The Long-awaited Major Update for BNB Has Arrived! Here's What's Changed

This article explains how distributed systems maintain trust and consistency using gossip-based replication, partial and multi-signature proofs, and M-of-N network connections. The gossip protocol ensures efficient data sharing among peers without redundancy. Proof of correctness validates signatures mathematically, while multi-signatures aggregate trust across nodes. Finally, M-of-N networking reduces overhead while preserving consensus guarantees. Together, these mechanisms form the backbone of scalable, resilient, and secure decentralized systems.

Looking at the data on failed startups, the same pattern is repeated: finances are the breaking point. Many first-time founders underestimate how quickly costs spiral, and they often learn the lesson the hard way. Here are the most common mistakes made when establishing lean practices.

PANews reported on October 2 that according to Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the assets under management (AUM) of BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has reached US$90.7 billion, ranking among the top 20 of all ETFs in the world for the first time. Farside data shows that all US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $676 million yesterday (October 1). Among them, IBIT led the way with a single-day net inflow of $405.5 million, the largest single-day inflow since August 14. The massive inflow of funds into ETFs coincided with a rise in the price of Bitcoin, which rose 4% yesterday, briefly topping $119,000.
