On August 27, the fixed rate lending protocol TermMax (parent company Term Structure Labs) announced that it has secured a strategic investment from YZi Labs, with the amount undisclosed. TermMax is a selected project in the third season of YZi Labs' incubation program, EASY Residency. The protocol has raised over $8 million in total funding, with previous investors including lead investor Cumberland DRW from the 2023 seed round, as well as HashKey Capital, Decima Fund, Longling Capital, and MZ Web3 Fund. TermMax's mainnet is set to launch in April 2025 and is currently deployed on 10 EVM-compatible chains, operating 60 fixed rate markets and 40 strategy vaults, with a total locked value reaching tens of millions of dollars and over 1.5 million registered wallets. The protocol achieves fixed rate lending by splitting debt into three tradable tokens: FT (zero-coupon bonds), XT (interest and option value), and GT (leveraged position certificates), with settlement conducted through physical delivery. Its token $TMX completed its Token Generation Event (TGE) on August 25, with trading available on platforms such as Binance Alpha, Kraken, Bitget, MEXC, and KuCoin on its first day. Moving forward, TermMax plans to focus on three areas: on-chain yield curves, interest and options markets for tokenized stocks, and the institutional financing platform TermPrime.

Binance Completes Approximately 90% Asset Replenishment and New Reserve Proof Snapshot
On October 31, Binance announced that the replenishment ratio of stolen assets has increased from approximately 80% to 90%. The company has previously allocated over $6.34 billion of its own funds to cover the losses caused by this security incident. Currently, BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD, and ZEC have achieved 100% full reserve support. The sources of the replenishment funds include part of the SAFU user asset security fund, part of the contract insurance fund, and the company's own funds, with the remaining balance of the contract insurance fund retained as required by regulators. The approximately 10% of assets that have not yet been replenished consist of other tokens outside of the aforementioned ten, which may take longer to acquire due to relatively low liquidity. Binance is continuing to repurchase through market and OTC channels. A new round of Proof of Reserves (PoR) snapshot was completed at 08:00 Beijing time on October 31, and the relevant data has been updated on the official website. Binance stated that the generation of zero-knowledge proofs is expected to take 40 to 50 hours, with the complete proof expected to be provided on November 3 (UTC). Holders of the aforementioned ten tokens will be able to verify for themselves whether their assets have at least 1:1 full reserve support. Binance reiterated that it will fully bear the financial losses caused by the theft, rather than passing them on to users. The restoration of withdrawal services is progressing as planned and is expected to resume on November 1, with specific arrangements to be announced separately. -
DeepSeek Releases New Agent Architecture
On the evening of October 31, the DeepSeek Harness team published a technical article titled "Exploring Super-agent Design: Towards More Autonomous Agent Systems." DeepSeek stated that the enhancement of model capabilities has given rise to new application forms, with personal assistants (Personal Agents) recently emerging in large numbers. However, existing mainstream Agent designs struggle to support this model at the scale of multitasking and team collaboration, as the working mode of Agents is still based on a single session, with different sessions operating independently. Under this design, the limit of single-task performance depends on model capabilities, while the limit of multitasking depends on human attention. By employing a dual-layer architecture, event-driven design, asynchronous multi-channel interaction, separation of storage and computation, and external watchdog concepts, the DeepSeek team has broken through these limitations. The system takes over cumbersome session management and context synchronization at the underlying level, allowing humans to shift from specific execution details to higher-level decision-making and acceptance. DeepSeek refers to this form of Agent and its system architecture as Super-agent. The article mentioned that currently, internal Super-agent instances built on this concept are continuously running, participating in daily problem reproduction and resolution, code review responses, and the iterative development of DeepSeek Harness itself. -

AI Investors Suffer Heavy Losses as Sell-off Ends Three-Week Decline

Trump: Monitoring Binance Theft Incident, Uncertain if North Korea is Involved
On October 31, Bloomberg reported that U.S. President Trump is monitoring the Binance theft incident. In a C-SPAN live video, Trump responded to reporters' questions on October 30 while meeting with a U.S. citizen who had previously been detained by Russia in the Oval Office. When asked if the attack should be attributed to North Korean hacker groups, he stated, 'We don’t know, we are investigating this matter.' When questioned about the possibility of recovering the stolen funds, Trump mentioned that Binance has claimed they will recover the funds and assured that 'they say they have basically controlled the situation,' but he also noted that people have not seen the actual funds, expressing that he has always felt this 'a bit dangerous.' Previous reports indicated that Binance experienced a security incident this week, affecting approximately $6.3 billion in assets, with on-chain analysis firms like TRM Labs attributing it to the North Korean hacker group TraderTraitor.
