  1. 01Balancer wind-down proposal live. MAXYZ counters with a fork-and-keep-building play. Watch BAL governance and the LP exodus
  2. 02Kaspa L1 exploit funds reportedly traced to a Bybit hot wallet. Team hunting for a compliance contact, freeze odds in…
  3. 03WSJ runs 'crypto blew its big moment' piece. Mainstream blame-game cycle has started, a classic late-cycle tell
  4. 04RSA-896 factoring claim hijacked the chat. Classic GPU sieve, no quantum. RSA-1024 pegged near $15m to crack
  5. 05Correction making rounds: RSA-2048 is 35B times harder, not $35B. 2048 is fine for now. FUD overshot
  6. 06BTC and ETH run on ECDSA, not RSA. Crypto exposure is RSA-based ZK and blind-sig apps, not the base layer
  7. 07Onchain RSA is capped by the modexp precompile. Devs say ~1024-bit is the practical ceiling, EIP-7823 debated
  8. 08Next unlock is an order-of-magnitude algo gain, not quantum. Security folks now say RSA is 'robust but not secure'
