According to BlockBeats, on August 10th, based on BIT (bit.com) market data, the US optical communications sector generally declined, including:

Corning fell 1.22%, Nokia fell 1.14%, AAOI fell 2.26%, LITE fell 5.54%, MRVL fell 0.14%, and POET fell 2.19%.

According to BlockBeats, on August 10th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin updated his 2023 roadmap and compared it with the current "Strawmap". He stated that there is significant overlap between the two, but the priorities and design schemes for some technical directions have changed.

Vitalik points out that some directions have been reordered, such as the increased importance of quantum security technologies; while other directions have been de-prioritized, including VDF (Verifiable Delay Function) and a large number of EVM improvement schemes; at the same time, some old schemes have been replaced by better designs, such as the evolution of Verkle trees into unified BT (Binary Tree) and then into PBT (Protobuf Binary Tree), and state expiry has been replaced by new state type designs.

He stated that the most significant change is the emergence of many new directions in the current Strawmap that were not included in the 2023 roadmap, reflecting a shift in focus for Ethereum's future development, including:

Strengthening privacy capabilities: Ethereum will place greater emphasis on native privacy support, involving solutions such as Keyed Nonces, Recent Roots, FOCIL-related designs, Lean Privacy Pool, and Wormholes.

Post-quantum scaling solutions include technologies such as LeanSPHINCS signatures, signature aggregation, and zkzk frames to achieve high-performance scaling in quantum-safe environments.

Leanification: This simplifies protocol design, facilitating formal verification. Vitalik believes that formal verification of the entire protocol becomes feasible only with the help of modern AI tools.

Blob and Gas futures mechanisms: This direction, which did not appear in the 2023 roadmap, is now an important exploration of the Ethereum economic model.

Native Rollups: As SNARK technology matures, Ethereum is beginning to consider integrating Rollup capabilities more deeply into the protocol layer.

Exploring the future form of EVM: Vitalik said that in the future, Ethereum may no longer be limited to EVM, but will introduce a simpler and more efficient instruction set architecture (ISA), such as LeanISA or RISC-V, and let EVM serve as an intermediate representation layer (IR) on top of it.

Vitalik emphasized that Ethereum's future scaling direction is shifting: rather than trying to maximize the capacity of all types of activities, Ethereum is more inclined to design dedicated mechanisms for different scenarios, improving overall scaling efficiency while meeting the high-load demands of token transfers, transactions, and future privacy applications.

He stated that in the future, Ethereum will build a security foundation around technologies such as STARK proofs and AI-assisted formal verification, and will continue to advance its goals of quantum security, user privacy protection, censorship resistance, and high-performance scaling.

Vitalik concluded: "Ethereum will achieve quantum security, prioritize user privacy, remain secure and censorship-resistant, and achieve high performance and scalability while meeting these goals."

According to BlockBeats, on August 10, the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb announced that due to maintenance of the Data Network (DATA) wallet system, the deposit and withdrawal functions for related virtual assets will be temporarily suspended to ensure the stable operation of deposit and withdrawal services.

The suspension affects Data Network (DATA) and Aria Protocol (ARIAIP), with ARIAIP being a virtual asset that only supports withdrawals. The suspended network is Data Network, and the suspension is expected to take effect on August 10, 2026 at 23:40 (Korean Standard Time).

Bithumb stated that deposit and withdrawal services will resume once network stability is confirmed, with the specific resumption time to be announced later. Trading functions will remain unaffected during the suspension, but the exchange reminds users to be aware of potential significant market volatility during this period.

For withdrawal requests submitted before the suspension but not yet processed, as well as deposit transactions generated during the suspension period, Bithumb will process them sequentially and reflect them to user accounts after service is restored.
