Ostium has released a design update on the second phase of the compensation plan for liquidity providers (OLP). This plan offers two compensation mechanisms for users who have losses exceeding 1,000 USDC and have not opted for Convenience Allocation:Default Plan A (USDC Installment Payment): Funding sources include recovered and future recovered funds (distributed proportionally after deducting the first phase portion), a specific share of revenue from the Ostium protocol and Gateway (initially 50% of Ostium opening fees), and potential partner incentives or revenue sharing.Optional Plan B (Ostium Labs Equity Conversion): Users who meet securities regulation requirements can convert part of their unrecovered losses into Ostium Labs equity at the valuation of the next round of financing, with the same class of shares as the team, and a total holding percentage for participating users subject to a fully diluted cap.The second phase portal is scheduled to launch on October 30, and eligible users can proportionally claim the allocated funds from Plan A; if they choose equity conversion, the portion of losses converted to equity will no longer be eligible for subsequent installment payments under Plan A, thereby helping to accelerate the repayment process for the remaining unconverted funds.Ostium emphasizes that this compensation plan is voluntarily initiated by the official and does not guarantee the full recovery of lost funds; specific implementation details and parameter scales are still being refined.

The blockchain network Solana plans to reduce the target block time from 250 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds when it enters Epoch 1053 on Friday, completing a series of reductions that began from 400 milliseconds in August.This upgrade will allow the network to produce 5 blocks per second while lowering the computational limit for each block to keep the overall processing capacity roughly unchanged. Faster block generation may reduce transaction delays and transaction arbitrage activities, but it will also increase the demand for validator voting, put pressure on network connections, and shorten the transaction validity window.

Ark Protocol project Second disclosed that its server was exploited on Monday, resulting in a loss of 0.75 Bitcoin of its own funds, approximately $62,300. The team stated that user funds were not affected and repairs were completed within a few hours.The attacker subsequently continued to attempt to extract more funds from the project and launched a denial-of-service attack. Second stated on Tuesday that the attack could lead to a decrease in the ability of wallets based on Bark to receive Lightning Network transfers. Second indicated that the vulnerability occurred in the boarding process of the Ark server, allowing the attacker to register and exit related boards solely with their own signature, while spending the same batch of VTXO in the nodes through the Lightning Network. The attacker also attempted to use Bitcoin related to the security vulnerability of Blink Wallet from September 19, but was unsuccessful.

According to the Economic Daily, citing sources from the semiconductor equipment industry, TSMC plans to expand its manufacturing presence in the United States. Following Arizona, it is set to initiate plans for a second park in the U.S., with a high likelihood of establishing six advanced wafer fabs in Dallas, Texas. Reports indicate that if the second park is launched, the total investment is expected to exceed the $265 billion in Arizona, linking Arizona's wafer manufacturing with Texas's advanced ecosystem. As of September 28, the reporter has not received a response from TSMC; supply chain operators stated that the owner has not yet notified preparations, and the board has not yet made a decision.The total investment in TSMC's wafer fab in Phoenix, Arizona, has now increased to $265 billion, with plans including six wafer fabs, two advanced packaging plants, and a research and development center. Reports suggest that TSMC's considerations for increasing its overseas presence include proximity to customers, diversification of geopolitical risks, and overcoming resource limitations such as land, water, and electricity in Taiwan. U.S. customers accounted for approximately 75.64% of TSMC's revenue in the first half of 2026.There are widespread rumors in the industry that TSMC is responding to demands from customers like NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, and Apple for local production in the U.S., while facing pressure from the U.S. government, which has threatened that chip manufacturers must relocate back to the U.S. or face tariffs of up to 200%. Dallas and North Texas are known as the "Silicon Prairie," with local factories established by Texas Instruments, Coherent, Samsung, and Tesla. Reports indicate that the Arizona facility still faces challenges such as water shortages, power shortages, and labor shortages, while Texas offers talent, lower tax burdens, and stable electricity, leading supply chain operators to believe that site evaluations are nearing completion.
