Crypto news. Royal judgement.
A server-software flaw brings an urgent warning for Solana validators. Initia says its networks are running again, with some withdrawals still delayed. And a copper-token launch shows where digital ownership meets a physical warehouse.
I have ordered the finest armour available. Someone might have mentioned that coverage included the back.
Anza issued an urgent alert to Solana mainnet-beta validators on 2 November over CVE-2026-98432, a Linux kernel flaw. Tim Garcia, the Solana Foundation's validator-relations lead, recommended temporary measures for Ubuntu operators. Ubuntu's tracker still lists affected main kernel packages as vulnerable, with fixes in progress.
Initia announced at 05:04 UTC on 2 November that its Layer 1 and rollups were online again. The team says backing for AUSD0, USDC.n and WETH has been restored. It expects bridges and exchanges to reopen transfers separately, with a 24-hour delay for certain withdrawals.
Current product check: Metals.io launched its xCu copper token on 29 October, with fresh coverage on 2 November. The platform describes rights in stored physical copper recorded using Tezos technology. Its terms restrict physical delivery and supported wallets; a small token purchase does not mean doorstep delivery.
