- 22:03U.S. government "shutdown" continues as the Senate rejects the temporary funding bill for the 13th timeBlockBeats News, October 29, according to CCTV News, on October 28 local time, the U.S. Senate once again failed to pass a procedural vote, with a result of 54 votes to 45, to advance the "Fiscal Year 2025 Continuing Appropriations and Extension Act" aimed at ending the government shutdown.

- 21:36Ethereum Fusaka hard fork activated on final testnet, expected to launch on mainnet in DecemberJinse Finance reported that Ethereum's next hard fork, Fusaka, was successfully activated on the Hoodi testnet on Tuesday, marking the final step following earlier activations on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets this month. Fusaka is scheduled for at least 30 days of testing before its mainnet launch, with core developers tentatively setting the launch date for December 3. This upgrade will enhance Ethereum's scalability, efficiency, and security, including increasing the block gas limit, expanding "Blob" capacity, and introducing new node security features. The upgrade includes several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), among which EIP-7594 introduces PeerDAS technology, allowing validators to sample data fragments instead of full Blobs, thereby optimizing Layer 2 data availability. The Ethereum Foundation has also launched a four-week security audit competition with prizes of up to $2 million. The Fusaka hard fork comes about six months after Ethereum's last major upgrade, Pectra, and developers have already begun planning the next upgrade, Glamsterdam.
