- 08:36Kaia v2.1.0 is live, supporting MEV Auction and multiple optimizationsChainCatcher news, Kaia v2.1.0 is now live. This update focuses on supporting MEV Auction (KIP-249), improving API and storage performance, and does not require a hard fork. The new version allows receiving BidTx, and external auctioneers can deliver winners via websocket connection (auction namespace). It is recommended to enable websocket and restrict access (preferably using a firewall or allowlist). For full nodes, LevelDB now enables snappy compression by default. Users can reclaim disk space by compressing the chain database, but this process is time-consuming and increases I/O load. For archive nodes, an experimental FlatTrie feature has been added, which can be implemented using Erigon-style state layout. However, it requires resynchronization and some features are temporarily unavailable (such as eth_getProof, real-time pruning, and rollback). In addition, v2.1.0 introduces support for RocksDB, RPC block parameters "safe" and "finalized", EIP-7702 verification mechanism, as well as more granular compression controls and performance and stability optimizations.
- 08:35The Fed's balance sheet reduction is nearing its end, with signs of stress emerging in the money marketBlockBeats News, October 28 — The Federal Reserve is expected to end its three-year quantitative tightening phase this week, easing pressure on banks amid concerns over excessively tight funding in the money markets. Earlier this month, some bank lenders tapped the Federal Reserve's backstop funding facility, reaching levels seen during the pandemic. Policymakers will discuss this on Tuesday. Since launching the quantitative tightening program in June 2022, the Federal Reserve has allowed over $2 trillion worth of U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities to roll off its balance sheet, resulting in tighter financing conditions. Krishna Guha, Vice Chairman of Evercore ISI, stated: "The market has basically reached a consensus that the Federal Reserve will end quantitative tightening this month." Richard Clarida, current Director at Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) and former Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve, pointed out: "This will be a very close decision. But even without a formal resolution, we will receive a strong signal that the Federal Reserve will end quantitative tightening in December." (Golden Ten Data)
