Odaily reports: A senior Iranian source said that Qatar and Pakistan, acting as mediators, have informed Iran that the United States is ready to negotiate and reach an agreement, and is serious about advancing this process. The source noted that, for its part, Iran is prepared to resume implementing the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding within days, provided the United States returns to it and fulfills its terms. However, Iran demands tangible and credible guarantees that it will not be attacked again. Once the United States implements the substance of the memorandum, including halting hostilities, lifting the blockade, and allowing Iran to export oil, Iran will immediately launch negotiations on the nuclear issue and the lifting of sanctions. Iran has reached a consensus with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz issue; however, as long as the blockade continues and no agreement has been reached with the United States, "Iran will not reopen the strait."

Odaily: Solana shortened its target slot time from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds on Friday, increasing block production frequency by nearly 17%. The computing resources and data volume available per slot are reduced accordingly, while the network's overall transaction processing capacity remains unchanged.
This adjustment is the third of four planned phases in the SIMD-0525 proposal. The window during which validators have block production rights for four consecutive slots has been shortened from 1.2 seconds to 1 second, and the estimated duration of an Epoch, fixed at 432,000 slots, has been reduced from about 36 hours to about 30 hours.
The next phase plans to further reduce slot time to 200 milliseconds, but a mainnet launch date has not yet been determined, and the implementation condition is that the block skip rate remains stable. (Decrypt)
Odaily Report: According to on-chain detective Specter, the attackers behind this campaign provided so-called arbitrage bot tutorials and code through YouTube videos, and guided victims to use a counterfeit Remix development interface to compile and deploy contracts. The attackers registered ENS names containing "Uniswap" to disguise the related addresses as legitimate incoming fund sources from DeFi activity, leading victims to believe that the deployed arbitrage bot was profiting through Uniswap. After victims injected their own assets into the contracts, the funds were transferred away by the attackers. The attackers currently appear to still be active and hold a substantial portion of the stolen funds in two addresses.
