Octane just discovered a bug securing $300B in value 🤯 Octane is hardening Ethereum
1/ Octane’s AI found a high-severity liveness bug in the @Nethermind execution client that could have stopped local block production for 38% of @ethereum mainnet validators. This bug was patched via the @ethereumfndn bug bounty program, with no exploitation observed.

The average L1 blockchain takes 2-4 years to reach production-grade performance. They fail because of slow process and old-fashion infrastructure. Performance bottlenecks that can halt entire ecosystems.

Octane's AI just won one of the biggest contests in blockchain history (largest unconditional pot ever), placing first out of 1,600 SRs We caught 3/4 high-severity findings while working with a novel Rust and C++ codebase Octane secures crypto’s critical infra
Congrats @code4rena wardens for some impressive findings in our recent $500,000 competitive audit Thank you for helping secure the Monad codebase!

1) One year after I published our first onchain payments market map, I'm excited to share our updated landscape! The overall number of companies has increased from 282 to 482! Not all of these companies are new - some have integrated cryptorails and many I simply missed!
1) Fun fact: there are ~280 payment companies today building on cryptorails (!) I've written a piece explaining the current financial system, major use cases for cryptorails, adoption challenges they're facing, and what the future might look like. https://t.co/KrWyVBQ7CT

Super excited to announce that our proposal to bring AI-powered security analysis to 30 @arbitrum projects has been approved via the Questbook grant process. @ArbitrumDevs, DM me if you want to get access to our comprehensive scans and CI/CD integration.
Arbitrum's $10M audit program is a big step in the right direction, but it leaves critical gaps unresolved. Our proposal tackles those issues and expands access to security coverage across the entire Arbitrum ecosystem, raising the baseline for everyone https://t.co/l6wQS7FSGO

Octane fixes this. AI optimizes reviewers' attention allocation by catching the bugs – large and small, simple and complex – that eat up expensive audit time. Make your auditors' lives easier: use Octane.
Web3 developers, you currently have all these AI tools at your disposal. From now on, you have no excuse to submit untested (or partially tested) code for a security audit, period The days of security auditors being okay receiving untested code should be over soon🫡

We're thrilled to finally reveal: oct0pwn is Octane 10% of the year has passed and we're still at the top of the 2026 @immunefi leaderboard. And #4 in the last 90 days behind three truly elite auditors. Is this the first time an AI has held top spot?
His first paid report was $300. His second paid report was $100,000. This is how legends are made. Welcome to the security researcher community, oct0pwn.

A quick update on ENSv2: we have made the decision to deploy ENSv2 exclusively on Ethereum L1 and to cease development of Namechain. To be clear, ENSv2 will still ship. The only thing that’s changed is that instead of deploying ENSv2 on our own L2 stack, it will be deployed on

It's a good decision! ENS names and records are a form of state that is central to the Ethereum ecosystem, the state is limited in size and there is high value in it being as accessible as possible from anywhere. It's also a semi-financial application, in the sense that buying
