responded
Polygon Labs patched the vulnerabilities through two hard forks, Austin on its Bor client and Kyoto on Heimdall, rolled out privately and validated on testnet before mainnet activation. The fixes landed in the Austin and Kyoto upgrades, which activated on the Polygon proof-of-stake mainnet on August 29, with a community forum post describing the technical details following two days earlier.
None of the vulnerabilities were observed being exploited on mainnet, according to Polygon, which said the fixes were deployed proactively before details were made public. The approach reflects a recognised best practice in blockchain security: disclosing vulnerabilities only after patches are live reduces the window during which attackers could act on public information.
The hard forks carry an immediate practical requirement for node operators. Polygon PoS nodes must upgrade to Bor v2.10.0, while validators and full nodes must move to Heimdall v0.11.0. After the hard fork activation heights, nodes running older client versions will fall out of consensus and must upgrade to rejoin the canonical chain.

Real Trump Coins, a licensed Trump-branded merchandise company, has denied any involvement in the launch or promotion of Trump Digital GOLD, a Solana-based token that briefly surged before collapsing by nearly 99%.
The denial came after the Real Trump Coins X account promoted the Solana-based token and directed users to RealTrumpCoins(.)com, where GOLD was also advertised. The X posts were later deleted, while the account now links to a separate domain, TrumpCoins(.)com. "Trump Coins has not authorized and will not launch, promote, or authorize any digital token," the company said, adding that it was working with authorities to investigate.
The project attributed the promotion to "third-party bad actors," though the sequence of events raised questions. At the time the denial was posted, RealTrumpCoins(.)com still displayed the GOLD promotion.
On-Chain Data Points to Insider Selling
GOLD briefly reached a $66 million market cap after the Trump-affiliated merchandise account promoted it, before the token's market cap fell from $55 million to $1 million in about 30 seconds.
According to Lookonchain, data from the token launch reveals that 82.45% of the supply was held by developers and new wallets. Team wallets sold $330,000 worth of the token, netting $312,000 in profit. The developer held 600 million GOLD, while 15 new wallets spent $18,657 on another 224.5 million tokens. Those addresses together held 82.45% of supply. Half an hour later, the same 15 wallets sold everything for 3,178 SOL, worth about $330,000.
The concentration of GOLD's supply left buyers exposed to sales from a small wallet group. Once the holders of more than four-fifths of the supply exited, the token had few buyers capable of absorbing the volume entering the market.
No Trump Family Involvement Identified
Real Trump Coins' association with licensed Trump-themed merchandise does not establish that GOLD was approved by Donald Trump, his family, or the Trump Organization. Trump's verified accounts did not publicly promote GOLD. Nobody in the Trump family announced GOLD. Eric Trump had already denied new coin rumors a week earlier, on August 22.
The token is also separate from Official Trump, the Solana memecoin Trump promoted through his verified social media profiles in January 2025. No U.S. regulator or law enforcement agency has publicly identified GOLD's developers or wallet operators.

Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on the Stellar network have surged roughly 360% in 2026, reaching approximately $4 billion and underscoring a rapid shift toward institutional adoption of blockchain-based finance.
From $868 Million to $4 Billion in Under a Year
The Stellar RWA market stood at just $868.8 million at the end of 2025. By late August 2026, that figure had climbed to $3.996 billion, according to a Dune Analytics dashboard maintained by Stellar. The market briefly crossed $4 billion on Aug. 3, per Stellar's own data. The acceleration was broad-based, driven by institutional issuance across multiple asset classes rather than a single source.
The market remains concentrated among a handful of large players. Spiko leads with $1.55 billion in tokenized assets on Stellar as of Aug. 27. Behind it, Realiz holds $559 million, Tradable $548 million, Franklin Templeton $546 million, and Ondo $535 million. Together, those five issuers account for roughly $3.74 billion of the network total.
Non-US Sovereign Debt and Expanding Asset Classes
One of the more notable developments has been Stellar's expansion into non-US government debt. Around $487 million of these assets were held on the network as of Aug. 30, including tokenized Mexican CETES and Brazilian government bonds issued through Etherfuse, a platform specializing in infrastructure for tokenizing local sovereign debt.
Beyond sovereign instruments, Stellar is drawing participation across credit markets, US Treasurys, and equity-linked products, reflecting a broadening of the asset base on the network. Earlier in 2026, the Stellar Development Foundation's Protocol 26 upgrade introduced on-chain compliance features, including a consensus-driven asset-freeze mechanism, which is designed to help attract regulated institutions requiring auditable on-chain transaction records.
Planned connectivity with the DTCC could further deepen institutional ties, with reports suggesting tokenized assets may move to Stellar through that integration in the first half of 2027.

Sberbank Moves to Expand Crypto-Backed Lending
Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, is preparing to accept Ethereum ($ETH) and Tether's USDT as collateral for loans, adding to a Bitcoin ($BTC) lending program it already has in place. Anatoly Popov, deputy chairman of Sberbank's management board, disclosed the plans in an August 28 interview with TASS, ahead of the Eastern Economic Forum.
Popov said the bank would only add $ETH and USDT after the Bank of Russia permits their public circulation. Sberbank has not announced a launch date, loan terms, or eligible customer groups.
Sberbank completed a Bitcoin-backed loan pilot with Russian mining company Intelion Data during December 2025. The bank used its custody infrastructure to hold the collateral during the loan period, giving it a working model for handling crypto as security for a traditional loan.
Sberbank is also developing international digital currency settlement capabilities through its SberBusiness application, with Popov saying the bank plans to introduce the service by the end of 2026.
Russia's New Crypto Framework Takes Effect September 1
On August 4, 2026, Vladimir Putin signed the Law on Digital Currencies and Digital Rights, with the legislation taking effect September 1. The law legalizes the trading of crypto assets through regulated exchanges, brokers, and crypto exchanges, but maintains a ban on the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment within the country.
Russia's central bank will limit retail crypto trading to Bitcoin, Ether, and USDT on regulated exchanges starting September 1. The Bank of Russia included these three assets based on market capitalization criteria, average daily trading volume, and at least five years of pricing history on foreign platforms. Non-qualified investors face a 300,000-ruble annual purchase limit per intermediary, while qualified investors have no cap.
Sberbank's digital asset custody platform is scheduled for completion by December 1, and will safeguard client cryptocurrency holdings under the emerging legal structure. For Sberbank, the regulatory shift opens a path to offer crypto-native clients liquidity against their holdings without requiring them to sell.

The Cronos blockchain was brought to a halt on August 30 after an attacker exploited Tectonic, the chain's largest decentralized lending protocol, in a price-manipulation attack that on-chain researchers estimate caused losses of up to $75 million.
How the Attack Unfolded
The attacker manipulated the price of Tectonic's TONIC governance token roughly 100x in about 20 minutes, then borrowed against the inflated collateral to drain an estimated $66 million to $75 million from the protocol. Researcher Weilin Li said the attacker exploited TONIC's 20% collateral factor and thin liquidity, pumping the governance token's price 100-fold within 20 minutes before borrowing other assets. Li described it as a "Mango-market style" pump-and-borrow attack.
Li initially estimated losses at approximately $66 million, but that figure later rose to roughly $75 million after another attacker-controlled address containing about $8 million was identified. A separate on-chain analysis estimated approximately $119.5 million was withdrawn from affected pools during roughly 65 minutes. Before the attack, Tectonic held $121.7 million in TVL and $82.7 million in active loans.
Network Halt Limits Damage
The attacker managed to bridge only about $6 million to Ethereum before Cronos halted. Cronos uses a Tendermint Core BFT consensus alongside a proof-of-authority structure with an active validator set capped at 100, which enabled validators to coordinate the emergency halt and restrict the attacker's ability to transfer additional funds beyond Cronos.
Tectonic separately warned users not to interact with the protocol while it investigated. Neither project confirmed the root cause or final loss figure, and no restart timeline had been announced at the time of publication.
Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said the firm's app and exchange were not compromised, and that Crypto.com's security team is assisting in the investigation. As of publication, no entity has committed to repaying Tectonic depositors.

Pourquoi le consensus classique ne passe pas à l’échelle
Les protocoles de consensus traditionnels exigent que chaque validateur reçoive l’information de chaque autre validateur avant qu’une décision ne soit prise. Cela fonctionne très bien pour les petits réseaux, mais le nombre de messages augmente fortement à mesure que davantage de nœuds rejoignent, créant un plafond de passage à l’échelle qui limite la taille qu’un réseau décentralisé peut réalistement atteindre.
Avalanche (@avax) adopte une approche différente. Au lieu d’exiger que chaque validateur communique avec chaque autre validateur pour chaque décision, un validateur interroge un petit échantillon aléatoire de pairs et met à jour sa préférence en fonction des réponses. Si une majorité suffisante des validateurs interrogés répond avec la même transaction préférée, cette transaction devient le choix préféré du validateur qui a effectué l’interrogation. Le nœud adopte alors cette préférence pour la suite et répète le processus d’échantillonnage jusqu’à ce que les validateurs interrogés répondent de la même manière pendant un nombre suffisant de tours consécutifs.

@BNBCHAIN s’est imposé comme le réseau dominant pour les inscriptions d’agents IA on-chain, représentant environ 62 % de tous les agents suivis par @8004_scan, l’explorateur multichaîne dédié à la norme ERC-8004.
D’après le tableau de bord de l’explorateur, le nombre de BNB Chain s’élève à 289 765 agents enregistrés sous l’ERC-8004, la norme permettant aux agents autonomes d’obtenir des identités décentralisées, sur un total mondial d’environ 468 600 répartis sur 27 réseaux pris en charge. Plus de la moitié des quelque 109 000 nouvelles inscriptions enregistrées le mois dernier ont été réalisées sur BNB Chain, soulignant à quel point sa part de l’économie des agents s’élargit rapidement.

Les ponts inter-chaînes se sont révélés être l’une des surfaces d’attaque les plus dangereuses de la crypto. De grands incidents, notamment Ronin (624 millions de dollars), Wormhole (326 millions de dollars) et Nomad (190 millions de dollars), ont chacun exploité une faiblesse différente, mais partageaient la même faille structurelle : une seule couche de vérification qui, une fois compromise ou erronée, n’avait rien derrière elle pour s’y opposer. @chainlink ($LINK) a construit son protocole d’interopérabilité inter-chaînes (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol) autour d’une réponse directe à ce problème.
Comment fonctionne le réseau de gestion des risques
Le CCIP ne s’appuie pas sur un seul réseau pour vérifier les messages inter-chaînes. Il en utilise deux, fonctionnant entièrement en parallèle. La couche principale, un réseau d’oracles décentralisé composé des nœuds Chainlink, observe l’activité de la chaîne source et produit une racine Merkle signée des messages en attente. Un second groupe distinct de nœuds exécute ensuite ce que Chainlink appelle le réseau de gestion des risques (Risk Management Network, RMN).

Coincheck franchit l’obstacle de la licence des stablecoins au Japon
La bourse de cryptomonnaies basée à Tokyo, @coincheckjp, a finalisé son enregistrement en tant que fournisseur de services d’échange d’instruments de paiement électroniques, une désignation requise par le Japon avant qu’un opérateur puisse intervenir pour des jetons adossés à la monnaie fiduciaire pour des clients. Coincheck a finalisé son enregistrement d’instruments de paiement électroniques le 27 août 2026, l’autorisant à traiter des stablecoins. Le registre de la Financial Services Agency indique que le $USDC de Circle est l’instrument que Coincheck gérera, bien qu’aucune date de lancement publique n’ait été annoncée.

L’offre en circulation de Terra Classic se situe aujourd’hui près de 5,5 billions de tokens. Presque aucun d’entre eux n’existait avant une seule semaine en mai 2022.
Comment le Death Spiral a frappé des billions
Le protocole de Terra permettait à quiconque de racheter 1 UST, sa stablecoin algorithmique indexée sur le dollar, pour 1 $ de LUNA à n’importe quel prix. La mécanique était simple dans des marchés calmes, mais mortelle sous pression : à mesure que le prix du LUNA chutait, chaque dollar racheté créait un nombre toujours plus grand de nouveaux tokens.
La course a commencé le 7 mai 2022, lorsque deux adresses ont retiré 375 millions de dollars d’UST d’Anchor, le protocole de prêt qui versait un rendement annuel d’environ 20 % sur quelque trois quarts de l’offre totale d’UST, selon une étude publiée par le National Bureau of Economic Research. Une fois que quelques gros détenteurs d’UST ont ajusté leurs positions le 7 mai 2022, d’autres grands traders ont suivi. La technologie blockchain a permis aux investisseurs de surveiller les actions des uns et des autres et a amplifié la vitesse de la course.

Sur la plupart des blockchains, l’application qui met les utilisateurs en relation ne voit jamais un centime des frais de gaz que ces utilisateurs génèrent. @Coredao_Org essaie de changer cela.
Comment Rev+ fonctionne
Rev+ est le mécanisme de partage des revenus au niveau du protocole de Core qui distribue automatiquement une partie des frais de gaz des transactions aux bâtisseurs, aux émetteurs de stablecoins et aux DAO en fonction de leurs contributions au réseau. Le programme fait tourner deux volets en parallèle : une partie des frais de gaz des transactions est automatiquement distribuée aux destinataires désignés à chaque exécution de transaction, garantissant un partage de valeur immédiat basé sur l’activité du contrat intelligent. En parallèle, les frais de gaz s’accumulent dans un fonds de récompense partagé, distribué chaque mois entre les partenaires participants en fonction de leurs contributions relatives selon quatre indicateurs clés. Ces indicateurs sont le nombre de transactions, le nombre de nouvelles adresses uniques, la valeur transférée et les frais totaux générés.
