New Sui VM Goes Live For Public Testing With Updated Bug Bounty Program

Layer 1 blockchain Sui announced that its new Sui Virtual Machine (VM) is now live and available for public testing, alongside the launch of an updated bug bounty program.

According to Sui, the VM, which serves as the execution layer for all Move programs on the network, has undergone a substantial upgrade aimed at improving performance and scalability. It represents an important advancement in Sui’s execution infrastructure. The code is publicly accessible on GitHub, and Mainnet deployment is planned for early April. 

While the existing VM has supported Sui’s operations effectively, the upgrade addresses structural limitations that have become increasingly restrictive as the network expands and the Move programming language evolves. 

Key improvements in the new VM include per-package caching to reduce load times and optimize memory usage, a restructured system for type storage and resolution, enhanced execution across packages, and a redesigned interpreter for processing instructions. These changes result in a cleaner, more efficient execution layer and provide a foundation for future Move language features that the current architecture could not easily support.

Sui’s Bug Bounty Program To Cover New Virtual Machine, Offering Mainnet-Level Rewards For Security Testing

In conjunction with this release, the bug bounty program has been updated to cover VM-related vulnerabilities at full Mainnet rates, even prior to the code reaching Testnet, in order to maximize engagement from the security community.

The program, hosted on Hackenproof, now accepts submissions related to the VM. Vulnerabilities identified through this program will be rewarded at Mainnet rates, encouraging the security community to engage with the code before it reaches production. Organizers emphasized that identifying meaningful vulnerabilities is critical and that participants will be compensated appropriately for their contributions.

The deployment of a new VM to Mainnet is considered a major milestone for the network. The upgrade has already passed internal reviews and multiple independent audits, and opening it to public scrutiny under full bounty conditions represents the next stage in validating its security. This initiative is intended to ensure that the upgraded execution layer is thoroughly tested and robust, positioning Sui for future growth and enabling broader adoption of its Move-based ecosystem.

Ondo Finance Launches USDY Yieldcoin on Stellar, Bringing Tokenized U.S. Treasuries to Users

Ondo Finance Launches USDY Yieldcoin on Stellar, Bringing Tokenized U.S. Treasuries to Users

Ondo Finance, a U.S.-based digital asset firm specializing in bringing traditional financial products on-chain through tokenization, is expanding its yieldcoin USDY to the Stellar network. This lates update marks a step forward in merging tokenized real-world assets with a global payments infrastructure, unlocking new opportunities for users worldwide. The announcement was made at the Stellar Meridian event in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, on September 17. USDY Joins the Stellar Ecosystem Ondo Finance, a recognized leader in tokenized real-world assets, announced the deployment of United States Dollar Yield (USDY) on Stellar, the payments-focused blockchain known for speed and low transaction costs. USDY is the most widely available “yieldcoin,” offering investors access to onchain assets backed by U.S. Treasuries. This launch allows Stellar’s global user base to tap into permissionless, yield-bearing assets tied to one of the safest financial instruments in the world. It also aligns with Stellar’s mission of driving fast, affordable cross-border payments. Combining Yield with Payments Infrastructure “Stablecoins unlocked global access to the U.S. dollar. With USDY, we’re taking the next step by bringing U.S. Treasuries onchain in a form that combines stability, liquidity, and yield,” said Ian De Bode, Chief Strategy Officer at Ondo Finance. “Fast, affordable cross-border payments are at the center of what Stellar was designed to do. The global reach of the Stellar ecosystem combined with a yield-bearing asset like USDY levels up what is possible onchain, allowing wallets and businesses to offer yield opportunities to their users,” said Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation. Ondo claims by pairing USDY with Stellar’s infrastructure, new possibilities open up in treasury management, collateralization, and everyday financial applications. Unlocking Institutional and Retail Use Cases USDY currently manages over $650 million in total value locked (TVL) across nine blockchains and offers a 5.3% APY. By launching on Stellar, Ondo Finance extends these benefits to global retail and institutional users. The firm explains balances on Stellar can now become productive, supporting use cases such as onchain savings, institutional treasury strategies, cost-efficient collateral for DeFi protocols, and remittance flows that carry yield rather than remaining static. A Milestone for Tokenized Treasuries With the integration of USDY, Stellar users gain more than just access to stable-value assets—they gain access to institutional-grade yield. For investors outside the U.S., the launch represents a new way to combine the safety of Treasuries with the accessibility of blockchain technology. As tokenization accelerates globally, Ondo Finance’s decision to deploy USDY on Stellar reinforces the narrative that blockchain is not just about speculation, but about reimagining the global financial system through secure, yield-bearing digital assets
