The Solana Foundation stated that its core development team Anza has reached an agreement with Firedancer, a subsidiary of Jump Crypto, on a potential post-quantum solution, planning to introduce a new digital signature scheme called Falcon.Although the threat of quantum computing is not expected to materialize for several years, Solana has developed a phased upgrade roadmap. This plan includes ongoing research into Falcon and other alternatives, introducing post-quantum solutions for new wallets when necessary, and ultimately completing the migration of existing wallets. Currently, the quantum-resistant primitive Winternitz Vault, developed by Blueshift, has been running on Solana for over two years. The Solana Foundation stated that the network's high-speed, low-latency design can accommodate such solutions, and the migration is not expected to have a significant impact on performance.

Circle Ventures, Consensys, and Joseph Lubin announced their support for the DeFi United initiative, aimed at mitigating the losses caused by the Kelp DAO vulnerability. Circle Ventures is supporting the ecosystem by purchasing AAVE tokens. Consensys and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin confirmed that they will provide 30,000 ETH to DeFi United. Currently, DeFi United has raised over 132,000 ETH, with a total value exceeding 300 million dollars.The related funds will be used to compensate for the bad debts caused by attackers minting uncollateralized rsETH through the LayerZero bridge and borrowing assets on Aave. Previously, Aave proposed to donate 25,000 ETH, while Lido DAO, Ether.fi, and Kelp also proposed or committed to donate 2,500 ETH, 5,000 ETH, and 2,000 ETH, respectively.

The Avalanche Foundation stated on platform X that it supports DeFi United. This is a coordinated action aimed at restoring rsETH collateral support. DeFi is undergoing public stress testing, with transparent accounting and real accountability, while traditional financial systems often take months or years to complete such repairs.The Avalanche Foundation expressed support for Aave and the broader DeFi ecosystem.

Solana's official article on the potential impact of quantum computing on blockchain reiterates that the quantum threat is still years away, but the Solana ecosystem has already conducted thorough research and technical preparations in advance.The independent verification client development teams Anza and Firedancer (which together represent a large portion of the network's staking share) have unanimously concluded after independent research that a compact signature scheme suitable for high-throughput blockchains is needed, and they have jointly selected the Falcon scheme. Both parties have published their initial implementation code on GitHub.In addition, the Solana Winternitz Vault developed by Blueshift has been operational in the ecosystem for over two years, providing a direct quantum-resistant path. Earlier this year, Google Quantum AI listed this Vault as a leading example of forward-looking post-quantum work in its white paper.Solana's current quantum roadmap includes ongoing quantum research and evaluation of Falcon and alternative solutions; adopting post-quantum solutions for new wallets when quantum becomes a credible threat; and migrating existing wallets to the selected solution. The official statement indicates that the migration work is manageable and can be completed quickly when the time comes, with network performance expected to remain largely unaffected.

According to Jinshi reports, Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle stated that the path for Kevin Warsh to become the chairman of the Federal Reserve has become clear, but changes in leadership may not immediately alter the Fed's policy stance in the coming months. He pointed out that the new chairman may not be able to advocate for rate cuts as forcefully as Powell, especially given the high uncertainty surrounding the war in the Middle East. Goldman Sachs still believes that easing policies will be introduced before the end of the year, expecting the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points in September and December, respectively.

Bitget officially launched the "Blockchain4Youth Learning Center" with its first course, aimed at providing a systematic blockchain learning path for young people and further connecting knowledge learning with career development. After completing the course and passing the assessment, students will receive a certificate of completion issued by Bitget's Chief Marketing Officer Ignacio Aguirre Franco, serving as an official certification of their Web3 capabilities. Certificate holders can gain more industry exposure and priority employment opportunities among the partner employers of the Blockchain4Youth Talent Alliance.To bridge the gap from learning to employment, Bitget has partnered with the Web3 recruitment platform Bondex to provide students with a transparent job-seeking channel and a talent pool connection mechanism. Bondex co-founder Ignacio Palomera stated that the project aims to address the real issues faced by learners, such as "lack of industry connections after completing the course, insufficient effective certification, and unclear job-seeking paths," building a more direct bridge between young talent and recruiting companies.So far, the Bitget Blockchain4Youth series of projects has attracted over 15,000 young participants. Bitget CMO Ignacio Aguirre Franco pointed out that the goal of the learning center is to transform young people's interest in Web3 into a tangible entry path. As the program continues to advance, Blockchain4Youth is gradually evolving from a single event project into a long-term infrastructure focused on Web3 education, career guidance, and talent development.
