Starkware
The team behind the layer 2 Starknet blockchain said that they will also hold a code review on Aug. 31 at a conference in San Francisco.
The Paradex decentralized perpetuals platform is backed by StarkWare's new appchain technology.
The announcement is part of a growing trend in Ethereum’s layer-2 ecosystem, where developers can create application-specific chains using the blockchain’s native software stack.
The upgrade for Starknet, a layer-2 blockchain or "rollup" to the Ethereum blockchain, went live following a community vote that overwhelmingly agreed to deploy it to mainnet.
The upgrade will increase the number of transactions per second the blockchain can handle as well as reduce the time-to-inclusion.
Storage proofs, a feature that could minimize cross-chain exploits by allowing users to keep their assets on one chain and prove that it's there on a different chain, will go live on Starknet soon.

The executive will help the non-profit promote growth within the Starknet ecosystem.

- 03:48Hyperliquid: Deploying HIP-3, MVP Version Now Live on TestnetAccording to a report by Jinse Finance, Hyperliquid announced on the X platform that the protocol will support the deployment of HIP-3, with the MVP version already launched on the testnet. This proposal involves features related to the perpetual market, including: 1. Deploying a new high-performance on-chain order book on HyperCore; 2. Deploying gas fees paid every 31 hours through a Dutch auction; 3. Deployers can set a fee share of up to 50%. Hyperliquid also stated that perpetual market deployers must maintain a stake of 1 million HYPE. If malicious market operations occur, validators have the right to conduct stake-weighted voting in the deployer's 7-day redemption queue, significantly slashing the deployer's stake, Additionally, the related deployment will be combined with HyperCore's multi-signature to support protocolized market deployment and operation. Technical details will soon be released in the API documentation and Python SDK.
- 03:44Analyst: Suspected AIOT Whale Address Accumulates Small Positions Again and Adjusts LP, AIOT Contract Shows Negative Funding Rate for the First TimeChainCatcher reports that according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), a suspected AIOT whale address has once again made small-scale purchases and adjusted LP. 14 hours ago, this address spent 11.27 BNB to buy 6,734 AIOT (6,734 USD) and withdrew the previously injected bilateral liquidity, raising the range of the single-sided limit sell orders. - A single-sided limit sell order of 930,000 tokens was placed in the range of [1.1906, 1.2097] USD;- A single-sided limit sell order of 1,050,000 tokens was placed in the range of [1.2897, 1.3096] USD;- A single-sided limit sell order of 835,000 tokens was placed in the range of [1.3901, 1.4099] USD. This means the starting price for single-sided liquidity sales has been raised to 1.1906 USD, which is 3.2 times the current price. However, a certain exchange's AIOT contract has shown a negative funding rate for the first time, with an increase in short leverage positions, reminding users to be aware of the risks.
