Odaily星球日报讯 以太坊研究人员提出一项新提案，计划重构用于验证者加入网络的存款合约（Deposit Contract），为未来抵御量子计算攻击做好准备。
该提案旨在升级以太坊验证者注册机制，通过增加密码学算法切换功能，使网络未来能够支持抗量子签名方案。目前，以太坊验证者使用 BLS 签名验证交易，而该方案依赖的椭圆曲线密码学理论上可能受到运行 Shor 算法的量子计算机攻击。
存款合约是用户质押 ETH 成为验证者的入口。目前约有 4240 万枚 ETH 处于质押状态，价值约 1040 亿美元，这些资产均由现有 BLS 验证密钥保护。研究人员表示，由于当前合约对 BLS 密钥尺寸进行了硬编码，即使未来社区确定新的抗量子签名标准，以太坊也无法直接支持。
目前，该提案仍处于早期草案阶段，尚未正式编号，部分仓库维护者建议将其编号为 EIP-8394。若获得通过，新版本存款合约将允许不同密码学方案并存，并通过标签机制区分不同签名系统：BLS 签名标记为 0，未来其他抗量子方案可使用新的标记。（CoinDesk）

Odaily Planet Daily News: Saitama founder Manpreet Kohli lost his extradition case in the UK last week, and now faces the prospect of being extradited to the US to stand trial on charges of wire fraud and market manipulation. Kohli was arrested in London in 2024. US prosecutors allege that he and more than a dozen co-conspirators falsely inflated their holdings and purchases of Saitama tokens while secretly selling off their own positions for profits of approximately $20 million. The token once reached a market capitalization of $7.5 billion.
Judge Samuel Goozee dismissed Kohli's objection to extradition on August 19, referring the case to the UK Home Secretary to decide whether to order the extradition. Kohli is currently out on bail of £200,000 and retains the right to appeal. Previously, a federal judge in Boston had already rejected his motion to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that Saitama tokens do not constitute securities. (Reuters)
Odaily News: The Central Bank of Uzbekistan plans to invite some of Wall Street’s top international asset management institutions to discuss potential options for investing the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
Timur Ishmetov, Governor of the Central Bank of Uzbekistan, said in an interview in Tashkent that the central bank plans to hold a roundtable in mid-September, inviting representatives from institutions including Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and JPMorgan to discuss potential investment channels. According to official data, the Central Bank of Uzbekistan’s reserves fell from $66.3 billion at the start of the year to $64.3 billion in July, with gold accounting for 87% of the total.
Data from the World Gold Council shows that in the first half of this year, Uzbekistan made net gold purchases of 41 tons, making it the world’s second-largest gold buyer during the period. “So far, gold has proven to be the best investment,” Ishmetov said. “In principle, we are satisfied with the current situation, but it won’t always be this way—gold prices won’t keep rising forever.” “Our primary goal is not simply to sell gold for profit,” Ishmetov said. However, he also noted that the central bank hopes to sell gold at favorable price levels. He added that the central bank has not yet decided to change its reserve structure, and the meeting with international asset management institutions will not necessarily lead to such a change.
