language
Contract language in which developers must otherwise implement P-256 verification at high gas cost absent a precompile.
Cantina released apex-flash-1, an open-weights vulnerability-research model it says solved 40 of 60 tasks for $2.38, against $74.68 for Claude Opus 5 High. There is no hosted endpoint, so teams download the 321-billion-parameter weights, pay for their own inference and verify the numbers themselves.
Reality
Pluto Security says the SleepyDuck operator re-listed fake Solidity extensions on Open VSX within hours of a takedown, in a stage it calls EtherDuck. Each wave stayed up about 19 hours, long enough for a single install to leave persistent access that the takedown did not remove.
Reality
Pharos Production found ERC-3643's pinned token calls canTransfer inside mint, though the standard says minting bypasses compliance. Under that code, a mint to a wallet the compliance modules reject can revert, so issuers working from the written text have two behaviors to reconcile first.
Reality
Replay's top ticket pays exactly the host contract's cap, so one wei of disagreement between three call sites reverts the round. Four hundred simulated rounds never drew that ticket. Enumerating every rank took seconds.
Reality
A dev.to walkthrough deploys a Groth16 price oracle on Arbitrum for under 2.5 cents per proof. Most of that money is the 280,000 gas verification, so the budget tracks L2 gas rather than cryptography.
Reality
Two parameters, #95 and #96, would add a CLZ opcode and a P-256 precompile. The software deadline falls nine days before the vote, and stragglers fork themselves off the chain.
