The Zcash Foundation has released Zebra 7.0.0, the first stable version of its node software to support NU7, the next network upgrade for @Zcash. Mainnet activation is planned for around November 5, and node operators must upgrade before block 3,543,405 to stay on the main chain.
What NU7 changes for Zcash
The headline change is speed. NU7 brings blocks every 25 seconds instead of every 75, according to the Zcash Foundation's release notes. If the network hits that target, any wait measured in confirmations shrinks to about a third, so three blocks would take roughly 75 seconds instead of nearly four minutes.
Faster blocks do not change how much $ZEC is created each day. The upgrade reduces issuance per block to one-third to keep total new issuance per day unchanged. That leaves the 21 million supply cap and four-year halving schedule unchanged.
NU7 also introduces a Network Sustainability Mechanism. Under ZIP 235, 60% of each block's transaction fees are removed from circulation into a reserve, while miners keep the other 40%. The accumulated reserve will be paid out as block rewards in a reissuance process scheduled to begin in February 2031, and the total supply cap will not change.
The upgrade also adds new shielded limits. The Zcash Foundation says these protect wallets from spam.
What node operators and holders need to do
All mainnet node operators must upgrade before NU7 activates to stay on the consensus chain. After activation, NU7 nodes disconnect peers that run older versions, and nodes that have not upgraded will follow a different chain. The older Zebra 6.4.x series is also set to stop. Zebra 6.4.x is set to stop operating around Nov. 2.
Zebra 7.0.0 also includes other changes. The release brings faster, more reliable syncing near the chain tip and fixes seven security advisories. It migrates the state database to a new format the first time it starts.
Holders with funds in Sprout, Zcash's oldest privacy pool, should act before activation. Version 4 transactions become invalid once NU7 activates, and because Sprout transfers can only be written as version 4 transactions, any funds still in the pool become unspendable.
The activation date is an estimate based on block height, so the exact timing may shift slightly depending on how quickly blocks are produced before the switch. NU7 was switched on for the public testnet first, giving the network its first live run of 25-second blocks.

@chainlink and LG CNS, the technology arm of LG Group, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at the infrastructure behind Korea's digital asset market. According to a joint press release, the deal was announced on Oct. 22, 2026, and covers a market the companies value at $68 billion.
What the partnership covers
The partnership brings the full Chainlink platform into LG CNS's ongoing work in building digital asset platform solutions for Korean institutions, and establishes a joint effort on technical standards underpinning Korea's digital asset economy. LG CNS and Chainlink are also expanding the utility and distribution of Korean stablecoins, in a market with more than 11 million eligible users.
Chainlink Labs Chief Business Officer Johann Eid said in the release that the combination of LG CNS's institutional expertise and Chainlink's technology standards establishes the foundation for compliant digital asset infrastructure in Korea.
The announcement ties Chainlink to the LG CNS digital asset platform. Genfinity noted that the release names no launch dates, partner banks or target blockchains yet, and that it links Chainlink to the platform rather than to Project Hangang itself.
The tie-up follows an earlier agreement. The Korea Times reported that when LG CNS launched its KITL blockchain infrastructure platform on Oct. 6, it also signed memorandums of understanding with Circle Internet Group, Securitize, Canton Foundation, Chainalysis and Chainlink.
LG CNS's role in Project Hangang
LG CNS is the lead contractor for the Bank of Korea's Project Hangang, a digital currency pilot. The company is responsible for building, operating and expanding the country's digital currency infrastructure, and the project's first phase involved approximately 80,000 customers across seven Korean banks.
Participants in that phase used deposit tokens. Genfinity reported that these represent commercial bank deposits rather than a direct central bank liability.
LG Group is one of Korea's largest business groups, with approximately ₩186 trillion (about $140 billion) in assets across 63 affiliates. For Chainlink, the deal gives its data and cross-chain tools a route into a contractor already embedded in Korea's central bank digital currency work. Final Korean stablecoin rules are still pending, according to Genfinity, and are likely to shape which tokens institutions can move.

Flareは韓国のテレビ番組に出演し、XRPを分散型金融（DeFi）に取り込むための取り組みを紹介しました。Korea Blockchain Weekの期間中、Korea Economic TVの「Crypto Labs」に出演した@FlareNetworksのAPAC責任者、Kyle Kim（@Banktheworld）は、Flareをデータのためのブロックチェーンだと説明しました。
FXRPの仕組み
Kim氏によると、Flareは価格や他のチェーン上の取引など、外部の情報を検証し、スマートコントラクトで利用できるようにします。$XRPの保有者は、Flare上でトークンをFXRPに交換して、貸し出したり、担保に借り入れたり、利回りを得たりでき、希望するタイミングでいつでも元に戻せます。

The crypto market fell 3.79% in 24 hours to $2.71T, with Bitcoin ($BTC) down 4.20% at $81,125. Against that backdrop, @MemeCore_M's MemeCore ($M) rose 18.36% to $0.8932, making it the only big gainer in the top 100. Starknet ($STRK) was the weakest large token, falling 16.22% to $0.054.
MemeCore rallies on thin volume
MemeCore's advance came on light trading. Just $3.88M changed hands over 24 hours against a market capitalisation of about $2.04B, a low ratio that suggests the move was not backed by heavy turnover. CoinMarketCap data shows a similar picture for 24-hour volume, with the token still about 81% below its April 2026 all-time high of $4.84.
No project-specific announcement has been clearly tied to the gain. CryptoPotato noted that it remains unclear what triggered the revival, while pointing to a change in how M liquidity is bridged, which now runs through LayerZero. Analysts cited by CoinMarketCap have also flagged concerns about insider supply control and past extreme volatility.
Starknet extends its slide after the Layer 1 rally
@Starknet's $STRK fell 16.22% on $118.43M in volume, the steepest drop in the top 100. That extends a 39.6% weekly decline from $0.0915.
The token had surged earlier in the month. StarkWare first floated the idea of an independent Layer 1 network on Oct. 8, and STRK hit an intraday high of $0.1265 on October 11, according to Crypto Briefing, citing AltcoinBuzz. The team said at the time that this would enable Starknet to become the first fully quantum-resistant network, with 2027 as the target.
Supply added pressure during the pullback. A scheduled unlock released 127 million STRK to early contributors and investors on October 15, worth about $11 million at the time, per Tokenomist data. Unlocks of up to that size are scheduled to continue monthly through March 2027.
A community vote on the Layer 1 proposal has since concluded. Bitcoin.com reported that STRK tumbled on Thursday following the vote, and that under the proposed approach STRK would remain Starknet's native token, with no plans to introduce a replacement. The earlier Snapshot poll was described as non-binding.
Network activity has held up better than the token. Crypto Briefing reported that Starknet's DeFi total value locked fell 5.3% over the same period, a smaller drop than the token's. Even so, the token is down nearly 99% since peaking at $4.41 in Feb. 2024.

アイルランド中央銀行（@centralbank_ie）は、顧客資金がCoinbaseの他の法人の顧客に属する資金と混在していたことを確認し、@coinbaseのアイルランド法人に325万ユーロの罰金を科しました。違反は、アイルランドの電子マネー規則に基づき、2020年11月から2025年8月まで続いていました。
規制当局が確認した内容
Coinbase Irelandは電子マネー機関で、欧州の顧客がCoinbaseのプラットフォームでビットコインなどの暗号資産を購入する際に使う、ユーロおよび米ドルの残高を発行しています。法律では、こうした残高を専用の保全口座に保管し、企業資金やCoinbaseの他の法人の顧客資金とは分別することが義務付けられています。

韓国の与党・共に民主党は、2027年1月1日に導入予定の、長らく延期されてきた暗号資産の利益への課税を実施するかどうか、今年中に判断しなければならない。党首の金民錫（キム・ミンソク）氏（@ms2030）は木曜日、現時点では計画に変更はないとしつつ、市場環境や若い投資家の意見、税制の準備が整っているかどうかを踏まえて検討すると述べた。
この課税は2020年に法制化されたものの、徴収されたことは一度もない。政府は2020年7月に課税を発表し、国会は同年12月、2022年の導入に向けて必要な法案を可決した。その後、導入時期は2023年、2025年、そして2027年へと延期された。

@Ondo now has $4.02B in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) in circulation, up 5.74% over the past 30 days, according to RWA.xyz data. That places Ondo Finance second among tokenization platforms, behind @Securitize at $4.3B.
Holders and transfer volume rise
Over the same 30-day period, the number of holders rose 11.6% to 555,157. Monthly transfer volume jumped 38% to $2.47B, with 165,304 active addresses.
Transfer volume counts token movements between wallets, so it does not necessarily reflect new purchases, sales or fresh investor capital. The same caveat applies to active address counts, which are not a verified tally of individual investors, as analysis from Insights4.VC notes.
Treasuries still anchor the total
US Treasury products account for $3.0B of Ondo's total, while 408 tokenized stocks add $908.2M. The Treasury figure is consistent with a recent report by Yahoo Finance, which said RWA.xyz data ranks Ondo's tokenized Treasury holdings at $3 billion, higher than any other issuer. Ondo's Treasury offering includes USDY and OUSG. According to RWA.xyz, USDY is a tokenized note for non-US individuals and institutions, secured by short-term US Treasuries and bank demand deposits.
The growth comes as the wider sector gains institutional attention. The IMF's October 2026 Global Financial Stability Report names Ondo among the top tokenization platforms, alongside Securitize, Circle and Tether, TheStreet reported. As of October 9, RWA.xyz reported about $39.02 billion in distributed asset value across the market, according to KuCoin.
Competition is also building in tokenized equities. A DWF Labs report cited by CoinMarketCap put the tokenized equity market at $3.8 billion, up 483% since January, though Ondo's lead has narrowed as rivals gained share. Ondo's native token is $ONDO.

Zebec Network says its stablecoin payroll product now processes about $55 million a month, according to its September report. The figure points to steady growth in a niche where crypto firms are trying to move from trading and speculation toward everyday payments infrastructure.
In the report, @Zebec_HQ said the payroll product now serves 16,000 employees across 271 business clients. @ZebecCards are now used in 97 countries, with 25,233 cards issued.
Growth against earlier figures
The numbers are higher than those in the company's first-quarter report. That report put monthly payroll volume at $49 million, serving 13,100 employees across 243 enterprise clients. The same report listed 21,626 cards issued. Measured against those figures, monthly volume has risen by roughly 12%, clients by 28 and cards issued by about 3,600. These are company-reported numbers and have not been independently audited.
The Q1 report also showed card reach was already broad. Zebec said its cards were available in 97 countries at that point, so the latest update shows deeper usage in the same footprint rather than new country coverage.
MoneyGram access and the buyback programme
Zebec also widened MoneyGram cash pickup to more than 170 countries and territories and added several chains to its SuperApp. Zebec Network integrated MoneyGram Ramps through Stellar to make stablecoin payroll more accessible across global markets. MoneyGram says Ramps turns 480,000+ locations in 170+ countries and territories into cash-in and cash-out points, with KYC, compliance and settlement handled by MoneyGram. For workers paid in stablecoins, the link addresses a practical gap: turning digital dollars into local cash.
The $ZBCN buyback programme now runs across cards, the SuperApp and payroll. The project bought 40,536,539 ZBCN in Q3 2026, worth about $100,000, using revenue from cards and payroll. The main uncertainty remains how much revenue sits behind each quarterly purchase, according to Coingabbar's analysis. That makes payroll volume a useful but indirect gauge of token demand.
Zebec's growth in clients and employees suggests enterprise demand for real-time stablecoin payroll is building, though the company's scale remains small next to traditional payroll providers.

Singularity Compute, which runs on @SingularityNET's tech, has released Super Decider, a model that anyone can download and use for free under an open license. Instead of writing text, it picks from options a developer sets, such as which team should handle a support ticket, and gives each option a probability in about 0.3 seconds.
The model is live on ASI:Cloud (@CUDOS_). In the company's own testing, it scored 85.6 on NVIDIA's When2Call benchmark, ahead of TypeSafe's Jev and Cloudflare's Clef, but 1.6 points behind Clef on a tool-selection test. The figures come from the developer and have not been independently verified.
How Super Decider works
According to the project's GitHub repository, Super Decider answers typed questions about a state, covering choices, yes/no questions and scores, each with a calibrated probability distribution returned in a single call. The repository describes it as a fine-tune of Google's DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B, a discrete-diffusion mixture-of-experts model with 4 billion active parameters. It reads every answer slot in one denoising step and runs on a single NVIDIA L40S GPU.
The same page says the API follows the Jev / TypeSafe "System One" request format and is also compatible with OpenAI-style chat completions. The code is released under the Apache-2.0 licence. The developers state that no benchmark test items were used for training.
For developers, the appeal is a structured output rather than free-form text. A classifier-style model that reports its own confidence can be used to route support tickets, triage requests or gate automated actions, with low-confidence cases passed to a human.
What the benchmarks measure
When2Call is an NVIDIA benchmark. Its peer-reviewed paper says it evaluates tool-calling decision-making: when to generate a tool call, when to ask follow-up questions and when to admit a question cannot be answered with the tools provided. That focus on the decision, rather than the accuracy of the call itself, is why it suits a model built to choose between options.
The result sits within a broader push by the ASI Alliance into AI infrastructure. Singularity Compute describes itself as part of SingularityNET and the ASI Alliance, and delivers inference through the ASI:Cloud platform. The alliance links Fetch.ai, SingularityNET and CUDOS under a shared token, according to Crypto.com Academy.
Because the benchmark results are self-reported and the comparison with Clef on tool selection is narrowly negative, developers may want to test the model on their own workloads before adopting it.

Super validators, the top operators of @CantonNetwork, have approved a proposal that changes how every transaction server on the network pays for its traffic. The measure, CIP-0129, was put forward by Shaul Kfir of Digital Asset and Yiannis Varelas of Five North. Under it, every live synchronizer, the servers that order and confirm transactions, will pay for traffic by burning Canton Coin ($CC) at $60 per MB.
What changes for synchronizers
Until now, only the shared Global Synchronizer burned coins. Privately run synchronizers paid Digital Asset directly. The draft proposal describes the existing split as a network that is technically one but economically two. It says traffic on dedicated synchronizers has historically run under commercial software licenses, with payments going to Digital Asset, and that those fees will be phased out as Digital Asset open-sources the core network (see the CIP draft in the sources below).
Under the new model, anyone will be able to run a synchronizer without permission, and apps and validators operating on them will earn rewards too. The switch is estimated for Q1 2027, with volume discounts to follow around Q3 2027.
How the burn works
The Canton Network documentation says fees are denominated in USD but paid by burning Canton Coin when users purchase synchronizer traffic, and that the burned coins are permanently removed from circulation. In return, validators, super validators and application providers mint new coins for their contributions, a design the docs call a burn-mint equilibrium.
The $60 per MB figure matches the traffic price already used on the Global Synchronizer, as described by the Canton ecosystem publication CantonNews. Extending that price to all production synchronizers means traffic that was previously paid for through license fees will now feed into the same burn and reward system as the Global Synchronizer.
For $CC holders, the practical effect depends on how much traffic moves to dedicated synchronizers and how that activity is priced once volume discounts arrive. Those details have not yet been set out in the approved timeline.

The Arbitrum Foundation has partnered with @RobinhoodCrypto to open applications for the second cohort of the Arbitrum Mentorship Program. The 12-week initiative is aimed at early-stage startups building on Arbitrum One and Robinhood Chain, and it culminates in a Demo Day in March 2027.
What Cohort 2 offers
The program combines technical mentoring, a $100K prize pool and access to investors. Organisers expect the Demo Day to draw more than 50 venture capital allocators. According to Alexa Blockchain, the programme will select up to 15 pre-seed and seed-stage teams, who will work with investors and operators from across the Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain ecosystems.
The new round is longer than the first. Cohort 2 extends the programme from eight weeks to twelve, per the same report. David Garcia, Ecosystem Lead at the Arbitrum Foundation, said the program is looking for founders who already have a product live or close to launch and want to build on Arbitrum One or Robinhood Chain.
The first cohort ran for eight weeks from April. Thirteen teams were selected and ten pitched at Demo Day in July to more than 25 venture firms. The cohort has since raised more than $10 million in capital, the report said. In its own review of the first cohort, the Arbitrum Foundation said four teams shared a $100,000 prize pool and two of the four winners are building on Robinhood Chain.
Why Robinhood Chain matters here
Robinhood Chain is central to the program's pitch. It is an Ethereum layer 2 built on Arbitrum Orbit, which settles to Ethereum and uses ETH for gas, according to QuickNode's developer guide. Robinhood launched the public testnet in February 2026, describing it as a financial-grade Ethereum layer 2 designed to support real-world assets. Its mainnet went live on July 1, 2026, based on Dwellir's overview.
For Arbitrum, the tie-up links two ecosystems that already share technology. Backing startups on both chains gives the Foundation a way to widen developer activity beyond Arbitrum One while giving Robinhood a pipeline of applications for its own network. Teams interested in Cohort 2 should check the Arbitrum Foundation's official channels for application details and deadlines.

An institutional Avalanche ($AVAX) whale has sent a seven-figure deposit to Coinbase, ending a long stretch of accumulation, according to data from @Arkham.
The address beginning 0x55De moved 119,416 $AVAX, worth about $1.1 million, to a @Coinbase exchange wallet. It is the wallet's first deposit to a centralized exchange in six months. Exchange deposits of this kind are typically read as a sign the holder may sell, though the transfer alone does not confirm that.
End of a 727-day accumulation run
The deposit also breaks the pattern that defined the wallet's activity. The address began accumulating 727 days ago, building its position through withdrawals from the Coinbase and Bitstamp order books. Moving tokens back onto an exchange reverses that direction for the first time in the period.
The sale, if it happens, would be small relative to the wallet's size. The address still holds more than 1.36 million $AVAX, for a total portfolio value of $12.52 million. The deposit therefore represents less than 10% of the stack by value, and the whale remains a large holder.
Market context
Whale deposits have drawn attention in the AVAX market before. AMBCrypto reported that Avalanche faced exchange-side selling pressure after a separate whale sent $2.4 million of tokens to Coinbase in multiple transactions over four hours.
On price, Coinbase data shows AVAX trading near $9.64, down about 12% over the past month and roughly 49% over the past year. The token remains far below its 2021 peak of $147.50, according to the same page.
Avalanche is described by Crypto.com as an open, programmable smart contracts platform that launched its mainnet in September 2020, with $AVAX used for payments, security and connecting the network's functions.
Traders will be watching whether further transfers follow from the same address, and whether the remaining 1.36 million $AVAX stays in place or also moves to exchanges.

@Uniswap has launched Aggregator Hooks for Uniswap v4, allowing the decentralized exchange to route trades through liquidity held on outside platforms. The feature is live on @Ethereum mainnet, @Base and Robinhood Chain, and it moves the protocol closer to a multi-venue aggregator model.
How Aggregator Hooks work
Hooks are smart contracts that attach to individual liquidity pools and change how those pools behave, according to Crypto Briefing. Aggregator Hooks use that framework to wrap an external liquidity source as a Uniswap v4 pool, so any router can treat it like a native one.
Uniswap compares prices across its own pools and outside platforms, then completes the swap in one transaction, The Block reported. TechFlow said the router fetches real-time quotes and combines internal and external liquidity to find the best path.
Seven external liquidity sources are supported at launch, including Curve, Fluid and PancakeSwap, according to ChainCatcher. Uniswap's developer documentation also lists PancakeSwap V3 and Slipstream, alongside forks of Uniswap V2 and V3, as reported by Cryptonomist.
Rollout, fees and open questions
The hooks are available through the Uniswap web app and API, with support for more blockchains planned. The Block reported that the first aggregator hook went live in March 2026 on Tempo, a payments-focused blockchain developed by Stripe and Paradigm. Uniswap first outlined plans for aggregator hooks in its UNIfication proposal in November 2025.
For $UNI holders, the fee design is the notable detail. Trades that use external liquidity will pay Uniswap protocol fees, which will contribute to UNI token burns, according to The Block.
Crypto Briefing noted that Uniswap's official documentation does not reference any independent third-party aggregator hooks, so the aggregation layer currently appears to be Uniswap Labs' own work. It also flagged that routing across external platforms adds dependencies on those platforms behaving as expected, and that every new hook adds smart contract code.
Robinhood Chain launched in July 2026 and has become a prominent venue for Uniswap activity, per Crypto Briefing. DefiLlama data showed Robinhood Chain and Ethereum with similar 24-hour DEX volume for Uniswap at the time of writing.

越境決済向け流動性プラットフォームのArfは、XRP Ledger（XRPL）上でプログラムによる決済クレジットを利用するため、Rippleと正式に提携しました。この提携により、@Rippleの法人向けステーブルコイン$RLUSDと、ライセンスを取得した世界各地の決済機関が結び付けられ、認可を受けた送金事業者はリアルタイムの運転資金枠を利用できるようになります。目的は、資本をより効率的に活用することです。
ArfとRippleの流動性モデルの仕組み
Crypto Briefingによると、スイスの規制下にあるArfは、認可を受けた決済事業者に通常1～5日間の短期運転資金を貸し付けるプロバイダーです。これにより、受取側に事前に資金を用意しなくても決済を完了できます。Rippleとの提携では、資金はRLUSDでXRP Ledger上に直接提供されます。決済事業者はステーブルコインの流動性を借りて取引を決済し、自社資金が届いた後に返済します。

Cardano（$ADA）は10月20日、取引手数料収入として3,079ドルを計上しました。これは、Layer-1ブロックチェーンとして過去7日間で最も高い1日あたりの収入です。この数字は短期的な活動の活発化を示していますが、最大の競合相手と比べると依然として小規模です。
増加の要因
@chainspect_appが追跡したデータによると、増加の背景には、CardanoのeUTXO（拡張型未使用トランザクション出力）実行モデルを通じて処理された取引の増加があります。この設計では、資金は個別の出力ボックスに保管され、1つの取引で複数のボックスから同時に資金を使うことができます。そのため、1回の取引で複数の受取人に送金したり、複数のスマートコントラクトの処理をまとめて実行したりできます。

Bybit says it has secured a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) licence from Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), a step towards a permanent regulated presence in the emirate where it has been headquartered since 2022.
The company announced that Bybit Fintech FZE has secured the VASP licence from VARA for Exchange Services, covering spot trading. The company established its international headquarters in Dubai in 2022.
What the licence covers
The scope is narrower than a full-service authorisation. The approval covers exchange services, including crypto spot trading, but derivatives trading was not included. Peter Loo, Bybit's Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, said the company hopes in time to expand its licensed activities to include derivatives, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
Co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou said Dubai has made significant progress in building a regulatory environment for virtual assets. He added that Bybit will build its business in line with the standards set by VARA.
The Dubai approval is not Bybit's first in the UAE. In 2025, CoinDesk reported that Bybit secured a Virtual Asset Platform Operator License from the UAE's Securities and Commodities Authority. CoinDesk noted that many crypto firms in Dubai are regulated under the VARA framework, while the SCA regime applies on the UAE mainland and is wider in scope.
The licence also comes during a busy year for Bybit's regulatory work. The company said it has secured five new licences and regulatory approvals this year outside Dubai, including in the European Union, the Cayman Islands, Indonesia, South Africa and El Salvador.
Regulator's register still shows in-principle approval
There is a discrepancy between the company's announcement and the public record. FinanceFeeds reported that VARA's public register still listed Bybit Fintech FZE as holding In-Principle Approval, not a full VASP licence. VARA says an in-principle approval is conditional and prohibits the holder from operating or servicing clients until it obtains the full licence. FinanceFeeds suggested the gap may reflect a delay in updating the register.
Readers should treat the company's statement and the regulator's record as separate until VARA's register is updated. For Bybit users in the UAE, the practical effect will depend on the final licensed scope, which currently centres on spot trading.

Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is dropping the word "crypto" from the name of its flagship blockchain fund. The Information reported that the venture firm, which made one of the boldest bets on blockchain in the venture world, has informed some of its limited partners of the change.
The vehicle, known as a16z crypto, has raised nearly $10 billion across five funds, according to The Information. The firm is run by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, with Chris Dixon leading the crypto arm.
What is changing at a16z crypto
According to The Information, the fund will shift its focus to other investment areas, and its first founding member is leaving. Bloomingbit, citing the same report, said the fund will be renamed a16z Frontier and that general partner Ali Yahya is departing to start his own company. Techmeme's summary of the report also points to the a16z Frontier name and a broader strategy beyond crypto.
The reported new areas include enterprise computing, physical-world asset distribution and financial infrastructure for machines. It is not yet clear how the change will affect the firm's existing crypto investment business, according to a Chinese-language summary of the report from Wublock123.
Not everyone reads the move as an exit. ChainCatcher's analysis said the change signals a broader mandate rather than a withdrawal from the sector. It noted that Chris Dixon remains in his role and that crypto assets and blockchain remain a core focus under the wider label.
Context: a smaller fund and a wider mandate
The renaming follows a fifth crypto fund that was smaller than its predecessor. a16z crypto said it raised $2.2 billion for Crypto Fund 5, aimed at turning new infrastructure into products people use every day, including payments and financial services. Wublock123 reported that this was roughly half the $4.5 billion raised for the fourth fund in 2022.
The firm has also been spreading capital into other areas. In August, a16z closed a $1.1 billion Machine Age Fund targeting AI hardware, including chips, networking, data centers and robotics, according to Crypto Briefing.
For the crypto industry, the rebrand is a signal on how one of its largest venture backers is positioning itself. Whether it marks a retreat or a widening of scope will depend on where the firm deploys capital from the renamed fund.

Holders of the @StarkNet token $STRK have voted overwhelmingly to back research into turning the network from an Ethereum Layer 2 rollup into an independent, post-quantum Layer 1 blockchain. The vote is non-binding and does not approve a migration.
Vote results and next steps
The result came from an initial seven-day Snapshot poll that closed on Thursday morning. The split was clear:
93.5% voted in favor of conducting the research.
4.57% voted against.
1.91% took a neutral stance.
More than 93.5% of the voting power supported the proposal, with over 2,800 wallets participating, according to StarkWare. The development company behind Starknet did not vote in the poll, leaving the decision to the community. Another outlet, citing StarkWare, reported about 3,200 votes, the highest participation in Starknet's governance history. The difference in participation figures between reports has not been explained.
Following the results, StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation will further research the potential transition. StarkWare Ltd. is expected to deliver an architectural whitepaper by November. CEO Eli Ben-Sasson told The Block the team hopes to release a draft for public scrutiny in November. The paper is meant to set out frameworks that would leave Starknet independent of any external base-layer cryptography roadmap.
Why Starknet is looking at an independent Layer 1
The core issue is the network's reliance on Ethereum. StarkWare noted that Starknet uses hash-based cryptography and accounts could implement post-quantum signatures without altering the protocol, but its cross-chain bridges and data availability still rely on Ethereum, making full post-quantum security unattainable in isolation.
Timing is also a factor. Ben-Sasson argued that Ethereum's 2029 target for becoming quantum-safe is too late, and has set 2027 as Starknet's target.
The vote is only a first step. STRK holders would have to vote again on any future proposal to actually move the network. No date has been agreed for a possible move to Layer 1. The Starknet Foundation has said that, whatever the final decision, STRK will remain the native token, no new tokens will be issued, and the bridge between Ethereum and Starknet will stay open. Until a separate vote says otherwise, Starknet will continue to operate as an Ethereum layer-2 solution.
