The Over Foundation has announced the sunset of Over Protocol, citing financial constraints and the discontinuation of its core infrastructure and services.

Operations for OverWallet, OverNode, OverFlex, RPC endpoints, block explorer, and APIs have been shut down, with no plans for restoration. 

While Over Protocol remains a decentralized Layer 1 network by design, the loss of foundation-operated infrastructure makes continued chain activity unlikely in practice.

Future block production now depends entirely on independent validators running the open client software, but the Foundation stated it cannot direct or guarantee continued network operation.

Fraction AI has introduced Index, a platform for building and deploying AI agents for perpetual futures trading, allowing strategies to be created, tested, and executed without traditional development infrastructure.

The system structures trading logic across parameters such as entries, exits, leverage, position sizing, and risk controls, then runs historical backtesting to evaluate performance across different market conditions and identify weaknesses in execution.

Index also supports an iterative optimization process, where strategy variants are compared, refined, and improved over time before being deployed into live markets.

The product targets traders and operators seeking systematic execution and strategy automation.

Backed by $25M commitment from Nimbus Capital, REAL is targeting institutional adoption with compliant infrastructure for issuing, managing, and settling tokenized assets onchain. The team aims to bring up to $500M in RWAs onchain within its first year.

REAL is an RWA focused Layer 1 ecosystem, building compliant infrastructure for institutions to issue, manage & settle assets while bridging traditional finance with decentralized systems.

Mining Development Kit (MDK) is an open-source, full-stack development framework that gives Bitcoin mining operators and developers unified control over their entire infrastructure stack. 

The framework combines a JavaScript backend SDK with a React UI component library, allowing operators to build dashboards, automation tools and analytics pipelines without relying on closed vendor software.

Printr is an omnichain token launchpad, backed by Bybit Venture Studio that lets users create, trade & manage tokens across multiple chains from one interface, without coding.

PRINT Token Details

– Maximum Supply: 100,000,000 PRINT

– Community Sale: 4,000,000 PRINT, 4% of total supply

– Chain: Solana

– Sale FDV: $50M

– Token Unlock: 100% unlocked at TGE

Led by Aave, dozens of DeFi protocols contributed funds to the DeFi United initiative to mitigate the wider industry impact, raising over $300M in ETH. The restoration process involves converting ETH into rsETH in tranches, which will then be transferred to the affected lockbox contract, allowing the bridge to securely resume operation.

A key concern is that deployment of the restoration plan is contingent on finalizing agreements and obtaining governance approvals, during which the attacker could attempt to interfere.

Telegram has launched Managed Bots, a feature enabling users to create and manage AI-powered agents inside Telegram without coding.

ℹ️ What’s new here:

- Manager bots now generate and control multiple user-owned agents

- Developers now have API access to manage spawned bots

- Bots can now interact with each other to coordinate tasks

- Agent-based workflows become possible inside Telegram

- Scalable deployment from one bot to many agents

Users can create an AI agent via a shareable link, confirm its name and username, and launch it instantly. The process removes the need for BotFather commands, token handling, or server setup for basic use cases.

Western Union plans to launch its Solana-based stablecoin USDPT next month for agent settlement, positioning it as an onchain alternative to SWIFT rather than a consumer product.

USDPT will roll out in select markets, enabling faster settlement and operation beyond banking hours while integrating with the company’s existing global agent network.

The company is also launching the Digital Asset Network (DAN) to connect crypto wallets with its retail infrastructure, allowing conversion into local currency through agents.

A Stable Card is planned to enable global spending and stablecoin balances, targeting demand for dollar-denominated value in inflation-sensitive markets.

Independent researcher Giancarlo Lelli received 1 BTC “Q-Day Prize” for successfully breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve cryptographic key using publicly accessible quantum hardware, marking the largest public demonstration of a quantum attack on ECC to date.

The result represents a 512x improvement over previous public demonstrations, signaling that the technical barriers to such attacks are gradually decreasing.

However, the demonstrated attack targeted a simplified 15-bit key, far below the 256-bit cryptography used in real-world systems, indicating that threats to live networks remain distant for now.
