On October 2, at 11:30 AM Eastern Time, the Arbitrum Security Committee executed an emergency upgrade on Arbitrum One and Nova, suspending the activation of all new Stylus contracts on both chains, while adding a protective mechanism against BoLD single-step proofs in the dispute system of Arbitrum One. The Arbitrum Foundation stated that this action is part of ongoing proactive security measures aimed at protecting the security and integrity of the network.Stylus allows developers to write smart contracts using languages such as Rust and C++, while maintaining compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, with its programs compiled into WebAssembly format. This suspension primarily targets manually written WASM programs that do not use the standard Stylus compiler toolchain and have not yet been patched by the current version of ArbOS. The Security Committee increased the gas required for activation to the theoretical maximum by calling ArbOwner.setWasmActivationGas(2^64 - 1), making new activations economically unfeasible. Activated Stylus contracts are unaffected and can continue to execute and renew, and the deployment and execution of Solidity contracts are also unrestricted.The newly added BoLD protection allows anyone to pause the settlement from Arbitrum One to Ethereum when two conflicting and accepted answers appear in the same dispute step, which may delay unconfirmed withdrawals to allow the Security Committee to deploy fixes. Officials pointed out that the currently discovered Stylus-related vulnerabilities mainly affect the activity of the chain, such as denial-of-service attacks, and do not jeopardize user funds.

According to Cointelegraph, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and the Wyoming Division of Banking announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to coordinate the regulation of cryptocurrency companies operating in both jurisdictions, covering license approvals, inspections, and potential enforcement actions. This agreement applies to businesses already regulated in either state, as well as companies seeking approval in both locations simultaneously.Under the agreement, the regulatory agencies in both states will share analytical results and historical inspection data to streamline the application process, coordinate inspection timelines, and promote joint inspections of companies operating across state lines. For businesses already regulated in one of the states, holding an existing license or charter for at least three years, and not subject to enforcement actions, the agreement provides an expedited approval pathway, with the second regulatory agency striving to make a decision within six months.The MOU also establishes a mechanism for sharing regulatory reports, market trend data, and notifications of potential enforcement actions, with regulatory agencies regularly sharing investigative information and being able to take joint, coordinated, or separate enforcement actions. This move connects two states that have historically taken different approaches to cryptocurrency regulation: New York has maintained the BitLicense regime since 2015, while Wyoming has accommodated digital asset businesses through cryptocurrency-related laws, regulations, and specialized banking charters.

According to The Block, Base has completed its third mainnet upgrade, Cobalt. The core of this upgrade is the Validity Transactions conditional transaction feature, allowing users to submit transactions with conditions that must be met before they are packaged on-chain; if the conditions are not met, the transaction will never be included.Base stated that this API is part of a neutral infrastructure, allowing advanced traders to keep their submissions confidential before they are finalized.Cobalt also enhances the B20 token standard launched with the Beryl upgrade in June, adding three new features. Composite Policies allow asset issuers to combine existing whitelists and blacklists using "or" and "and" logic, without the need to duplicate lists or maintain off-chain synchronization.The Schedule Multiplier upgrade aligns with the ERC-8056 standard, supporting issuers in changing the display method of asset balances, which can be used in scenarios such as stock splits.Base also revealed plans to shorten block time from 2 seconds to 200 milliseconds in the coming months, implement native smart accounts at the protocol layer, support Gas payment and transaction batching, and introduce some EVM improvements from the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade.

Base has completed the Cobalt upgrade, adding conditional trading and issuer control tools for tokenized assets. This upgrade expands the B20 token standard, allowing issuers to set multiple compliance checks for the same asset, including identity verification, accredited investor status, and sanctions list screening.Issuers can pre-set adjustments for corporate actions such as stock splits, updating the number of shares displayed in wallets and applications without issuing new tokens, burning tokens, or changing the underlying balance. Issuers can also authorize administrators to transfer tokens without the approval of holders and attach public explanations; Base cannot initiate such transfers.Cobalt introduces Validity Transactions, allowing users to set on-chain conditions before submitting transactions, for example, allowing exchanges only if the asset reaches a target price before a specified block deadline. Such transactions can remain private before being included in a block. Base enabled B20 as the native standard for stablecoins and homogenized tokens representing tokenized real-world assets on July 8; Coinbase issued B20 tokens representing stocks of Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Alphabet on Base on August 25.

Former New York Governor and OKX Director Andrew Cuomo stated that if the Democratic Party wins Congress in the midterm elections, the current regulatory progress in the cryptocurrency industry may be overturned. He noted that the ad hoc rules set by regulators are much weaker than legislation and emphasized that "regulation is not legislation."Previously, on September 15, the Senate voted 49 in favor and 50 against to veto the CLARITY Act, which aimed to establish federal rules for the cryptocurrency market, failing to reach the 60-vote threshold; the SEC granted a five-year exemption for tokenized stock trading on September 17. Andrew Cuomo expects the new Congress to closely scrutinize such agency rules and hopes that the lame-duck Congress will pass relevant legislation before January 1 of next year.
