🖥 Arthur Hayes proposed creating a global market for AI computing power, where graphics card owners could sell resources for FLOP tokens, and companies and AI agents — buy them at market price.

In his new article he also described futures on computing costs — companies could protect themselves from price increases, and traders — profit from their fluctuations, even without being related to AI.

In the long run, Hayes wants to make Flop Network a global benchmark for computing costs, and FLOP — one of the main currencies for settlements between AI agents.

☠️ Hackers have learned to substitute crypto addresses directly on exchange websites — specialists discovered malicious code in the pluggable Udesk technical support system, which can stealthily replace deposit addresses and steal user data.

Moreover, attackers don't even need to hack the website itself — it's enough to compromise a third-party service.

⚛️ Cosmos is in trouble again — Akash Network is going to move to Solana, the migration is already supported by over 98% of voting participants, which will end on November 2.

Meanwhile, in Solana they are calling on projects to leave "dying blockchains."

For Cosmos, which has for years promoted the idea of separate networks for each project, Akash's departure looks particularly painful. It seems that maintaining one's own blockchain for independence is becoming an increasingly less attractive idea.

🇧🇾 Russia and Belarus agreed on tax breaks for cryptocurrencies — The State Duma of the Russian Federation ratified the agreement, securing VAT exemption for mining and sale of cryptocurrencies in Russia, as well as token operations in Belarus.
