PANews reported on October 27th that Solana co-founder Toly, in a post on the X platform, pointed out that the current Layer 2 network has fundamental security issues. He believes that building a complete Layer 2 network code is complex and has a wide attack surface, making it difficult to guarantee vulnerability-free and fully functional. To this end, existing Layer 2 networks generally adopt upgraded multi-signature mechanisms, but this renders all security guarantees meaningless. Toly emphasized that Layer 2 and the cross-chain bridge Wormhole face the same extreme risk: multi-sig can mobilize all bridged funds. In contrast, even if validators on chains like Sui achieve 100% staked support, they cannot unilaterally change the state without coordination from major exchanges and RPC nodes. However, Layer 2 multi-sig can directly upgrade bridge contracts and transfer funds. He explicitly refuted the claim that "Layer 2 inherits Ethereum's security," pointing out that five years after the L2 roadmap is implemented, Ethereum funds bridged by Wormhole on Solana face the same extreme risks as Ethereum funds on the Base chain, while generating comparable returns for Ethereum L1 stakers. Toly believes that Layer 2 has insurmountable security issues, which is why it has not achieved true security in the past five years.PANews reported on October 27th that Solana co-founder Toly, in a post on the X platform, pointed out that the current Layer 2 network has fundamental security issues.

XAG/USD refreshes record high, around $61.00

XAG/USD refreshes record high, around $61.00

The post XAG/USD refreshes record high, around $61.00 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Silver (XAG/USD) enters a bullish consolidation phase during the Asian session and oscillates in a narrow range near the all-time peak, around the $61.00 neighborhood, touched this Wednesday. Meanwhile, the broader technical setup suggests that the path of least resistance for the white metal remains to the upside. The overnight breakout through the monthly trading range hurdle, around the $58.80-$58.85 region, was seen as a fresh trigger for the XAG/USD bulls. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is flashing overbought conditions on 4-hour/daily charts, which, in turn, is holding back traders from placing fresh bullish bets. Hence, it will be prudent to wait for some near-term consolidation or a modest pullback before positioning for a further appreciating move. Meanwhile, any corrective slide below the $60.30-$60.20 immediate support could attract fresh buyers and find decent support near the $60.00 psychological mark. A convincing break below the said handle, however, might prompt some long-unwinding and drag the XAG/USD towards the trading range resistance breakpoint, around the $58.80-$58.85 region. The latter should act as a key pivotal point, which, if broken, could pave the way for further losses. On the flip side, momentum above the $61.00 mark will reaffirm the near-term constructive outlook and set the stage for an extension of the XAG/USD’s recent strong move up from the vicinity of mid-$45.00s, or late October swing low. Silver 4-hour chart Silver FAQs Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds,…
