🚀 Monero Enhances Privacy with Major Upgrade
#Monero #Privacy #Upgrade #SpyNodes #P2P #StealthAddress #RingSignatures #RingCT #ConfidentialTransactions
According to BlockBeats, Monero, a privacy-focused blockchain, has released a significant upgrade aimed at bolstering user protection against 'spy nodes.' Monero operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) network, where nodes (computers) connect directly to share and verify transactions and blocks.
Monero's privacy features are supported by several key technologies. Each transaction utilizes a unique stealth address to ensure the recipient's real address remains undisclosed. Ring signatures blend the sender's transaction with other virtual transactions, making it difficult to identify the actual sender of funds. Additionally, ring confidential transactions conceal the transaction amount, further enhancing privacy.#Monero #Privacy #Upgrade #SpyNodes #P2P #StealthAddress #RingSignatures #RingCT #ConfidentialTransactions

#Binance #P2P #MerchantProtectionPlan #MENA #SouthAsia #USDT #compensation #chargebacks #bankfreeze
According to the announcement from Binance, the platform has unveiled the Binance P2P Merchant Protection Plan, targeting new and existing merchants in selected MENA and South Asia countries. This initiative aims to provide a secure trading environment and enhance protection for merchants engaging in peer-to-peer transactions. The promotion period for this plan is set from 2025-10-16 00:00 (UTC) to 2025-12-31 23:59 (UTC).
New merchants joining Binance P2P during the promotion period will automatically qualify for the Merchant Protection Plan without needing a minimum trading volume or order count. This plan offers compensation for chargebacks or bank freezes, ensuring financial protection for affected orders. Existing merchants can also benefit from this plan if they meet the weekly threshold of at least 200 orders and a trading volume of $75,000. Compensation is capped at $500 per affected order, with additional compensation available for ad bidding orders and Gold/Pro/Shield merchants.
To qualify for compensation, merchants must submit a compensation application within 30 days after order completion and meet at least two of the following conditions: confirmation from judicial authorities that the merchant’s bank account is frozen for more than 15 days, issuance of documents to Binance P2P to retrieve the buyer’s order record, or suspension of the merchant’s bank account from receiving payments exclusively for Binance P2P trades for the past 90 days. Compensation will be paid in USDT token vouchers, based on the order amount that caused the freeze or chargeback. However, certain scenarios, such as account freezes before the plan's launch or violations of Binance policies, are not eligible for compensation.#Binance #P2P #MerchantProtectionPlan #MENA #SouthAsia #USDT #compensation #chargebacks #bankfreeze

#BitcoinCore #SecurityAudit #Quarkslab #OSTIF #OpenSource #P2P #BlockValidation #BitcoinNetwork #Cplusplus #Security #FuzzTesting #TransactionValidation #DenialOfService #BitcoinDevelopment #BTC
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

🚀 FATF Highlights Stablecoin Risks in Latest Report
#FATF #stablecoins #moneylaundering #cryptocurrency #P2P #unhostedwallets #illegalcrypto #cryptoassets #Tether #USDC #crossbordertransfers #blockchainanalysis #AML #cybercrime #NorthKorea #Iran #BTC
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has identified peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers of stablecoins as a significant money laundering risk within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. According to BlockBeats, the report emphasizes the challenges in tracking and regulating these activities, especially when users trade directly through unhosted wallets without regulated intermediaries.
Stablecoins have become the most frequently used virtual assets in illegal crypto transactions, as stated by FATF. Chainalysis data indicates that by 2025, approximately $154 billion in illegal crypto transactions will involve stablecoins, accounting for about 84% of such activities.
The report recommends that jurisdictions require stablecoin issuers to have the technical capability to freeze, destroy, or blacklist assets linked to suspicious addresses when necessary. It also suggests embedding compliance features like allow-lists and deny-lists within smart contracts.
FATF notes that stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) are increasingly used by criminal networks for money transfers and laundering due to their price stability, high liquidity, and ease of cross-border transfer, compared to more volatile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Additionally, the report mentions that North Korean hacker groups and entities linked to Iran are using stablecoins to launder proceeds from cybercrime, converting funds into fiat currency through over-the-counter traders or P2P platforms. FATF calls for enhanced regulation of stablecoin issuers and encourages the broader adoption of blockchain analysis tools and anti-money laundering measures like the "travel rule" within the crypto industry.#FATF #stablecoins #moneylaundering #cryptocurrency #P2P #unhostedwallets #illegalcrypto #cryptoassets #Tether #USDC #crossbordertransfers #blockchainanalysis #AML #cybercrime #NorthKorea #Iran #BTC
