πŸš€ X Complies With Brazilian Court Order Amid Legal Dispute

According to Odaily, X's legal team stated in a court filing on Friday that the social network has complied with an order to delete accounts accused of spreading misinformation and has met the Supreme Court's requirements regarding fines and the appointment of a new legal representative in Brazil. The Brazilian Supreme Court confirmed this on Saturday but noted that X has yet to submit the necessary documents to advance the case, giving the company five days to do so.

AndrΓ© Zonaro Giacchetta, one of X's new lawyers in Brazil, mentioned that the conditions for X's return to Brazil have been met, but it depends on the Supreme Court's assessment. Elon Musk has publicly declared that X will continue to defy court orders, accusing the judge behind the orders of engaging in political censorship and describing the demands as the most stringent in any country on Earth.

Analysts estimate that around 40 million Brazilians use X at least once a month. X did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and neither Musk nor the social network's global government affairs page made any statements or comments on Saturday.

πŸš€ Microsoft Signs 20-Year Agreement To Restore Three Mile Island Reactor

According to Odaily, Microsoft has entered into a 20-year agreement with Constellation Energy Corporation to restore the Three Mile Island Unit 1 reactor. This initiative aims to establish the Crane Clean Energy Center, part of Microsoft's efforts to power its artificial intelligence operations with carbon-free energy. Constellation Energy will provide Microsoft with 835 megawatts of power and invest approximately $1.6 billion to bring the facility online, with a target completion date in 2028. The agreement is pending approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), state officials, and local authorities.

The Three Mile Island nuclear plant, located near the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, experienced a core meltdown on March 28, 1979. This incident was rated as a Level 5 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale, which ranges from 1 to 7. The Three Mile Island accident remains the most severe nuclear incident in the United States to date. However, it is considered more controllable compared to subsequent nuclear disasters at Chernobyl and Fukushima.

πŸš€ Vitalik Buterin Discusses Rollup-Centric Roadmap and L1 Optimization

According to Odaily, Bankless founder David Hoffman recently stated on X that the rollup-centric roadmap is 'complete' to some extent, citing progress such as the launch of 4844, DA, and cheaper L2 solutions. He emphasized that the primary focus should now shift to optimizing L1. In response, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed a different perspective, suggesting that it is not a matter of prioritization. He noted that the next step for DA is peerdas, and the individuals working on this are largely separate from those improving SSF or EVM execution. Buterin believes it is premature to declare the rollup-centric roadmap as complete, pointing out that current usage is only 1.3 times the peak for full blob data (21600 blobs/day). He stressed the need to initiate peerdas and begin secure scaling while continuing L1 improvements.

Hoffman further argued that increasing L1 block times would also increase blobspace supply, suggesting that focusing on L1 and L2 simultaneously is synergistic, whereas focusing solely on DA benefits only L2. Buterin clarified that if slot times are reduced without altering other variables, the answer is affirmative. However, both limits are determined by bandwidth constraints. He generally views bandwidth and latency as independent issues and believes reducing L1 slot times is worth discussing, though it must be done cautiously to avoid negatively impacting independent and geographically dispersed stakers.

πŸš€ Cards Against Humanity Developer Sues SpaceX Over Alleged Land Trespassing

According to Odaily, the developer of the popular party game 'Cards Against Humanity' has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's SpaceX, accusing the company of illegally trespassing and damaging their property in Texas. The lawsuit, submitted to a state court this week, alleges that for at least the past six months, SpaceX has treated the land in Cameron County as its own. The complaint states that SpaceX, which has acquired other plots near the property, has placed gravel and other construction materials on the land without permission. SpaceX has not yet responded to requests for comment.

The 'Cards Against Humanity' organization purchased the land in 2017 as part of a campaign against former President Donald Trump's proposed border wall, with 150,000 people each donating $15 to support the initiative. The organization claims that the land has remained in its natural state over the years and has a 'No Trespassing' sign to warn against unauthorized entry. The company is seeking $15 million in damages, including compensation for the loss of vegetation on the property.

πŸš€ Ethereum's Performance May Improve By Year-End, Says Bitwise

According to BlockBeats, Bitwise released a report on September 22 indicating that Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has been largely overlooked recently. However, the report suggests that Ethereum's underperformance might reverse as the year comes to a close.

So far this year, Ethereum has shown little change, while Bitcoin has risen by 38% and Solana by 31%. The report attributes Ethereum's recent lackluster performance to risks associated with the upcoming U.S. presidential election in November, increased competition from Solana and other blockchains, challenges in token economics, and mixed reactions to the potential launch of a U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan noted, "Ethereum has the most active developers, the most active users, and a market cap five times larger than its closest competitor." Hougan compared Ethereum to Microsoft in the blockchain sector, stating, "Everyone wants to talk about newer companies and their game-changing technologies like Google, Slack, and Zoom, but Microsoft's scale is still larger than all these companies combined."
