- Solana bug reports now cost 1 SOL as AI floods security teams with spam
Firedancer, the Solana software developed by Jump Crypto, now requires researchers to permanently burn 1 SOL (about $100) for each bug report; the cost is nonrefundable even if a report is invalid or duplicates an earlier finding, and reports submitted without a burn are ineligible for rewards. The change follows a monthlong $1 million audit competition that drew 809 reports from 162 researchers but produced only 127 unique security findings, with nearly half of valid submissions duplicating earlier reports. Jump believes AI helped discover or write nearly every submission, which slowed engineers' validation work. To offset this, Jump is temporarily doubling payouts, and tripling them for Alpenglow, Solana's new voting system, where critical findings can qualify for up to $300,000.
- VinaCapital investor group cuts Kido stake below 6%
VinaCapital's fund management company reported that Liva Holdings Limited sold 1.9 million KDC shares in the October 22, 2026 session, cutting its stake from 5.16% to 4.47% of Kido's charter capital. Including Vina QSR Limited, which holds over 2.6 million shares (0.95%), the group's combined stake fell from 6.11% to 5.42%. Separately, Kido completed two share transfers in Thực phẩm Đông lạnh Kido (now Nuti KD) and, as of September 18, 2026, held only 14.7% of its charter capital, so Nuti KD is no longer an associate of KDC. Shareholders also approved canceling contracts that transferred 34 trademarks, including Merino and Celano, and Kido will complete procedures to restore ownership of these trademarks to Thực phẩm Đông lạnh Kido.

- Opinion: UK bond investors want spending cuts. John Healey's first Budget may disappoint
An opinion piece says Chancellor John Healey has handled preparation of his first budget with far less rumor than predecessor Rachel Reeves, but major challenges remain. Fiscal headroom has shrunk from £24 billion ($32 billion) to as little as £10 billion because of higher government borrowing costs, while Prime Minister Andy Burnham has made several spending commitments, the latest a £432-million plan to tackle homelessness. Healey must explain how to fund tax cuts, including extended fuel duty relief that could cost over £2 billion, and how to lift defense spending to 3% of GDP by the end of the decade, while tax increases targeting banks and gambling firms remain likely. The Financial Times reported that the National Wealth Fund and British Business Bank will be handed £20.4 billion, a move that exploits a loophole in fiscal rules. National debt has just risen above £3 trillion, and harder decisions on youth unemployment and welfare spending will not be published until later this year.
- Global oil and gas industry expected to spend $7.5 billion on AI, how is FPT taking part?
FPT is applying AI to core oilfield operations, starting with cement plugging of wells, where a services group that had to run up to 17,000 experiments a month now uses an FPT-built model trained on about 9 million cleaned records. The model raised prediction accuracy from about 60% to 79%, averages 1.6 seconds per prediction, and screens out low-probability formulas to reduce physical testing. In safety, FPT and an Asian oil and gas client deployed Vision AI to flag rule violations from site cameras; the company estimates it avoided 15 potentially fatal incidents and 110 injury incidents, about $2.54 million in losses. According to The Business Research Company, the global AI market in oil and gas is expected to reach $4.55 billion in 2026 and $7.51 billion by 2030.
