PANews reported that Solana Foundation Vice President of Technology Jacob Creech explained the changes to SFDP: validator participation is limited to 12 months, validators exit when external stake reaches 300000 SOL, and the program supports at most 100 validators.
Teku 26.10.3 and Besu 26.10.2 cease trusting the relevant eMudhra certificates. Default mainnet nodes are reportedly unaffected, with no exploitation reported to date.

The platform said that user funds and delegated SOL remain under users’ key control, and that it will guide migration and provide compensation.
Marinade said that Agave 4.3.2 nodes skip approximately half of the slots during the first block-production window of each Epoch. Before the fix is released,PSR and SAM will not deduct penalties or determine that the online rate fails to meet the threshold on this basis.
Ethereum developers have merged a rule fix to prevent validator staking deposits from being credited to builder accounts under specific conditions. No losses have been reported,Glamsterdam and it has been running on the Sepolia testnet.

PANews, citing CoinDesk, reported that Solana plans at epoch 1053 on epoch to reduce the target block time from 250 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds, increasing the number of block-production opportunities per second to 5 and correspondingly reducing the compute limit per block.
PANews, citing Beaconcha.in data, reported that the number of active Ethereum validators fell over the past 7 days 2.5%to approximately 863000, while staked ETH increased to 43740000 in total over the same period.
