Odaily: Aptos announced on X that the encrypted mempool is now live on the Aptos mainnet. Users can opt in on a per-transaction basis, keeping pending transactions encrypted until the block they are in is finalized. The functions being called and their input parameters remain private until execution, though the sender and gas fees are still visible, thereby reducing the risk of MEV attacks. This feature is designed for institutions, traders, and AI agents, helping prevent large orders from exposing trading intent before execution.

Odaily reports that according to Aptos monitoring, the Aptos Foundation has committed to locking and permanently staking 210 million APT, approximately 37% of the APT it held at the time of its mainnet launch. These tokens will not be sold or distributed. Foundation operations will be supported by the staking rewards generated from these tokens, rather than by selling the locked tokens themselves. Aptos stated that more updates will be released in the future, along with a complete tokenomics update.

Odaily News: Chainlink has launched CCIP Vault Adapters, enabling DeFi vaults to directly accept user deposits from more than 80 blockchains without needing to redeploy the vault on each chain. The product is now live, with protocols including Aave, Lombard, United Stables, Veda, and Venus already beginning to adopt it. The relevant vaults cover areas such as stablecoins, lending, yield strategies, digital credit, and tokenized assets.

Odaily reports that Hunter Biden on Wednesday released a forensic report produced by Groom Lake regarding the LAPTOP Meme coin launch, and called out the anonymous market maker involved in the issuance, stating that "the market maker who botched the launch should buy back all the tokens and burn them."The report shows that a wallet possibly controlled by "Market Maker 1" received $500,000 before the launch, but only deployed approximately $5,200 at launch, accounting for about 1%. All liquidity providers combined contributed fewer than 30,000 LAPTOP tokens to the main pool, representing only about 0.003% of the initial 1 billion token supply.The extremely low initial liquidity made LAPTOP's price highly susceptible to being moved by small trades. According to the report, a single $6 buy order could push the quote up by approximately 5%. Combined with high-frequency early trading and liquidity fluctuations, this led to extreme price volatility on launch day.Biden stated that "the biggest winner in this launch was the market maker." The report further supplements previous explanations regarding the failed launch. Last month, the project team attributed the price anomalies primarily to sniper bots and insufficient liquidity.Notably, as of October 7, the 300 million founder tokens held by the project team had still not been transferred. The core of the current controversy remains focused on the market maker's launch execution, liquidity allocation, and whether it improperly profited from the extreme volatility.

Odaily News: According to Hunter Biden monitoring, Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Biden, posted the independent investigation results of the LAPTOP token launch incident, stating that he had commissioned forensic firm Groom Lake to verify all transactions on the day of launch. He denied that the team cashed out, saying that the founder tokens remain concentrated in the same wallet and have not been transferred since launch; his personal tokens have been locked for six months and will then be released over two years. He cited the investigation as saying that Market Maker 1 had $500,000 in startup capital, but only injected about $5,200 and fewer than 30,000 tokens into the liquidity pool, with the latter accounting for only 0.003% of the total supply. Extremely low liquidity caused the price to rise from $0.05 to about $317 in less than two minutes, then fall 98% within one hour. Eighty-four seconds after the price peaked, Market Maker 1 withdrew funds during the sell-off, reducing the funds available near the current price to absorb selling from $16,200 to zero. He said Market Maker 1 made about $686,000 in profit from its DEX position, while Market Maker 2 netted more than $2.1 million from related DEX trades, and argued that the market makers responsible for the launch problems should buy back and burn tokens. He said he bears ultimate responsibility, will not exit the project, and plans next week to burn most of the unclaimed tokens from the first airdrop; that airdrop accounted for 10% of the total supply.

Odaily reports that Aptos Labs has announced the launch of MonoMove, the largest proposed upgrade in the history of the Aptos blockchain execution engine. Aptos Labs stated that internal testing shows MonoMove can run smart contracts up to 55 times faster than the existing system; on its incubated fully on-chain trading platform Decibel, collateral withdrawal speeds increased by up to 55 times, and order placement speeds increased by up to 22 times.

Odaily News: Hunter Biden posted on X, reposting the latest interview content, once again responding to allegations that the previously launched LAPTOP token was a scam.Hunter Biden stated that when the LAPTOP token launched, a market maker provided approximately $5,000 in liquidity, so a $6 buy could potentially drive its market cap up by about 5%. Hunter Biden also said that relevant wallet records can prove the project is not a scam, and responded to outside questions about the LAPTOP token's first-minute trading activity and project transparency. He also stated that many Democrats have misconceptions about the crypto industry.

Odaily reports that Aptos governance proposal 206 is currently under voting, aiming to enable ChunkyDKG V1 full mode and the encrypted_transactions feature. This mechanism will support encrypted transactions through distributed key generation, hiding transaction contents before they enter consensus ordering, after which validators collaboratively decrypt them, helping to reduce front-running and MEV risks. Voting on the proposal will end on October 6, with approval votes currently accounting for nearly 100%, but voter turnout stands at 2.69%, which has not yet met the 24.8% quorum requirement.

Odaily reports that Aptos Labs co-founder and CEO Avery Ching posted on X platform stating that claims that Aptos will shut down its blockchain in the next 6 months are "stupid rumors."Currently, public governance records show that Aptos still has network upgrade proposals and executed mainnet feature updates, with no official plan found to shut down the mainnet.
