🚀 UK Businesses Plan Price Hikes Amid Rising Energy Costs, Survey Shows
#UK #Business #PriceHikes #EnergyCosts #Inflation #BankOfEngland #EconomicGrowth #Employment #MiddleEastConflict
According to Jin10, a survey by the Bank of England reveals that UK businesses are planning significant price increases due to soaring energy costs triggered by Middle East conflicts. In March, surveyed companies indicated plans to raise prices by 3.7% over the next year, up from 3.4% the previous month, marking the highest level since October last year. Businesses also expect overall consumer prices to rise by 3.5%, compared to a 3% forecast in February. These figures suggest mounting inflationary pressures following energy price surges caused by US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Bank of England policymakers are weighing the risks of second-round effects against threats to economic growth and employment. Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey stated in an interview on Wednesday that he believes businesses have limited ability to pass on higher costs. The survey also shows a 0.1 percentage point drop in wage expectations to 3.4%, the lowest since the Bank of England began collecting this data in 2022, while employment plans continue to deteriorate.#UK #Business #PriceHikes #EnergyCosts #Inflation #BankOfEngland #EconomicGrowth #Employment #MiddleEastConflict

🚀 Ethereum Hardware Wallet Integration Advances with ZKNox
#Ethereum #HardwareWallet #ZKNox #AccountAbstraction #QuantumResistant #FalconSignature #EVM #BlockchainSecurity #ZeroKnowledgeProof #CryptoInnovation #Layer2 #DigitalIdentity
Nicolas Bacca, founder of the Ethereum Foundation-supported research institution ZKNox and former Ledger co-founder and CTO, discussed advancements in hardware wallet integration with Ethereum at the EthCC[9] conference. According to Foresight News, Bacca highlighted the challenges hardware wallets face in fully supporting advanced features brought by account abstraction due to the Ethereum Virtual Machine's (EVM) lack of native support for certain efficient cryptographic signatures and complex verification logic.
ZKNox has significantly reduced the on-chain verification cost of the quantum-resistant Falcon signature scheme from 24 million Gas to 2 million Gas, enhancing efficiency by approximately 12 times. This improvement brings the transaction cost of post-quantum secure signatures generated by hardware wallets closer to that of regular transactions. Additionally, ZKNox is developing a standardized SDK to enable seamless compatibility of hardware wallets with account abstraction features such as social recovery, multi-signature, and complex permission management. The company is also exploring the generation of zero-knowledge proofs on hardware devices to verify signature legitimacy on-chain without exposing sensitive information.
Bacca stated that ZKNox aims to establish open-source hardware security standards, positioning hardware wallets as universal quantum-resistant digital identity signers across Layer 2 and application scenarios.#Ethereum #HardwareWallet #ZKNox #AccountAbstraction #QuantumResistant #FalconSignature #EVM #BlockchainSecurity #ZeroKnowledgeProof #CryptoInnovation #Layer2 #DigitalIdentity

🚀 Ethereum Foundation Unveils Wallet Security Model at EthCC[9]
#EthereumFoundation #WalletSecurity #TrillionDollarSecurityPlan #1TS #WalletBeat #ClearSigning #SecurityMaturityModel #EthCC9 #CrossChainSecurity #DNSAttacks #EthereumSecurity #BlockchainSecurity #CryptoWallets #EthereumL1 #SecurityIncidents #CryptoLosses
Ethereum Foundation project manager Hester Bruikman presented updates on the 'Trillion Dollar Security Plan (1TS)' at the EthCC[9] conference. According to Foresight News, Bruikman detailed the WalletBeat wallet security maturity model, which evaluates wallets based on user security goals rather than a checklist of features. Wallets are categorized into four stages: Stage 0 lacks security measures; Stage 0.5 covers some features but still poses significant preventable loss risks; Stage 1 protects users from most common vulnerabilities; and Stage 2 safeguards assets in complex scenarios like cross-chain and DNS attacks.
Bruikman emphasized that the current focus of 1TS is on enhancing user experience security, particularly through advancing Clear Signing to eliminate blind signing practices. The WalletBeat grading standard is intended to pressure wallet manufacturers to upgrade their security measures. Additionally, Bruikman revealed that by the end of the first quarter of 2026, Ethereum had experienced 16 major security incidents, resulting in losses of $93 million, with historical cumulative losses exceeding $7 billion for Ethereum L1.#EthereumFoundation #WalletSecurity #TrillionDollarSecurityPlan #1TS #WalletBeat #ClearSigning #SecurityMaturityModel #EthCC9 #CrossChainSecurity #DNSAttacks #EthereumSecurity #BlockchainSecurity #CryptoWallets #EthereumL1 #SecurityIncidents #CryptoLosses

🚀 Indonesia Delays Fuel Price Hike Amid Oil Price Volatility
#Indonesia #FuelPriceHike #OilPriceVolatility #IranConflict #FiscalMeasures #SpendingCut #CoalExportTax #Inflation #EconomicGrowth #SocialStability #BudgetDeficit #Moody's #FitchRatings #CreditRating
Indonesia has decided to postpone the increase in subsidized fuel prices despite ongoing oil price fluctuations triggered by the conflict in Iran, according to Jin10. Finance Minister Purbaya warned that any price hike could undermine economic growth and threaten social stability. The government plans to rely on a package of fiscal measures, including a 10% cut in spending across ministries and a potential new export tax on coal, to absorb the impact while keeping the deficit within the legal limit.
Purbaya stated, "If we remove subsidies, inflation will rise, capital costs will increase, and street protests will escalate, significantly dragging down economic growth. This is a highly risky policy. Therefore, under current conditions, we choose to prevent this scenario." Indonesia can sustain an average oil price of around $100 per barrel for the year while maintaining the budget deficit at approximately 2.9% of GDP, slightly below the legal cap. This fiscal limit has become a focal point for international investors and rating agencies. Recently, Moody's and Fitch Ratings have downgraded the country's credit rating outlook.#Indonesia #FuelPriceHike #OilPriceVolatility #IranConflict #FiscalMeasures #SpendingCut #CoalExportTax #Inflation #EconomicGrowth #SocialStability #BudgetDeficit #Moody's #FitchRatings #CreditRating
