4. Mixin founder Feng Xiaodong: Compensation ratios for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ERC-20 USDT are 90%, 30%, and 10% respectively
Mixin founder Feng Xiaodong stated in Mixin Messenger that the main stolen assets in this attack were Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ERC-20 format USDT, with compensation ratios for users as follows: Bitcoin (90%), Ethereum (30%), ERC-20 format USDT (10%).
Feng Xiaodong mentioned that teams of other currencies are prepared to use existing funds and borrow to purchase corresponding assets for 100% compensation. For the three types of tokens with the largest amount stolen, the compensation will be calculated as the USD bond equivalent of the stolen day's token price, with priority given to compensating victims of ERC-20 USDT.
Additionally, Feng Xiaodong stated that the previous estimate of a $200 million loss was due to the difficulty of statistics and asset recovery in Mixin, a system designed primarily for privacy and decentralization, making it impossible to fully determine the loss, and only a portion of the lost assets has been recovered.

8. Blocknative stops MEV-boost service due to economic concerns, raising concerns about centralization of Ethereum relayers
According to Blockworks, Ethereum infrastructure service provider Blocknative will stop its MEV-boost relay service due to the inability to sustain economic benefits. With Blocknative's decision to stop its MEV-boost relay service, concerns about increased centralization of the Ethereum network have intensified. Recent data shows that 93% of Ethereum blocks created in the past 14 days used MEV-boost, and five entities are responsible for 98% of MEV-boosted transactions.
Currently, only four relayers remain active on the network, and these relayers play a crucial role in transaction settlement on Ethereum. The remaining four relayers do not charge service fees, which makes the core part of Ethereum's infrastructure no longer profitable for its operators. If the economic incentive issue is not resolved, the centralization problem of relayers may further intensify. (Source link)

"What are some great articles to read in the past 24 hours?"
1. "Why is Binance eager to sell its Russian business to a newly launched exchange?"
Binance's choice of the buyer for its Russian business, CommEX, is a crypto exchange that was officially launched on September 26th, and its social platform X account, Telegram community, etc., were all registered around September 25th.
Binance's decision to sell its business in the Russian region to what appears to be a newly established exchange has raised questions from the public, especially Binance users in the Russian region. Can a new exchange guarantee the safety of assets and accommodate the trading depth for Binance users in the Russian region? But more voices point to "CommEX being a front for Binance's Russian business."
From Wall Street to the crypto circle, from a Bitcoin purist to the Chair of the Solana Foundation, which transformation is more significant?
Amid the turmoil in the market last year, and the change in regulatory direction for the entire market, Lily Liu decided to increase investment in the Chinese-speaking region and the Asia-Pacific market at the right time. Solana has also taken a different pace this year. Foresight News had the privilege of interviewing Lily Liu on September 10, 2023, and has compiled the interview transcript for readers.

4. "Exploring the Potential of RWA: The Next Large-Scale Application Race after Stablecoins?"
Looking ahead, the development of RWA lays the foundation for innovative changes in the financial sector. In terms of asset selection, RWA will initially start with standardized assets such as US Treasury bonds, US bond ETFs, gold, REITs, and high-grade corporate bonds, which have mature trading mechanisms and high liquidity, providing a solid foundation for RWA. With technological advancements and market maturity, we expect RWA to gradually expand to non-standardized assets such as art, real estate, and private equity, which will require more innovative ideas and solutions, including the design of complex evaluation mechanisms and risk management strategies, and also depend on the gradual improvement of regulatory and compliance frameworks.
Overall, RWA is highly likely to become an important race track for achieving large-scale applications after stablecoins, and for driving the integration of DeFi and TradFi.
