Optimism's op-supernode v1.0.3 has enhanced the verification of the hard fork activation time and order for custom rollup configurations. Configurations that do not pass the new conditions may be rejected during the virtual node operation phase, and teams operating their own rollup settings should check the fork time and order.

Optimism has deployed op-node v1.19.8, which reduces block production delays for sequencers and prevents hard fork misconfigurations. Sepolia OP Stack chain operators must update to v1.19.5 or higher before the Glamstardam hard fork on October 6.

Optimism has released Koma v1.8.0, a Rust-based verification tool, and recommends all chains update to it. This update addresses issues with incorrect batch processing, fault proof execution errors, and TLS connection problems, enhancing the stability and consistency of the OP Stack.

Optimism has fixed two security vulnerabilities in op-reth v2.5.0 and removed two old commands that were used to import pre-Bedrock history. Nodes using these commands will need to reset their state and change their history import procedure before upgrading.

Optimism has released a major update to its Rust-based fault proof system. This update focuses on enhancing compatibility with the OP Stack by improving consistency in data derivation and proof execution processes.

The NEAR-based Near Intents protocol has suffered approximately $3.8 million in damages due to a hack. The cause was a bug between the Omni deposit/withdrawal infrastructure and smart contracts. The vulnerability has been patched, and the full amount of damages is expected to be compensated. Some network deposits/withdrawals will be delayed by 12 hours.

Verona has launched verUSD, a stablecoin for AI payments. It is backed by over $100 million in institutional and ecosystem commitments and is available on various networks including Ethereum and Polygon.

Arbitrum attracted the most funds with $139.64 million in net inflows over the week, followed by Polygon PoS, OP Mainnet, Solana, and Base chains. In contrast, Hyperliquid recorded the largest outflow with $100.73 million in net outflows.

Velodrome and Aerodrome will transition to the integrated DEX Aerodrome on October 21. xVELO holders must bridge their assets to the OP network by October 15. Aerodrome will support seven networks and is set to become a cross-chain trading platform.

Velodrome (Optimism) and Aerodrome (Base) DEXs will merge into Aero on Oct 21, launching on OP Mainnet and Ink. VELO issuance and voting continue pre-merge. Other chains cease issuance and cross-chain support, with specific deadlines for asset withdrawal.

Due to low profitability and risk in its restaking business, ether.fi is shifting its focus to a neo-bank model, integrating cards, loans, and tokenized assets. The platform plans to disconnect from EigenLayer by the end of the third quarter and remove EigenPod withdrawal eligibility by the end of the year.

Optimism has transitioned its OP Stack chains' fault proof system to a Superchain format. Upgrade 20 consolidates the state of multiple chains into a single hash structure, with interoperability enablement planned for a future hard fork. Chain operators need to update their relevant configurations.

Optimism's Upgrade 20 enhances the OP Stack fault proof system by introducing a multi-chain super root, enabling state snapshots across multiple chains at the same timestamp and preparing for future cross-chain interoperability. Node operators require no action.

ENA has risen by 22.85% in the last 24 hours. Major altcoins such as PUMP, SEI, JTO, SPK, and SUI have also recorded double-digit increases. JUP, LDO, WLD, POL, NEAR, OP, and SKY have also shown upward trends.

Circle and Tether froze a Bitget hacker's wallet containing $218K USDT and $99K USDC, but most of the $351M stolen ETH remains unfrozen. Bitget's backend was compromised, but user funds are covered.

XRP surged 4% as whales bought $724M in five days and spot ETFs saw three consecutive days of inflows. Despite a Bitget hack affecting some tokens, XRP shows bullish technicals, aiming for the August high near $1.70.

QNT experienced a significant surge of 38.39% in the past 24 hours, spearheading a broader rally across the altcoin market. Several other altcoins, including NEAR Protocol, ONDO, and XPL, also saw substantial gains, indicating a widespread increase in market interest.

It is claimed that the total value locked (TVL) in the Optimism Superchain ecosystem has surpassed $14 billion. However, this figure combines assets from all OP Stack-based networks, including Base and Worldcoin, not just the OP mainnet. Differences in aggregation criteria and scope compared to official metrics may exist, so it should be interpreted separately from individual chain TVLs.

Optimism's Superchain TVL surpasses $14 billion, combining multiple OP Stack networks like Base and World Chain. This highlights the ecosystem's growing economic footprint and Optimism's strategy towards an interoperable system of chains.

Last week, Hyperliquid recorded the largest fund inflow with a net inflow of $619.52 million. In contrast, Arbitrum experienced the largest fund outflow with a net outflow of $637.81 million. Net outflows were also observed in some chains, including Ethereum and BNB Chain.
