According to Odaily, the Wormhole Foundation, the development team behind Wormhole, has announced that Google Cloud has become the latest member of its Guardian Network. The Guardian Network is a decentralized group of reputable validator nodes, including RockawayX, P2P, Figment, and Everstake, which play a crucial role in transaction validation. This network is a cornerstone of the Wormhole ecosystem's security and validation technology. By joining as a Guardian node, Google Cloud's infrastructure enhances the decentralized network, ensuring uptime and providing redundancy coverage by immediately backfilling any Guardian that experiences downtime.#GoogleCloud #Wormhole #GuardianNetwork #decentralization #validatornodes #blockchain #security #infrastructure #transactionvalidation

According to Foresight News, Polygon co-founder Jordi Baylina and the team behind Polygon zkEVM have transitioned into an independent company named Zisk. This new venture will focus on developing low-latency, open-source zkVM proof technology. Blockchain verifiers are used to validate transactions or on-chain data without revealing underlying information. Information from Zisk's website indicates that the project was incubated within Polygon Labs in May 2024 and became independent on June 13.
Previously, the Polygon Foundation underwent a leadership restructuring, with co-founder Sandeep Nailwal assuming the role of CEO. Nailwal outlined plans to phase out the zkEVM chain and redirect resources towards Polygon PoS and the Agglayer cross-chain aggregator.#Polygon #Zisk #JordiBaylina #zkEVM #blockchain #openSource #lowLatency #transactionValidation #PolygonLabs #leadershipRestructuring #SandeepNailwal #PolygonPoS #Agglayer

According to PANews, Bitcoin Core has successfully completed its first third-party security audit, confirming the software's maturity and security in safeguarding the Bitcoin network. The audit was conducted by French security firm Quarkslab, commissioned by the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund (OSTIF) and implemented on behalf of Bitcoin Core development funding organization Brink.
The audit spanned 104 days from May to September, focusing on the project's most sensitive components, particularly the P2P layer and block validation logic. Despite the extensive codebase, which includes over 200,000 lines of C++ code and more than 1,200 deployed test cases, auditors found Bitcoin Core to be "highly mature and thoroughly tested."
No high or medium severity vulnerabilities were discovered, only two low severity issues and several improvement suggestions related mainly to fuzz testing tools and test coverage. These findings did not affect the consensus mechanism, denial-of-service resistance, or transaction validation.#BitcoinCore #SecurityAudit #Quarkslab #OSTIF #OpenSource #P2P #BlockValidation #BitcoinNetwork #Cplusplus #Security #FuzzTesting #TransactionValidation #DenialOfService #BitcoinDevelopment #BTC
