Formally Proving Security Against Side-Channel Attacks
A new machine-checked proof establishes a universal foundation for verifying the resilience of post-quantum cryptographic hardware against side-channel analysis.

This 101-minute opus, unveiled with great fanfare this Wednesday, is the fruit of a four-year odyssey led by the indefatigable William D. Cohan, a journalist of no small repute, and Tyler Maroney, a private investigator whose name sounds like it was plucked from a Dickensian novel. Together, they have crafted a film that aspires to be both an investigative thriller and a human portrait-a lofty ambition, though one wonders if it does not aim to be two things at once and thus risks being neither.

In a twist worthy of a Russian novel, Chinese crypto titan Li Lin is orchestrating the migration of his private trading empire into the public sphere, specifically into the arms of Bitfire, a Hong Kong-listed wealth manager where he holds court as the largest shareholder. One might wonder if this is a strategic masterstroke or merely a billionaire’s whimsy, as predictable as a chess grandmaster’s opening move.

Similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum, Dogecoin’s price has begun to rise, starting from around $0.0925. It has already broken through resistance levels at $0.0935 and $0.0942.
Sun, who has never shied from declaring his devotion to a former U.S. president, saw a token, WLFI, as a way to let the nation find its new crypto rhythm. He expected the same gratitude with which he had brought his own hashtags to the world. Instead, the token was sealed behind a newly‑created blacklist, a function that had none of the original contract’s armaments. By the time the token was tradable, the sun‑burned piece was locked, and a monstrous 95 percent toll was laid on the sale proceeds, siphoned straight to the table of insiders.
Ah, the crypto world-a theater of the grotesque, where fortunes rise and fall with the whims of the digital gods. Justin Sun, the self-proclaimed savior of decentralized finance and ardent admirer of Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly policies, has now found himself entangled in a legal quagmire. He has filed a lawsuit against World Liberty Financial, alleging that his WLFI tokens were frozen without cause, his governance rights usurped, and his dignity trampled upon like a forgotten whitepaper. The crypto community, ever hungry for spectacle, has turned its gaze upon this farce, as if it were a grand tragedy unfolding on the blockchain.

Our analysis of Binance addresses breaks them down into three groups: those building up their holdings, large investors (often called ‘whales’) using stablecoins, and those simply depositing funds. Currently, the trend among these groups is particularly positive. We’ve identified 2,434 addresses actively accumulating assets, surpassing the number of stablecoin whale addresses, which stands at 2,410.

Key Takeaways (because we know you’re busy):

This held true for 11 Bit Studios’ recent report. The Polish game developer highlighted its strong financial position and announced it’s currently working on four major projects.
