Bitcoin’s BIP-110: A Fork in the Road or a Dead End?

by

BIP-110, that darling of Luke Dashjr, promises to corral stray data in transactions with the precision of a poet and the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Lopp, ever the skeptic, dismisses it as a seven-lock door on a house built on sand. He calls it “reckless and doomed to fail,” not for its technical merits (which he admits are “neat, if slightly unhinged”) but for the way it threatens to turn Bitcoin’s governance into a game of Russian roulette with the network itself.

by

Banco Braza, a Brazilian foreign exchange bank, has launched its Brazilian real-backed stablecoin, BBRL, on the Polygon blockchain. The development was shared on X by Sandeep Nailwal, who referenced how Polygon is increasingly being used for payments and on-chain movement of money.

ARC Raiders’ Newest Location Is Filled With High-Value Loot, But There’s a Catch

by

The recent ‘Shrouded Sky’ update for ARC Raiders added a lot of new content, but also included several balance changes and nerfs that players aren’t pleased with. While the developers at Embark did reduce the power of commonly used weapons like the Kettle and Stitcher to bring them in line with stronger guns like the Bobcat, fans are confused by other changes. Specifically, crafting requirements for items like Deadlines and Wolfpacks have been increased, which many players feel was an unnecessary adjustment.
