Binance breach drains $3.5B from Ethereum and $5,64B total across Bitcoin and Tron. Tether and Circle froze $2.316B stablecoins. $880M remains freezable but not frozen.
Key points
Ethereum outflow $3.528B, Bitcoin $1.449B, Tron $628M, Arbitrum/Optimism/Base combined $38M.
Tether and Circle freeze at least $2.316B in stablecoins.

Logical gate set tomography on System Model H1
Logical gate set tomography is introduced as a new method to map physical errors to logical errors on System Model H1. The experiment shows detailed logical error characterization and supports full QEC workflow with mid-circuit measurement and real-time correction.
Key points
Logical gate set tomography added as a method for understanding how physical errors translate into logical errors.
Experiment on System Model H1 includes mid-circuit measurement and real-time correction as part of the complete QEC workflow.

ShorECDLP builds cheapest full quantum attack on secp256k1
ShorECDLP, built with @runzhou_tao and VerifiedQC at UMD, provides a method to find the cheapest full quantum attack on secp256k1 and backs it with a machine-checked proof. The work aims to replace prior estimates with a provable answer.
Key points
ShorECDLP requires a machine-checked proof of the whole attack.
The project is a collaboration between @runzhou_tao and VerifiedQC at UMD.
